Sarber Estimates
Beaver Take II
S. E. About 1900

Approximately 1900 beaver skins
were taken in Southeast Alaska dur
ing the recent 20-day open season,
according to Wildlife Agent H. R..
Sarber. who was in Wrangell this
week. OF the total, more than 500
were brought into Wrangell. Sarber
estimated an average price Of
around $40 to the trapper, or a
spread of conservatively $4,000 in
cash to Southeast towns as a result
of the open season. It might we'll
total up to more.
A shipment of pheasant eggs is
expected shortly at the experiment
farm in Petersburg, Sarber reported.
II they hatch as successfully as be-
fore, plan is to release more of the
birds in this vicinity where they
have done so we'll The Agent re-
ported one of the worst predators
on the pheasants is the ordinary
house cat. Several have been killed
near Petersburg by cats, he said,
including. incidentally, the Wran-
CELL fighting pheasant, which was
transferred to the experiment farm.
Cat was caught in the act and elm
mated.
Accompanying Sarber, who was
in Wednesday night and left yester-
day, was Ralph H. Imler, biologist

No Agreement

Wies Reports

w. G. Wies. local agent OF the
ASPsU, returned from Ketchikan
this week where he sat in, as rep
resentatiye of the local cannery
workers. on the NLRB hearing con-
corning CIO and AL jurisdiction
of 10 Ketchikan canneries and four
in that vicinity. Wrangell was not
involved in the hearing but is in
terested in case vote should be
taken in Southeast Alaska as ALL
requests.
The hearing involved a petition
by the CIO eannery workers for an
election in Ketehikan eanneries and
at Union bay. Hidden Inlet, Kas-
aan and George Inlet canneries to
determine which union should be
the bargaining agent. The ALL
eannery workers and tne industry
contested the petition on the grounds
that the election should be for all
Southeastern Alaska rather than
Ketehikan and vicinity.
If the board upholds the AFL and
industry position there will be no
election, otherwise it will be held
as petitfoned, Robert Condor, board
attorney, and George Bokat, board
examiner, explained
Transcript of the hearing has
been sent to the national labor re
lations board in Washington where
decision will be given.
Wies said that statements re
Gently published in Ketehikan to the
effect that negotiations between the
industry and the ALL cannery
workers and seiners are concluded,
are without foundation.
Another statement that most of
the seiners had agreed to ground
prices likewise is false and mislead-
ing" Wies said. AT the present
time negotiations are still going on
between the industry and the sein-
ers. The cannery workers contract
is yet to be negotiated. 1t is quite
apparent that certain interests had
some definite reason for spreading
this kind of propaganda The sein-
ers will not agree to any offer IN
