NEW OFFICERS Of
THE LABOR UNION
One reason for the small vote ot
less than 800 out of a membership
of 8,200 in the Alaska Labor t'nion,
at Monday’s election, as explained
by Delegate Jack Sutherland, is that
the men up the line were only slight
ly acquainted with the nominees and
preferred to "leave it to the boys in
the town.” Many of the ballots re
turned showed that the voters ex
pressed choice for only two or three
of the twenty-one whose names ap
peared on the ballot. There was ap»
parenlly no rivalry for any of ttfe
offices, except possibly that of presi
dent. and when nominations were
made at the preceding meetings of
the union difficulty was experienced
j in finding candidates.
For president, Russel Cole of the
longshoremen defeated E. A. Allen
battgh. of the carpenters, almost ten
■ to one. Harry Kingsbury led Wm.
Mineburg almost two to one for vice
president. Harry Ringstad had no
opposition for secretary. The trus
tees elect are George Baker, J. W.
Murry and John Lund; Wm. Reim
ers and C. H. Packard being those
who "also ran.” M. Austlund had
r.o opposition for sergeant-at-arms.
Pete Malamed defeated J. E. Allen
baugh for conductor. Following are
chc executive committee, those witn
the highest votes being named first:
Swan Ohallstrop (the Young Vik
ing), Frank Willis, C. Collais, F.
Markle. Wm. Blau, Axel Nelson and
F. Radeau. the only nominee not
elected being Frank Healy. •
The election board was almost
seven hours canvassing the vote.
