Beattle, Wash, " Avenue Bld WARNING TO LABOR This is addressed to workmen, skilled and un- skilled, in the States who are contemplating a rush to Alaska. Don’t. Don’t come north unless you have a position, or rather a job, for certain. Don’t come north, if you have that job, until late in April or later, and then be sure to have enough c in your jeans on which to spend for subsistence until the job is ready. idle wa down to This is , but a cold fact. no earth | siderable as construction workers are absorbed on local and out-of-town projects.” Thirty days, that means in April and the situa- tion is the same in all sections of Alaska. Construc- tion may and will probably be delayed on account of Managing Editor | the weather conditions, so perhaps, May 1 will be | the date to see the start of the short season's work. There will be some start in April of the fishing season but many of the unemployed here and in this section follow the season and will get employment There is little opportunity for the outsider in this early fishing season, if at all. Agent Gissberg also stated his office has on file applications by men of nearly every craft and perhaps other employment agencies throughout the Territory can report the same situation. The Empire has received a night letter from a man in Portland, Ore. saying he had read that mil- lions of dollars have been committed for thousands of units of construction and he, wife, his brother, his wife's two brothers and children are ready to come to Alaska for the needed work and “when should he leave for there?” Certainly the FHA has or will have a vast sum for building units but did you ever stop and realize that nails, lumber to fixtures, are needed for this proposed construction and the greater part of the needs must be transported from the States to specified construc- tion sections. The Empire stated yesterday in the news columns that apartments for 986 families are to be constructed in Alaska during the coming season. So good, but the material must be on the ground floor. A good season of 1950 is promised but labor is again warned that it is better to secure contracts for jobs before coming and then be disappointed with existing conditions and if you do come regardless, leave the family back home, housing here and else- where, Who’ll Be the First? (Seattle Times) Twelve leading American scientists have urged the United States to agree not to be the first to use the, H-bomb. That would be the high-minded and magnani- mous position for this nation to take, to be sure, and Everywhere in Alaska, right now, are plenty of | both skilled and unskilled workers for the few jobs | that may open within the next few weeks. The major- have been jobless for the past several months use of winter, and they are all ready for the job e when it opens. Take for instance Juneau. There are at present| 479 unemployed at the present time. This is accord- ing to Cedamae Cammock, Secretary of the Central Labor Council, A. F. L. In past years, she says, the 1w rity of unemployed have been absorbed when weather permitted construction projects to begin. Here is another straight statement on the labor situation made by Gus Gissberg, manager of the local Territorial Employment Service, speaking of the mid- winter slump: “We are starting to get out of the woods i there are hopeful signs that within 30 days | nber of unemployed should be cut down con now an the fhé Wéshinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) | | that was being s | spiripg, and we & in mind that R been pointed out munist. insisted upon standing p(\!." hn, according to my informant, | to get the President to ac-| “There’s been a ce my apology, but the meet-|about deep freeze e up at midnight with the and such.

Certainly, the United States would not use any sort of bombs without a declaration of war following extreme provocation. Such provocation might indeed be an attack on American soil. And if the initial onslaught were made h an H-bomb, the United States would have no but to retaliate in kind. But suppose the attas were made with some less lethal weapon, wouldn't the United States be justified in using the H-bomb first, if that seemed likely to end the war? It is something to think about, and we would not envy a President forced to make the decision. In any case, if we should ever decide not to be the first to use the H-bomb, let us not tell the world about it. That would be the nth degree of altruistic foolhardiness. ecour: “What were you born under?” asks an astrologist.
