A definite uptrend in the salmon
market conditions is indicated by
the packers recent ofer to fishermen
of 6A cents for pinks in antieipa-
ton of a $1.10 per dozen selling
price this fall. This is an increase
of one and three-quarters cents over
the price accepted for the 1898 sea-
son.
In the face of this increase, the
Wrangell camp of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood last Saturday signed
an agreement for its members with
the WrangelI Packing Company to
accept a price of six cents on n
sliding scale.
Claim Bargaining Rights
This was necessary, F. S. Barnes,
president of the company, said to-
day, because it was impossible for
his company to sign on the scale de-
manded by the Alaska Salmon Purse
Seiners Union. The local ANB sent
a letter to the company claiming
bargaining rights, stating they be-
lieved their members were in the
majority and calling attention to
the fact that at the last Grand
Camp meeting ANB bylaws had
been revised to comply with the law
SO that the organization could
function as bargaining agent
through it's executive secretary. This
office is held by William L. Paul.
Such details as who fishes boats, or
on what basis, Mr.. Barnes says will
be settled later.
Lawrence Freeburn, of the Pyr-
amid Packing Company at Sitka,

ThOrd SOderlind Dies
At Road Camp Sunday

Death came to young Jacob ThOrd
Soderlind, employee of Wright and
Stock Construction Company, at the
road camp five miles from Wrangell
at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. He
was sitting on a bench and fell over
dead. The cause of death was de-
termined by DR.. J. H. Clements to
be heart disease with complications
of alcoholism.
Mr.. Soderlin was born in East
Stanwood, Washington, on March
80, 1914. He worked at Wrangell
last fall during the preliminary
construction work of the Wrangell
highway extension, and returned
several weeks ago from Ketchikan
which has been his headquarters
for the past three years. Two sisters
in the states who survive him de-
sired that he should be buried be-
side his parents at East Stanwood.
His body, accordingly, was shipped
south on the Denali Tuesday.
Soderlind was a very likeable
young fellow and his death is deeply
deplored by the boys in camp and
his acquaintances in town.

Unions Combine Picket
Forces At Ketchikan

Hampered in their program for a
twenty percent trap elimination by
recent court decisions. the ASPSU of
Ketchikan expects to picket approx
imately seven plants there until a
satisfactory settlement is reached, il
was learned here last Wednesday.
Verdicts handed down by courts
both on the east and west coasts
relative to situations similar to that
existing here have made difficult
to carry out the fishermena program
as planned. The only effective al
tentative. spokesman say. is the
placing OF picket lines that will be
respected.
Since injunetions have been grant
ed to those companies who claimed
interference with interstate com
meree. it is not possible to halt ship
ments of trap gear to Alaska Pick
ct lines, however. viii be establish
ed to forestall the unloading of
such equipment in Ketehikan. other
locals of the ASPsU are expected to
follow this policy.
1t has been reported that the CIO
and AL fishermen's unions are to
set aside their jurisdictional quar-
rel to combine in furthering their
common cause. CIO control of the
docks in Ketchikan is said to be an
important factor in deciding the eff
fectiYeness of picket lines.
The Sailors International Union,
though forced by court yerdiets to
submit to the shipments of trap gear.
has long been known for its refusal
to violate the picket lines of organ
ICED labor groups.
The tie-up, union officials point
out, need not affect those companies
who are not trap owners or whose
traps are not listed on the twenty
percent reduction program for elm
nation. They are emphatic. however,
in stating that although they hope
the tie-up will not be of long du-
ration they will be unrelenting in
their demands for trap curtailment
and that the question of fish prices
is secondary.

NEW YORK, May 10. CUPD-Bill
Terry's reputation as the slickest
trader in the National league is
more than an idle boast on the
basis Of the first returns from the
majors biggest winter deal between
the Giants and the Cubs.
A checkup on the six players in
volyed shows the Giants have such
a vide advantage that Terry must
have blindfolded Gabby Hartnett
in New Orleans last December 8
when ne gave him Hank Leiber.
Dick Bartell and Gus Mancuso for
Frank Demaree, Billy Jurges and
Ken ODea.
The negotiations between Terry
and Hartnett started soon after
the world series on the basis OF
Hank Leiber. the big outfielder the
Cubs wanted badly TO add punch
TO their cream-puff attack. The
deal seemed stalled until Hartnett
repeatedly told Terry.
"If we can't get together on Leiber
alone, any other deal we might
make would have to include Bar
tell"
Terry, playing poker, spared for
time, saying ne didn't know about
letting Bartell go and would have
TO consult Horace Stoneham, Giants
president, before Offering the New
York shertstop In a deal. Actually

Terry was so elated over Hartnett's S
desire TO get Bartell that he rushed
TO Stoneham and told him the glad
tidings. Terry was washed up on
Bartell, and wanted to get rid of
him.
Demaree, O'Dea and Jurges to-
gether are outhitting Leiber, Bar
tell and Mancuso by ll3 points
and have scored four more runs and
driven in II more.
Leiber, who was benched Monday
because Of his batting slump, has
been the big disappointment to the
Cubs. Expected to add power to
the attack Leiber has stalled the
Cubs offense so often Hartnett had
TO bench him. 1t may be that a
pulled leg muscle has thrown Leiber
off stride and that as soon as he's
fully recovered he will regain his
batting eye.
Bartells various ailments have
hampered his play, and his weak
hitting has sorely handicapped the
Cubs. Jurges is outhitting him by
80 points and has topped him afield
Each had made two errors but
Jurges has handled considerably
more chances and has participated
in II double plays to Bartell's ten
Mancuso's catching was satisfac-
tory but Hartnett had TO come off
the bench TO try to give the Cubs
attack a shot in the arm. Mancusc
wasn't hitting his weight. ODea
has been used only as a pinch hit
