LABOR LEADERS SEE MARSHAL MAHONEY HOPE OF SETTLEMENT DIES SUDDENLY IN2 LOCAL STRIKES OF HEART ATTACK T . THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA PAGE SIX ; b DOUGLAS NEWS Two strikes continued to tie up construction jobs in Juneau today, but labor leaders were hopeful that meetings tonight would result in settlements. The strikes have been in progress since a week ago today, and mem- bers of the Juneau Contractors and Employers Association have beén hardest hit } Three independent contractor: today had signed the contract which, according to Steve Feist, business agent for the Teamsters Union, Local 10, is in force through- out the Territory. He said that he will meet with representatives of the contractors' association tonigft But the Construction and Gen- eral Laborers, Local 1203 (AFL) will meet with both independent contractors and members of the association. The laborers have been striking against members of the association in an effort to have existing con- ditions recognized, according to T. B. Erickson, executive secretary of the Alaska Federation of Labor. They want a wage hike which Erickson said, will bring their wages to a level with those paid laborers in Ketchikan and on the Menden- hall Apartment project here. “We are seeking recognition of a contract already accepted by some contractors here, and by con- tractors in Haines, Skagway, Pe- tersburg and Ketchikan,” he de- clared. About 20 jobs have been affected by the walkout of laborers, Erick- son said. The teamsters pulled 12 drivers off construction jobs in this area last Monday in protest to the prac- tice of employing truckdrivers as laborers at laborers’ wages while they are on the job as drivers, ac- A regular meeting of the Douglas IYOUTH CRITICALLY HURT IN (COLLISION SHOWS IMPROVEMENT A 12-year-old boy, critically in- jured in a bicycle-automobile col- COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT | SUCCESSOR TO YAW " 'BRANT IS NAMED|29 ARRIVE, 26 60 BY PAN AMERICAN MONDAY, JULY 10, 1950 HOORAY!?
