Wage Advance
Policy OK'd
By Johnston
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—UP!—
Economic stabilizer Eric Johnson
today approved a policy of allow
ing wage advances to keep step
with cost of living advances at
least until next March.
Johnson’s approval makes offi
cial policy of the proposal first
advanced by the Wage Stabiliza
tion Board.
It applies to all workers who
come under the board’s jurisdic
tion. Most workers paid on a
hourly basis and all workers rep
resented by a union are under the
board.
Johnson said the policy "is in
line with the overall stabilization
objective of keeping the American
economy in balance."
He approved it until March with
the statement that the wage pro
gram should be reviewed before
that time "to determine whether
it meets the stabilization require
ment then existing."
Johnson also approved an im
mediate six and one-half percent
wage increase for 90,000 northern
cotton-raydn textile workers,
members of the CIO-textile
workers' union. He allowed a fu
ture cost of living provision in
their contract in keeping with the
newly-announced general policy.

Light Meter Woes of New
Fire Hall Beset Council
Juneau's unusual three-meter
light and power system caused
the city council some trouble at
its meeting last night.
It was discovered that plans lor
the new city fire hall had been
drawn up for a one-meter system
in general use elsewhere—and a
$300 or $400 change must be made
to conform with the local system.
Other business that came be
fore the council were applications
for police patrolman, city engin
eer, application for a cab stand,
a delegate to attend the Northwest
Peace Officers convention in Sit
ka, repairs to the Ferryway tres
tle, icing in the small boat harbor,
a tower for the fire hall, and i
passing of an ordinance changing |
terms of councilmen. . i
Foss Explains
After a discussion regarding the
meter systems and cost of the
changeover, Harold Foss, archi
tect, was called to attend the
meeting and explain it.
Foss said that the one-meter
system is almost in universal
use and that he believed in time
Juneau would have it. He ex
plained how electrical engineers
designed the building ior the
one-meter system and it had
been overlooked when the draw
ings were checked, lie also poin
ted out that it would be expen
sive to change back to the one
meter job when that system was
installed her'.,
Mayor Waino Hendrickson call
ed Franz Nagel, manager of the
Alaska Electric Light and Power
Co., to see what could be done
regarding arrangements to leave
plans as they are and negotiate a
fair rate to be used until the
newer system is installed in Jun
eau.
Change Eventually
Nagel agreed to go along with
the idea because the fire hall
would be a public building and he
said that eventually the whole
town would be changed over to
the new system, Hendrickson told
councilmen.
It was agreed that this should
be done within the next few days.
The council approved install
ation of a 65-foot steel tower to
be placed on top the fire hall
on which the fire horn will be I
placed. It approved of a window
change within the hall that will
enable firemen to see the elec
trical panels.
No Trestle Bids
Since no bids were received on
the second call for repair to a
trestle on Ferryway, it was deci
ded to authorize the city engineer
to negotiate bids for driving 10
piling. Stringer and decking can
be placed later, the council de
cided.
An application by Harold
Fennel for a Glacier Cob stand
in front of the Alaskan Hotel,
was referred to the police com
mittee.
An application by Donald H
Prow for city patrolman and one
by Henry W. Berger for city en
gineer, were tabled. ,
Following some discussion on
sending a representative to the
Peace Officers convention to be
held in Sitka the last three days
of this month, it was decided to
lay the matter over until next
Thursday.
Terms Changed
An ordinance changing the
terms of city councilmen was
passed on third and final reading.
The city clerk will announce the
date and place of a special elec
tion to bring the issue before the
voters. The ordinance would pro
vide for the election of three
councilmen each year for two-yeai
terms, except this year when the
three candidates receiving the
highest number of votes would be
installed for two-year terms and
the next threfe for one-year terms.

Juneau Chamber
Writes Views on
Indian Claims
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce has written a letter to Dele
gate E. L. Bartlett making sug
gestions for the clarification of a
bill before Congress regarding the
settlement of aboriginal claims in
Alaska. It is understood that a
hearing on the bill will be held next
week in Washington.
The Chamber recommended an
early settlement of the issue to fac
ilitate Alaska’s development.
The question was raised as to the
doubts to forest titles as well as
those of minerals and fisheries.
The present wording of the bill
offers possibility of breaking up
the Tongass National Forest which
will make uniform administration
of the forest impossible, the
Chamber contended. Uniform ad
ministration is necessary for large
scale development of forest re
sources such as pulp mills and
plywood plants, the letter pointed
out.
The bill seemingly would permit
Indians to obtain title to unlimited
areas of tidelands, regardless of use,
the letter said. This might repeal
the “declaration in the Act of May
14, 1898. that the United States holds
all tidelands in trust for the future

Other points brought out were
