San Frantiseo Cannery Workers Claim S1O0, ,OOO
 Unemployment Pay

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct B. Abardcning Of the 1S40 Alaska fish
 ng season for 1900 San Francisco cannery workers will cost the Al- aska Unemployment Compensation fund approximately $100,000 if the -ulirg Of a special referee is upheld.
 fishing industry spokesman said
 he ruling cf labor dispute ceased to exist when the season was called eff and therefore the cannery work CTS are entitled to compensation from the Commission
 Marshall Mad'gon, attorney for the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, said the ruling will be appealed to the Alaska Commission and possibly to the United States District Court if the commission declines to set it aside.
 Estimate that the decision would entail paying of around $100,00o came from Herbert Resner, attorney for Local Five of the CIO Canncly Workers Union.
 Alaska Senator Henry Roden, Ter ritcrial Attcrn9y-General elect, the special referee, commented that "i1 the conclusion is sustained by the commission or court. 1t will mean practical exhaustion of the Unem- plcyment Compensation fund for the Territory, but this is duc to wording of our Unemployment Con- pensation Act and not any other cause. It is a matter for the Legis- lature to consider, not a referee"
 Rcden held that persons nor mally employed in the Karluk fish ing area should be compensated for lack of work. after April. In the Chignik area compensation should be given after April 12, in Bristol Bay after May 3, Roden added.
 Employers contended no compen- sation is due because labor dis pute existed even after the season was called off, but Roden said, If, as claimed by the counsel for the employers. the dispute continued at least as long as the l940 season, VIC may ask, when did it end? Why limit it to the l940 season? Like Banqucs ghost or John Browns soul, the dispute would walk or march until employers saw fit to lay it low"

 Important Area
 The nation has suddenly become aware, he said, that we are Separ- ated from potential enemies not by a broad ocean, but by narrow strait He said there were known to be three airbases and possibly more just across the way
