ALASKA FISH INDUSTRY IS
 DEALT BLOW
Unless Strike Ends Soon, Many Canneries Be Un-
 able to Operate

unless a break in the shipping tie-up comes within the next two weeks, would say that cannery operations in the area from Cape Spencer to False Pass are doomed for this year" declared F. H. Bailey, Superintendent of cannery opera tions at hte Kadiak Fisheries Com pany plants in and near Kodiak.
 When I left Kodiak last fall, we had a crew of men constructing cur new plant. We felt that the strike would be over in plenty of time for us to get more materials there, so that the new plant could be ready by spring But when the tie up continued, and we were unable to ship in the needed materials, we had to suspend construction and most of the crew came out on the last voyage of the Gen. w. O. Gorgas," MT. Bailey continued.
 Same Conditions Everywhere
 Other companies are in the same condition Every year the com- panies plan to send their first ships and crews out by the first of February, in order to get every
 hing in shape for the beginning of the run. This year, no one has been able to do anything about getting organized Things have been { too unsettled for us to even place orders for materials, and after the orders are placed it generally takes sixty days to get the supplies on 1 the way, though rail transporta- ton can speed that time somewhat, even if more expensive.
 That is what we are up against. If we are not able to get underway very soon, we can not expect to get in a full season, and in that ease ! it would not pay, our company for one, to operate at all this season.
 Small Companies Hit
 "The smaller companies have been especially hard hit by the tieing up of the pack in coast ports Though the release of a good part of it has finally been ar ranged, it is most probable that l the spring sales are already lost. ! The sale of the pack is vital to the small companies as they absolutely need the return from the sales for
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-01-25

their next seasons operation. Be- sides the part of the pack that has been held in ports, there is a very large part of it tied up in various ships that are laid up on the way to the East Coast.
 There is still time, though for the fisheries in Southeast Alaska and in the Bristol Bay region to get set, as they do not have to start as early, but I am afraid that the season is lost for the companies operating on the Gulf" MT. Bailey said.
 Prices Going Up
 Another point where the strike has hit the fishing industry is in that prices are steadily going up on netting, piles. and other needed materials, and the com panies have been unable to buy at the low prices because of doubt as to the settlement of the strike MT. Bailey continued. Our com pany will be greatly handicapped by not being able to finish our new plant, as the old one it was to replace is very nearly unwork- able any longer"
 1 MT. Bailey recently left Seattle, to start on his way north when lit appeared that the strike was near settlement. but was taken i'll and left his ship at Ketchikan to recover He came to Juneau by plane last week.
 T will stay here about two weeks | longer, then if no break has come, our operation will be off for this season and I will return south, MT. Bailey said in conclusion.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan 20. scarcely had preview echoes of one in a Million begun to fade before Hollywood was thoroughly skate conscious. Sonia Henie may not De entirely responsible, but hers IS the first film to feature skating and may take credit for starting Q cycle on ice and rollers.
 Jack Dunn, whose rink talents have been waiting at Universal TOT their opportunity, will get started soon, and contemplated feature ot the new Fred Astaire-G Ginger Rogers picture is dance on skates. There also is a skating chorus or two spotted in other films, and 1t is a matter of course that Sonia Henle will make another picture.
 Before the preview this seemed matter rather for conjecture. The blonde Norwegian Olympics cham pion was not exactly picture ma terial," you know One-picture star dom was freely predicted for her. But no! The picture reveals a chub- by, dimpled cuteness most fetch ing aside from the girls well-known prowess on the ice.
 Comedy Bolsters Her
 Excuse for her skating, surround ed by elaborate ice pallets, is pro- vided by comedy built on the sure 1 fire formula of Sing, Baby, Sing. Y There are Adolphe Menjou, the Ritz brothers, Borrah Minnevitch, Ar line Judge, Jean Hersholt, Don Ameche, Dixie Dunbar and several others, most of them slightly mad in behavior But when Sonia dances on skates, you can forget everything else. She is more graceful than a bird in fight, and less earthbound.
 Sterner stuff is this years com panion piece to The Informer." It is "The Plough and the Stars from Sean O'Casey's play, directed by the same John Ford who made "The Informer" memorable.
 The setting agan IS the lrlSh re- bellion, in the spring of 1916. There is a love story between Barbara Stanwyck and Preston Foster.
 Deriving its title from the flag of the rebellion, the film tells of the uprising against war-harassed Britain, the brief triumph the los ing struggle, the ultimate failure.
 Film Has Everything
 1 Courage, heroism, great deeds mingle in the streets with comic quirks of caution, truculence and petty thievery. The masses are liv- i ing, laughing, fighting small fights. 1 The idealistic leaders call, and the living and laughing and fighting of small fights go on, however in-

conyeniencod by the bullets and bombs from the big fight. When the shooting is over, Poster is still there as the Irish idealist, and Miss Stanwyck still weeps beside him for a future of waiting while he fights again.

Arctic Cruisers Leave for Visit
 10 East Cape

Climaxing day of sports, Es- kimo entertainment, visit to gold mining dredges, and a general visit to points of interest in the Nome section, the welcoming dance last evening at the school auditorium attracted nearly every one in town.
 The hall was packed to capacity with dancers, and the music rem dered by the orchestra from the s. s. Victoria enlivened the oc casion. New acquaintances and friendships begun early in the day between Arctic Cruise passen gers and Nomeites, blossomed in- to lasting friendliness and pleas ure as everyone participated in the gay dance.
 Dancing ceased at 1 am. when it was necessary for the Arctic Cruisers to again embark aboard the Cruise Ship Victoria enroute to Golovin, St. Michael, Teller, Diomede Islands and East Cape, Siberia. The vessel sailed early in the morning for Norton Sound ports, and will proceed to Soviet Russia's outpost on the Arctic Ocean before returning to Nome.
 However, the Cruisers will be able to come ashore again when the vessel returns from up North, and renew their friendships be- gun yesterday.
