VICHY, France, July 9. - The
French Parliament today gave the
Government of Marshal Petain a
free hand to write new totalitar-
ian constitution.
The swift parliamentary action
virtually sealed the doom of the
Third French Republic after the
Chamber of Deputies voted 1896 to

Petain Government full powers to
write new constitution.
The Senate concurred, with 225
votes against one lone ballot.
All that is needed now is final
formal approval by the National
Assembly composed of the two
houses sitting together.
The vote of both branches makes
the outcome of the Assembly meet
ing a certainty.
This means the end of the Dem
ocratic Third Republic which rose

Labor Difficulties
Baker described labor difficulties
of the Alaska Line vessels since

the difficulties have grown more
acute since 1888 when cannery en-
ployees came under the unions.
The Alaska Line manager de-
clared: Before 1888 when our
cargo was loaded by union long
shoremen and handled by union
crew men in Seattle without COM
ment. we were fairly certain the
cargo would be discharged without
difficulty. Now we never know
whether or not we will be able to
discharge the cargo when it arrives
at cannery ports in the Territory"
Illustrating the difficulties OF
cannery labor situations, Baker said
the steamer Dellwood had returned
to Seattle with ], 200 tons of freight
that could not be unloaded be-
cause union crew members refused
to pass picket lines of cannery strik-
ers.

Siika 5wamped with Fish;
Fishermen Make Demands;
Trolling Tieup Threatened

SITKA, Alaska, July 9.-Close TO
one million pounds of troll-caught
salmon was landed at the Cold
Storage Company dock from June
% to July 7. establishing an all
time record here. Approximately
425,OO0 pounds of salmon we're
landed on the dock over the week.
End, the highest total in Sitka S
fishing history, choking the stor-
age facilities and swapping the
buyers.
Because nearly half of the re-
ceipts are cohoes and freezer space
is taxed to capacity, most of the
docks six buyers sold the cohoes
to the Pyramid Packing Company
here for canning operations Whlch
started Monday. No more cohoes
will be sold to the buyers at the
dock and instead the Pyramid Com
pany will pick up the fish daily
on the grounds thus relieving the
congestion at the Cold storage
Dock
This arrangement will continue
until the buyers are willing to
meet the fishermen's demands for
six cents a pound for cohoes, in
side the present price of four cents.
Other salmon price demands have
been presented to the buyers by
the representative of the Alaska
Trollers Association and United
Trollers of Alaska. These demands
include IA, 10 and cents instead
of the prevailing prices OF IL, D
and 7 cents.
If the price demands are not met
by Thursday noon, July ii, the
unions threatened to tieup all troll
ing activities in Southeast Alaska.
