FAIRBANKS, (JP)—A Glenn Al
len highway project at Tok Junc
tion was tide up Monday when
AFL teamsters “went fishing” as
the outgrowth of a dispute with a
Portland, Ore., construction firm
over hiring of workers.
George Cease, business agent of
teamsters’ Local A-183, said in a
telephone conversation from Tok
the “fishing expedition” halted
delivery of construction equip
ment earmarked for Babler &
Rogers Bros., of Portland.
Cease accused the company of
hiring men outside of Alaska in
violation of a contract between the
union and the Associated General
Contractors, of which Babler &
Rogers is a member.
He said the union-association
contract stipulates that Alaskan
residents be given .job priorities,

; ment bureau in Juneau had noti
fied the Portland company men
were available in Alaska for the
j project.
Company officials were not im
