Cut I-. Shipping

Alaska Steamship officials said the strike probably would cut off virtually all shipping to territorial ports.
 Union officials said they would picket only boats intending to car " cannery supplies or workers but steamship officials said that the company, as a public service cor poration, could not discriminate be- tween different types of freight or passengers.
 Alaska carriers were to meet in an. effort to get ships moving with commodities other than those bound for the canneries.
 The cannery workers are asking a 20 cent hourly increase over the present 69 cent basic wage, 40. hour week and an increase iron $25 to $50 in standby" pay de- signed to compensate cannery workers idle here while awaiting transportation
 The Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc with whom the cannery worker! are contracted, offered to raise tho standby pay to $40 but rejected tht standby demand.
