AFU BALLOTS
CHALLENGED,
THROWN GUT
Secretary Oscar Anderson
Claims Action Clears
Him of Charges
SEATTLE, Teb. 12 —(jp)— A ref
erendum vote of 5.0C0 members of
the Alaska Fishermen’s Union (In
dependent! on charges against Os
car Anderson, Secretary-Treasurer,
has been thrown out. union spokes
men announced.
A motion to nullify the vote
carried without opposition at a
meeting in the union’s Seattle
branch headquarters.
A dispute immediately arose be
tween Anderson’s faction and left
wing forces in the union as to what
prompted l he nullification.
The referendum voting was re
ported to be close, with the out
come hin'ii :' on billots challenged
in both Ala lea and West Coast
branches.
"The rt ierendum was disqualified
bcca.i e it was predicated on false
charges and was illegal,” Anderson
said. "I had threatened to bring
acton in court unless something
was done to clear me.”
Anderson asserted that the effect
of the action was to clear him of J
charges brought by Oscar Erick
son, union poit agent in Ketchi
kan. The charges were that Ander
son had failed to carry cut man
dates of the membership.
Taking an opposite view of the
action, the trial committee that
heard the charges against Ander
son issued the following statement:
"The motion adopted Friday
night . . . did not in any -way clear
Anderson of the charges he was
found guilty of by the trial com
mittee. The motion was adopted
because of discrepancies in the
vote cast in Alaska.”
The statement was signed by
Hans Hansen, Jack Woods, Dannj
Dygart and Ed Megaard.
The purpose of the referendum
was to ratify or reject a trial
committee report finding Anderson
guilty. A dispute arose over ballots
from all branches in Alaska and
particularly the Dillingham branch
where 1,400 Bristol Bay fishermen
have voted to leave the AFU.
There also were challenged ballots
in Washington, Oregon and Calif
nia.
Anderson said the action would
in no way affect his decision an
nounced earlier to withdraw as a
candidate for reelection. He will
retire as secretary-treasurer April
5 after eight years in the office.
One of the principal charges
against Anderson was that he re
fused to order other members of
the union to respect picket lines
when seiners called a strike last
year in Ketchikan 33 days before
opening of the fishing season.
