| WAGE CUT IS
CHARGED, BETHLEHEM
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5 —Chair
man Phillip Murray of the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee
charged that Bethlehem Steel
| Corporation was using a recent
order under the Walsh-Healy
Act to cut w3ges instead of rais
ing them.
Said Murray:
“Bethlehem is resorting to
trickery to evade the decision of
the Supreme Court on the mat
ter of paying just wages.”
He issued his statement at the
| start of a two-day conference of
more than 100 S.W.O.C. officials
to^check up on the union cam
paign throughout the entire steel
industry.
Murray said the most serious
j problem to the conference wjgs
the Bethlehem attempt to intimi
date the CIO group and the or
ganization’s failing to raise the
basic wage scale to the 61V20 an
hour, as required under the
Walsh-Healy Act.

Alaska Draft to
Start After
First of Year
Registration of men in Alaska
under the Selective Service Act
will be deferred until after Jan
uary 1, and when the first draft
is made for compulsory military
training it is expected approxi
mately 200 men will be selected
from the Territory.
This information has been re
ceived from Delegate Anthony J.
Dimond.
The Delegate asserts that pre
sent plans provide for the train
ing of Alaskan draftees in mili
tary posts in the Territory, with
few exceptions.
While no figures were given as
to the number of draftees to be
taken from the various cities, it
is considered probable that about
three-fourths of the 200 will be
drawn from the four largest cit
ies—Fairbanks, Anchorage, Ju
neau and Ketchikan. The other
one-quarter probably will be call
ed from Cordova, Valdez, Nome,
Seward and other communities.
“There will probably be no reg
istration or draft in Alaska un
til after January 1,” Delegate
Dimond declared. “In providing
for registration in the states, the
President expressly states that
registration and draft in Alaska,
Hawaii and Purto Rico would be
provided for later.
“The plan is to have the regis
tration conducted at the voting
precincts or at other convenient
places so that all may register
without difficulty, but it is pro
bable that the entire operation
will be under the supervision of
the Governor and the plan will
follow the registration and draft
of the World War, which worked
out well.
“The present plan contemplat
es the call of approximately 200
men in Alaska in the first draft
and for their training at military
posts in the Territory, with few
exceptions.
MORE INFORMATION
ON ALASKA DRAFT
Special problems in connection
with Alaska registration under
| the selective service law are be
! ing worked out, according to an
1 announcement by Secretary of
Alaska E. L. Bartlett.
According to word from Wash
J ington, the Alaska registration
'date will probably be set within
! the next week or two.
The southbound migration of
I seasonal workers at this time re
i quires special regulations for re
! gistration, Bartlett said. Those A1
' tskans who are in the States on
1 October 16, the registration date
; there, will report to the nearest
| local board. Their registration
i cards will be sent back to the
' Territory to be used in the draft
j here. Those wrho leave Alaska af
ter October 16 but before the
| registration date in Alaska will
| be required to report to a regis
l tration oiTice in the States within
1 five days after arrival in the
