UNION REQUESTS
 OFFICIAL CHECK
 ON RELIEF SHIPS

SEATTLE, Oct. 9.-Future Alaska relief ships" will be required to undergo certification by city and Federal officials that cargoes are strictly relief items before they are released by striking committee for maritime unity workers, ACMU chairman Burt Nelson advised Ter ritorial Governor today.
 The Governor had advised GNU officials that southeast Alaska soon will need fresh supplies of food and livestock feed
 Nelson told the Governor that the union membership is fed up with seeing strikes prolonged and hampered by such double crossing and is strongly against future clear ances", F4
 The GNU wire to the Governor said in part:
 Relief ship clearances used in each case to harm our strike by using as ruse to carry on business as usual such as case of SS Cor dova. Membership fed up with sec ing strike prolonged and hampered by such double-crossing and strong ly against future clearances.
 "Only change of clearance is of ship carrying food and stock feed only with understanding you and Mayor of Seattle and someone from Department of Interior check cargo going aboard to protect us from double-cross by Alaska Steamship Company.
 Unless this is done we doubt clearance possible. We are in de- plorable condition-caught between alleged needs of Alaskans and schemes of shipowners which ham, per our strike efforts"
 Alaska Steamship Company offi- cials said the company has made no request for further ship clear ances. The company is serving as general agent for the Maritime Commission, spokesmen explained, and as agent has no right to refuse regular Alaska freight booked for shipment north.
