Redskins Plan Exhibition.
In HuWuii: Three on Coast
. e n t a tiV e
Schedule
Set
BY KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

Matters are beginning to shape
themselves so that it is more than
likely that the washington Red.
skins will get their long wished
for tour of the Pacific Coast, and
possibly to Honolulu, to show
their championship form.
Negotiations for three Redskins
appearances on the Pacific Coast
and one in Hawaii are being car
ried on between the civic organi-
cations of three and four coast
metropolises and the Pan Pacific
Press Bureau, located in Wash
ington, has started correspond
ence with the Honolulu Chamber
of Commerce, looking toward
transporting the Washington pro
football team, bag and baggage,
to faraway Hawaii.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
The tentative schedule calls for
Sunday game at either Portland,
Ore, or Seattle, Wash, on Jan
uary 9.
A brisk business battle Is raging
between those cities to determine
which can land the game. Port
land is anxious to show the Red
skins against an all-star collegiate
eleven there, but is meeting op-
position from Seattle in view of
the latter'S higher offer.
Four members of the Redskins
attended college in the State of
Washington, as did Coach Ray
Flaherty, so Seattle knows it has
an attraction and is making a tall
bid for the January 9 date.
Chuck Bond, the blond tackle,
attended Washington University;
Turk Edwards attended Washing
ton State, and Max Krause, half
back, as well as Ed Justice, end,
attended Gonzaga University at
Spokane.
MARSHALL ON COAST
The other cities seeking the
services of the Redskins are San
Francisco and Los Angeles, on
Sundays, January 16 and %, re-
spectively. In Frisco the opposi-
ton would be another all-colle-
giate eleven, while the vanquished
Chicago Bears are being con-
sidered as the enemy in the Los
Angeles enterprise on the next to
the last Sunday in January.
Owner Marshall arrived in Los
Angeles today, following a 48-hour
stayover in Chicago after the
championship was won by the
Redskins. From the City of An
gels, Marshall will take up nego-
tiations looking to the completion
of the exhibition dates.

AMENDING OF WAGNER LABOR
 ACT PROPOSED
Present Measure Not Up to Required Standard
 Some Loopholes
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Quiet- ly circulating within the ranks ol labor leaders and others interested is plan for amending the Wag- ner labor relations act that arises almost from within the ranks of labor itself.
 The demand for such rewrit- ing has grown increasingly insis- tent for several reasons-cne is that strikes have continued ir spite of it, another that it leaves optional with labor whether the act shall be brought into play.
 For instance, during the first stages of the disturbances at Re public Steel, the Steel Workers Organizing Committees a CIO af- filiate, refrained from calling in the Labor Board to conduct ar election. It claimed to have ma iority membership among the work CTS, yet declined to attempt exer- cising the right of bargaining which a true majority would have given it. Republic, however, coulo not appeal to the board.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-07-15
BREAK FOR BOSS

With all due respect to the credi- bility of labor officials, the gener- ally accepted opinion of newsmen and many others closely following strike developments was that the steel workers committee did not have a majority but called the strike as a means of recruiting one.
 The new plan now quietly dis cussed still does not give the em- ployer the right to ask an election. That would give him an oppor- tunity to call an election when he felt the labor organization was at it's lowest ebb.
 But the new plan gives the em- ployer stronger position. First, it would let him require newly recognized majority to undergo a six months trial period. Tn that time the union would have to prove it's ability to retain the ma jority in good order.
 After that however, the employer would be obligated to negotiate with the union and sign any agree ment reached. That matter of sign 1 ing an agreement has been source of dispute.

Catholic Priests Go After Their
 Fish with Guns
Visitors Have Eventfu l Trip to Marmion
 Island

Hunting may be technically out of season, but there is no ruling to forbid shooting halibut and salmon, especially if you have forgotten your gaff hook and net, and have only a day or two left to catch all of those big ones" you plan to tell about at home.
 Such was the decision reached by the four visiting Catholic Priests when they arrived at Marmion Is land aboard Cash Coles boat, the Jazz, yesterday, minus half of their equipment. Accompanied by Father William G. Levasseur, Peter Loftus, Robert and Kenney Thibodeau and Joe Thibodeau, the four priests left for Marmion at 10 a. m and finally returned here at p. m.
 In order of tnelr catches they are, the Rev. Antonio Thibodeau, four salmon; the Rev. Alphonse Trottier, two salmon and one halibut, the Rev. Odon .Archambeau, one hall but and one salmon, who incident ally broke three lines in the pro- cess, and the Rev. P. A. Granger, one small halibut.
 Altogether the group shot nine salmon, and thre h ib t, and among the hardest workers was the Rev. William G. Lavasseur, on one of his first fishing trips.
 The four priests, who have been visiting here from Eastern Can ada, leave tomorrow for the south aboard the Princess Louise. They will travel through California be- fore proceeding on to Canada, con- cluding an eight week vacation. During their stay in Juneau they have been entertained by the Rev.

WHIP HAND

To this point, the new amend ments proposed would appear to give labor and industry about a 50-50 break.
 But the next phase of the pro- posal is that an employer would be permitted to withdraw recog- milton for one year of a majority union if the Labor Board deter mines it has preached a contract by striking or other means.
 That still leaves the Labor Board with the whip hand, and to date it has been decidedly pro-labor But it would impose substantial pressure upon the board to act in such a case as that presented by the automobile workers union

Open Breach Charged
The concordat was signed, the
Pope wrote, despite grave mis-
givings, because we believed it to
be in the best interests of the
church and the German people.
He declared:
'If its terms were not kept,
it was no fault of the church.
The other party interpreted it
falsely, evaded it's provisions, un-
dermined its content, and finally
more or less openly violated its
Stipulations."
Explaining why he clung to the
concordat in spite of violations
the Pope said:
"Our paternal care for the vel
fare of the souls entrusted to
us counsels us not to ignore such
prospects as may still be open
for returning to the cOncOrdat
and for reaching true under
standing.
1--WE shall not fail to continue
to be champions of your right be-
fore the leaders of your people.
Regardless of temporary sue
cess or failure, and obedient only
to our conscience and our duties,
we shall continue to oppose all
that seeks to stifle guaranteed
rights by open or covert show Of
force"

concordat will be scrapped unless
the Catholic Church abandons its
attacks on the Nazi party and
state.
Foreign office authorities were
instructed to prepare protest to
the Holy See, it was understood, on
grounds that the encyclical itself,
in language and spirit, constituted
a violation of the condordat.
Catholic circles a; the same time
indicated they are ready for sur
prises," fully aware that if the
papal treaty is denounced they are
in for some uncomfortable and per
haps dangerous days, but that the
church will stand its ground.
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler'S
newspaper, the Voelkischer Beo-
bachter, sounded the Nazi reply
to the Pope'S challenge with an
outSpoken threat against the con-
cordat. 1t warned:
Gwen a treaty with the Holy
See is not untOuchable, nor made
for eternity"
The concordat which guaran-
teed, among other rights, main
tenance of Catholic schools in
Germany must be adapted to ac-
tua1 developments to keep it from
becoming sterile" the newspaper
said, and continued:
what was once yes under
the treaty may, under the
weight of changed conditions, be
transformed to mo-, and juStifi-
ably so.
Official and church circles,
aghast over the dramatic manner
in which the Pope opened Holy
Week with declaration of holy
war, said a showdown in the pro-
tracted fight between the state
and the Catholic Church must
speedily come.
Fight for Faith
After the Pontiff, in a strongly
worded encyclical read from nearly
every Catholic pulpit in Germany,
brought the Hitler regime to book
for alleged violation of the papal
concordat, Count Conrad Prey
sying, Bishop of Berlin, summoned
an emergency meeting of the men
of his parishes. He said:
"Be ready to fight for your
faith"
Delivery of thePope's encyclical
was made with war-like drama.
Penned at the Vatican by the Ill
and aged Pontiff, the message was
received in Berlin only Saturday
night. Volunteer Catholic Paul
Reveres" sped through the night
by car and motorcycle, arouSing

structions to read the encyclical
on Palm Sunday.
In some cas- es NaZi secret police
succeeded in intercepting and con-
fiscating the messages. But count

over the country heard the call to
arms.
