Alaska Service Is His Business
To many Alaskans, Captain Carl Nilsen,
commander of the SS. Aleutian, is both a
friend of long standing and a close associate
in the development of the Territory.
He began making a business of going to
sea when he was fifteen and joined the
Alaska Steamship Company as a third officer
* •
in 1917. Within three years he received his
master’s papers and subsequently took
command of the first of ten Alaska Line
ships he has commanded in his long service.
During his thirty-two years with the
Alaska Steamship Company, Captain Nilscn
has played an active part in providing the
water transportation so vital to expanding
Alaska enterprise and industry.
By entrusting its ships to experienced of
ficers like Captain Nilsen, the Alaska Steam
ship Company has built confidence in its
service to the Territory.

S&wi*t$ f4tl rflcufa
U. S. Court Indicts
Harry Bridges,
Tough ILWU Head
'Continued from Page One)
the ILWU, and Henry Schmio
member of the longshore coast la
bor relations committee and for
mer president of Bridges’ loca
here. Bail for each was set .
$5,000.
The union promptly assailed
the indictments as "a political
frame-up" by the Truman admin
istration to put the union out cl
business.
One count charged the three
men conspired against the imn
gration laws by fraudulently ob
taining naturalization for Bridge
on Sept. 7, 1945. Another coun*
charged Bridges with perjury u
denying that he was then, or eve
had been, a member of the com
munist party. The third coun4
charged Schmidt and Robertson
with perjury. It accu.-ed them ol
testifying falsely that Bridges had
not been a member of the com
munist party.
Bridges was in New York. He
went there after a recent stormy
session ot the CTO executive
council in Washington at which he
and other left wing leaders wert
told to get in line with CIO poli
cies or get out. The union said he
would leave New York yesterday
for San Francisco.
Robertson was reported in Sa:
Francisco and a union attorney
-aid he would surrender yester
day. Schmidt, who has been di
recting the Hawaiian waterfron:
strike, surrendered to the U. S
Marshal at Honolulu. He was ac
companied by s:x beefy stevedore
who shielded him from news cam
eramen. He called the indictment?
"just another attempt by the em
ployers to wreck the ILWU.”
Conviction on the charges car
ries i possible maximum penalty
of seven years in pri.-on and Sld,
000 fine.
Government men taditig part n
the grand jury presentation in
cluded F. Joseph D >nohue, spec .1
assistant attorney general fr >ni
Washington, and John P. Boyd,
deputy commissioner of the immi
gration and naturalization service.
Boyd helped prepare the first d -
portation case against Bridges 1
1939.
Boyd said the move to revoke
Bridges* citizenship culminated a
long investigation. “We have new
evidence which has never , been
presented before,” he said. “We
feel reasonably certain of our
case.” He added that some prom
jinent labor leaders had been help
i ful in developing the case.
After Bridges’ first deportation
hearing in 1939, James JV1. Landis,
| then dean of the Harvard Law
School, ruled the evidence failed
[to establish that Bridges was, at
that time, a member of, or affili
ated with the communist party.
A second hearing was held in
11941. Judge Charles B. Sears of
:Xcw York recommended Bridges’
: deportation on the ground he "has
I been affiliated” with the com
munists. But the United States
Supreme Court held there was no
evidence to support the finding
land reversed Sears.
Slim, tough-talking Bridges be
came president of the longshore
men in 1934, year of a bloody, 98
day waterfront strike. He has
been the driving force in the long
shormen’s long series of strike*
since, and only this week was re
turned to office.
Seve ral of the Bridges-led
strikes have tied up Pacific coast
and Alaska shipping.
