Cushman Restraints PicketS
From Vessel at Ketchikdn

ship owners and operators on the
ground that refusal 10 allow land
ing of the machinery in Alaska
was interference with interstate
commerce.
Stevenson Appears
Representing the unions, Attor'
ney John c. Stevenson Of Seattle
powerful state political figure OF a
few years ago said the pieketing
in Alaska was purely part OF an
employer-employe dispute with the
canneries and that the courts de-
cision might be appealed as FAR
as the u. S. supreme court
He pointed out that mail and all
other freight aboard the ship was
discharged by the ketchikan long
shoremen and declared there was
no refusal to handle cargo unu'
the ship moved to a private can
merry dock which was picketed by
cannery workers.
In granting the restraining or
der Stevenson insisted. the cour
by subterfuge was being use'
TO deprive the cannery unions o
their right of giving publicity e
their labor dispute and TO breah
a legitimate strike.

Gated he might advise his clients

nothing he could do.

the Washington district council OF
the Maritime federation who tesu
fled he had wired the ketehikaf
sub-council to limit picketing Il

Modern in every detail, only the

on which 1t is located.
Lighting effects, both outside and
