Culinary Workers Strike
Closes Most Of Juneau
Eating Places
t Hy THt: Associated Pkesbi
A Culinary Alliance strike in
Juneau was reported Monday to
have caused delay of the sched
uled annual convention of the
AFL Alaska Territorial Federa
tion of Labor, scheduled to start
in Juneau Oct. 25.
The strike was in its tenth day
yesterday with no settlement in
sight.
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce advised Mayor Bert Mc
Dowell to create a special mayor’s
committee to seek an early end to
the walkout, which has resulted
in pickets being placed around
most of Juneau’s hotels and eating
places.
The union has demanded an
across-the-board wage increase of
$1 daily for its 100 strikers, and
an 18-month contract. Employers
have refused to consider a pay
boost. Provisional contracts have
been signed with 10 Juneau busi
ness establishments, leaving about
15 unsigned, including the city’s
three major hotels, the Baranof,
Gastineau, and Juneau.

Look Magazine Poll
Sees Democrats Ahead
For House, Senate Seats
Vice President Nixon Tuesday
swung into another major cam
paign tour that will take him into
10 states.
Nixon discussed the campaign
with President Eisenhower for an
hour Monday. Emerging from the
White House, he said he told Eis
enhower the Republicans “have
the election won—if we mobilize
our strength.”
In New York, Look Magazine
said Monday a nationwide survey
indicates Democrats will win con
trol of the House by a 236-198
margin and will gain a narrow
48-47 edge in the Senate.
Look said the survey was based
on interviews with political writ
ers and campaign leaders, scat
tered polls and assessment of re
cent special elections. The maga
zine describes itself as nonparti
san and said it is supporting no
candidates.
House Democratic leader Ray
burn of Texas said Tuesday in a
Washington interview that if
Democrats gain control of the
House he expects Eisenhower will
consult regularly with Democratic
leaders. He said that in that
event, his party would fashion “a
good program” and push it to
enactment.
