NEW ORDER ON

ALASKAN WATERS
Unions Voice Concern Over
Regulations : Labor
Leaders Views

SEATTLE, May 5. Leaders Of
Alaska fishing unions have spoken
out in apprehension of the effect OF
the new Department of interior
regulations favoring Indians in trap
fishing in the Territory, which lead
ers of the salmon industry have
condemned as threatening the in
dustrys extinction.
William Hecker, Business Agent OF
the Alaska Fishermen's Union and
Joseph F. ZURICH, President OF the
International Fishermen's and AL
lied Workers Union. both declared
the regulation, in their opinion. can
have the effect of wiping out all
labor's gain in the industry, though
Zurich qualified this by opining that
the effect would be that bad only if
Indians farm out their rights in
stead of exploiting them themselves
Can File Claims
The new regulation issued by Sec
rotary of the Interior Harold Ickes
on the basis of legal opinion from
Nathan R. Margold, the Interior De-
partment's solicitor, is interpreted by
the industry as giving the indians
the right to file claims on virtually
every salmon fishing site now oper-
ated by white individuals or cor
porations.
/ Declared Hecker:
THE regulation Is absolutely ridi-
culous and I don't think they car
