ShipYdrd Averted
Metal Trades Unions Win In
Settlement With Tampa
Engineering Co.

Washington, d. CA clash between
A. F. of l.. Metal Trades Unions and
the Tampa (FLa.) Shipbuilding and
Engineering Company, which threat
ened to hold up national defense con-
struction, was tentatively settled this
week, with marked gains for the
unions.
The 1900 employees at the company's
shipyard had voted to strike on July
Is, after the management refused ITO
renew a closed shop contract with the
unions and rejected demands for wage
increases and other improvements in
working conditions.
At the request of the U. S. Con-
ciliation Service, representatives of
both sides came to Washington, and
after three days Of continuous nego-
tiations, the management finally back
tracked and agreed to continue its
closed shop pact with the unions, and
add a newly organized A. f. of L.
Office Workers Union to the groups
covered.
A six-week breathing spell" was
also worked out, during which repre-
sentatives Of the U. S. Maritime Com
mission, the Department Of Labor and
the Defense Commission will study
wage rates and conditions in the ship
yard.
They will offer cooperation to the
unions and the management in new
negotiations and whatever wage
scales are agreed upon will be retro
active to July |. W. A. Calvin, sec
retary-treasurer of the A. f. of L.
Metal Trades Department; represen-
tatives of affiliated international
unions, and committee from Tampa
participated in the conciliation con-
ferences.
The settlement, as worked out, was
ratified at membership meetings of
the locals in Tampa.

William Green of the American Fed.
Grafton Of Labor has directed the i'm,
mediate removal Of Joseph (Socks)
LAMA, ex-convict, as business agent
of the United Sea Food Workers
Union, Local 16,975. He telegraphed
instructions to William Collins, New
York A. F. Of L. representative, to

der direct control of the A. F. Of L.

an A. F. of l.. charter issued in 1919
He served two years in Federal prison
at Milan, Mich, on charges growing
out of a "protection" racket at New
York's Fulton Fish Market. He and
others were accused Of hiring thugs
to enforce an interstate fish monopoly
through a so-called "Watchman and
Patrol Association"
LAMA was tried on an antitrust
charge and received one of the
heaviest sentences ever imposed in an
antitrust case when he and 81 other
defendants were sentenced on Dec. g.
1885, by Federal Judge Julian W.
Mack.
Judge Mack sentenced LAMA to
serve two years in prison and to pay
a fine of $4,000. At the same time
he imposed lesser sentences upon two
of Lanza's henchmen, Joe Lappi and
Louis Palermo. The latter, who dis
appeared after he had pleaded to the
antitrust indictment, was sentenced to
a year in prison, and Lappi to six
months.
The remaining defendants, including
twenty-five corporations and the Fish
Workers Union of Greater New York
and Vicinity, had fines imposed upon
them ranging from $1O0 for the union

D0E-BU(K TALK FOR
 BIG STAG
Committee Is Confaltinq Sportsmen Today-0ver
 200 Expected Attend

Do Juneau sportsmen want to shoot does as well as bucks?
 That is definitely one of the sub jects that will come up before local gunners and outdoor-sports-l lovers Friday night in the Elks Hall when nimrods of the channel hold what promises to be the biggest stag party the city of Juneau has ever enjoyed
 Talk has been rampant this fall on the matter of shooting does, but no single opinion has been found representative of what sportsmen really desire on such law. Elsewhere in The Empire tonight Frank Dufresne, of the Alaska Game Commission, infers that sportsmen of the Territory, organized, giving the game commission collective opinions on wildlife management, ] can themselves make the game laws.
 Other game problems are also scheduled to come before Friday nights meeting following aeveral reels of the best game and fish pie lures available in the city and sportsmen will be given an oppor- tunity to decide whether or not they want a voice in the management of their game resources.
 At the close of the meeting Percy Reynolds will serve buffet supper and according to sportsmen organ izing the affair there will be plenty of beer and coffee"
 Committeeman were contacting sportsmen today in both Juneau and Douglas for reservations at the meeting. and from all indications, there will be close to POO men at the stag.
 All men interested in attending, if not contacted immediately, are requested to call Green 375 or 602. Names of those attending must be known as nearly as possible by to- morrow night to properly make feeding and seating arrangements.
