L0NGSH0RE CONTRACTS UNDER DISCUSSION

JUNEAU-A basic wage rate to conform to that established on the Pacific Coast, plus a 10 per cent raise in differential pay is demanded by the International LOngshoremen and Warehousemen's unions at Al aska ports, in the negotiations for renewal of contracts for 1853, under way this week in Juneau. Present contracts expire June 15.
 Meeting here with Germain Bull cke, vice president of the ILWU, In dependent, of San Francisco and rep esentatives of the Alaska unions are Alaska Steamship Company's op- erating manager, J. F. Zumdieck, L. S. Wesson. chief clerk in its op- erating division, and U. w Killings worth, vice president of the Ketchi kan Wharf Company.
 Bulcke said the present wage rate for ILWU Iongshoremen in Alaska is S2.67 straight time for six hour day. This rate over the $2.10 basic wage now in effect on the Pacific Coast includes 175a cents in lieu of pensions and eight cents in place of paid vacation, plus a 15 percent diff ferential for the higher cost of living in the Territory.
 A wage review is now being ne gotiated in the 1853 contracts for ILWU Pacific Coast states longshore- men. and if demands are met by em- ployers, would change the basic rate in Alaska Pacific Coast unions are asking a 12 cent across the board wage raise over the s2.10 per hour rates, plus a one cent an hour raise over the seven cents allowed for welfare.
 Bulcke said the request for a raise in differential paid longshoremen from 15 to 25 percent is based on the increased higher cost of living in Alaska, and to conform to the 25 percent differential paid federal employees in the Territory
 The ILWU vice president said va cation and pension pay are included in the wage rates in Alaska due to the fact working conditions vary to the extent that these factors are not practical in effect. Lack of suf- ficient all year round shipping does not warrant sizeable crews for change offs for vacation schedules, and longshore employees usually dc not work long enough periods to meet basic qualifications required for pension benefits.
 In addition to negotiations for the 1853 contracts various requirements in working conditions are being dis cussed
 So far the negotiations in Juneau have not progressed beyond the dis cussion stage.
 The Alaska Steamship Company representatives are asking for { general review in the use of man power in longshore work, looking forward to a general reduction du, to innovations of power equipmen in operations.

We're Being Chided

Sid Charles, that illustrious and rugged individualist editor of the Ke.chikan Daily News, is attempting to give our town a bad time. Sid has been following the Wrangell Salmon Derby standings as presented weekly in The Sentinel Reviewing the situation with it's comparatively small salmon, he suggests some of us might go down and catch a few "real' kings down around Ketchi- kan, where they seem to school up.
 Them's the minnows, Sid. We just let them go by up here to give Ketehikan a break. Like a fellow on the river the other day who caught one that weighed 6S pounds.
 Too small" said he, as he tossed fl overheard: send him on down to Ketchikan for bait They need it. Hear they got another strike on; now it's the restaurants. Fish nor fishermen ain't got chance in that town"

 THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Three Stories

We'll, the upshot of the probe in Juneau last week when the Legis- lative Examination and Investiga- ting Committee got together is quite a ramifieation Of reports. At the moment We have three. One from the Daily Alaska Empire in Juneau, quoting chairman Herald D. Stringer, a member of the Territorial House of Representatives. Another We cul- led out of Sid Charles very reliable Ketchikan Daily News, credited to Rep. William Boardman. a member of the committee. The third is just what is usually labeled a press release, which seems to outline about the same information. All said about the same thing; that the committee hired Jack B. Wilcox, an eX-FBI man. now an accountant in Seattle, to do some probing for the committee.
 Alerted that we had a member of the committee in town-Senator James Nolan-we got our best re portial approach operating and asked some questions of the Senator. Said he;
 This committee at it's inception agreed that there would be only one official statement out of any action this committee might take. l abide by the agreement"
 Chairman Stringer's report ap- parently was the official statement. so they hired Mir Wilcox the former head of the Federal Bureau of In vestigation in Seattle to delYe into Territorial affairs.
 Mr. Wilcox is now in the account ing business in Seattle and a few contacts in Alaska won't do any harm. Particularly in view of the fact that the 1853 Legislature ap- prOpriated $75,0O0 Cseventy five thousand dollars) for paying the way of the legislative committees s investigation, and it is assumed one does not hire Mir. Wilcox for peanuts. Mir. Wilcox is a competent man and an expert accountant.
 What else the Legislative Examin- ation and Investigating Committee is going to do with it's appropriation is not immediately announced by Chairman Stringer. We wait with bated breath for the 1854 elections. Meanwhile, following Senator No lan's example, we abide by the press releases, and hope for the best.
