ALASKA FISHERMEN'S
 UNION"

Peter E. Olson, secretary of the Alaska Fishermen's Union nas been actively supporting legislation that will hurt resi- dent labor and opposing other measures which would benefit Alaska la abor. MT. Olson is thought to be an Alaskan by the members of the House Commit tee on Marine and Fisheries ard his union, representative of Alas ka labor. Olson is a Franciscan. and does not even give evidence that he has ever been to Alaska and no one in these parts knows any thing about the Alaska FiShermen's Union" There is ar Alaska Troller's Association and an Alaska Seiner's Associa- : tlon-the So-called Alaska Fishermen's Union" is a union Of California fishermen who come to Alaska and operate for q couple of months and then return to the climes of sunr.y California.
 Yet, in spite of being Cali fornians, these men have the inlpertinence to go before the House Committee opposing tl2e wishes Of resident Alaskans. Every Alaskan organization should repudiate the so-called Alaska union.

PARTY LINE-UPS

For the past several months, we have stated that the primary line-upS are going to be some what different. Tn the past. there have been no contests in the Democratic primaries-irl this election the party is torn up several ways as to candidates and as to principle. The "Old Guard" versus the "Young Guard" the one demanding abolishment of the primary laws and the other demanding it's re- tention. The Republicans wllo would crow over this division should not. air their dirty linen. for the division is no different n that camp.
 The lineup this year is con- aervative reactiorary versus liberal progressive. The conser yative of both major parties are going to swing together in the hope of gathering control of all elective and appointivc offices the liberals are getting together with Joins girded for the battle of the century. Conservative Re- publicans and Conservative De- mocrats are making entangline alliances-the liberal Republl- cans and the liberal Democrats will stand together to prevent the continued rape of the Ter ritory.

SG-SO REPUBLICANS

Already the boss-ridden gang Of political whatnots of Juneau is becoming drunk with the ex- pectancy of it's future power. It never slurred it's Republican toe-kissers-in fact, on several occasions, it went out of it's way to ask Democrats to refrain from entering the Democratic primaries and to cross over into 5ne Republican in order that their power would not wane. But listen to this:
 About the only kind not dis coverable in the lists are Republicans who in the easily remembered past were professed Democrats" It is not so long since, the gang of pewees were rroud of the professional repub- lican democrats. Now that there is hope, on the part of the old convention gangsters that they can Wallow without interruption in the sWill of their party, they 1eDudiate the republicans who ir the easily remembered past were professed Democrats"

JUNEAU CHAMBER OPPOSES CONSERVATION MEASURE

The Juneau Chamber of Com : ,nerce has gone on record and is protesting H. R. 897, introduced 0y Delegate Wickersham-a bil. t0 prohibit the wanton waste And destruction of salmon and other food fish. The bill is ainl- cd to prevent the further des-: truction of the herring fisheries which are now in a sad state of depletion.
 The bill is in line with a reso- lution drafted by the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, endors- cd by the Ketchikan and Wran- sell Chambers and the conven- tion of the Grand Camp of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, last November in Yakutat. The text of the resolution was substan- lated by George Rounsfell, Jr special investigator for the U. $. Bureau of Fisheries.
 The action of the Juneau or 5anization is not only opposed 70 the other organizations, but its continued effort to negate he will of the majority is also l negation of the Territorial Democratic platform adopted at Fairbanks recently, We quote
 ne paragraph specifically re-
 e1ring to the herring fisheries:
 We recognize that the con- 'erVation of herring is vital to he halibut and salmon fishing industry and we are OPPOSED TO THE WANTON DESTRUC- TON of the herring supply"
 If President Allen Shattuck -;ses his influence, and if other Democrats oppose this bill, they show the insincerity of their adoption of the plank opposing Ire Wanton waste and destruc- ton Of the herring supply.
 The Chambers of Commerce cannot afford to neglect follow. ng up their resolution urging fhe protection of the herring fisheries. It is good business to protect that supply for the en- tire halibut and trolling indus r.es are dependent upon the Tupply of herring. Continued destruction of this fisheries means the ultimate destruction If the other fisheries. In other words, failure to support the Delegate on this bili is to con- init economic suicide.

THE COMMITTEE IS
 FUNCTIONING

Last convention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, a commit tee of three to lock into terri 5orial political affairs was ap- pointed. That committee is cont posed of President Frank G Johnson, Rake; Frank D. Price, Juneau; Louis F. Paul, Peters : burg. Not a few inquiries have come in to this office requesting information as to how the com llittee is functioning and what it is going to do.
 Here goes. President Johnson was in Petersburg last week. The entire committee has been in direct touch with each other at all times. It is functiOning. It is going to do plenty when it is time to do it. No sooner. A line of campaign is not laid down yet-not until We sec the moves of the several candidates and of the major parties.
 In the past, the Brotherhood and it's leaders have stood out and borne the brunt of each campaign-in getting up tick cts, financing elections, in work ing up platforms, in getting the Republican message over. And ill every war and battle, it is the men in front who make up the major casualties. So this year the organization has give Il others the opportunity to step up in front to assume leader ship and direction of the polit;- cal attacks. It will come in witil it's knife this year and will cut here and there as adroitly or as y;c;ously as ever did the profes- sjonal republican democrat.

IN SIMPLE JUSTICE

H. R. 495 was introduced by Delegate Wickersham to stop the practice of bureau and court officials blackmailing resident fishermen. In the past petty Officials would nab a boat oper- a+ing for salmon, haul it before a commissioners court, prefer charges of illegal fishing, let the operators go and hold the boat and gear in admiralty in rem. In order to get their boat and gear, to continue earning their meagre pittance, the fish errnen would agree to anything and everything that the legal red blackjackers would demand. Plead guilty and we will let you go for a fine of $40O"-and they would. For having the tenn erity to oppose the northern Mafia's, an attorney was hauled ID in contempt of court by an Ohio district attorney. Which cnly shows how drunk with power the petty officials have become.
 Under the prohibition laws. vehicles used in transportation of liquor are exempt from se.- Zure until the operator has been found guilty of violation of the law. Under the fishery regula- lions, a boat is seized and held confiscated by the bureau of fisheries and court action, until the operator pleads guilty. In most of the cases the operators of such fish boats were never even tried-nor any attempt made to find if they were guilty or not.
 The Alaska Native Brother hood has held that the proce- dure in liquor violation caser should apply in fishery cases = and the bill introduced by Dele gate Wickersham is in support of this idea. But, the Alaska Eishermen's Union of California through it's secretary, Peter E. Olson, has stated it's objections to this bill as being discrimina- tory against Alaskans and would entail extra legal machinery to permit the functioning of the law. And further that it would curtail the powers of the Bu- reau of Fisheries. We agree that the power of causing an abor- tion of justice in many instanc- - es would be taken from the Bu reau of Fisheries-but, already that bureau has too much DC. wer.
