TACOMA RECOGNIZES
 WRANGELL'S POSSIBILITIES
 IN CEDAR LOG SHIPMENTS

Arrival of the GrOmmet ReeTer in Tacoma last Wednesday with a cargo of. 1900 cedar poles for the Cascade Pole Company there, of which Vic Monahan is President, awakened in The City of Destiny the possibilities of trade between the Puget Sound city and Alaska.
 In front page stories in the Tacoma News-Tribune and Tacoma Times, accounts were given of the arrival of the Grommet Reerer carrying 1000 tons of ore from the Taku-Polaris mine near Juneau besides the poles from WrangeH
 It is a pioneer achievement, :" the Tacoma Times quoted Kenneth M Kennell head of the Shaffer terminals as saying. Mr. Kennell added that the arrival was one Of the most important in the histroy of Taeoma's port.
 Included in the cargo of coH centrates and poles also were 2,0O0 feet of yellow cedar lumber, the first to reach the Northwest from Alaska. This. wood is valuable in making plates for wet cell bat teries and is highly regarded in furniture manufacture.
 Shipment of the poles and yell low cedar is the elimination of a dream and years of effort on the part of F. G. Hanford, here who in 1941 recognized the value of ex- port of the cedar poles for use as telephone poles in the states He spent generously of his own funds in promoting the industry for the town and last year was successful in interesting Vic c. Monahan, of the Cascade Pole Company in Ta- coma in buying poles. This first shipment of 160O poles is only the first in what is hoped will be a steady trade between Wrangell and the Tacoma plant. MT Hanford also has worked extensively on promoting cottonwood and birch markets. He has yisioned a thriY- ing plywood industry from the cottonwood on the Stikine and test samples MT. Hanford has had made up show a plywood of unusual strength and durability.
 Mir Monohan, who was in Wran- gell while, the cedar poles were be- ing loaded aboard the Grommet Reefer, has ordered an almost un- limited supply and it is expected the Alaska Transportation Comp any ships will make regular calls here to pick up the cargoes.

PRESIDENT GREEN REFUSES TO CALL AFL
 GENERAL STRIKE

AFL President William Green yesterday rejected pleas from mem Der unions for a general strike Tn protest against the new Taft Hartley labor law but the Federa- ton served notice it would chal- 1enge promptly the legality 0 f some of the bills provisions.
 Green turned down the general strike proposal as work stoppages in the coal fields and a strike an 10 east coast shipyards boosted the number of strike-idle in the nation to more than 262,O0O.
 AFL General Counsel Joseph A. Padway said some 75 AFL lawyers would meet in Washington this week end and pool their ideas on which sections of the new labor bill are clearly unconstitutionaI.
 Curtailed operations in steel mills and railroads and other coal using industries resulted in ray offs of an unestimated number of workers.
 More than half the country's 100000 soft coal miners - an es- timated 222.0OO were away from their jobs, most of them in protest of the Taft Hartley labor law.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

Some residents of Seattle had fought bitterly the certificating of an air line from the middle west to Alaska Northwest from Min neupoIis to Anchorage). Some resi- dents of Seattle had through strikes, shipping tieups and work stoppages paralyzed Alaska for three months last fall and when Alaska merchants began getting their invoices they learned to their dismay there was an item known as standby time' with which they Were being stuck. This was time being tackled on Alaska pills when trucks had to line Up at Seattle piers and wait their turn to get onto the docks. It ran into inn uGrtant money on some shipments. On top of this, Alaskans learned that some residents of Seattle had obtained monopoly to operate steamships to the Territory and as of May 21, freight rates skyrocket- ed a neat 65 per cent on most items These sort of things coming on top of years of being mOnopOl- ized by business operated out of Seattle and often paying what Las been known as the Alaska price just a little higher than paid else where, had aroused in Alaska very definite spirit of antagonisn toward Seattle. Business leaders If the Queen City of Washington had begun to realize it. Alaska, their s,, As,I mood and something ought to be done about it.
 This week a party of Seattle business men representing the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and headed by chipper Mayor William F. Devin arrived in Alaska on al good will' mission; to cement a little friendly feeling Aboard the Baranof, the good-willers made Ketehikan, Juneau and went on to the Westward - Valdez, CordoYa, Seward, Anchorage and Fairbanks, planning to return in a couple of weeks for another back-slap for Southeast towns before going on home. Affable, fair-thinking Bill Devin was their ace in the hole. Able newspaperman Ross Cunning ham, Associate Editor of the Seat tie Times, was along to record the reactions and spread the word through the columns of what Ross t22-la:.z-s is Seattle's biggest news paper
 They were greeted and cock tailed in the various ports, butt Devin and Cunningham were look ing for more. They wanted the reasons why Alaska was irked. At a midnight conference with Gov Ernest Gruening in Juneau which their vessel was in port, they got some of the answers they sought in a resume of Alaska's tribula- tions, not all brought about by some Seattle attitudes, but many which could be corrected if the Seattle attitude became one of ad- yancing the interests and economy of the Territory, rather than one too often revealed of raping Alaska to fill Seattle coffers
 Seattle, strategically located as it is to Alaska, will always get the bulk of Alaska business, the Gov ernor pointed out. But must 1t have all? Must it openly oppose, or through non-action hinder the very things which will develop and improve the economy of the Territory? Would not an Alaska with twice or three times it's pre- sent population bring more busL ness to Seattle? Would not the development of the pulp and paper

industry in Alaska be more bene- ficial to Seattle than letting the lumber go to rot as it is doing by the millions of feet at present? Would not Alaska as a state, free of many of its present restrictions, be a better trade area for Seattle than a sparsely populated Terri tory? Would not Alaska shed Of some of its absentee government, unionism be a better and more profitable neighbor than an Alaska squirming under the heel of mon. cpoly and Outside interests?
 Bill Devin agreed. There isn't thing you've said that we can't go along with" said Editor Gun, ningham. And we'll see if we can't get some action on it." add ed the Mayor Devin, who thougnt Seattle and Washington state should get back of Alaska state hood. Heretofore, the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has taken no part in statehood. Art Ganson of the Chamber said it hadn't been asked.
 If Seattle could outgrow its pro vincialism and develop a few more attitudes like Mayor Devin's ratn- CT than the old selfishness of I've want all, the strained feeling now existing would disappear and as Alaska prospered so would Seat. tie. However so long as Seattle continues it's attitude of appearing to step on the throttle through lip service, meanwhile keeping its other foot on the brake against any Alaska development which doesn't go over the pier in Seattle the situation will not be remedied, but rather. will w0rsen.
