territory. The specific charge against the Prince Rupert local on its refusal to unload the barges is still under consideration
 Statement By Paul
 William L. Paul, Jr., attorney for the ILWU-CIO, Local 16, issu- ed the following statement. Ma tional Labor Relations Board has refused to file charges in four out of five alleged violations against International Longshoremen's and WarehouSemens Union, Local l6, as result of the hearing held in Juneau last September and oral argument before the Board in Washington, D. C., on January 6. On the remaining charge formal complaint has been filed by the General Counsel of NLRB and a hearing ordered for August p in Juneau. One of the charges by Juneau Spruce Corporation on which the Board refused to file a complaint is the alleged refusal of the CIO Longshoremen's Union at Prince Rupert to unload barges from the local sawmill.
 An ILWU representative said today that the September hearing was much like preliminary hear. ing and the evidence offered by the Union at that time was of a general nature. At the August 9 hearing it is expected that the Union will be able to present com- plete and detailed evidence on longshoring activities from 1887 to date" Paul concluded.
 BoOchever's Statement
 Robert Boochever, of the firm of Faulkner, Banfield and Boochever, attorneys for the Juneau Spruce Corporation, made the following statement on the situation:
 The information which has been received to date on the Juneau Spruce Corporation dispute with the ILWU is not complete, but it is highly significant that the NLRB has now issued complaint, as a result of hearings before the Board. alleging that the Local 16. ILWU, has committed an un- fair labor practice in it's strike against the company. This com- plaint was issued as a result of ex- haustive hearings held in Juneau, and review of the evidence by the NLRB ill Washington.
 No opinion as yet has been forthcoming from the NLRB on the complaint of the Juneau Spruce Corporation against the ILWU, ac- cusing them of unfair labor prac- tices and the matter is still un- der advisement by the Board In regard to the portion of the charges accusing the Longshore- men of unfair labor practices in refusing to unload lumber at Prince Rupert no complaint has been is- sued by the Board as yet, but this matter is also still under advise ment in regard to the allegation that the ILWU conduct constituted an unfair labor practice under Sec tion 8b4D of the National Labor Relations Act, dealing with juris- dictional disputes. Due to a lack of complete evidence and difficult ties in securing the same in foreign jurisdiction no NLRB complaint will be issued charging unfair labor practices in regard to the refusal to unload lumber in Prince Ru- pert.
 "The Juneau Spruce Corporation hopes that since the NLRB has now issued it's complaint definitely that the present strike in Juneau constitutes an unfair labor practice, the Longshoremen will see fit to remove their picket line SO as to enable numbering and log ging operations in Southeast Alaska to be resumed at the earliest pos- sible date"
