TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

As l have been working in Gamer
les for the past six years in many diff
ferent capacities and my first oppor-
tun.ty to visit Southeastern Alaska
canneries, | find that there is about
25@e or 500 Of the employees are fail
ing to do their duty, claiming that
everything they do the Superintend-
ent or someone else gets credit for it.
Naturally the Superintendent gets
credit but not for the work the en-
ployees do but for employing the best
men.
When your time expires you are en-
tilted TO recommendation and will
need one in applying for a position
at another cannery and the work you
do at the place you are employed this
season will be instrumental in getting
you better position next season, that
is II you do your work as you should
dc 4.
BY doing your work we'll you are
helping the Government and helping
to feed the boys at the front, who are
fighting for us. and thus help to win

WATCHMEN ON
TRAP CAUGHT
SELLING FISH
Diamond Brothers Arrested for
Buying Stolen Fish

Herman Brandes, German alien,
and Louis Bitch, Austrian citizen, who
have been employed as watchmen by
]. l.. Smiley e Company, on the trap
located at Bostwick Inlet, about II
miles south of Ketchikan, were caught
selling fish redhanded by Mr. Perry
Jenkins, superintendent of Smiley's
cannery, last Saturday evening.
Mr. Jenkins brought the men to town
and turned them over to the authori-
ties, who pursuaded the men to dis
close the identity of the fish buyers,
resulting in the arrest of Harry and
Joe Diamond, ON a charge of receiving
stolen goods. The Diamond brothers
were released upon furnishing $500
bail each, while the two alien watch
men are still in the Federal Jail await
ing preliminary hearing before the
U. S. Commissioner
According to Mr.. Jenkins, the
watchmen admit that they had been
selling fish right along, but that this
was the first time they had had deal
ings with the Diamond brothers The
practice is common all along the dis
trict and is a serious menace to the
interests of the companies, who are
made to pay for their own fish, be-
sides maintaining the traps, Mr.. Jen
kins reports, and it is hoped that the
guilty parties in this instance will be
made examples of as a warming to the
rest of the pirates
