Hawaiian Govt. To
Start Unloading
Strikebound Ships
'Continued from Page One)
voted approval to a motion con
demning the “strikebreaking law.”
This referred to the emergency act
under which the government seiz
ed the struck stevedoring compan
ies.
Rush said the hiring of 1.680
non-union men to work the docks
was progressing. He conceded the
Territory could not control the
threatened picketing on the main
land of ships loaded by govern
ment workers.
But he declared “we can and
will control the handling of cargo
into and out of Hawaiian ports.”
That meant the emergency law
would be involved if some mari
™ time unions carry out their plans
to walk off ships in Hawaii out of
respect to ILWU picket lines.
The law provides for injunction
action against interference with
government dock operations. It
also provides penalties of a $500
fine and three months in jail for
interference.
The first job will be to unload
six freighters in Honolulu. Then
the government will begin loading
sugar and pineapple for the main
land.
Hawaiia’s legislature was given
an amendment Friday which
would lighten its new seizure law.
The amendment, introduced by
Territorial attorney general Wal
ter D. Ackerman, Jr., prohibits:
< 1 > Strikes by government em
ployees, '2> picketing of govern
ment dock operations, <3) any con
certed refusal to transport or han
dle cargo worked by the govern
ment or perform any service on
vessels worked by the government,

Musk Ox Raising
Is Poor Living
<(>P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (7P>—The fish
I and wildlife service says musk
| oxen ranching is a poor way to
• make a living.
The agency, after years of study,
! found these things wrong with
the ungainly Arctic beasts:
1. Their slow rate of reproduc
tion. They don’t reach maturity
until they are four or five years
i old, and the cows breed only in
alternate years.
2. Their delicate health, despite
their bulk. A cold climate animal,
they don’t thrive in a temperate
zone. They cannot be clipped like
sheep because they are so readily
subject to pneumonia.
3. The taste and texture of their
flesh. It’s edible but not as good
I
as beef or mutton.
4. Their disposition. They hate
; everybody all the time.
“After years of study, the serv
ice has concluded that it is im
practicable to raise musk oxen as
a farming or commercial enter
prise,” an agency news release
said.
“At the present time there are
not sufficient animals available in
Alaska to warrant their removal
for experimentation.

WHITE FRONT GEESE ELUDE
FISH AND WILDLIFE PARTY
The Fish and Wildlife Service
party of three who have been bird
banding in the Colville district
returned to Fairbanks after a
search for the breeding grounds
of the white front geese, known to
be somewhere on the delta of the
Colville River. They floated down
the Colville River from Umiak.
They report the river unusually
high and muddy, with cold wea
there and no wind to blow away
the mosquitoes. They were unsuc
cessful in finding the white front
geese, but banded a number of
pintail ducks.
David Walsh, student of the
University of Alaska, who was one
of the party has been banding
birds as a hobby for several years.
