Cannery Workers
To Strike April 20
SEATTLE. April 5. (A*)—Alaska
cannery' workers have announced
they have voted in favor of a
strike on April 20, although the
ballots from the Alaska locals
have not yet been received. I’ru
dencio Mori, publicity director for
the cannery workers and farm la
borers union said the votes from
Seattle, Portland, San Francisco
and Stockton, are unanimously in
favor of the strike.
The action grew out of a wage
dispute at the same time as the
longshoremen’s strike in Alaska,
and was reflected in Seattle when
loading was halted on the SS Ton
gas, due to carry freight to Alaska.
Officials of the Alaska Transpor
tation Co. said loading would be
resumed when the strike was set
tled.

At Scotch Cap

Frontier advised the Thirteenth
Naval District that- only five men
were lost when Scotch Cap on
Unimak island was demolished oy
a tidal wave. Light tremors con
tinued yesterday in the island
area, but without tidal disturb
ances the navy said.
Previous announcements said
Scotch Cap light was normally
staffed by ten men, but a recent
change in personnel had been
made, leaving five men at the
light, but earlier dispatches had
not reported whether replace
ments had been made before the
disaster. The names of the dead

A dispatch said a twenty foot
tidal wave hit Sanak island on
April first, apparently the same
one which struck Scotch Cap at
Ikatan village on Unimak, and
several houses were swept into
the sea, but no lives were lost.
