THIELE TELLS j. FISHERMEN
 TO UNIONIZE

In the course of the citizens meeting last night with the local eannery operators, Karl Thiele, president of the Diamond K Packing Company, stated forcefully his le- lief in the necessity of unions say ing they were vital in the protection of the working man. However, he cautioned fishermen and cannery workers against blindly following organizers who came in from the outside. oftentimes without ereden- tials and always with a hand itcb- ing for dues.
 At this point John Stevenson of the Wrangell local, Alaska Purse Seiners' Union asked:
 MT. Thiele, If the people in Wrangell want to organize. how can We obtain a charter. We have tried seemingly in vain, for a charter from the AFL. Do you know any other way?
 "When we started the union last year." Stevenson continued, we did not want utilization with any out side union. We wanted complete autonomy. But later in order 70 have the support of a strong organ ization back of us we applied for a district charter from the AFL.. Our request, we were told, was sane toned by MT. William Green, head of the AFL and by Labor Board. We want absolute control in Alaska. We want to be independent. Then the AFL appointed a Mr. Silver as investigator, and for four months Silver has investigated. But who does he investigate? Does he lnvesti- gate us? No; he investigates the bunch in San Francisco who have been opposed to our getting a dis triet charter and who have been trying to get control over us. In addition to San Francisco claiming Jurisdiction, Puget Sound comes in and demands control of us. Now, we have taken the stand that if the AFL will not issue us a charter we will get one from some other source"
 MT. Thiele replied that he had no authority to speak for the AFL but that he believed the charter as desired could be secured.
 Then in all earnestness MT. Thiele said: I want to caution you to safeguard your interests for what you think is the best welfare of every man in the Industry. Don't rush into affiliations with any one. You have tremendous power. Keep it for yourself.

Two Million Asked
 For Alas. Air Base

WASHINGTON, D. C. Delegate Dimond recently appeared before subcommittee of the House Commit tee on Appropriations which was considering the War Department appropriation 'bill and requested an appropriation of two million dollars to commence work on the Army air base authorized for Alaska under the Act of August 12, 1885, commonly known as the Wilcox Air Defense Act.
 The Delegate pointed out that AL aska lies on the direct route be- tween the main body of the United States and the Orient and that, ow- ing to circumstances which have occurred during the past year, it is more than ever important that AL aska be adequately defended and that any hostile power in possession of Alaska would be within easy striking distance of the United States-the distance between Ketch- ikan and Seattle being only TAT miles.
 He further invited the attention of the Committee to the flight recently made by the six Army bombers, commonly called flying fortresses'' from the United States by way of Lima, Peru, to Buenos Aires, capital of the Argentine Republic, and said that 1t would be impossible for those particular ships to operate in Alaska because we have no airfields large enough to accommodate them; and that it was thousand times more important to prepare adequate defenses for Alaska than it could possibly be to aid in the defense of the. South American countries, no matter what justification there might be for such assistance to those countries.
 He again told the committee that the line between Yokohama and the main body of the United States by way of the Aleutians is 1,400 miles shorter than line between Yoko- hama and the United States which would pasz through the Hawaiian InassSz~

COU NCIL
 NEAR END
 OF TERM

The short session of the Town Council held last night at the city hall and adjourned until Thursday night of next week will constitute the next to the last regular session Of the present council year.
 City elections will be held oil April 5th after which the present council will meet only to wind up the affairs of the year and turn over the city's government to the new council.
 Little business was transacted last night, all matters requiring discus sion having been left until the ao journed session. Chief on the list of "hot" discussions, it seems indicated will be the matter of vacations on full pay being granted to city em- ployees.
 This was brought to the attention of the council by the presentation of a claim by H. Wellons, operator of the city light plant, for six weeks pay during a recent vacation
  s360 The claim was questioned by the finance committee whereupon it developed that several of the councilmen had been under the i'm pression that a city ordinance pro Yided for vacations on full pay for all city employees.
 Upon being questioned the city clerk stated that such was not the case. Mr. Wellons said he had his last vacation in 1894 and at the rate of two weeks per year believed he was entitled to 45 days on pay.
 T believe every city employee is entitled to two weeks vacation a year." Mayor Hanford stated, but I do not believe it should be accum- ulatiYe." L. M Campbell chairman of the finance committee, concurred in this. The mayor stated that City Clerk Chisholm has never asked for a vacation but that salaries of other employees had continued while they were on vacation.
 When this custom started in Wrangell, how much money has been spent in this way and to whom, and how the council can reconcile such expenditure in view of the fact that no city ordinance covers it and no budget approved by a city coun- cil has provided for it, will be brought out at the adjourned session Thursday night.

Tournament Features
 Double Header Games
By. George Case


 Basketball fans look forward to the first or a series of unofficial tournament games to be held to- hIgnt in the municipal gym.
 Metlakatla Town Team will en- gage Wrangell Town Team ln to- nights first event. It will be the first time these two teams have met Tn several seasons. In the second game Klawock will again tackle Wrangell Institute. They returned Thursday from Rake where they met defeat in two games but their chances against Institute are now greatly improved as at Rake they annexed M. Grant and L. Austin into their lineup. Both men were stellar hoopsters of Kake's victorious five and are former Institute stu dents.
 Of the team from Annette Island we know very little save that Metla- katla turns out some bangup melon tossing units as Wrangell and others have learned to their sorrow in the past. We know, however, that they trounced the Kubley team, league leaders of Ketchikan, and were in turn beaten by the Tongass Five second in command of the league.
 Of the other three teams the fol- lowing facts are known and tend to bear out the conviction that scores tell little of a team's quality and that speculation as to the vic tors of the tournament is a very difficult matter.
 Town Team won from the Insti- tute; Institute won from the Town Team. Both games were close. Klawock lost to both teams
 Rake was victorious over both teams.
 Klawock lost to Rake. Yet Kla. wock now has the mainstays of the Rake team
 Tomorrow night Metlakatla meets Institute and Klawock again meets Wrangell's Town Team.
 It is not probable that anyone interested in the excellent bal games we have witnessed this season will miss the contests that starr 1 tonight. It is expected that thess games will be the conclusion of ths basketball season and fans antici pate a stirring finish.

none of the three canneries in Wrangell can operate. What position will your town be in? What posi- tion will your Territorial govern ment be in? When you take this town the rest Of the territory Is the same Businessmen and fishermen alike must recognize this is not my problem alone. It is your problem, too. I'll be frank. I don't know what to do I don't know what conditions are going to be this fall. The logi- cal question in your minds is what can 1 pay for fish? Who knows. don't know. We can operate prob ably if we can pack for s1.00 market. I don't know how to get my costs down to that. I doubt if anyone can make any money if he has to sell for less than SIPS.
 Labor Situation
 Many of you men are asking about the labor situation. l can't advise anyone on labor, any more than I can on religion. You men have a lot to decide but I don't see why any of yeu should pay any at tention to any labor organizer com ing in from the outside.
 want to admonish you: Keep your union clean. Don't let some one get in and get your money from you. Keep your union true to Am erican principles. I don't have to recognize nor employ any man if he is not a citizen or if he follows Com munistic principles.
 Another thing. the Salmon In dustry confronts two labor situa- tions Supposing the whole industry recognizes the CIO and the AFL pickets us, or the reverse. Can you tell me how we are going to operate under such labor confusion and tur- moil? I'm like anyone else. I should like to operate this season. A lot of people have been in my employ ever since I have been in the business. Many families are dependent upon employment with the Diamond K for the main part or their liyeli- hood How can we fail them?. But, alas, how can we stay by them I'll be perfectly frank; I don't know.
 Factors In Financing
 This business of ours is governed by many factors, Mir. Thiele de- clared. T cant operate unless l bor- row money There is but one place to go-the bank. We must have guf- ;ofa loaf We must have prospects of a success ful season. The banker does not loan his personal money. He loans from his deposits-money deposited inI his care by you. He is under obli- gation to protect your interests byI protecting your money. He must not loan on poor risks. Always this prob lam of cannery operation comes back to being your problem, just as much as it is my problem.
 After MT. Thiele had answered a number of questions from persons in the audience the mayor called up- on F. S Barnes.
 MT. Barnes stated that he had listened very carefully to what MT. Thiele had said and it was evident MT, Thiele had spent a great deal of thought on the subjects covered; that while MT. Thiele was talking from the Diamond K standpoint, his statements revealed the position of practically every independent pack CT.
 And when I say independent packer" said Mir. Barnes, T mean operators who depend upon seiners for their fish and do not belong to a group of cannerfes."
 While in Seattle, Mir. Barnes stated, he had made a study of market conditions and from infor- nation obtained through some of the most prominent brokers he found
