LABOR LEADERS SEE
HOPE OF SETTLEMENT
IN 2 LOCAL STRIKES
Two strikes continued to tie up
construction jobs in Juneau today,
but labor leaders were hopeful that
meetings tonight would result in
settlements.
The strikes have been in progress
since a week ago today, and mem
bers of the Juneau Contractors and
Employers Association have been
hardest hit.
Three independent contractor;
today had signed the contract
which, according to Steve Feist,
business agent for the Teamsters
Union, Local 10. is in force through
out the Territory. He said that he
will meet w'ith representatives ol
the contractors' association tonigflt.
But the Construction and Gen
eral Laborers, Local 1203 <AFLi
will meet with both independent
contractors and members of the
association.
The laborers have been striking
against members of the associatioh
in an effort to have existing con
ditions recognized, according to T.
B. Erickson, executive secretary ol
the Alaska Federation of Labor.
They want a wage hike which
Erickson said, will bring their wages
to a level with those paid laborers
in Ketchikan and on the Menden
hall Apartment project here.
"We are seeking recognition of
a contract already accepted bj
some contractors here, and by con
tractors in Haines, Skagway, Pe
tersburg and Ketchikan,” he de
clared.
About 20 jobs have been affected
by the walkout of laborers, Erick
son said.
The teamsters pulled 12 drivers
off construction Jobs in this area
last Monday in protest to the prac
tice of employing truckdrivers as
laborers at laborers’ wages while
they are on the job as drivers, ac
cording to Feist.
The teamsters are also trying
for a signed working agreement
between the contractors and the
union, he said.

crowd into Juneau today to unload
their last catches from Area Three,

PROPOSED HUNTING
SEASON DATES GIVEN;
REGULATIONS LATER
WASHINGTON, July 10 — —
Secretary of the Interior Chapman
announced today proposed hunting
regulations for next fall for migra
tory game birds other than water
fowl.
Chapman said the waterfowl reg
ulations will not be issued until
August 26, about a month later
than usual.
He said this will give the Fish
and Wildlife Service more time to
analyze the latest information from
its biologists on the northern breed
ing grounds.
He said the proposed hunting
season for waterfowl and coot in
Alaska will open as follows:
Second and Fourth Judicial Di
visions, Sept. 1; Third Judicial Di
vision, except Kodiak-Afognak Is
land group. Sept. 7; First Judicial
Division and Kodiak-Afognak, Oct.
1.
The closing dates were not speci
fied. The openings in Alaska would
vary somewhat from last year’s
dates.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
emphasized that the proposed sea
sons are not final until President
Truman issues the regulations next
month.
