Plumbing Strike
Will Last Until All
Demands Are Met

day night.
Plumbing work on several large
construction projects is being de
layed by the strike. These jobs in
clude the McKinley Manor apart
ment, an addition to a hospital,
an addition to the Eielson building
at the University of Alaska, hous
ing projects in town and military
defense projects at Ladd and Eiel
son air force bases.
It was estimated yesterday that
the 90 plumbers present at the,
Tuesday night meeting have lost
510,800 a week while on strike.
This figure is based on a 40-hour
week at the present rate of $3 an
hour. It does not include over
time, which probably would have
boosted earnings to more than
$12,000.
No meeting has been set for fur
ther negotiations between con
tractors and the union. The con
tractors met again Wednesday.
FAIRBANKS, (A5)—Deadlocked
for more than a month in a dis
pute over wages, members of the
plumbers and steamfitters union
and five contractors have agreed
on an hourly wage of 3.50.
Also granted by the employers
was double time for work beyond
40 hours, except on Saturday,
which calls for time-and-a-half.
The increase for work men
amounts to 50 cents an hour.
Both sides said work would be
resumed immediately on local
housing and military projects.

Gen. Kepner Takes
Over Job Of
Alaskan Defense

sions with'bombers and fighters in
Europe where he commanded
fighters escorting bombers com
manded by Maj. Gen. Armstrong.
They’re both together again. Arm
strong heads the Alaska Air Com
mand.
Kepner, as commander in chief
of Alaska, works also with Rear
Adm. Clifton A. F: Sprague, com
mander of the Alaskan Sea Fron
tier. They were together as dep
uty commander during Operation
Crossroads, which tested the
atomic bomb in the Pacific.
His first statement reassured
civilians that Alaska will be de
fended. Emphasizing that nothing
can be gained by hysteria, he said:
I was pleased with the calm re
action of civilians here to the in
ternational situation, particularly
how the women taken the devel
opments well and without uri
necessary alarm. I make a point of
talking to them, learning their
feelings toward current news
events and I find that Alaskans
*
have responded admirably to the
situation.”
Public reaction indicates un
questioned confidence in General
Kepner’s ability to provide the
best defense for this far-flung
Territory, which is a vital frontier
for the United States.
Friends of Dean Schall of the
ACS are welcoming him back to
Nome after assignment in the
States for the past year. Schall
stated that he expected his family
to return also in the near future.

Secy. Lie Asks For
U. N. Infantry
LAKE SUCCESS, (JP) — U. N.
secretary general Trygve Lie
urgently appealed today to 52 U.
N. members for ground forces and
other assistance for the U. N. Ko- j
rean war effort.
Lie told a news conference the!
unified command under the j
United States is in urgent need of j
additional effective assistance. He
dispatched telegrams to all U. N.
countries backing the security
council action against communist
North Korea, telling them he
would be grateful for them to con
sider the possibility of such as
sistance, “including combat forces,
particularly ground forces.”
Prank Hefner and John Holts,.
surveyors of the Pacific Fire Eat
ing Bureau from San Francisco,
are here for a few days checking
fire hazards in business houses,
churches, schools, warehouses and
other institutions which require
specific fire insurance rates. They
have been in Ketchikan a month,
Anchorage and Kodiak and Fair
banks, and will cover other south
eastern towns on the return trip.
Pulp Mill Given
Year To Qualify
For Contract
WASHINGTON, (jP)—The for
est Service said this tfeek it has
given the Ketchikan Pulp and Pa
per Co. until Aug. 2, 1951 to qual
ify under a contract to buy 1,500,
000,000 cubic feet of Alaskan pulp
timber.
A preliminary award made to
the company on Aug. 2, 1948 re
quired it to meet certain qualifi
cations for final purchase.
Lyle F. Watts, chief of the for
est service, aid the date was ex
• t . , .
tended two years so the company
will have time to build a sulphite
pulpmill using the magnesium
base process.
The forest service wants the
magnesium base process used to
eliminate possibility that pulpmill
waste materials might pollute
r
ocean waters and damage the
Alaskan fishing industry.
The initial pulpmill, to be built
at Ward Cove, Ketchikan, Alaska,
will have a daily capacity of 300
tons of pulp. The timber the com
pany has agreed to buy from the
government will supply a pulp
mill with a daily capacity of 525
tons for 50 years.
