Hawaiian Union
Rejects Peace Plan
HONOLULU, (/I*)—A new Ter
ritorial government plan for Ha
waii’s 139-day dock strike foun
dered today on union rejection.
Gov. Ingram M. Stainback had
proposed that the 2,000 striking
dock workers go back on the job
at a 1.4-cent hourly wage increase.
Meanwhile, union and employers
would negotiate a new two-year
contract.
Fred T. Law, chairman of the
CTO International longshoremen’s
and warehousemen’s union strike
committee said “no” to that.
He said his committee would
give “immediate and serious con
sideration,” however, to any con
crete proposal made by the seven
struck stevedoring companies.
The union has accused Stain
back of “strike-breaking” with
Territorial operation of the docks. |

Kissli Trap Pax Case
To Judge Folta
JUNEAU, (£*) — Alaska’s hotly
debated fish trap case was ex
pected to go to federal judge
George Folta today for a decision.
Only brief rebuttal testimony
remained for today’s session after
attorneys concluded arguments in
the challenge by fish trap operators
of the new law which quadrupled
the Territory’s trap tax.
W. R. Arnold, co-counsel for the
P. E. Harris company, the plain
tiffs, summed up evidence yester
day. Frank Mechem argued legal
points and attorney Edward Allen
presented arguments for the mu
tual trap company, as intervenor.
John Dimond, assistant attorney
general, argued the case for tax
commissioner M. P. Mullaney. and
attorney general Gerald Williams
wound up the Territory’s defense.
Williams contended the new tax
is not discriminatory, as argued
by the trap operators, and he said
that the canned salmon industry
would not leave Alaska if forced
to pay the higher rates.
Wiliiams said the plaintiffs’
main exhibit “shows nothing but
profit.”
