Taking advantage of the Taft
Hartley Law, ousted officers of Lo-
cal 7, Eta CLIO, who arc exposed
as industry stooges by the mem
bership, have now resorted to the
Courts for action-asking Judge
Jones of the Superior Court to dis
solve the Union for them where
the stooges failed to do before the
locals membership.
After two years Of rank and file
struggle to GUST their officers from
a continuous all-out to the Alaska
Salmon Industry and gangsterism
perpetrated against the rank and

Administrative Committee, acting
for the International, ordered an
election to conform with the local
constitution In the meantime, the
ousted officers have conducted an
intensive campaign in all the can

at the same time have entered their
names in the Union Ballot. AS a
result of the election, the industry

their attention while the Justice

1t is to be recalled that early
last week the California Supreme
Court in a four to three split de-
cision ruled the State could deny
to Japanese aliens licenses in COM
mercial fishing as a conservation
measure. Attorney wirin, now in
Washington to argue the Oyama
alien land law case before the Uni
ted States Supreme Court, dis
cussed the interest of the JACL
and the ADO in this subject and
urged that the Washington office
intervene because the rights of
some Japanese were being violated.
Because the JACL and its legis-
lative committee are interested in
every case involving the fundamen-
tai rights of persons of Japanese
ancestry in the United States, Ma
saoka agreed to make the necessary
representations to the cabinet Of
ficers.
The Los Angeles law firm of Wi
