The Pittsburgh strike was it .per-. : suasive example of the need for regulating strikes in public utilities. A city of nearly 1,000,000 people was held hostage for 27 days by a strike involving a power company and some 2,500 employees. Transportation was-crippled, industry, was tied up, tens of thousands of other workers were : left without work, millions of dollars were added to relief costs. This : sort Tof thing will surely lead to lavs : jcurbing, strikes in public utilities. i But now comes Mr. Lewis with ; the coal strike just at the beginning-; of winter. Americans have almost 1 become used to being held up by Mr. ! Lewis in the spring. For it, happens .nearly every year. Last May they needed little coal for heat. And they . did not at once feel the shortages of I goods that factories shut down by I the coal strike failed to produce. '.But those shortages have added to ;the inflation problem. And a coal ; strike in cold weather can be sharp-;.)y felt by citizens who have small J fuel reserves. The very threat of a coal strike ; in November should arouse the public to demand reasonable restraints ' on strikes in public utilities. Neither ; labor nor management possess an unlimited right to settle their dis- putes by industrial war without re- , gard to the rights of the community.

It is, in fact, only a manifestation-of the innate desire to be free a desire thai will culminate one of these days irj statehood. And every . time a group of Fairbanks merchants decides to import goods over the Al-can highway or a group of Juneau merchants agrees to import by way of Prince Rupert's railhead, they are unconsciously agreeing that political independence and economic independence must come together. ' 'The present carrier&can hardly,, oppose with much voice the effort of Alaskans to build some kind. of dependable shipping service. They tnemseives arc doing little but ask for federal subsidies. They are not going out of their way to continue service during the labor 6trife along the coast. They have not compromised the issues that hinder, the sailing of relief ships. We believe it is only fair, in the light of these facts, that if and when congregational assistance is given to shiplines serving Alaska, the Rupert route be given equal consideration. It is much more important to Al ' aska to have continuous shipping by two or three alternate routes than to have big luxury liners built with government money. We need bottoms to move our goods to market and bring in machinery and supplies. We can take care of tourists on our highways, ferries and airlines. And the highways and ferries will do more to develop the country and leave money in Alaska than would a few luxury tourist vessels.

At least it seems the time has come when a test should be made as to ; just how far people of this city are prepared to go in helping themselves in such a way as this. Surely, we should be ready to back the convictions which we profess to have in the possibility of successful industries be it a veneer mill or what not being established and operated here. Certainly if Prince Rupert people are not willing to take a chance themselves, they can hardly expect any one else to do so.

But wouldn't she be surprised if she found it priced in rupees! That it isn't, is due in large measuro to tho services rendered by your bank. When you buy imported goods in Canadian stores, you pay in Canadian dollars but the people who made them were paid in Indian rupees, British pounds, French francs . . . It is the Same in reverse 'with exports. You may be one of the three out of every eight Canadians who make their living through goods sold abroad. If so, you receive your wages in dollars, but your products arc sold in all sorts of foreign currencies. Arranging the complicated exchange and transfer of foreign funds in such transactions is but one of your bank's many services enabling Canadians to buy an sell abroad.
