EMPLOYMENT AT CANNERIES
 ATTACKED BY GRAND JURY

CORDOvA, Alaska, Nov. 24.- The grand jury report brought here from Valdez by United Dis trict Attorney F. H. Foster bitterly attacks the Boring Sea and Alaska Peninsula canneries for bringing employees north of 'such char acter as to cause a greater part of the violent crimes in the Territory.
 The report condemns the practice of having men paroled in jails and reformatories for the salmon season. The report says the lawlessness charged by Washington off icials against bona fide residents of the Territory is mainly due to the can- neries who bring "the scum of the earth, polyglot of criminals into Alaska annually.
 The report says that one-half of the business before the Grand Jury was investigating crimes perpe- petrated by the "cannery element" and the grand jury advocate a rig i'd examination of cannery employ ees barring dope addicts, degener- ates and criminals.
 The jury criticised the Bristol Bay Commissioners who put bail so small on some of the felony de- fendants that they did not appear. The jury advocated that the United States Marshal be provided with a skilled criminal investigator to prevent delay and causing loss of evidence in remote districts.
 The grand jury urged the ap- pointment of Commissioner and United States Deputy Marshal at Kenai where numerous crimes have been committed. mere IS popula- tion there of over 800 there and no officers.
 The grand jury suggested that the Territorial Legislature pass laws providing a severe punishment for habitual criminals and deporta- tion of alien criminals Other rec concentrations were for the station ing of Coast Guard cutter near Prince William Sound for the pur- pose of aiding distressed vessels and passing a law requiring laborers be paid by currency or checks on Alas ka banks.

cannery Merger Fails Go Through

The S10,000, 900 cannery merger involving y canneries in South astern Alaska, has been abandoned according to advice received yes terday by w. F. Scholtlan and E. D. Skinner. principal supporter of the project. says the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 In his communication to Mir. Schlotlan, Mir. Skinner said that it had proven impossible to get enough canneymen united on the proposition, and it was therefore necessary to abandon the plan.
 While the merger would undoubt- edly have had a stabilizing effect on the industry, it would not have resulted in any benefit for Ketchi- kan and probably just the reverse. local cannerymen who were inter viewed on the subject declard.
 Whether the plan to merge was abandoned entirely Mir Schlothan was not informed, and it may be possible that another attempt will be made in future years.

CONFERENCE VITAL,
SAYS LABOR CHIEF
Green Declares A. F. of L.
Would Far Rather Co-0pe-
rate Than Call a Strike.
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 21-
| Modern organized labor prefers the
| conference table to the strike field"
said William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor. in an
! address at the Harvard Union last
night.
Between capital and labor" he
said. there is an interdependence so
fixed and irrevocable as to make COM
plete success attainable only through
understanding and cooperation. 1t
is to these problems of industrial CO.
operation and understanding that
modern trade unionism is addressing
itself - The coniicts which arise
in industry, and which in many in
stances become bitter and violent. are
directly traceable to a fragrant disre
gard or denial of the common rights
of either employers or employees.
1T is not disagreement over
wages which causes the most bitter
industrial conflicts. 1t is the denial
of the workers right to organize and
to bargain collectively which causes
strife, strikes and in some instances
industrial warfare.
Rights of All Must BE Guarded.
The assurance of complete sue
cess through the medium of collect
i've bargaining must be predicated
upon a mutually of interest in in
dustry. A positive understanding
must be reached providing for a
proper regard and a just recognition
of the rights of all concerned. Inas-
much as collective bargaining is
based and founded upon group ac-
ton, the union of the workers must
be unreservedly recognized. In SINH
lar fashion the right of employers to
control, direct and manage industry
and to receive q fair return upon in
vested capital must be willingly con-
ceded.
The best answer which can be
made to those who challenge the
workability of collective bargaining
is the fact that it has been working
successfully in many industries and
in many fields of employment.
More and more organized labor is
coming to believe that it's best inter
ests are promoted through concord
rather tnan by conflict. 1t prefers
the conference table to the strike
field
"Organized labor recognizes and
appreciates the value and Importance
of education. Through education
which will bring wisdom to the for
mutations of the institutions of the
future labor seeks deliverance from
the limitations of existing condi-
tions. This does not mean that labor
Will suddenly discharge its militant
tactics and conditions. Until employ
erS and management are better edu-
Gated labor will be forced to main
tain defensive and aggressive poll
cies.'
