Al Weathers’ new t, which looks like a minia- ture Coast Guard Ship, the “once over.” Capt. Weathers, who has been a Juneau resident for more than 20 years, explained to an Empire,re-| porter this afternoon that the Al Jr., is something new in the way of fish vessels The trim craft was ouilt in Se- attle this winter by Andrew B. Berg of the Canal Ship and D"ydmk‘ Company, and is one of three smh‘ vessels constructed this season bv‘ that firm. Another is now at Sitka | and followed the Al, Jr., up the| dInside Passage on her maiden \o)-l age. The Sitka craft is owned by Capt. Ekhrol Hansen. Still Mmthr‘x,) the Banner, is owned by Capt. Tom | Bravik and may come here soon These ships all are salmon trollers. However, the first all-metal hull to be built by the Seattle concern was the C. S. F., a T4-foot seiner nou being operated out of Cordova. It was constructed a year ago. | “Finest,” Is Boast | Of the three trollers, the Al, Jr.| is the most efficiently equipped for| living quarters and it is Capt.| ‘Weathers' proud boast that “it is the finest salmon troller in Alas- | ka." Pacific Coast shipping publi- \ cations have given the Weathers' vessel much publicity in articles and pictures. The Al, Jr., built at a total cost of $8,500, has an overall length of | 44 feet, 3 inches, and has a beam of | 12 feet, 6 inches. Its all-metal con- struction, in which no rivets were| used, lends a permanence and add- ed strength not found in wood ‘hulls. The ship has a double bottom, in which are tanks which hold 1,000} |sen’s Vivian.

The amount due today was $812,- 000,000 by twelve European nations Finland is to pay $165,453, meeting all of that nation’s war debt due to date. | equipment is just as modern. Bunks | are arranged to sleep four persons, | and with Capt. Weathers in his fishing this summer will be his| wife, his son, after whom the vessel | | was named, and Mert Benedict. | Special Stove Mrs. Weathers will be able to do come plain and fancy cooking on a special electrically-driven diesel oil range designed and built by A.| B. Fisher at the N. and S. Foundry‘ in Seattle. The . Weathers family and Bene- dict, who formerly was employed in a Juneau grocery store, arrived | here on the new craft yesterday | morning. The ship will clear port for the deep as this afternoon.

New Features The motor has several new pat- ented features, including a welded England firm for the same priccv as paid the others, 5 and 3 Lcnh\ per pound.

A new type generator, and| a high pressure pump which assures equal firing, are other new devices. The motor gives the ship a good' eight knots' speed. Its economical operation is evidenced in the fact | that the trip from Seattle was made on $6 worth of di oil, Capt. Weathers said. Another interesting item of equip- ment is the power winch up for- ward. This winch operates 125 fath- oms of one-half inch cable, 25 at the C. W. Carter Mortuary, the Rev. O. L. Kendall officiating.

Plunder RREan I%-lll o ARG AN o o [ e vid //a m7 A STATEMENT from the A.J. Following the vote taken at the City Hall in which a majority of the men voted in favor of re- turning to work, the following “conditions of em- ployment” were submitted to the Alaska Mine Work- ers’ Union as the basis on which work could be resumed. CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT 1. The conditions of employment will be posted on the bulletin boards but no agreement with any labor organization will be signed. 2. We will meet the employees’ representatives on grievances and complaints. 3. Each committee will be recognized as rep- resenting that number of employees they actually do represent; and their grievances or complaints will be considered in accordance with the number of em- ployees they represent. 4. Members of a committee must be selected by free choice of the group they represent and must be chosen by vote without coercion or intimidation. 5. No committee will be recognized as the ex- clusive bargaining agency for all the employeés. 6. In the event of a discussion of matters of interest to, and affecting all employees, each group will be given representation, in accordance with the size of the group. If there be more than one group represented in a general committee, each sub-com- mittee shall have a membership on the general com- mittee pro-rata to the number of men each member represents, 7. There will be no general discrimination against employees because of their labor affiliations; nor any other unfair or unjust reasons; but the company must reserve the right to exercise suffi- cient discrimination in such matters to protect the majority. 8. The employer’s obligations are clearly under- stood and its responsibilities are established. Organi- zations of employees can rightly be required to Qh- serve the same ethical and moral responsibilities even though they are not specifically prescribed by statute. In this connecction, if grievances of com- plaints are submitted to the Company, we shall ex- pect that a full discussion of the same will be per- mitted by all employees, and before any strike or walkout is called by any commitiee or any group, it will be done enly upon a vote of a majority of all cmployees, and after all have been given an oppor- tunity to express their own choice, unmolested and witheut coercion. LYZED indicates that a large majority of the employees wish to return to work on the terms prevailing be- fore the strike was called. An analysis of the votes, as it appears to us, is as follows: Votes received before 7 p. m. for “returning to work” were 461, spoiled ballots 49, vetes received after polls closed for “returning to work” 52, and vetes to continue strike 3. A careful estimate indicates that 75 men had left town before the voting was done. If we take the 461 votes cast to go to work; the 52 that were cast too late; assume that of the spoiled ballots the same percentage voted to return to work, or 48; and one-half of the men who were out of town as voting to go to work, or 37; we have 598. Had the Union members registered their vote 'at the same place and at the same time, it is a fair presumption that at least 100 more votes in favor of going to work would have been cast. Summarized: Votes to return to work ... .. 461 Voted after polls closed, to return to wopk o e P e 52 Percentage cf spoiled ballots, to return to work . 48 One-half of number of men “who went away 37 Number of Union members who weculd undoubtedly have voted to go to work . Total Total entitled to vote CONDUCTED BY MINORITY It is increasingly evident that the strike was called, and being conducted by a small minority of the total number of employees. In view of the information at hand, it is fair to ask how long this minority shall be allowed to deprive so many people of their means of livelihood, and so ‘sericusly hinder, handicap and jeopardize the very existence of much of the business of the community. We are ready and willing to resume operations. It is indicated that a large majority of the employees are willing to work on the terms prevail- ing before the strike was called. We recognize our responsibilities to the com- munity and to our employees, and have done every- thing we can to prevent hardship and distress to the community, but, we cannot resume operations until it can be done on a basis that is fair to all employees, to the community, and te the sharehold- ers alike.
