will kill the bill.
It must pass unanimously. But
this seems quite likely In view of the
fact that, historically, major opposi-
ton to such a law has come from
West Coast states. Today. the states
are among the most ardent boosters
for equality in our naturalization
laws.

iANNERY WORKERS
 GOING TO POLLS

Polling places in the represen- tation election for salmon industry workers in the Juneau area opened at 10 am. today ip the City Hall Council Chambers. Polls will close at pm. this afternoon and re- open tomorrow morning from 10 to 4.
 Eligible to vote are all resident cannery workers employed by mem- bers of the Alaska Salmon Indus try, Inc, in Southeast Alaska who worked at least five days in the l948 season or three days in the 1949 season.
 In the Empire yesterday it was said "The ballot will include only AFL and no union.'"
 The ballot does not read mo un- ion" since another Union already has the bargaining rights as a result of winning the l946 NLRB election and having been certified thereafter. Since the election i'll l946 the FTA-CIO has been the certified bargaining agent and has each year since negotiated with the Alaska Salmon Industry for all resident cannery workers employed by member companies of the A.S.I
 The ballot in this election reads as follows DO you wish to be rep resented for the purposes of col lective bargaining by- the AFL- (YES) or (NO)." The FTA-CIC contends that since their union is not on the ballot that no vote is a vote for their union The CIO union has completed negotiations with the Alaska Sal mon Industry for an agreement tc cover all resident cannery work CTS in the Southeastern District The settlement won an increase of seven cents an hour and increases as high as Sl6 for the seasonal guarantee with other minor con- tract changes.
 This agreement is to continue in effect until April 30, 1850.
