Delegates to Alaska AFL
Urged to Conduct
More Public Relations
ANCHORAGE, UPl—Delegates to
the 11th annual Alaska territor
ial Federation of Labor were
urged Monday to conduct “more
aggressive public relations.”
Larry Moore, Alaska manager
of Associated General Contracts,
asked in a convention address:
“Why doesn’t labor take a more
prominent part in community
affairs?”
“If you only leave the impres
sion on the public that you repre
sent the class of people that want
a wage increase you haven’t truly
represented yourself to the com
munity,” Moore said.
The AGC manager also called
on labor to participate with man
agement in moves to replace
dwindling government construc
tion with private contracts, to de
velop more effective apprentice
ship programs and to give full
support to accident prevention
programs.
Moore said present funds for
government construction in Alas
ka, including defense and civilian
agencies, totals about 45 to 50
million dollars. “This is about
half of what was allocated for de
fense construction alone in pre
vious years,” he said.
Glen Slaughter of Washington,
D.C., assistant director of the
AFL’s Labor League for Political
Education, said that in Washing
ton he has witnessed “fantastic
mismanagement of the greatest
nation on earth.”
Scoring Interior Secretary Mc
Kay and Defense Secretary Wil
son in particular, Slaughter said
“it is almost heartbreaking to see
a country such as this turned over
to a bunch of children.”
