Second Industrial Revolution
THE PATTERN OF labor-management disputes has
undergone a significant change in recent times.
Wages — formerly the heart of controversy — are no
longer the big thing. The real stumbling block is
automation — the means by which more production
can be achieved alt lower cost.
The word automation is comparatively new, but
the principle is not. The great industrial revolution of
two centuries ago was an example of automation —
of the application of machines of one kind or another
to tasks that formerly had been done by hand. And
that first industrial revolution, like the one we have
entered now, was fought tooth and nail by workers
who feared the loss of jobs.
High American wages are a primary reason why
foreign producers can, in growing numbers of in
stances, underprice us. If we stand still, and insist
that men be employed where there is no need for
their services, our world economic standing will con
tinue *o suffer.
The problem is how to increase our productive
efficiency and to improve our ability to compete with
foreign producers with a minimum of dislocations to
labor. That can be accomplished through labor-man
agement cooperation in training displaced workers for
other j6bs and in assisting them in other ways. If
history teaches anything, it teaches that no group has
ever gained in the long run by opposing progress.
State Sen. Logan Says
Russians Are Constantly
Checking Alaska Radar
SAN FRANCISCO, M — An
Alaska State Senator said yester
day that planes, believed to be
Russian, have made monthly
flights over Alaska in recent years
and Soviet fishing boats off Bris
tol Bay constantly check on U. S.
radar installations.
“Everybody in the northern part
of Alaska knows about these
flights and has come to take them
for granted,” Sen. Bob Logan said
in an interview.
U. S. Air Force officers know
darned well about them but they
never give out any comment.”

Before Bush could reply, John

contact.”

Jobs for Eskimos
Is Top Concern of
GOP Candidate
By DICK STROM
Nome Nugget Staff Writer
“Unemployment rolls do not
provide taxpayers,’ stated Mrs.
Edith Bullock, when asked for a
statement on what she considers
an issue of public concern.
Interviewed at Kotzebue last
weekend, Mrs. Bullock, Repub
lican candidate for the State Sen
ator-at-large seat for District N,
emphasized the difference in prob
lems c onfronting Northwestern
Alaska from those of other areas
in the state.
Mrs.. Bullock, who opposes in
cumbent Senator Lester Bronson
for the Second Division Senate
seat, points to a growing wage
earning potential and a great man
power surplus as a powerful
resource. She stated:
“There has never been a proper
registration of people available for
work in this area. To provide
working taxpayers, the Native
people must be taken into the wage
economy of all Alaska.
“Planned relocation is not
large enough to provide for all
families who are changing then
way of life to meet the needs of
a modern breadwinning system.
“Proposed and existing manual
training schools provide a good
measure of competitive skill, but
must be followed up by job place
ment to be effective.
“Our first job is to find and
provide gainful employment.”
Mrs. Bullock explains her prime
reason for remaining in politics is
to help solve these problems of
Northwestern Alaska. She further
added:
“All busines people in Alaska
must have wider participation in
setting state policies. No one bet
ter understands the problems of
attracting new business and fur
thering economic development
than does someone who has had
experience in the economic devel
opment of Alaska.”
The Kotzebue Republican can
didate has been in the Second Di
vision since 1939, and feels she
wants to take a personal part in
fashioning legislation to make sure
Northwestern Alaska and the Na
tive people haev adequate repre
sentation.
Mrs. Bullock says she hopes to
come to Nome in the near future.
When asked if she could be in
duced to talk publicly about her
recently completed World Tour,
the beaming, poised -business
woman replied she had many
slides taken in all parts of the
world, and would be happy to
display them here if an open
meeting were arranged. She told
of coming into contact with many
types of native peoples in other
lands, but none impressed her as
the Eskimos do for their intelli
gence and adaptability.
-Mrs. Bullock concluded her
remarks stating she will begin
campaigning politically in earnest
later in the year.
