CHAMBER LEGISLA
TIVE REPORT
(Continued from page three*
some consideration when it comes
to getting a loan for various busi
ness purposes. Lately, however,
much bitterness is being noted
among veterans that mining and
laising of reindeer herds are for
all intents and purposes excluded
as business enterprises for which
such loans could be procured. This
.s regrettable, as a large number
of dese. ving veterans with excel
lent mining experience are not
given the means to follow up the
the only thing they know and
wherein they could reasonably be
expected to make good. It is in the
nature of our country that one fol
lows that livelihood or enterprise
which is the proven mainstay of
our Northwestern Alaska econo
my. To exclude the veteran to en
gage in these fields is economic
folly. The veteran has to be reck
oned with, and it can not go on
that we have so many disgruntled
men who served as they did and
now find themselves rather disap
pointed when they want to get
into a field, the returns of which
have made Alaska what it is to
day.
The Alaska World War II Vet
erans Act, as approved on April
3, 1946, should be amended in
such a way that the ex-soldie»* i
with the proper qualifications has
access to the loan fund for use in
the mining and reindeer industries.
No. 24—He-establishmeni of Trade
Relations With Siberia
It appears as if the Federal gov
ernment al Washington can be in
fluenced to renewing the trade
with Siberia via the Nome sectci.
Dozens of small vessels once plied
regularly between Nome and Si
berian ports. Unfortunately with
the ascent of the Soviets this trade
came to an end, but as there is a ,
tendency to foster trade relations
with the U. S. whenever the pres
ent Russian government is con
vinced of the mutual benefits, it
is not unlikely that trade from Si
beria via Nome will be re.sumea.
The sentiments for trading via
Alaska are under way, and it is
for this reason that the United
States Department of Commerce
plans on opening a district office
in Juneau shortly.
The opening of Nome to the Si
berian trade would be an event of
most beneficial consequences to
our Second Division. The Legisla
ture itself should go on record
with a petition to the Department
of Commerce pointing out the vast
possibilities of this Nome-Siberia
trade.
Labor Leaders
Denounce Report
Of Commission
SEATTLE, UF)—Maritime labor
leaders in Seattle yesterday de
nounced as ‘‘anti-labor propagan
da” a recommendation by a spe
cial shipping commission to ban
strikes on Alaska ships.
The recommendation was in
cluded Monday in a report by a
three-man commission studying
Alaska shipping to the House Mer
chant Marine subcommittee. It
cited labor costs and disputes as
the maior deterrent in providing
adequate service to the north.
Ed Coester, Seattle business
agent for the Sailor’s Union of the
Pacific, AFL, charged t'->e r immi -
sion "spoke as mouthpiece for the
i shipowners.”
The union official declared the
S.U.P. "will never stand for its
constitutional rights being taken
away.” He asserted:
‘“This so-called commission com
posed of shipowners’ representa
tives and sympathizers, is merely
attempting the old dodge of try ng
to make scapegoats out of the
unions for a fouled up shipping
mess caused by many other fac
tors.”
A similar blast at the commis
sion’s report was fired by Edward
Tangen, acting agent for the ma
rine cooks and stewards union,
CIO. Tangen charged the report
‘‘was just part of the overall big
business drive against labor.”
