PICKET LINE AT Pickets have ‘been withdrawn from the grade school and hospi- tal construetion projects at An- chorage. Picketing by the Oarpent- ers Union No. 2183,'has been main- tained for one third of a year. Leonard Dean, Secretary: of the unien, said that the line was with- drawn because “it has served its purpose and no mare good can be derived from it— the jobs on the two projects are known all over the coast to be unfair.” At least two pickets have marched arcund the buildings fop 10 hours a day during the four months. Some~ times there were four men. They used dogteams and skis during the Fur Rendezvous. Until January the picket line was maintained on Sun- days, Mr. Dean said. > —— H. W. GRIFFIN THROUGH H. W.
