('. H. Packard, a former Cordova j
newspaper man. who Is the Daily *
Times special correspondent at An
chorage, has been elected president of
the Alaska l.abor Union at that place,
whose membership now exceeds 1,800.
President John Sutherland, wdiose
resignation several weeks ago the
union declined to accept, and tabled
temporarily, and who lias successfully
piloted the organization through the
most critical period of its existence,
requested that Immediate action be
taken on the resignation and his suc
1 cessor be elected, as he would not be
present at future meetings, because
of business reasons. The resignation
was accepted. Several candidates
were named, but all withdrew before
0
a vote was taken in favor of Mr. Pack
j ard, who was elected by acclamation.
I Mr. Packard has been one of the ac
I tive workers for the union since its
start, and is a Washington state pio
I neer in the movement to better the
| condition of those who toil.
There were about 700 present at the
meeting. Considerable impatience
was evident of what to some seemed
an unnecessary delay in securing the
desired raise in wages, but the lire
vailing sentiment was in favor of giv- i
ing the arbitration and conciliation
board ample time to investigate and
report, as the great majority of good
for Anchorage and the whole of Alas-'
ka may be accomplished by cool, care i
fill and deliberate action, while great
I evil might otherwise be the result.
"The boys feel that they have the i
unanimous support of all classes of!
| the people in this vicinity, and they!
jure not disposed to be dictatorial or
j to nullify the good already accom- j
Iplished and by hasty action endanger,
Jthe future of the country," said a|
j prominent member.
