 Industry Widely Hif

SEATTLE. May 29-R-Pickets famed out over a wide area in Western Washington today. holding up work on tenders and power scows of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.
 Picketing was by members of Local 7-C, International Longshore- men and Warehoussmen's Union (CIO).
 However, William Gettings, re- gional director of the ILWU said longshoremen had been directed to work vessels of the Alaska Steam ship Company, and cannery sup plies were being received there this forenoon.
 A five-day temporary restraining order against picketing the Alaska Steamship Company, the Ames Ter minals and Alaska docks was issued Saturday by US. District Judge John c. Bowen, in an action filed by the National Labor Relations Board. The judge ruled the picketing constituted secondary boycott.
 Tickets appeared for the first time today at the Alaska Packers on the waterfront. A rowing picket boat was active on Lake Union.
 Other places being picketed in cluded the San Juan Fishing Com- pany and the A. R. Brueger Stikine Fish Company in Seattle; the New England Fish Company in Everett; and the Pacific American Fisheries in Bellingham.
 No meetings have been reported today for negotiations between Local TO and the industry.
 Regional NLRB Director Thomas F. Graham, Jr., said hearing on complaint in connection with the picketing will be conducted here June 6. The complaint against Local 7-C and Local l9 charges un- fair labor practices under secondary boycott.

|TAkU LODGE OPENS
 GALA SEASON; 1S GUESTS ON WEEKEND


 Taku Lodge, sporting haven for .ourists, opened it's twenty seventh season over the past weekend, as i8 "pre-view" guests fished, went glacier-prowling and got sunburned.
 MT. and Mrs. Royal O'Reilly, CO., owners of the Lodge, began their .ourth season at the resort by aking 16 guests from Juneau on their riverboat Redwing, with two others arriving by plane. The lodge can accommodate 35.
 With the O'Reillys tnis year is Jack Campbell. formerly of San Francisco, who remained at the .odge this winter, and raised two St. Bernard dogs, now almost as large as the Redwing, but with considerably more draft.
 Next to the O'Reilly's brand of well known for years to Juneauites, stands the ability of their new chef, Albert "Whitey" Earl, to keep everyone entertained. The music and fun stops only long enough for chuck"
 Earl, formerly head chef at the Hotel St. Regis in New York and the Hotel Sherman in Chicago came to Alaska for a vacation and liked it so we'll decided to make 1t his home. He is graduate of Cornell University, where he maj ored in food and beverage man. agement.
 While several guests went fishing near the Canadian line, others went into Twin Glacier Lake, and others to the famous Hole-in- th- Wall Glacier, which is moving ahead so fast. that it broke its speedometer during the winter.
 O'Reilly, as he took the Redwing into the glaciers face for the first time since last October, found it was from one-quarter to one-half mile closer to the river, and It's force had rolled up the earth be- fore it in enormouse folds. six to eight feet high.
 The phenomenon was examined little too long by the curious visitors, and the outgoing tide put the Redwing out of her element. Rescue of the hungry l3 on board was affected by OReilly and Cpl. Stanley B. Fisher of the AL aska communications Service, w,ic treked barefoot three sloggy miles through the mudflats, in water sometimes to their waists, to sig nal the lodge to send an outboard motor boat for the waiting-and hungry-passengers.
 Names of those who attended the lodges opening weekend are: A. c. Kuehl and George L. Collins of San Francisco; Regina A. Het- fleisch, Betty McCabe, Donna Walsh, Marie Louise Crowell, Marie Bond, Gladys Knight Edith N Moore, Margaret Atkinson, Peg Currie, Archie Campbell, Edy Yet ter, Dorothy Meyers. Mary Ann Stewart, Stanley B. Fisher, and MT and Mrs. William Krasilovsky.

PRELIMINARY PLANS
 FOR ALASKA OFFICE BLDG.' LOOKED OVER

Preliminary Elans for the new Alaska Office Building" to rise in Juneau in the near future were discussed this afternoon by the Board of Administration, the meet ing being called by Frank A. Met calf, ex-official superintendent of public works for the Territory.
 The plans arrived in his office late last week, and will be dis cussed and gone over carefully for several weeks for changes which seem important. They were drawn up by the architectural firm of Foss and Malcolm in Juneau.
 Metcalf said the board would act fast on the plans, as officials wish to get construction started as soon as possible.
 The building will be of five stor- ies and a basement, with it's main entrance on Main Street, with othcr entrances on 4th and 3rd Streets.
 Metcalf didn't say who thought up the name for the new structure, but agreed that it was an excellent choice-the term Territorial Build ing" might be outmoded in the near future, but the new name would take care of any eventuality.
 Board members will discuss any ideas of changes with members of the Territory's staff of officials, prior to putting the stamp of ap- rroval to the drawings. The plans now show the proposed face of the building, and rooms on each floor.
 The board was still in session at press time, so no comments were available from board members as to their ideas concerning the draw ings. Gov. Ernest Gruening, Aud itor Frank A. Boyle, Attorney Gen. eral J. Gerald Williams and Met calf attended the session.

 WASHINGTON = This column is to be buried at Wichita, Kansas to be dug up and read 50 years later.
 The idea of such column was evolved by Dick Long, editor of the Wichita Eagle who is burying a mid-century time cylinder at the Wichita airport. When he first asked me to write column to be read 50 years later, thought it was sort of a crackpot idea. But the more I thought about it, the more I figured this might be a chance to get some things off my chest I've been thinking for some time. So here goes.
 TO THOSE WHO READ THIS IN THE YEAR 20O0:
 This is writeen in 1850, when the world seems very complex, very harassed and very uncertain. ] don't know how much more com plex it will be by the time you read this. But approximately 10( years ago. when my grandfather travelled to Kansas in a prairie schooner, life was much simpler He pitched a tent at night almost anyplace he wished. There were no fences to bother him, no Mo- Trespassing signs, no speed laws no filling stations, no gasoline fumes. And when he got to Kan sas, he was able to settle almost anyplace.
 In the hundred years that have passed since then, we have accel- erated in complexities of life trem- endously. And in the 50 years since my mother used to take me te Kansas as boy, they have become
