ALASKA CANNERIES
HEAVILY SCORE D
Reported Drug Addicts and Per.
sons With Social Diseases
Work in Industry

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. 81.
(By the Associated Press. Legs
lation compelling rigid eXaminaticl
OF employees to be sent to Alaska
for the salmon canning season was
recommended in federal grand
jury report made recently to Judge
+. E. Richie at Valdez, Alaska.
The report recommended that pros
pective employees should be exam
ined at the port of debarkation to
ascertain if any are drug addicts or
afflicted with communicable dis
eases.
The report state that the use and
sale of narcotis during the canning
season at Bristol Bay. Alaska, IS
rampant; that cannery workers SUI
fering from social diseases in ag-
Gravated form were permitted to
work in packing fish; that degener-
acy was in evidence and quite com.
mon; that the carrying of revolvers
was general, resulting in crimes
and violence
In blanket Indictment of tire
class of employees imported each
season for cannery work, the grand
jury reported that ex-convicts and
narcotic addicts offer the most Sc
Iious problem affecting the salmon
Industry. The grand jury report
said. in part:
IL Many of these matters and con
bditions demand legal action ana
prosecution, but this grand jury
did not convene until after the
cannefy crews had departed from
the fishing fields.
We recommend that legislation
be enacted to require canneries and
contractors to furnish their employ
es with sufficient supply of whole
some food and sanitary living quar-
ters during their labors; that the
Alaska legislature enact such laws
as will compel canneries and can
uery contractors to pay their en-
ployes in money at least once a
month; we further recommend leg
islation that will require canneries
hiring men in the states snd bring
ing them to Alaska to return such
employees to the port of departure
in the states, as numbers of men
are left penniless in Alaska
by these companies with no ade-
quate provision for their support
and transportation outside
