LOOKS FOR GOOD SALMON
 PACK FROM ALASKA
WASHINGTON MI.

WASHINGTON - Milton C. James of the Fish and Wildlile service. said this week that the big news from Alaska is the 'rath- lr good Bristol Bay salmon pack of 1.40O.0o0 cases. almost double last years catch.
 James said the large Bristol Bay catch reflected a large eseapemeut resulting from the suspension Of northern Alaska fishing in l942. after the outbreak Of war. The seu or soekeyc salmon has a fiye-year lie cycle.
 By contrast, the pink salmon or Southeastern Alaska has a tWo- year cycle Furthermore. South eastern Alaska fisheries continued to operate during the war even af- ter northern fisheries were cut of.
 "The Southeastern Alaska run had barely started when ] left. James said It presented a vary. ing pictures from fairly good to lair prospects All in all, there IS every likelihood for a total salmon Ipack for Alaska materially larger chan last year but perhaps nor greater chan the l0-year average. %
 James devoted most of his Alag- kan tour to the Anchorage. Kodiak and Bristol Bay areas.

Of Records

Chicago-UPA)-The American
Federation of Musicians-AFL exc
cutive council was expected to give
its answer to the Taft Hartley law
here this week by instructing it's
members thruout the country to
stop making records or transcript
tions for radio or juke boxes on
Dec. 81.
AIM President James C. Petrillo
proposed the move after the Taft
Hartley law prohibited unions from
receiving royalties from employers.
Contracts expiring on Dec. 81 pro-
vide fees ranging from one-quarter
of "a cent on records selling for 35c
to &c on one selling for $2 These
fees are reputed to have brought
the AIM about $3,0O0,000 which
has been used "to spread musical
culture and to give employment to
musicians who have been put out of
work by the records we have been
making"
The Taft Hartley ban applies
only to contracts signed after June
%. In anticipation of repitition
of 1912 dispute which continued
for II months, record companies
here and in New York have been
working overtime for six months
building up stockpiles. Basic to the
dispute is the established fact that
Scanned music" has made enormous
inroads on the employment of the

We've Of Strikes Bear Out
Prediction I dft-H drtleY
Low Would Provoke Strife

San nFrancisco-(ILNS)-With
strikes i'm as many states in prog
ress-all called the day after the
Aug. % ft-Hartley Law deadline
and several others apparently in
evitable, the Upholsters' Interna-
tional Union faces by far the great
est wave of walkouts in its 55-year
history.
Pointing out that never before
has the UIU had so many strikes
under way, Sal B. Hoffman,, in
ternational president, asserted his
organization in the past has enjoy
ed a record almost unsurpassed for
gaining better conditions for it's
members through amicable rela-
tions with employers, and without
even the threat of strike action.
New Law Blamed
''It is only s.hce the new labor
law went fully into effect" said
Hoffman,, who was attending the
AFL convention here, "that the
UIU has had to resort to tieups of
plants in any great number.
"The situation as it now exists,
and is rapidly developing, bears out
my prediction that the Taft Hartley
law, under its present interpreta-
tion and administration, would not
promote labor peace, but would
provoke strikes"
1.-The Upholsterers' International
Union has $500 contracts with en-
ployers in the furniture, mattress
and bedding, casket, canvas, and
decorative and related industries,
and regards strikes as only the
last resort in dealing with recall
citrant employers. No walkout can
be called without full deliberation
and approval by the international
Officers"
UIU strikes are under way in
Spokane, Wash; Hanover, Pa;
Butte, Mont; Coldwater, o.; Salem,
Va; Huntington, w. Va, and Au-
rora, Ind.
To Fight For Repeal
