ALASKA
(Continued from page 1)
Alaska grows so will we. So on
July 1st when we found that we
were out on a limb wheg the
Maritime Commission refused to
consider the intent of the Congress
and which we fully expected
would be carried out we took im
mediate steps to return to suc
cessful private operation. The law
would have permitted us until (
March 1, 1949. You can readily see
the predicament we were in. Our |
plans are slowly materializing. As
you know we are the oldest com
pany in Alaska and have always
served all of Alaska. Our aim is
to continue to serve the major
ports and the lesser ports, the
cannery ports and the coastal
mining towns, the villages and the
outposts, large and small, with
service that we can be proud of.
In the minds of some the prob
lem is, shall it be service to the
cream producing centers only and
forget the small communities. Or
shall it be all of Alaska. Our mis
sion has been all of Alaska and
we intend to continue so.
Our ships personnel has been
very fine and have produced ef
ficiently and effectively. Some of
the longshoremen's gangs in Se
attle have been responsible for
slow downs which have resulted
in delays for our ships.
We are glad to be hack under
private operation, the type of en
terprise (hat has made America
the most successful country in the
world- Our future hopes are based
on the complete cooperation of all
concerned. We ask only for the
release of unnecessary restrictions
upon us. We are naturally anxious
for the improvement of industrial
relations through equitable legisla
tion and mutual understanding.
The true objectives of labor and
capital are identical and we should
get together to understand the
facts. Couldn’t we have a united
harmonious citizenry moving to
understand the facts. Couldn’t we
have a united harmonious citizen
ry moving forward to still greater
achievement, not a divided citizen
ry wasting their energy and sub
stance on industrial and' other
strife and maybe drifting toward
a regimented economy and medi
ocrity for everybody?

and too extended for effective
tramping.
For instance, a ship will bring
a cargo of Russian manganese
from the Black sea to Baltimore.
Instead of returning to the
Black sea, the ship will wander
up and down the U. S. eastern
seaboard picking up a little car
go here, a little more there, then
go through the Canal to the Pac
ific coast to finish loading. From
the Pacific coast the ship will de
part for Vladivostok.
TRAINING SAILORS
Such irregular and uneconomic
operations have led to the suspi
cion that the ships are used to
train naval personnel, as well as
merchant seamen to man the ves
sels planned under the Soviet
Union’s huge shipbuilding pro
gram.

Are Confiscated
At least 25 of the largest canneries in
Alaska will close if salmon traps are
abolished. These canneries need trap
can ght salmon to continue operations.
Destroy salmon traps by your vote next
October and you sign the death warrant
for these canneries—throwing thousands
of fishermen and cannery workers out
of jobs. Don’t cripple the Territory’s
largest industry!
VOTE TO
CONTINUE TRAPS!
Here's why YOU Should
VOTE to CONTINUE
TRAPS:
1. Trap* mean jobs—not just for 45 days but for
six to nine months for approximately 4,000
people, mostly Alaskans.
2. Traps are the best means of conserving
Alaska's salmon.
3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory
would have to lesy additional taxes on all
other Alaska businesses and individuals.
4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can
neries to operate efficiently. Without traps.
at least 25 large canneries would close dow n
because they would be stripped of their de
pendable supply of salmon—thousands of men
would lose their jobs.
5. Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscate
them and you undermine the Territory’s sta
bility. An unstable region cannot develop a
diversified economy.
6. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry
that they make it possibe for packers to pay
fishermen maximum prices. Confiscate traps
and you cut down these earnings. Nobody
gains—everyone loses.
7. Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world
leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con
fiscate them and you so weaken America’s
position that it will be possible for Russia,
utilizing U. S. built floating canneries, to
seize this prize in world trade.
8. Traps represent large investments in venture
capital. Confiscate them and you discourage
other industries from investing in Alaska’s
future.
9. Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate
them and you establish a gear monopoly in
the catching of salmon.
10. Traps, seines and gill nets — ALL THREE
TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to
maintain Alaska’s canned salmon pack. Vary
ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds
make it economically feasible to fish certain
areas to full advantage only by means of traps.
