ternational president of IFAWA,
and William Gettings,* regional
head of the CIO longshoremen’s
union with which Local 46 voted
last summer to affiliate.
Jurich, Gettings and several
other CIO union members were
present during the interview.
Gettings insisted “no pressure”
had been brought on the small,
be-spectacled Eskimo to remain in
the IFAWA-longshoregen’s camp
in the negotiations squabble.
Gettings charged the whole fliss
over Joe’s continued presence at
IFAWA headquarters “is just a
plot by the Salmon Industry.”
Joe acknowledged that he had
signed an agreement last week to
carry on negotiations through the
Alaska Fishermen’s Union (AFU).
But he insisted he thought it was
only an agreement that AFU
“would pitch in and help us.” He
said it wasn’t until after he re
turned to IFAWA headquarters
that “I found they wanted to
break me away from here (from
IFAWA).”
He said it “had lawyer’s words
and he didn’t understand it all;”
that he never meant to deviate
from his affiliation with IFAWA
and from joint action with the
longshoremen’s union.
Oscar Anderson, secretary of
AFU, challenged Joe’s statement
yesterday. He said there was no
doubt about the Eskimo’s quoted
intention of aligning with AFU.
Joe commented: “I made a
bad mistake in’ signing without
consulting my membership.”
Jurich said the demands of Lo
cal 4fi are for the same pay and
hour provisions that non-resident
workers get in the canneries; with
overtime, pre-season, post-season
and other work to be paid for
above the basic guarantee for the
season.
Gettings declared the demands
of all unions in the IFAWA-long
shoremen’s bloc will be negotiated
parallel; that none will be signed
until agreements are lined up by
all. He said that includes the long
shoremen’s controversial new Lo
cal 7-C for cannery workers.

class “D” Coastal Plains baseball

kins of Anchorage has a rosy fu
ture in professional baseball.
Herring was a famous minor
league pitcher himself. He says he
expects great things from the part
Indian lad. He was signed by At
lanta this year and the deal stir
red up an issue, because of his
school status, that went to the
high commissioner of baseball be
fore his status was cleared. He
! later was farmed to Wilson.
| Tompkins has failed thus far to
. collect a victory, but he has shown
I good stuff in two games.
In the first game, manager Her
i ring put Tompkins in with the
bases loaded, one out and the
game with Kingston tied at 4-4.
, He quickly retired the side with
two strikeouts on nine pitches.
In his other appearance, the
lanky Alaskan went ip after Wil
son was behind by one'run. He
held Newbern scoreless the rest of
the way. Rut his own team failed
to score and lost the game.
Herring said a regular starting
! berth probably will be offered the
lad after a few more days of
schooling. Tompkins and the
other young hurlers are getting
lessons from Herring dur i n g
morning drills. The manager says
Tompkins is one of his best pupils.
