The Wrangell sentinel., 1938-02-04

A meeting of the cannery work CTS union which was called Fri day night by President C. Don Mill Ter for the purpose of getting mem bers registered for cannery work. was attended by 75 persons.
 z. T. Scoyill. general organizer for the Pacific Coast Fishermen s Union, addressed the meeting. The main thing for the Wrangen can nery workers to do, he said, was to get organized so they can be recog- nized by other unions.
 Union members from the states, he pointed out, will refuse to work with members not affiliating with recognized unions. This was in an- swer to the desire voiced by many of the wrangell workers to have a local union independent of all other unions.
 The Maritime Federation, Scovill said recognizes Local No. '. c. l. o. Seattle. as the bargaining agent for inside cannery workers and the Wrangell union, to be recognized must come under the C.LO. for inside cannery workers. The Mari time Federation recognizes the Al aska Fishermen's Union as the bar gaining agents for outside cannery workers. scows, rigging crews, etc.
 The Maritime Federation, Scovill explained, is composed of the various unions in the Pacific Coast, includ- ing longshoremen, sailors and the various fishing organizations, re- gardless of the International affilia- ton of the various unions. Any union within the federation, he stated, can change it's international utilization at will without losing it's identity in the Maritime Fed. eration
 The Pacific Coast conference oi the C.LO. cannery workers held il December at Astoria, Oregon passed resolution, according to the mir. utes sent to Scovill, that the char. tering of Alaska cannery workerl be left up to the Pacific Coas' organization committee. Alaska res idents duly elected will be a part of whieh their own autonomy, theil sHD Hsrhing Fseee s1a vssAtal

Institute CagerS Lose Game Rake Town Team

In an exhibition of stamina that would gladden. the heart of any ath- letic ian the Rake Town Team. last Saturday night, defeated the Wran- gell Town Team and the Wrangell Institute in two consecutive games.
 The first to suecumb to the Rake invasion was the Town Team. In the opening periods the town boys held the lead by several points put ended up with their main weakness as evidenced in their two preceding games this season. They made no substitutions until the closing min utes and lost one of their best men when they needed him most. In this case it was Eyerson, excellent floor man and scorer, who was put out on fouls It was the first time, Ever son stated, that this had ever hap pened to him in his ten years of ex- perience on the basketball court The previous night in the battle with the Institute there were no personals against him
 In the second game, between Rake and Wrangell Institute. the former sent out five fresh men. When the Tigers began to snow them under, spectators were astonished to see the team that had played the previous game come upon the floor.
 It was a terrific fight that those native basketeers from Rake pres ented to overcome their opponents lead. Though gray with exhaustion they battled valiantly and at the closing whistle ended by fine mar. gin.
 Two of the Rake players are well known by Wrangell fans as M Grant and Austin both former ster. ling hoopsters of Wrangell Insti- tute.
 The games were played before g packed house in spite of the game the night before showing a marked increase in basketball interest oveI the past two seasons.

 After paying this months revenue certificate there remained $22.700 outstanding against the city light plant This in a few days, will be further reduced to S21.150. The value of the plant at a conservative estimate is held to be well over $100,000
 Earlier in the present council year, four certificates of $500 each which had been deferred shortly af- ter the new plant was installed, were taken up by the council. The payment of over s5000 has been made this year on the plants indebt- edness in addition 10 the regular monthly payments
 The mayor remarked as the dis cussion neared the close that the balance remaining in the light plant fund was sufficient to meet any em- ergency which might arise. One of the eouneilmen inquired what about repairing or replacing the 120 h. p. engine, whereupon Gunderson said he believed they should pay off present indebtedness on the plant before incurring any new, and in this sentiment, the council informal y seemed to agree.

It's horse and horse now between the Wrangell Institute Tigers and Wrangell Town Team. Tn a game packed with thrills and spills the Instituters emerged victors in the second of a series of three tussels between the two teams last Friday night.
 The contest was hard fought from start to finish and more roughness was evidenced than in the first game of the series two weeks ago. Though the Tigers were short one of their main cagers, Peratrovich, they put out every effort to over come the lead which the Town boys had piled Up early in the game.
 The battle was lost in the last quarter to the Town Team after the score was tied twice; once at 23 and another at 29. From that point their rallies failed to take effect and they were further hindered when Eyerson left the game with a cramp- ed leg.
