29 Still Missing Off Wrecked Liner Two Persons Known To Have Perished Seward. Alaska. Feb. 7—(UP) —Twenty-nine persona still were unaccounted for today after the last known survivors were landed here from the lllfat.-d liner Yukon. Two persona, still unidentltied. were known to tie dead. The blanket wrapped bodies, believed to be those ot a soldier and a passenxer, were put ashore last nlxht with the last group ot survivors. The Coast Guard reported that 4£4 passenxers and crew members had been brought here hy through mountainous seas to the rescue craft which ploughed reef where the Yukon went aground during a blizzard Sunday. Alaska steamship company officials checked the roster of 495 passengers and crew in the hope that an entry error had been made. The passenger list included 180 returning soldiers. Coast Guard cutters and power boats equipped with searchlights combed the rocky, cliff-lined shores of Johnstone Bay for persona swept overboard when the battered liner cracked open amidships late Monday. Eighteen already have been found, chilled but unhurt. Rescued crewmen told of pulling two bodies from the oil-cover-ed water shortly after the ship tore In half, then watching them slip hack into the sea. A third man died ahßut 15 minutes after he had been hauled back onto the deck, bruised and bleeding from the jagged reef.

WE ACCUSE Some weeks ago the businessmen of Decatur puhlicly pledged full support to the workers at the General Electric plant on strike for a decent living wage. Since that time the General Electric officials have called on Decatur merchants in an attempt to intimidate them and force them to submit to the dictates of the General Electric Company. Here Are the Facts A few days after the ad entitled ‘’LIVE AND LET LIVE* appeared in the Decatur press, General Electric officials called on some of the merchants of Decatur. We were later informed that the General Electric Company had demanded that the Deca, tur merchants publicly apologize in an open letter for supporting the Union people on strike at the Decatur plant Since when has it been the “American Way of Life” for a large Corporation to dictate the thinking of the people in any town. One Decatur merchant very ably stated the situation when he said, “Charley Wilson’s family don’t buy anything in my store, my customers are the working people of Decatur and I’m backing them 100 S." Another merchant stated, “I know that the fellows need a raise, there is one General Electric worker that buys his groceries at my store and there are some weeks when his entire check is not large enough to pay his weekly grocery bill.” Is GE Interested In|Our Town? During the depression with hundreds of our citizens being la id-off work daily, G-E had no ads in the paper bemoaning the loss of wages to Decatur. From V-J Day until now, G-E has withheld electrical appliances from the market G-E waited until the first of the year until the excess profits tax was removed and now the Company is leading the fight to break price ceilings to further reduce the living standards of the American people. G-E expects to use your tax money to reward itself for not producing! Under the carryback provisions of the tax law if G-E loses $10,000,000 in 1946, the Treasury will refund it $35,000,000 of our tax money! We want lower taxes, not tax grabs for G-E. Other Companies Can Pay Decent Wages Here’s a roll call of settlements elsewhere: R. C. A. 17%-cente wage increase with 6 paid holidays Oil Workers 21-cents wage increase Chrysler Workers wage increase Henry Kaiser wage increase Ford Workers IS-cents wage increase t Clothing Workers—2o percent wage increase It’s Our Town I We’re more than half of the working population. It’s our trade that makes the community prosperous. When we work at decent living wages, the wheels of lindustry turn — stores are brisk with trade—our kids are healthy and happy and everyone • prospers. Good Wages are the determining factor of whether eat beans or beef, decent wages means decent prices to the farmers and professional people. This is our fight and we win or lots together.
