Among the items which had to be
reproduced to lug millions of movie
goers back to Nottingham Forest with
complete conviction were lances. bows
and arrows and other arms and wea-
pons. cooking utensils, household fur
nishings, wagons, harness, trumpets,
lamps, drinking vessels and musical
instruments. 1t was big job, and an
expensive one. But don't think the
expense is not going to be cut. Warner
Bros have decided to accomplish that
by producing sequel to Robin

century is going to be tossed once
more into the middle of the Goth.
This was not the primary considera-

that they have found some characters,

public will want to see from other

 George Wort. business agent of the CIO Alaska Cannery Workers Union announced this afternoon that his group had entered negotia tions with the Red salmon Canning Company.
 A spokesman of one of the three companies whose Alaskan operati tions are delayed by the three way union Jurisdictional fight confirmed the report thas CIO negotiations had been resumed. but added, We have given no assurance that the CIO will be the only group we deal with :

Instead of being hard-up as we found them, four years ago, they ended the last season with money in their pockets and their bills paid Our company employed in its one- line plant about 125 fishermen and 50 to 60 cannery workers last year In addition to the wages paid out we purchased supplies to the amount of $15,000 in Alaska, and our taxes paid the Territory are about $5,000 If we fail to operate, there will be about 200 or 300 people in Hoonah employees of our company and their dependents, who will be without funds"
 MT. Wright, who is on the board of his company and it's secretary and treasurer, will leave Juneau on the company's new tender Point Sophia as soon as he hears from Seattle the outcome of the juris- dictional disputes being walked there
 If the disputes are settled they will operate-but if they aren't, like other Alaska canneries, the Icy Straits Packing Company will be forced to suspend for the 1888 sea- son, he said.
 We don't want to suspend opera tions We have spent lot of money on our plant and we know suspen- sion will mean hardship to the people of Hoonah, but conditions may be such that we will be forced to shut down this year.
 Frank Wright, Jr, is one of the second generation of salmon can ners. His father, late head of the Carlisle Packing Company, was ono of the old-timers and a recognized leader in the industry for many years.

BRISTOL BAY MIDDLE

SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-CIO Cannery Unions are seeking to open negotis tions with salmon packers after the AFL Cannery Workers Un- ion, the Independent Filipino Can~ nery Employees Union and the packers attorney had stipulated that the CIO pledge list represented 9 substantial majority of the 1937 workers.
 The Filipino union and AFL stIli contend that the companies have no regular employees on account Of the seasonal nature of the work and can therefore bargain with any un- ion they wish.
 Marshall Madison, attorney for the Alaska Packers Association, said that the operators were hesitant about concluding an agreement with any union, on account Of the pend- ing decision of the Labor Board which is trying to determine juris- diction.
 G. Baltzer Peterson. general man. ager of the Red salmon Company, said that the itlrisdictional dispute is only one problem the companies face, that final agreements with ten other unions must be reached before the fishing fleets can sail.

CANNERY MAN AWAITS LABOR
 SETTLEMENT
Frank Wright, IT,, in Ju. neau, Hopes Plant Will
 Operate at Hoonah
Senator

One of the first of the Southeast Alaska cannery operators to ar rive north, Frank Wright, Jr., is in Juneau waiting for news of the cannery workers jurisdictional dis pute before leaving for Hoonah where he is superintendent of the Icy Straits Salmon Company's can nery.
 Before leaving Seattle on the Yu- kon last Saturday, MT. Wright had spent three days sitting in on the hearings of the committee appointed by the labor board of the salmon industry to meet with representa- tives of the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union.
 There are two issues still involv- ed, as far as Southeast Alaska can- neries are concerned, before a set- clement of the cannery workers dis putes can be reached MT. Wright said.
 These are both jurisdictional. The first has to do with the AFL- CIO cannery workers bargaining agency dispute. The second is a dispute between the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union, with l,60O members in Alaska, and the Salmon Purse Seiners of the Pacific, with headquarters in Seattle. Each is claiming jurisdiction, as far as fish, ing goes, from Yakutat south"
 MT. Wright considers the labor problem as far as his company is concerned, a local one. Except for ten key men whom they bring up from the south, the Icy Straits Con- pany employs natives from Hoonah and a few white people from Juneau and Hoonah.
 We feel that we have a definite place in the economic scheme as re- gards the natives of Hoonah." MT Wright said Since we started tc operate in 1884, the Indians have gained in money and employment
