e SLOWS BUSINESS INFIRST CITY Ketchikan Maym on Way to Interior for Edu- cational Meet A. H. Ziegler, Mayor of Ketchi- kan and former Representative in the Territorial Legislature, arrived in Juneau on the Aleutian, enroute to Fairbanks to attend a conference of education officials. “The uncertainty of the canhning outlook has slowed Ketchikan's bu nes a bit,” Mr. Ziegler admitted The First City's Mayor said two canneries in the Ketchikan district will not operate at all this namely, Joe Weibust’s cannery the city itself, and the Deecp Canning Co., plant at Scowl Ar “If that fish dispute is settled soon, however, Ketchikan should have a big year,” Ziogler We have quite a bit of buil on, and the general business of the town is good.” Held by bad weather today, Zieg- ler will fly to Fairbanks tomorrow He is a guest at the Gastineau Hotel e Fishermen Label Cannery Dispute CI0-AFL Squabble Two Union Represemahves Urge Alaska Union of Workers Disgusted \ML]I the lack of prog- ress in the union-packers dispute in Seattle and San Francisco, Mar- tin Hegeburg and Carl Brunstad, union representatives from Cordova and Kodiak, are going back to their respective homes aboard the Aleutian. Hegeberg has been in the States for the past five weeks attending negotiations of the cannery work- ers with packers, as a representa- tive of the Prince Willlam Sound Cannery Workers, and the Copper River 'and Prince Willlam Sound Fishermen's Union. Brunstad rep- resented the Union Fishermen of Alaska. “'This squabble down there has turned into a dog fight between CIO and AFL,” Hegeberg said “There's only one thing for the cannery workers and fishermen of Alaska to do, and that is, organize season, in an Alaska union that will speak for all of us. “CIO and AFL look on Alaska as a fat plum. They don't concern themselves with our problems here or give us the support they pretend to. With dues from each one of the Alaskan cannery workers and fishermen, the annual take would amount to around $50,000. That ex- plains a lot, when you ask what the big trouble has been in Seattle and ‘'Frisco!” Hegeberg promised action soon to organize Alaskan cannery workers and fishermen into a solid Alaskan union front. He said that he hoped by next fall there will be a mass meeting of all workers connected with the fishing industry, in one of the centrally locateq . Alaskan cities. H “Our problems up here are local problems, and we can do without the so-called cooperation of peach and prune canners in California!” Hegeberg swore. $363,000 FOR ALASKA FLOOD CONTROL OK'D House Committee Slashes Proposed Authorization for Territory 70 Percent | WASHINGTON, May 12. — The three hundred and seventy five mil- lion flood control program, includ- ing $565,000 for Alaska, has receiv- ed the House flood control commit- fee approval.
