Suitability of Employment Suitability of employment, first brought up at the meeting of the Comimission Tuesday by R. B. Erl- ing, F. E. Company, Fairbanks, was | presented from the standpoint of military employment in detail, as it applies to the Alaskan Air Com- mand as an employer, by W. Ted Wilson, Civilian Personnel Director, AAC, who read a letter from head- quarters AAC to the Commission, concerning a decision of an appeals referee dated June 1950. The decision concerned- the case of an unemployed applicant for compensation who was offered a referral by the USES to Ladd Air Force Base as a carpenter at $1.89 an hour, and refused to accept the | referral because he considered the work unsuitable as he had received $2.70 an hour from contract work. He was subsequently awarded un-| employment compensation at $2: week for a maximum benefit of $6. and with an added $5 per week de- pendency allowance. The text of the letter from Maj Genera! Frank A. Armstrong, Ji AAC, requested: “1. Complete review of this case by the Employment Security Com- mission of Alaska. “2. That the decision of the ref- eree in this case be set aside and not be accepted as establishing @ precedence for future similar cases Presenting the problem of mili- tary employment, the letter con- tinued: “The Alaskan Air Com- mand represents one of the large employers of year-round workers i Alaska. The policy of the command is to employ local residents insoiar as possible,” Mr. Wilson did not ask for re- versal of the appeals referee's dc- cision but he did ask for a heari: for presentation of more compleie and accurate information of Federal employment at the installation Alaskan Air Command and whic it was apparent was not furnishe the referee at the hearing. Chairman Rivers assured the / Force representatives that su hearing and full consideration v be provided. Mr. Wilson reque that David V.

Claimants had a consistent pat- tern of employment within their union and earn in the neighbor- hood of $5000 per year at union scale. It was brought out by Mr. Barry that tradesmen, including carpen- ters at Ladd Air Force Base during the fiscal year 1950 earned $4,450, plus 10 percent of an employee’: pay 15 annual leave compensa- tion. Other benefits accruing to a | Federal worker are: 15 days sick | leave per annum, retirement and disability benefits and very reason- able bachelor living quarters and | good food Other clarifying points covered | were: (1) No penalty is imposed at the Air Base upon failure of an i employee to give a two-week notice | of separation; (2) that Civil Service benefits accrue the first day of duty, that pay increases are per- mitted after 13 weeks of employ- ment and as Ladd Air Force Base |is a permanent installation, a con- {stant year-round ecivilian comple- ment with regular pay checks | throughout the year is necessary in- | suring permanent employment. | Chairman Rivers discussed the | benefits of employment at the Air Force installation during slack em- | ployment periods with the AAC Di- { rector, and suggested that it would be advantageous if some of the problems of employment of resi- Fairbanks between union employment and Federal employ- ent could be clarified. Mr. Wilson assured him that the Alaskan Air | Command is interested in full em- (pluymenn of local residents as is | feasibly possible, and assured the :Comxmmon that the Air Force in a is ready and willing to dis- | dents Alas] cuss problems of mutual interest at any future date with the Commis- sion and with Labor. Faced with similar difficulties in ! finding employees is the mili- tary, Paul shelmprdine personnel | director of the Alaska Railroad, sub- |scribed to the testimony of Mr. ;Wll\(m asked that the case cited be S0 as not to establish a | \K,CL aside precedent, and asked, also that | Alaska Railroad employment be considered “suitable.” Both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Shel- merdine cited the advantages of em- ployment with their organizations. “Stability” and ‘“continuous em- ‘plnymem as well as civil service benefits in the case of Air Force employment and benefits as to leave, medical assistance, commissary privileges, etc., as to the Alaska | Railroad Employment. | Erv Hill, ATFL president, and Frank Marshall, International rep- (resentative of the United Brother- {hood of Carpenters, AFL, said that [their ‘unions asked for prevailing wages for all public works. Marshall said that in the case referred to by | Wilson and Barry, the workman refused employment on the basis ,umr accepting work at the base of |$1.89 an hour might jeopardize permanent union . employment. Marshall also said that the privileges of commissary, etc., al- lowed military workers was con- sidered a discrimination against the Alaskan families, and should not be considered in rate of pay. Both Wilson and Shelmerdine em- phasized that there is “no penalty to those who leave without notice,” though Ward Gilmore testified that he had known of previous such cases. Also, Mr. Wilson said again that annual leave is basically a part of compensation, this to refute Mr. Hill's contention that annual leave should not be considered as pay.

GANG VIOLENCE I TOLD IN FEATURE AT 20TH CENTURY A story of the black market underworld—with action in the best cinema tradition — serves as the background for Warner Bros. grip- ping melodrama, “I Became a Crim- inal,” which is due to open at the Gross 20th Century Theatre to- night. Sally Gray, Trevor Howard (of “Brief Encounter” fame), and Griffith Jones top the cast in the drama which mirrors today’s head- nes of gang violence and police watchfulness. “I Became a Criminal” tells of an ex-fighter pilot who turns tc :rime for excitement and is framed for manslaughter when his con science advises him to object to icipating in drug traffic. He| pes from prison at the prompt- | ing of the gang-leader's girl and s to track down a witness who v help him, i Huv ard plays the role of the fugi tive, with Miss Gray, as the girl who helps out.
