Labor Head Raps Trap Tax Defeat

Defeat of the graduated tax on fish traps in Alaska is rapped soundly by Frank Marshall, Alaska representative of the American Federation of Labor, formerly of Kodiak, in a wire re- ceived here. The wire states:
 After 2 days hearing before the Senate, House Bill 35, plac- ing a graduated and equitable tax on fish traps in Alaska lost by a tie vote of 8 to 8. Senate President Ed Coffey, of Anchor age, former Bristol Bay fisher man and union representative, had the last and deciding vote.
 "This bill was strenuously op- posed by the canned salmon in- dustry but was supported by both the AFL and CIO and Alaska native organizations.
 "Voting with Coffey were Grenold, Collins, N. R. Walker, Leo Rogge, O. D. Cochran, Tolbert Scott, Frank Wahley and Allen Shattuck.
 "Loss of the 3 million dollars revenue means the curtailment of programs for slum clearance and development of housing and others that labor members of the legislature have helped provide, but most of all the bill would have set a commission of Alaskans who would control in part operations of the Alaska Bureau of Fisheries"
