■Uver since 1942. when they were
fifst hired in numbers as a wartime
measure, there has been controver
sy about the employment of Alaska
Eskimos in the Bristol Bay salmon
canneries.
A number of teachers and mis
sionaries have asserted that the
cajnnery employment is bad for
the Eskimos. It takes the Eskimos
away from their homes, it is claim
tdf at a time when they ought to
be-putting up fish and making other
preparations for the winter.
Moreover, these same people say,
the wages earned in the canneries
are less valuable to the Eskimo fam
ilies than the foods they would b“
able to store during the summer il
they stayed at home, since the
money is often spent for unneces
sary commodities, including liquor.
On the other side of the picture,
Father Jules N. Convert, S. J., long
familiar withfcthe Eskimos of the
Hooper Bay area, believes the sum
mer cannery employment has been
of1 definite benefit to the Eskimos.
In a report on the situation a
couple of years ago, Father Convert
wrote that after the Hooper Bay
Eskimos began working in the can
neries "the local trend of excess of
death over birth was reversed. Since
previously so many babies died, I
feel pretty sure that the material
improvements realized with the
cannery payroll are the direct
caiise of this new trend."
To this statement Father Convert
added: “In Hooper Bay also, I have
noticed the good that came to the
individual characters as a result of
thair experiences on the Bay. Some
have acquired there an ambition to
iMjrove their knowledge of English
and their skills in order to event
ually get a better job; they are also
acquiring a new sense of responsi
bility and taste for work well done.”
In the present season on Bristol
Bay, the resident Eskimo cannery I
workers, along with other groups,!
wore caught between the battle lines
ci the Sailors Union and the Long
shoremen, both seeking jurisdiction
over fishing in the area. And, as so j
frequently happens, the bystanders |
were more injured than the com-1
ba bints.
Father Convert, who seems to
liaVe been in the thick of this
••'ItAytUCbaietiPi-iil light, wrote
' ‘ ■ < w ' '■ ■ a: ago.
Unionization, he said then, helps
I to undermine the Natives. "I won
: der,” he added, “how many Na
I tives understand at all what the
Unions are, except that through
j them they are going to get some
thing for nothing.”
Alaskans paid $17,393,930 in Fed
eral taxes during the fiscal year
ended June 30. 1950. Alaska's pro
| portionate share of the proposed
I budget for the coming fiscal year
would amount to $28,500,000. And
with taxes climbing the way they
are, perhaps Uncle Sam will haul
that much out of the Territory dur
ing the coming year.
Dam foolishness is what an As
toria fishing trade paper calls the
plan for constructing more dams
along the Columbia River.
Fisheries groups in Oregon and
Washington see in the proposed
dams an end to the Chinook sal
mon runs on the Columbia. And
since the Territorial Department of
Fisheries has demonstrated that a
great many of the salmon caught
by Alaska trailers come from the
Columbia, interest in the subject of
fisheries conservation on the Col
umbia has spread far from the riv
er itself.
"The Dam advocates,” says the
Astoria paper, “talk about forty,
fifty and even a hundred dams on
the Columbia and its great tribu
tary the Snake River. Such a pro
ject would leave the Columbia a
long series of semi-stagnant, warm
pools, through which no salmon
could live to make its way to spawn
ing w'aters.
“Not ail the fish ladders, all the
fish elevators, or all the hatcheries
ever conceived could keep the sal
mon runs on such a river.
“Fortunately there are clearer and
more unprejudiced minds which
vision the day when the needs for
cheap power will be met by the
harnessed atom. They see the facts
that point toward man's mastery
of the atom within a decade or
less.
"The dam building era is near
ing its end. We hope the fanatical
dam advocates will be forced to give
up before they fill the river with
useless dams and destroy entirely
the finest run of salmon that ever j
existed”
August 24tli will be the deadline
for filing protests against the most
Fishing Gets
Underway
Fishing in Southeast Alaska got
I underway Monday as predicted by
Peter Nielsen, secretary-treasurer
i of the Alaska Marine District Un
ion before he returned to his Sitka
headquarters at the end of the
: week.
j Nielsen said the fishermen in his
[ organization would supply canner
ies with fish this season. His union
is a division of the Seafarers In
ternational Union of the American
Federation of Labor.
Nielsen, with Bill Peters, presi
dent of the MDU, was in Juneau
conferring with Kenneth Bowman,
AFL organizer in Alaska and Pete
Gilmore, Alaska Salmon Industry
representative here.
The MDU has two contracts
signed with the industry, one for
the seiners and one for cannery
workers. The MDU cannery work
ers union is the exclusive bargain
ing agency for canneries in this
area and with 600 members covers
all of Southeast Alaska, Nielsen
said.
Both Peters and Nielsen, whose
homes are in Sitka, are purse seine
fishermen.
Outside fishing for sockeye sal
mon began Monday and canning
operations on the outside will start
this week. The general canning sea
son in the Southeast district is
from August 6 to Sept. 3. Accord
ing to Nielsen, it is hoped that an
earlir.- opening will be considered.

severely damaged by a hailstorm
last night. The chunk apparently
was formed of hailstones.

Home from Korean
Balflefronl
Thn war in Korea is brought
close to home when one hears the
experiences of Corp! Kfi,lph M. Miel
ke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Miel
ke of Glacier Highway, home under
the army rotation plan after nini
months of battle.
Overseas since October 1949 when
he was transferred to Japan, Mielke
served on Hokkido, the northern
most island. There he was assigned
to the 31st Infantry Regiment, 7th
Infantry Division.
When the Korean war broke out
he took part in the Inchon landings
and later in the invasion of Iwon
in North Korea.
His group was trapped in the
Chosen Reservoir, but they were
evacuated to Hungnam.
The 7th Division then reorgan
ized and once more he crossed over
the 38th parallel on the central
front.
Corporal Mielke was one of 29
men out of 197 In his company—
including some Republic of Korea
troups—who survived. During the
engagement, all officers in this
headquarters company were lost.
Young Mielke enlisted in Janu
ary 1949, took his basic training at
Camp Breckenridge, Ky., and was
then stationed at Camp Hood, Tex
as with the 2nd Armored Division.
He served there for seven months
until his transfer to Japan.
His furlough in Juneau will end
July 29, then young Mielke who is
enjoying his vacation at home vis
iting his family and friends will
report to Fort Lewis for reassign
ment.

( lub Women Taken
On ’Trip' to Korea
A trip to pre-war Korea was given
n:embers of the Business and Bro
il jonal Women’.' club Monday by
Vr T. E. Rcber.s, in Alaska with
l.cr husband Col. Roberts, selective
ervice representative here on nr.
auditing assignment.
At the club luncheon meeting in
the Baranof Terrace, Mrs. Roberts
was introduced by Mrs. John Mc
Cormick and found a former friend
in club President Hallene Price
whose former home was in Missouri,
home state of the Roberts.
One of the 188 Army wives whe
were the first group to go to Korea
to join their husbands in 1946, Mrs.
Roberts told of 13 months in that
land — an experience she “would not
have missed for a million dollars
: but would not go through again fer
another million.”
The people of South Korea arc
lovely people,” she said. They arc
underprivileged and so poor that one
wants to help — but it Is almost
impossible to provide any real help
j in a city like Seoul where a mil
lion and a half people live in an
area of,four square miles — “liter
■ ally on top of one another.”
She told of the 12-room block
long house in which she and Col.
Roberts lived, condemned because
of lack of facilities, and later oc
cupied by 96 adult Koreans and nu
merous children.
It was difficult for the Koreans
to realize that the Americans had
not come to take over their gov
ernment, according to Mrs. Roberts.
"That is what the Russians did in
North Korea where in a few month1
the Russians had trained over 500,
000 Communists.”
Life under the Russians is diffi
! cult for a free people to believe
j Mrs. Roberts said, as she told of the
I imprisonment and torture of an
! anti-Communist North Korean who
| voted against the one-party Com
j munist ticket at the first election
in North Korea.
Because of the constant threat of
imprisonment and torture many of
the North Koreans are said to be
like an apple —"red outside and
white inside,” Mrs. Roberts said.
Ten below zero weather was not
unusual in winter, and the poverty
of the people — many of them ref
ugees coming across the border from
the north — was heart-breaking
The condition of children, shivering
in winter, without clothing and with
only papers or rags for covering was
difficult for the Americans to ac
cept.
Yet children attended schools in
unhcated buildings, shivered as thcj
learned their abacus, and mother.'
broke ice in frozen streams to wash
clothes without soap. Poor health
has resulted in an average age foi
a man to reach of 38 and, of wo
men, 41.
Fascinating costumes — women’s
styles have not changed for hun
dreds of years — were described bj
Mrs. Roberts. Primitive methods ol
washing, ironing and the difficul
ties encountered by the American
wives in housekeeping when the
household appliances we take, for
granted were not available.
Mrs. Roberts told of the Christ
mas party she gave for 56 employes
in her husband’s office. There was
a Christmas tree, some small gift
for everyone. "Though all were
Christians, I think this was their
first experience of western ‘Christ
mas spirit’ and it was the first
time the wives had ever broken
Korean custom and eaten with their
husbands,” she said.
The Roberts brought back with
them six Korean girls to be edu
cated in the United States. Three
are still in this country, Mrs. Rob
erts said, two married and returned
to Korea and one, too homesick to
remain, returned home.
Mrs. Roberts, active in Democratic
party politics in her home state, wns
a candidate for the Missouri state
Senate to replace her husband when
he entered the service in 1940.
Guests at the meeting Monday
were Helen Roff, Helen Stutte
Mungie Rudolph, Catherine Knox
and Dolores Pidgeon.
Plans for an all-day club outing
by boat were discussed for early
August and a meeting of the pro
gram coordination committee was
announced for July 25 at the apart
ment of Mrs. Edna Lomen.
