.CANNERY PRICE AND WAGE FORMULA IN
 DISPUTE AGAIN

SEATTLE - -AP- Two fisher mems union leaders joined this week in challenging the grounds of a Federal commission charge oI price-fixing in the Alaska Salmon Industry.
 The commissions complaint. re- leased late Monday, charges the in- dustry and unions with illegal price fixing in their negotiations for fish prices annually in the var. ious Alaska districts. IL charges thal the negotiations by caunerie. through the Alaska Salmon Indus. try. Inc, also constituted a con. spiracy among the cauners.
 The complaint named 43 canning companies, II fishermen's unions the AsI and it's managing director ". c. Arnold of Seattle.
 Robert D. Cummings. secretary of Local 8, of the Fisheries Division of the International L3ngshore. mems and Warehousemen's Union tIndD, said his union contends the fishermen who catch and deliver the fish to the canners are paid Il. workers, so that the price they ne gotiate for their fish amounts t1 their scale of pay.
 George Johansen, leader of the Alaska Fishermen's Union. GndD also expressed the opinion the ETC complaint won't hold water against AFU members.
 Arnold, the industry spokesman commented:
 ''The matter has been under con sideration and investigation by gov ernment agencies almost continu- ously since 1942, when similar bar gaining agreements on the Colum- bia River were held illegal
 In 1946 the Department of Jus tice considered the matter as it af- fected Alaska and concluded to take no action at that time, although the Attorney General reserved the right to commence a civil proceed ing to test the validity of the fish price agreements at any future date"
 Arnold described the controversy as hinging on the issue of whether fishermen who catch the salmon and sell them to the cannery are employees of the cannery or inde- pendent operators.
 Hearing will be held January IS in Seattle.

WRANGELL INSTITUTE NEWS Q e Q
By J. Lester Minner

The first Thanksgiving feast, 332 years ago, was a success largely because of the part played in it by the Indians. Those who point out with pride that their ancestors .came to America on the MayfloWer might do we'll to reflect that, as Will Rogers said, the Indians an- cestors were already here waiting for them when they landed. But, that is not all. The Indians were waiting with good will and kind ness, and it was only because of that the Pilgrims lasted through the first terrible winter or that they were able to have the good crops for which they gave thanks at the joint feast of Thanksgiving the following fall. In a very real sense it was the Indians of Massa- chusetts who were the hosts and the Pilgrim fathers who were the guests at that famous three-day feast.
 At WrangelI Institute this year the boys and girls were, like their ancestors of long ago, able to be host to their teachers and other members of the staff at the Thanks giving feast.
 The dinner menu reflected the gifts of the North American Ind ian to the world. Roast turkey and dressing, giblet gravy, mashed po- tatoes, whole kernel corn, relish dish, cranberry sauce, bread and butter, pumpkin pie with ice cream and fruit punch were served at at- tractively decorated family style tables. There were lighted candles on each table.
 Children in no homes in the land could have come more attractiyely dressed or could have behaved with better table manners.
 The children at Wrangell Insti- tute enjoyed this Thanksgiving not only the finest food most attractive ly served but with it they had fel- lowship and affection. They had that sense of belonging to a closely knit family group which is the heart of Americas most cherished holiday.

PROGRESS REPORTED
 ON PACIFIC NORTHERN TIMBER PLANT HERE

WASHINGTON AZ The chief of the Forest Services timber man agemont division voiced hope this week for a new program develop ment of AIaska's vast timber stands.
 Ira Mason, just back from a trip to the Pacific Northwest, said the impetus could come from any one of three groups which have propo- sals for moving into the northern Territory.
 The president of one of these groups - an organization of Japan ese Iumbermen - is to arrive in the United States Dec. g. Mason said, and is expected in Washing ton a short time later, presumably to go into further details on the Japanese plans.

Meets With Lumbermen

Mason said he met with officials of the other two groups as an in- cidental part of his northwest trip. They are the Georgia Pacific Com pany, which wants to build a S54,- .174,O9O newsprint plant near Jun eau, and the Pacific Northern Tim Der Co.,, of Portland, Ore, which proposes a $4,502,57O sawmiu near Wrangell Alaska.
 Asked if it appeared likely that any of the three projects would jeI within the next 12 months, the Forest Service spokesman had no direct answer.
 None of them is to the point where it is assured, but all of them are being worked on," he replied.
 Both Georgia Pacific and Pacific Northern Timber have been grant ed permission by the Office of De- fense Mobilization to write off 40 per cent of their proposed costs over a five-year period. Pacific Nor thern already has been granted an extension until next May of it's or iginal six-month certification.
