FOURTH CLEANUP

Inadvertently. the announcement of the second most original float in the Fourth of July parade was omitted from yesterdays July Fourth account in the Empire. This honor went to the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood.
 The float represented a large war canoe bearing potlatch-bound na- tives colorfully dressed in tribal costumes, singing and with Ra- ven doing the Raven dance.
 Girls Photographed
 Two much photographed girls were Lorna Lattery representing circus bareback rider on Banner, a shetland pony owned by Curtis H. Sherwood, and Carol Peterson of the Juneau Diaries who rode mule named Elmer Lorna was raised on Canadian ranch but both girls have been trained here by Sherwood.
 Just Overlooked
 Overlooked was the Aux Bay float representing community serv- ice. Post Commander George Can tillon and Vice Commander Floyd Ogden held the post colors Three Legionaires, Erwin Hagerup. J. l. Noble and Clarence Mosher manned the shovels.
 Pony Rides
 Pony rides on the Sherwood shet- lands at the Fun Zone were spon- sored by the Winfield Home which received half of the proceeds.
 That Photo Booth
 Lions, not Rotarians, operated the photograph booth at the Fourth of July fun zone, had a lot of fun-and lot of work, they say.
 Rotary's contribution to the Fourth of July celebration was participation in the Queen Contest and in the Fourth of July parade.

MEMORANDUM FROM ALASKA SALMON INDUSTRY, INC.
 RE BRISTOL BAY

Because there are bound to be repercussions from sincere people as well as political opportunists, we of the salmon industry want to state our case as clearly as possible.
 "One thousand native Alaska cannery workers are losing a sea- sons work and wages in the Bris- tol Bay canneries. Those who had left their villages for the canneries have been returned to their homes. The native workers were replaced by other workers so that the valu- able red salmon pack could be processed.
 Some people will argue that these natives got along before cannery operations opened on Bristol Bay. They will point out that the na- tives subsisted prior to 1922 with out salmon cannery wages. This is true. But during the past nine years these people have been able to raise their living standards be- |
 cause of the cash brought in by the members of their families who worked in the canneries.
 without this money somewhat in excess of $600,000 for a short fishing season, these natives will be forced to do without many things that have become necessities to them in recent years. Further more, a large part of this S600,000 would have been spent in village trading posts. These traders, like wise will feel the economic pinch. And the $600,000 will leave Alaska in the pockets of nonresident workers.
 we recognize that the Territory needs more-not less-payrolls. It is a severe blow when Alaska s largest industry is forced to re-

Due to fright and excitement on the night of the third, I was not able to thank anyone who helped make me Queen.

 Of course I have not forgotten everyone that so loyally bought tickets to support me. You have all made this the happiest and incest 4th of July I have ever had. Sincerely,

The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-07-06

National Labor Relations Board was created to handle such matters. It has ordered an election among the fishermen. Both unions opposed this election.
 2. FISH PRICES In Bristol Bay fishermen use company boats and equipment They work on the ships and in the canneries as well as fish. Therefore, Bristol Bay fish prices are considered by both Federal and Territorial agencies to be wages and under the control of |the Wage Stabilization Board. "A 259o increase in fish prices over 1s50-subject to the approval Iof the Wage Stabilization Board has been offered to both unions. Although the 259o increase is in excess of the l09c increase per- mitted by national formula, the Industry has petitioned the federal agency for approval.
 The AF.U. accepted this offer and went to work. But Downey re- jected it and attempted to use the native cannery workers as a lever
 Naturally this dispute has been costly to the industry. The Nusha- gak canneries, that have been en- ploying native workers exclusively, are idle.
 Such are the gambles of an in- dustry. Perhaps another season will make up the losses of individual canneries. But the 1000 natives have little hope of recovering a seasons wages sacrificed in struggle for power by competing labor leaders.

 Dear Sir:
 This letter is just partial ex- planation of what is happening to the people of Alaska, caused by the controlled monoplies of the outside interests.
 "The A.S.I. (Alaska Salmon h. dustry) did not see fit to negotiate with the two recognized and bonafide unions, the Boring Sea Fishermen's Union and the local Cannery Workers which is recog-. nized by the N.L.R.B.
 "The ASI. has sent outside for approximately 120 cannery workers. Twenty have arrived already. The controlled AFU. members from the outside went through the pie ket lines.
 Some of our local fishermen have also gone through. But there are still twenty of us resident fish ermen who are stranded in the Libby's Koggiung cannery.
 We have sent a wire to the Governor to see if he can send us transportation to our respective homes hoping he can help US. His reply should be here this afternoon if he intends to answer at all
 The local cannery workers No. 46 were sent home because of striking in order to get a contract with the A.S.I.
 "The BS.FU. are still on strike. The A.S.I. who controls the largest Independent Union who operates in the Territory has complete dis regard for the Alaska membership. The agent for their controlled unions secretary treasurer stated. Because the B.S.F.U. is on strike and wants to improve conditions and prices it is against organized labor.
 Hell could keep on writing let ter after letter, if I had the ln- telligence to do so. Hoping you can help us.

Seek Raise For Nearly All U. }. Employees

WASHINGTON, Oct. IT. R = House conferees sought agreement today on terms of a compromise bill to raise the pay of most gov ernment workers somewhere around $400.000,00O a year.
 Benefiting would be hundreds of thousands of government employees in Washington and other areas. Not covered are postal workers and blue collar workers paid on an hourly basis.
 The same conferees yesterday reached agreement on bill to hand the 450,000 postal workers a $25O,- 100000 to $225, 100000 a year pay hike. The measure now awaits Sen- ate action.
 The conference committee has before it House-passed bill pro- posing 446,000,000 year boost in the pay of the non-postal work CTS, and Senate bill which would limit the total to about $384, ,000,- 900 year.
 Members said they thought the differences were not irreconcilable.

Wind Breaks Moorinq Of Three Boats in
 Small Boat lAarbor

High winds caused three boats to break loose from their moorings this morning at the Small Boat Harbor.
 The vermarco, owned by Art Kin nan. was tied to float one with the Sunmore, John Winther, Jr., and the Sentinel, Vincent Anderson, tied on the outside. Lin Geiger, harbormaster, saw the three boats floating away from the float about 7:45 am.
 The mail boat Yakobi, owned by Walter Sperl, went after the boats and tied them to the dolphin at the entrance of the harbor The owners were called as well as the Coast Guard A shore boat was sent from the Storis to help in taking the boats back into the harbor.
 Winther and Anderson were able to board their boats and take them back to the float under their own power. The Storis shore boat had to take the vermarco down the channel toward the Northern Com mercial Company before it was able to turn the Vermarco around to take it back to float one.
 There was no damage reported to the three boats.
