Labor Department
Opposes Passage of
Strikebreaker Bill
JUNEAU iJPi — A spokesman for :
the State Department of Labor told
a Senate-House Free Conference
Committee Wednesday the agency
opposed passage of the House ver- ;
si onof the strikebraker bill, SB49.
Joe Kirkbride, public information 1
officer for the Labor Department, '
said Commissioner Gil Johnson
feels the bill as now written was ;
too restrictive.
“Would the House bill be a lever
for a jurisdictional dispute?” asked ,
Rep. Mark Jensen.
“In our opinion,” Kirkbride re- r
plied, “the House bill would place
the employer in an untenable posi- s
tion.” <
As the bill passed the Senate, it -
would have prevented a third party j
from acquiring persons from out of
state to take the jobs of employes J
involved in a strike or lockout. ]
The House rewrote it to prohibit ;
anyone, including the employer in- i
volved in a labor dispute, from
recruiting personnel from outside
of Alaska to replace struck or lock
ed out employes.
It would also prevent labor un
ions from importing persons into
Alaska to picket firms involved in
a labor dispute.
Kirkbride said the Labor Depart
ment feels it would be desirable
to have legislation which would
prohibit the importation of profes
sional strikebreakers.
He said the department would
also like to see legislation which
would require Alaskan employers
involved in a labor dispute to make
such information known to an em
ploye recruited outside, before the
new employe is brought to Alaska.
Opponents of the House version
claim it would virtually hamstring
employes in negotiations with their
employes.
die of a jurisdictional dispute be
ffiye any protection tn the employ
er who may be caught in the mid
dle of a jurisrictional dispute be
tween two or more unions.

APPROVAL TO STATE AID
FOR SCHOOLS DISTRICTS
JUNEAU m — The House yes
terday gave its solid approval to
a bill which would create a for
mula for state aid to independent
school districts.
The measure, which was a Fi
nance Committee substitute to

It now goes to the Senate for its
consideration.
Rep. Dora M. Sweeney, chairman
of the Health, Education and Wel
fare Committee, told the House
that the legislation would provide
a simple and equitable plan for
state support of district schools.
The substitute bill specifies that
the plan will not go into complete
effect until July 1, 1963, providing
a two year transitional period dur
ing which time two legislatures
will be able to iron out kinks as
they arise.

garding supplemental allotments to
districts who raise more than the
required funds on a local level. '
