INJUNCTION
DENIED, CIO
UNION BEEF
ILWU Unsuccessful in Halt
ing Salmon Agreement
on Bristol Bay
ANCHORAGE Alaska. July 18—
Federal Judge Anthony J. Di
mond denied a request by two CIO
unions yesterday for a temporary
injunction against another CIO fac
tion in the intra-union fight for
control of Bristol Bay Eskimo can
nery workers.
The temporary injunction had
been asked until a federal court
hearing on a request for a perma
nent injunction.
The action was brought by the
CIO International Longshoremen's
and Warehousemen’s Union and
the CIO International Fishermen
and Allied Workers of America
which recently merged with the
ILWU.
They sought an injunction tr
nullify the contract between the
Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., and
the faction that broke away from
Local 46, IFAWA, and obtained a
new charter from the national CIO
The IFAWA was represented in
the court proceedings, started last
Thursday, by Joe Nashoalook, na
tive leader of the Local 46 faction
remaining affiliated with the
IFAWA-Longshoremen.
Also named in the suit were
the CIO Alaska Fishermen’s Union
and Oscar Anderson, its secretary
treasurer. They were charged with
conspiracy to "break up” the Nasho
alook-Ied Local 46.
The AFU is affiliated with the
IFAWA but is conducting a refer
endum on whether to disaffiliate.
PRICES GOING UP;
SENATORS PROMISE
TO MAKE INQUIRY
(By Associated Press!
Here’s a good way to get a line
on what to expect in prices: Watct
the prices buyers are willing to pay
for future delivery.
The commodities involved are raw
materials from which consumer
goods are made or processed.
Futures prices today were up
sharply for cotton, w’ool, cocoa,
coffee, rubber and raw hides. On
many of the markets where these
commodities are traded, limits are
set on the price change permitted
in a single day. Yesterday prices
Jumped so sharply that they bumped
against many of these limits.
The Associated Press index of
wholesale commodity prices indi
cates yesterday’s over-all increase
was the sharpest since the Korean
war broke out. And it brought the
general price average to the highest
point since October, 1948.
Senator are going to look into the
problem of rising prices. Chairman
Burnet Maybank of the Banking
Committee says the group will start
an inquiry Thursday into what he
calls the unreasonable rise in prices
since the start of the Korean con
flict.
Maybank’s announcement to the
Senate came after Republican Sen
ator Wayne Morse of Oregon
charged domestic meat packers
with profiteering and imposing out
rageous prices.

COASTWISE LINE
SHIPS TO JUNEAU
Portland Chamber Makes
Strong Bid for Alaska
Business While on Tour
*
The Coastwise Line, large ship
ping company now operating six
vessels in the northern trade, will
soon have something definite to say
about entering the Southeast Alaska
picture, it was announced last night
at a dinner held by the Alaska Com
mittee of the Portland C number of
Commerce.
The firn: ,.ow runs four freighters
to the Westward, and two on the
Ocean Falls route, out of Portland,
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The announcement, made by Ben
H. Parkinson, vice-president and
general manager of the concern,
blossomed out in conjunction with
a bid by the City of Roses to get a
share of Alaska’s business nov. held
tightly by Seattle.
The Civil Aeronautics Board came
in for a withering fire by one Port
lander who criticized the “regi
mentation” put upon airlines serv
ing the north, by saying the Seattle
“corner” on this type of service
must be broken, with Portland al
lowed to share in service here.
The 16 Chamber of Commerce
members and business officials were
welcomed by Juneau chamber of
ficers, who spoke on tourist trade,
industrial possibilities near Juneau,
and air service.
The Coastwise Line official de
scribed the two runs his company
is now' operating as “sick trades”—
they have capacity loads on their
10,000 deadweight ton ships going
northward to Seward and nearby
ports, but come south empty.
Simultaneously, two go southward
out of Ocean Falls loaded down, blit
come north empty.
“But we can combine two sick
trades,” he said, "and make a
healthy one.” The firm would not
enter the passengers field, he said.
“We don’t serve all of Alaska,”
he said, “but we serve Alaska from
all ports along the Pacific Coast.”
He declared he had talked with
numerous big customers and ship
pers in Juneau and other points in
the Panhandle and that "something
definite” would be announced soon
concerning his line’s coming in to
the area.
Marshall Dana, editorial writer
for The Oregon Journal, wants to
, see a coordinated travel system of
rail, water, highway and air, to
extend beyond Seattle. I
“In fact,” he said, “we’ve just
awakened to the fact that there is
. an Alaska.”
George M. Henderson, assistant
vice-president of the First National
Bank of Portland, here to discuss
I credit matters with Juneau busi
ness men in an effort to get trade
| rolling here from the Columbia river
metropolis, summed up his short
; talk with:
"We frankly want your business.”

The full committee, at what was j
described as one of the stormiest

TWO SPEECHES BY
OREGON EDITOR
| FOR ROTARY CLUB
With war blazing in one of the
three hot spots he predicted, Mar
hall Dana. Oregon editor, sees the
picture much as he did when he
warned, "Korea is the headache of
the Far East. War can start there
any time."
That prediction was on. his re
i turn from a 75,000-mile air trip
which included a Defense Depart
ment assignment to study Japan
j and Korea. His audience today, the
Juneau Rotary Club, was given the
impression that his estimate of the
strategic importance of Korea had
been met with certain unbelief in
. official circles.
Dana, editorial page editor of The
Oregon Journal, named Berlin and
1 Jerusalem as the other two war
breeders.
"Alaska is not a war breeder,” he
said, “but it is vital to war defense.
Jerusalem lies on the ancient cara
van route of trade and strategy. The
barbed wire around Israeli is sym
bolic—barbed wire enclosing a new
little national island surrounded by
Arabs.
"We are at war with Russia,” he
said boldly. “Although it is not yet
called that, Russia is as implacable
in her determination to vanquish
the United States as though it
were.
"Russia has determined on this
kind of strategy—to preserve the
homeland intact: virile, vital, pro
ductive, and to reach out for more
and more satellites or policed states.
These, she trains, arms, directs,
then pushes out. She lets the stooge
nations dri her work, hoping to force
ihe United States to spread itself
all over the world (which we are.
doing) so that this nation *WiM be
easy to conauer.”
The visiting editor, a dynamo of
words and ideas, gave brief sketches
of the four great personalities he
had met in the Orient—Gen. Doug
las MacArthur, Gen. Chaing Kai
shek (“perforce including Mme.
Chiang"), President Rohas (of the
Philippines, since deceased, and
President Rhee of whom Dana said,
“He is the man of the hour for
Korea, but a stronger man will be
needed to lead Korea to victory.”
“Koreans,” he said, “do not have
the concept of freedom, nor of
Communism, either, except in
oNrth Korea, where the Russians
have trained and armed 200,000
men.”
Dana’s thoughtful comments on
the war situation came as a 20
minute aftermath of his scheduled
talk to Rotarians as representative
of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce.
Of the C. of C. visitors, Dana
said, "The purpose of these visit
ing firemen is to look for business,
although it means more than that
—we want to expand and develop
new business. We are interested

n the rather indirect promises of
B. H. Parkinson of the Coastwise
line, to extend its service to Ju
neau and Southeast Alaska.
“Another important matter is ex
ension of direct air service from
Portland to Juneau over the Seattle
ron curtain.”
Dana discussed the growth of
’ortland into a metropolis of more
han 500,000 population, her ship
building capaci'y and the "dynamic
mlivenment” due to hydro-electric
power developments.
At the Rotary Club weekly lun
cheon in the Baranof Gold Room,
discussion of club activities cen
tered in the Soap Box Derby Sun
day afternoon at 2:30 p.m. This
is jointly sponsored by The Daily
Alaska Empire and the Rotary Club.
Elton Engstrom asked Rotarians
to send their individual Derby
checks to him, Box 723, made out

Portland, Earl W. Lutz of Longview
and a Mr. Robinson, as well as
four Florida tourists who caught
the Rotary luncheon during the
