Wednesday due to an inter-union
dispute over hiring dock foremen.
Pickets started marching a week
ago in efforts to compel all em
ployers to hire all dock foremen
through the AFL International

stead of foremen who have set up
their own independent union.

Anchorage wired the Portland
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
that “businessmen here are re
solved to find more reliable ship
ping schedules.” The telegram
asked the Portland Chamber to
help in forming long-range plans
