 Meet All Demands
 This condition still exists and despite the, fact that there is d strike on several steamers with those various unions our ships are still fully manned from captain down with union men and are being paid the union scale. Our object in going before this commit tee was to advise them that we were willing to meet their de- mands, recognize their union, and requested them to send gangs of men down to load our steamers. This request was taken up by the committee who informed us that, while they recognized we were fair, that the innocent must suffer with the guilty and they could not work cur vessels until everybody else signed the agreement.
 Repeated efforts along the same lines have failed to bring any other response. Yesterday at the direct request of the Alaska Fishermen's Union we notified the Executive

This request was turned down late last night. We know of nothing else that we can do.
 "A representative of the unions told us last night that they were to have an executive meeting to- morrow, Friday, morning and that he believed if President Roosevelt would send personal telegram to that meeting addressed to MT. Dewey Bennett, Executive Secre- tary, International Longshoremen's Union, Seattle, urging them to sign up with us and permit the release of our vessels that in his opinion it would be done.
 Quick Action Vital
 There is urgent need for quick action as, unless we can get North King off to Bristol Bay by Mon day next, it will be too late for us to get ready for the season and would be necessary for us to dis charpe all these men now waitino transportation. And, as you know, we hire large number of natives and resident fishermen up there whom we will be unable to take care of.
 "On the Alaska Peninsula we en- ploy over one hundred natives from Belkofsky, Perryville and Unga sec- tions, and unless food and supplies can be gotten up to them in the next few days it will be necessary
