Mine Mill Presents Stand

First letter broadside" to Ana
conda Aluminium Co. employees sent
by a union organizer came from
Rudy Hanson, international represen-
tative of the International Union of
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers.
First paragraph was: I'VE take
this opportunity to introduce our
selves, the Anaconda Council of the
International Union Of Mine, Mill
and Smelter Workers. Purpose of
the Council is to unite all Anaconda
workers into a common effort, all
together, so that we can effectively
bargain with this Montana Corpora
ton"
Nov that construction phase Of
the Columbia Falls plant is nearing
an end and production is getting un
derway, the matter of establishing
decent wages, hours and working
conditions becomes top problem fol
all production and maintenance
workers" ),
] Hanson then. points out that his
union had been affiliated with the
AFof L, and had been one of the
CLIO founders, and that now it is af
filiated with neither. The union was
organized in 1898.
He adds: "There is no reason fol
separation of the Columbia Falls
workers from the tens of thousand.
of other Anaconda workers who WorE
in other non-ferrous metals, just be
cause you make aluminium, any
more than workers in brass, lead
zinc and other non-ferrous metal!
would be justified in separate or
ganization just because they dom
make copper. The Anaconda phos
phate workers of Idaho,'' Hanson
stated, "are a part of the AnacOnd;
Council of Mine-Mill because the.
have learned that to bargain effec
lively with the Anaconda Corpora
, ton, we must be organized togeth
er
"Our International Union has tn
largest majority of the non-ferrou
metals industry organized in bot
United States and Canada. We hav
nearly 10000 Anaconda workers i
our Anaconda council, 10000 Q
whom are our members in Mon
tana We have Anaconda OF
ganized, beginning with the worke
: who breaks the ore underground
through the smelling and refinin
process and on into the fabricatin
end of the industry located in Cor
7 necticut and New York. We wan
you to join u.s." Hanson continued
because it will further strengthen u
and at the same time you will hav
+. available the counsel and Strengt
= that it has taken so years to build
eve want you at our bargainin
: table to speak for yourself, not t
: wait for hand-me-down settlement
: after our settlements.
!. Hanson's office is upstairs of tn
r former Anderson grocery in the fOl
" mer IOOF hall.
2 His pitch is that Mine-Mill is tn
: dominant union in organizing the Al
aconda company, therefore local Al
]. aconda employees would benefit b
a being affiliated with his union.

FIRST COMPLETE LUMBER CARGO LEAVES ALASKA FOR A FOREIGN PORT

[ Amid cheers and waving of towns people and the strains of 'Auld Lang Syne,' from the ships loud speaker, the Daido liner KoshO Maru blew her cast-off whistle at four o'clock last Sunday afternoon ic which marks a new phase of All aska's development. The Kosho Maru was carrying complete cargo of Alaska spruce and hemlock from Alaska to a foreign port. Other shipments of lumber have been made from Alas ka but only as part of other cargo. No other cargo was aboard the Ko- sho, her five matches and decks, fore and aft, were piled with lum- per cut by Wrangell Lumber Com pany at it's Wrangell mill. There
 were 3,5OO,0O0 board feet, valued at oyer a million dollars.
 With Capt. T. Tanimoto, master of the vessel, and Capt. Casey" Moran, veteran Alaska pilot, on the
 bridge, two Campbell Towing Co., Jugs nuzzled the sides of the heavy laden vessel and eased her away from the Farwest cannery dock out into Etolin Bay. Then with a farewell toot between the Kosho and tugs, the Japanese liner turned and headed her prov toward Tokyo - her first stop.
 The Kosho's departure was the climax of over years anticipation for the people of Wrangell wait ing for the day when its first ship
 ment of lumber would be made.
 Wrangell Lumber Co. mill had been
 working 1O-hour shifts for several weeks to have the shipment ready. | The mill this week resumed cut | ting to prepare another shipment for the Kosho, or another Daido liner, expected here in late Septem-
 br or early October.
 The Kosho arrived here June A and loading was started the follow
 ing day with five crews, under dir ection of longshore boss Hubert l Wellons, working the five hatches. Fred Smith, of the Bellingham Sevedoring Co.,, who was here for
 the loading, complimented WelIons l+and the local crews on their fine job of loading.
 The Kosho departed Alaska by
 way of Cape Chacon where a pilot
 boat picked up Capt Moran. That i the Kosho was out on the Pacific
 under it's own master by Monday
 morning was indicated in a radio
 from Capt. Tanimoto to Mayor Lew
 Williams which read:
 Thanks to you and your peo-
 pie. Hope for the prosperity of
 Wrangell. Regards to all. Master"
 The trip to Tokyo was expected
 to take 15 days after which the Kosho will also unload lumber at Osaka and Kobe.

TORGESONS CELEBRATE
 25TH ANNIVERSARY WITH STORY IN NEWS-TRIBUNE


 Torgeson celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. That the marriage ceremony, 25 years ago, was something of note, is attested by story recalling it to mind and appearing the other day in the tacoma News-Tribune, written by Ed Garrison, marine editor. It fol- lows:
 There was a time-the late 192O's and early 1930's, to be exact - when stunts were all the rage. Peo- pie set endurance records on flag poles and in planes. College boys ate goldfish by the gross. And mar riage-bent couples chose the dog gondest places for their weddings.
 Tacoma was not excluded in the latter department and this corner can report that the marriage in mind took" Worked out so well, in fact, that the couple in mind are celebrating their 18th anniversary in, you might say, a portion of the church in which they were mar ried, something like 1000 miles from the wedding scene.
 The pair involved are MT. and Mrs. Art Torgeson, sometimes of Tacoma, sometimes of Wrangell, Alaska. Right now it's the latter.
 TorSeson was, and is, a tug boat skipper. On June 28, 193O, it seem ed quite logical he and his bride, V5riie, be married aboard his tug. So that's what happened. As Miss Hunt now Mrs. Robert Strahorn Iof Anchorage - told it, the cere- mony was performed on the stern of the tug Madronna, a tug operat- ed by the Olson Tug Boat Co.,. until she was sold to Ketchikan inter- ests two years ago. The wedding guests stood on the o. G. Olson, an- other tug in the firms fleet.
 Then Miss Hunt wrote: Now Mrs. Torgeson will keep the home. Capt. Torgeson will command his tug and in the evenings, perhaps they will put aside their respective duties and study astronomy. For the ways of the stars are part of captains learning, and what young man would be loath to learn of them first hand?"
 |. We'll, so far as Capt. Torgeson is concerned, things apparently work ed out that way. He's still a skip per.
 But that business of keeping a home hasn't proved a full-time yen- ture for the Mrs.
 This week, somewhere in the Wrangell area, Mrs. Torgeson is cooking. Her kitchen is a tug boat galley. The tug boats captain is named Torgeson. The tug? It's the Karen, now, but the Torgesons re- member her as the o. G. Olson. the tug on which their guests stood during the wedding.
 Mrs. Torgeson's life isn't as bad as the above might lead you to be- lieve, however. Normally she main tains the family home here, but she headed north a few weeks ago to spend the summer in Alaska. She will be back in October. The captain is in his third year as skipper of the Karen. He stays in Tacoma during the winter and heads for his job with the Campbell Towing Go. of Wrangell about Ap- Til l. He will return in November after spending the summer towing logs to a new pulp mill at Ketchi- kan.
 As for that cooking job. It's not permanent. The regular cook want ed some time off. So Mrs. Torgeson is relieving him for ten days.
 After that, the Torgesons will journey up, and down, the fabu- iously beautiful Stikine River.
