And A Warning To The Public Of Juneau And Douglas We take this means to appeal to you, Mr. and Mrs. Juneau, and to you who live in Douglas . . . to our friends in labor and our friends who employ labor. Once again we have a strike for higher wages and different working conditions. Our work is stopped right in the best part of the building year. We have to shut down our entire payroll because our Laborers want a couple of things that just don't make sense. Before we attempt to simplify the wage and condition demands, we want to state that it is a shame, once again, that a handful of men can stop the summer payroll of hun- dreds of other working men - just to force upon us something that neither we nor most of the craft trades in this town think necessary. Juneau can't stand much more of this. We see business leaning heavily on gov- ernment payrolls in the absence of industry payrolls. Our seasonal payrol! will be lost and there will be a cold winter ahead unless you and we can persuade the Laborers’ Union that their demands are unreasonable. : The head of the Laborers’ Union came to us separately and told us that he had signed up the others for all demands - he hadn't. He claimed to have signed up Petersburg, Haines, Skagway and Wrangell, this in a release to The Empire July 12. ‘The only local contractor in Petershurg happens fo be in town - and has heard no demands. Haines has no contractors, Skagway has one carpenter. In other words, the union head, a Mr. Con- nors, fried fo stampede us info raising the labor scale - which after all does come out of the party ordering building improvements or repairs. The whole matter is unfortunate, we think, and the members of the craft unions agree with us 100%. Here is what the Laborers want and why we don't think we should give in: We Will Not Sign the AGC Master Agreement for one thing because it demands that we differentiate between the hundreds of classifications of laborers and pay eachadif- ferent scale for each hour spent in each different job,paying the highest scale for the en- tire day earned in any one job, even if the laborer helped out in the higher classification only fifteen minutes. Another thing,we can't hire labor from the home or on the sireel- we have to go through the Union, giving 48 hours notice. The Laborers’ Union insists on a fifty-cents-an-hour raise to Two Dollars per Hour and Higher for ditch diggers, brush cutters, general labor, timber fallers; asphalt rakers, etc. Do you, Mr. and Mrs. Public, realize that if we sign the contract that you will have 1o pay the same for occasional lahor to work around your home or summer cabin. The Employment Service will have mensitting around idle if labor costs too much. We offered $1.85 per hour - isn’t that enough for common, unskilled labor? We think it is. We don’t want to make too much of this difference in opinion - we just want to ask you people who are going to pay the price to reason with your friends in the Laborers’ Union and let us get back to work while the weather holds out.
