OFF TO A POOR START
Section 2, Article 5 of the General Labor Provisions
Code of Fair Competition for the Canned Salmon Industry
as approved May 15, 1934, NRA reads as follows:
“Employees shall have the right to organize and bargain
collectively through representatives of thier own choosing
and shall be free from the interference, restraint, or coercion
of employers bf labor, or their agents in the designation oi
such representatives or in self-organization or in other con
certed activities for the purpose of collective bargaining oi
other mutual aid or protection.”
Section Three of the same article says:
“No employee and no one seeking employment shall be
required as a condition of employment to join any company
union or to refrain from joining- organizing, or assisting a
labor organization of his own choosing.”
As we understand the present Seldovia deadlock be
tween the salmon packers and the Seldovia branch of the
Alaska Resident Fishermen's Union- the union insists on a
closed shop and demand a price for fish far in excess to what
the packers claim they can pay.
According to the NRA code the Seldovia union is in
error in demanding a closed shop, and as regards the price
of fish, this may be, or may not be settled by arbitration. If
not, Seldovia plants will not operate this season. They are
willing to be fair in the matter but do not intend to operate
at a loss. Stories of fabulous profits may be discounted
100 per cent.
It is regrettable to think that there is a possibility of
about 200 Seldovians being thrown out of seasonal employ
ment; that $100,000 in revenues generally accruing to indi
viduals and business may not be available because of this
controversy over a price for salmon.
We are also informed that the majority of the fisher
men interested favor the packers schedule. With regard to
cannery wages the packers have been paying 50 cts and
75 cts an hour, more than what the NRA code calls for.
We are reminded of another section of the code which
says: “The Code is not designed to and will not eliminate
or oppose small enterprises and will not operate to discrim
inate against them.”
And it must be remembered by union members that
Seldovia salmon canneries, relatively speaking, are not large
enterprises, but small canneries —Seward Gateway.

Scientist Poland
Is Coming North
Study Geography
I)r. J. Stefan Jarosz of University
of Cracow to Visit Three Is
lands in Southeast Alaska
A solo exploration of three islands
in Southeast Alaskan waters will be
made early this summer by Dr. Stef
an Jarosz of the Geographic Insti
tute of the University of Cracow,
Poland, who arrived in New York
recently, according to mail advic
es received from New York by the
Fairbanks News-Miner.
Dr. Jarosz will go alone to the
islands of Kosciuszko, Jaremba and
Wojewodzki, all near Wrangell, for
geographic and botanic research,
and will concentrate on the height
limits and spruce forests in compar
ison with those in the Rocky Moun
tains and the Cascade Range. He,
will spend five months in explora
tion.
The three Alaskan islands were
chosen beeause they were named af
ter Polish explorers, Captain Jarem
ba having founded the city of Wran
gell, and the Polish geographers are
anxious to point out the contribu
tions of Polish explorers to Ameri
can expansion.
Dr. Jarosz will spend the next
two months touring the United Stat
es and showing Polish films before
geographic societies and travel clubs
featuring the folklore and customs
of the Poles. He intends to climb
Mt. Robson, the highest peak in the
Canadian Rockies. Five years ago
j lie spent 22 days in an attempt to
reach the top of Mount McKinley
in Alaska, although he did succeed
in climbing to the top of Mt. Rainier 1
in Washington.

Reversal Made
Walbridge Case
Involves $36,664
Recently the United States Cir
cuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit handed down a decision re
versing the judgment given in the
District Court for the Fourth Divi
sion at Fairbanks, Alaska, on May
1, 1933, in the case of Lester B. Wal
bridge against the New York Alaska
Gold Dredging Company, wherein it
was adjudged that the New York
Alaska Gold Dredging Company
should pay Mr. Walbridge $36,664.97
On the first trial of this case in
1928 the Court instructed a verdict
for Mr. Walbridge. That judgment
was reversed and upon the re-trial
in 1933 the case was submitted to
a jury under instructions which the
defendant, the New York Alaska
Gold Dredging Company, claimed
were erroneous and by reason of
which the second appeal was taken
and the reversal procured.
The attorneys for the New York
Alaska Gold Dredging Company
upon Appeal were Harry E. Pratt of
Fairbanks and Herman Weinberger
of San Francisco. The attorney for
Mr. Walbridge on appeal was John
L. McGinn.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
