Fishermen’s Suit |
For T ransportation
Refunds Denied
SEATTLE, </P)—Federal Judge |
John C. Bowen ruled Saturday
against 35 members of the Alaska |
fishermen’s union who sought re-1
funds on transportation to Alaska
totaling $2,200.
The union sued on behalt of its
members and charged that al
though four canneries in the suit
paid first class passage to Bristol
Bay and return, in adherence to j
the union-cannery contract, the1
men were actually given steerage
accomodations.
The suit asked the men be given
the difference between first class
and steerage passage fares.
The action was based on trans
portation bought for the fishermen
during the summer of 1946. It
named the United States, the Alas
ka Steamship company and the
canneries as respondents.
Testimony during the trial was
given to the effect that the quar
ters of the fishermen were the
same as those given officer per

With the collection and deposit
of $1,354,000 in mid-November,
internal revenue collections this
year for the Washington-Alaska
district have passed the half-bil
lion mark, according to collector
Clark Squire.
The revenue total is $500,882,046
as compared with $471,052,896 for,
the corresponding period last year.
This is a gain of $29,829,000, or
6 3 per cent.
Income taxes alone total $259,
604,’08, an increase of $23,124,722,
or 9.8 per cent, over 1947. The re
maining $241,277,000 represents
collections of withholding tax, em
ployment tax and miscellaneous
taxes.

Judge Bowen ruled that the
claim on the part of the libelants
didn’t exist, because, as brought
out in testimony, a union agent
had inspected the quarters and au
throized their use. He also said
the action was not commenced
within a proper time limit.
AFL-SUP Appeals
NLRB Ruling
SEATTLE, i/P) — The sailors
union of the Pacific *AFL.) con
tended Saturday that 75 per cent
of the employees in the stewards'
departments of ships of the Alaska
Steamship company want 1o be
represented by the union.
The SUP made the contention
in appealing from a ruling by Thor
mas P. Graham, Jr., regional di
rector of the national labor rela
tions board, in which he dismissed
the union’s petition for an election.
It asked a hearing on the issue.
The stewards are now represent
ed by the CTO marine cooks and
stewards union. Graham held that,
the Stewards do not constitute an
appropriate bargaining unit. He
said the Alaska firm is a member
of the Pacific American shipown
ers’ association, which deals with
unions on a coast-wise basis.
The appeal, sent to Washington
today, said that because of the
dependency of Alaska on water
transportation, Alaska shipping
should be able to negotiate agree
ments apart from those reached on
a coast-wise basis.
