Keeps Juneau Mill
Closed For Year
JUNEAU, (i*P>—A woodworkers
union officer and former mill ex
ecutive testified Wednesday in the
Juneau Spruce corporation’s $1,
025,000 damage suit against the
CIO longshoremen’s union.
George Schmidt, vice president
and general manager of Juneau
mills until it was taken over by
the Spruce corporation in 1947,
was on the stand when the trial
was recessed until today. The one
day recess was taken because an
Alaska Steamship company case
against the Territorial tax com
missioner was scheduled in the
I
'court yesterday.
Schmidt took the stand alter
I William Flint, president of the
Juneau local of the international
woodworkers (CIO), had held it
for nearly six hours.
Flint testified of attempted arbi

union and the international long
shoremen and warehousemen’s
union (also CIO) over loading of
lumber barges provided the long
shoremen would remove their pic
I ket line.
The corporation suit against the
longshoremen’s union was filed as
a result of more than a year’s clo
sure of the mill by its picketing.
The dispute is a jurisdictional one
between the the CIO unions and
the national labor relations board
has ruled against the longshore
ment and ordered them to remove
the pickets.
Flint said the woodworkers
agree to give the ILWU supervi
sion on boats while the wood
workers kept jurisdiction on the
dock. He said the longshoremen
insisted on working the lumber
slings on both ships and barges.
An earlier witness was Glen
Kirkman, woodworkers union
president at the time it contracted
for barge loading. Kirkman said
only barges were to be loaded; no
ships gear was to be touched by
the woodworkers.
Joseph Francis, mill employee,
told of meetings between the two
unions up to the time arbitration
failed and the longshoremen’s pic
keting began.
Schmidt, the former mill execu
tive, was questioned about log

fishing near by.
With some difficulty she was
rescued from her icy trap where
she was almost paralyzed with the
cold, and brought to town.
