Alaska Fishermen
Want Navy Protection
For 1912 Season
Union Also Demands
individual War Risk
Insurance for Members
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Dec. 30-A war and the
operation of enemy craft off the
West Coast have brought to the
Alaskan fishing industry the greatest
uncertainty in its history.
Packers and labor representatives
have reported conferences with
Northwest naval authorities over the
possibilities of protection for the
ships which must take fishing and
canning supplies northward early in
1912, as well as for protection during
the fishing season in distant and
dangerous waters.
Important Military Food.
The product of the fishing indus
try is an important food to the
Nations armed forces. More than
l 500 900 cases were taken by the
Army, Navy and lease-lend agencies
during 1941. In 1918, the Govern
ment established prior claim to the
whole Alaskan cannery output.
j. F. ZURICH, president of the
International Union of Fishermen
and Allied Workers &C. I. o., said
union officials were working in CO.
operation with the packers in efforts
to obtain protection for 1912 opera
tons. The union also is demanding
individual war risk insurance for its
members.
Expects to Give Protection.
THE Navy fully appreciates the
situation with which the salmon
packing industry is confronted" a
18th Naval District source said, "and
is in full sympathy with its desires.
1t Will do everything in its power
to provide the protection required.
but 1t must be understood that the
contingencies of war are not pre-
dictable."
Mr.. Zurich said another problem
would be in getting fishermen and
cannery workers from defense plants
in the State. He expressed the belief
that many with fishing in their
blood" will want to go north, if given
reasonable protection.

High Court Refuses Review
In Du Ponf Union Case
BY the Associated Press.

BY Jne ASSOCldltu fItSS.
The National Labor Relations
Board failed today to obtain a Su-
preme Court review of a decision
denying enforcement of board
order which directed the E. l. Du
Pont de Nemours & Co. to disestab-
lish a union of company employees
at its Belle (W. Va plant.
Appealing from an adverse ruling
by the Fourth Federal Circuit Court,
the board contended the union,
known as the Association of Chem
ical Employees, was formed as a
successor to admittedly company:
dominated unions" and was under
virtually the same leadership"
The Circuit Court held that the
company had posted a notice on
August 81, 1887, which restored free
dom of choice to the employees and
that formation of the new union was
an exercise of that choice. The no
tice said there would be no dis
elimination because of member
ship or non-membership in any
labor union"

has fully complied with this provision, and with

Asks Why Congress Hesitates
To Discipline Striking Labor.

To the Editor of The Star:
I imagine that represent an average
cross section of the national public and
would so much like to know why one
never hears of suggestion in the halls
OF "the most wonderful deliberative
body in the world" for putting a stop to
strike violence by stopping peaceful
picketing"
1t does seem the most servile idea ever
to have allowed 1t in the first place, for
every one, even an average child, must
know the purpose of picketing-to pre-
vent lawful exercise Of the right of prop
erty owners to manage and work their
property as they like.
A judge puts it up to a policeman:
every one passes the buck as to why
labor rules this country and is allowed
to defy the orders of the courts, to de-
stroy property, mutilate and even
murder people. Most such acts not
only go unpunished, but such criminals
are reinstated and paid for the time
rney were using for crlmlnal activity.
suppose labor's stranglehold on Gov
ernment really traces back to the fact
that Congress wants its votes, a mere
three or four million out of all the law
abiding public But I would like to
know what reason Congressman would
give for allowing picketing, destruction
OF property, etc, to the detriment Of
national defense. M. q. B. BROWN.

Recreation Plans

Another proposal for co-ordina-
tion Of District recreation facilities
has been put forward in the form
of bill introduced "by request" by
Representative John F. Hunter of
Ohio. This would create a recreation
department controlled by a three
man executive board consisting of
a superintendent, the head of the
Department of Fairgrounds and the
head of the Community Center De-
partment. Previously the three
agencies which now control recrea-
ton in WaShington-the Commits
sioners, the Board of Education, and
the Office of National Capital Parks
had finally reached agreement, for
the first time in more than a decade
OF recreation jurisdictional dis
putes, on proposals approved by the
Presidents Recreation Committee.
These, which are being prepared for
presentation to Congress, centralize
authority under a nine-man board
representing the three controlling
agencies, the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, and the
public. Five of the members of the
board would thus be representatives
of the public. They would be ap-
pointed by the Commissioners.
Without going extensively into
the merits of either plan, it should
be pointed out that the plan to which
the agencies have agreed would pro-
vide a citizen controlled board con-
tanning representatives of each of
the agencies which have facilities
to contribute. This would appear
both equitable and logical, particu-
larly in view of the voteless status
of the citizens of the District. The
three-man plan does not seem to
differ greatly from that which pre-
vailed several years ago, when both
the Playground and Community
Center Departments were separate
units. 1t fails to give representation
Of the Parks Office. which has 5000
acres to contribute for recreational
purposes, including golf courses and
tennis courts; the Planning Com
mission, which participates in land
purchases and general planning of
the city's long-range program; or
the public, which is vitally con-
cerned. 1t is to be hoped that Con-
gress, in seeking to improve Wash
ington's recreation system, will give
primary consideration to the plan
which has received the approval of
all the agencies concerned and of
the presidential committee as well.

is to hold governmental borrowing
in connection with the defense pro-
gram to a minimum. The other is
to impose real check on the inf1a-
tionary trend which would be almost
certain to follow a sharp expansion
of payrolls, accompanied by greatly
increased public buying power in
restricted market.
BY Siphoning out a portion of these
increased earnings through the me-
dium of higher taxes the Government
seeks to apply an effective brake to
excessive buying. And by paying
two-thirds of our national expenses
out OF current revenues, the in
evitable rise in the national debt and
the resulting tendency toward an
inf1ationary movement from that
source would be held to a minimum.
Under the circumstances, it should
be recognized that Mr.. Morgenthau's
proposals constitute a courageous
approach to our fiscal problem, even
though 1t may be granted that his
program is merely necessary choice
between the lesser of two evils.
