of them will be able to make liv- ing at it and the experienced long, shoremen will be driven out.
 Albright said that the president of the Waterfront Employers Asso- ciation at Ketchikan had recently told him that longshore efficiency there has recently increased 30 per cent. This was the result of new and younger men being taken in by the union and t"pmed in long shore work, Albright claimed
 Boss Trouble
 We haven't had much labor trouble in Alaska, but there has heon plenty of boss trouble George Ford, Of the Juneau longshoremen, charged He blamed the employers for most of the present difficulties and asserted that the longshore- men are willing to unload ships after midnight but that the em- ployers are unwilling to pay for it. A minimum of four hours must be paid for all work after midnight, Ford said, and the employers have refused to pay this minimum when only an hour or two of actual work was performed.
 | Ford estimated that the Juneau iongshoremen earn between $2,500 and $3,000 annually apiece It is often hard to get men to do long shore work, especially during the summer, he said, and lot of ' them won't come around to the hall to hire out at all because they are getting $25 a week unemploy- ! ment benefits

 Chris Hennings, who said that he represents between l2,000 and l5,000 CIO union members in AL aska, claimed that the bill if passed would have the opposite effect to ! what was intended. He did not elaborate on this statement, lat 1 implied that ships crews would not cooperate in the program sought to be Set up.

 Tn tie debate which preceded the vote on H. B. 110, Rep. Mpurice Johnson held that the statement oi Attorney General Ralph Rivers should be sufficient to insure pas sage of the bill. He has been to these rate hearings before ard knows what he needs; fl he says he needs this bill, I think we should give 1t to him.
 Rep. Wm. Egan, on the other 1 hand, claimed that no actual guar antees have been made by the steamship companies as to freight rates if the bili passes, and that such promises as have been made are conditioned on several other things beside the passage of this bill.

Coo|idg e Cousin Visits Here
BY BOB KLINE

John Goodhue, ST., first cousin
of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, stopped
over Friday night at the Harbor
Island basin in the Inland Water
way in his IS foot yacht, Katherine
II.
The luxiously- QUILTED boat left
Boston Nov. IA on an extended
cruise to Florida and is on her
way back now.
Goodhue and his crew of three.
George Junkins, captain of GUM
cy, Mass. Leonard Giovannoli, en-
gineer and cook of Boston, Mass,
and Joseph P. Sutz, mate of Niles,
Ohio spent most of the pleasure
cruise in Fl. Lauderdale. Miami,
Fort Myers, Okeechobee, St.
Petersburg, and Port Royal.
When Goodhue was asked how
the fishing is down there now, and
he replied. "Oh, we don't care for
fishing. I know most yachtsmen
60 in for fishing in a big way,
but we just spend III time loafing
around and reading"
Goodhue. who is 80, halls from
Laconia, N. H., home of the fam
Gus Lake Winnipesaukee, which
means in Indian, he explained,
"the smile of the Great Spirit.
And to hear Goodhue is to listen to
the untold beauties that the Great
Spirit has blessed upon the lake.
With heartfelt sincerity he invit-
ed the reporter to visit him at
Lake Winnipsaukee. II know
you'll love it as I do, she said.
Of the Inland Waterway trip,
Goodhue said the canal is well
dredged all the way down aud the
water was smooth except for a 80
mile gale they ran into at Pert
Royal.
Katherine II cost $500, 600
to build, and she spells comfort
from bow to stern. She sleeps
eight in her four carpeted state
rooms, in addition to space for
four crewmen. Goodhue said they
didn't see a single boat that could
KEEP up with her cruising rate Of
Is knots.
About his cousin, Mrs. Calvin
Goodhue Coolidge, he hadn't seen
her for about 10 years, but he al.
ways enjoyed her company. "You
see," he said, cher father AND
mine were brothers, and the last
time I saw her she was five years
older than I am. I guess she still
is five years older"
Yesterday morning Katherine II
pulled away from her moorings
at Wrightsviue terminal and head
ed for Moorehead City, where
| Goodhue plans to lay over today.
