To Solve West
Coast Strike

shoremen’s and warehousemen's
union and Hugh Bryson as chief of
the marine cooks and stewards.
Shipping spokesmen said their
leadership was “irresponsible.”
2. In Seattle, the Washington
state federation of labor announc
ed AFL longshoremen will work
cargo in Tacoma Monday morning,
ignoring the CIO longshoremen’s
picket lines they previously have
respected.
The longshoremen and cooks
and two other CIO unions, as well
as the independent marine fire
men, are joined in the strike.
The tieup began Sept. 2 on a de
mand for higher wages. The long
shoremen had asked a 15-cent an
hour increase to $1.82 an hour; the
employers offered 10 cents. After
the strike began the employers
withdrew all offers, demanding
that leaders of all the unions sign

Fisheries Men Meet
For Confab
SEATTLE, <JP)—Delegates from
the three Pacific States, Alaska,
and Hawaii, are scheduled to meet
I in San Francisco Oct. 21 and 22 to
discuss the expansion of Japanese
fishing operations.
Capt. Miller Freeman of Seattle,
chairman of the Pacific fisheries
conference, said the meeting was
called as a result of a Washington,
D. C., announcement that the wa
ters of trust territories will be
thrown open to fishermen of all
nations. A disclosure in newspa
pers that Japanese fishing opera
tions are being conducted in wa
ters far beyond the limits set by
General MacArthur.

the Taft-Hartley act.
Bridges and Bryson have not
signed the affidavits.
“We cannot regard the present
leadership (of the longshoremen
and cooks) as responsible,” the
| employers declared in a six-point
I statement Friday.
ON THE BALLOT in the October 12 election there will be a referendum on ’’the practice of fishing by means of traps
should be continued or.should be abolished.” To abolish traps, we believe, would amount to confiscation and would
permanently injure the Territory of Alaska.
i
la Traps mean jobs—not just for 45 days but for six to nine months for approximately 4,000 people,
mostly Alaskans.
2a Traps are the best means of conserving Alaska’s salmon.
3a Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory would have to levy additional taxes on all other
Alaska businesses and individuals.
4a Traps, together with mobile gear, allow canneries to operate efficiently. Without traps, at least
25 large canneries would close down because they would be stripped of their dependable supply
of salmon—thousands of men would lose their jobs.
5. Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscate them and you undermine the Territory’s stability.
An unstable region cannot develop a diversified economy.
6« Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry that they make it possible for packers to pay fisher
men maximum prices. Confiscate traps and you cut down these earnings. Nobody gains—every
one loses.
7 ■ Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world leadership in the canned salmon industry. Confiscate
them and you so weaken America’s position that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing U. S. fish
ing equipment, to seize this prize in world trade.
\
ga Traps represent large investments in venture capital. Confiscate them and you discourage other
industries from investing in Alaska’s future.
t
9, Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate them and you establish a gear monopoly in the
catching of salmon.
|Q Traps, seines and gill nets — ALL THREE TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to maintain
Alaska’s canned salmon pack. Varying conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds make it eco
nomically feasible to fish certain areas to full advantage only by means of traps.
