Vital Problem “Because the union must select the crew to be turned over to the employer, which must then * transported from 800 to 2,500 miles away to do the season's work, the responsibility of the union for sec- ing that satisfactory workérs are dispatched is exceedingly great. The impossibility of making changes in the crew after the season staits makes this a vital problem in op- erating the industry Dr. Lescohier declared that (rom’ what he had observed, the prese i leadership of the cannery w union recognized this responsi ity. “We are coming to realize unions are a business organization Unions must handle their affairs in a businesslike manner, just a bank must, if they are to tinue in ‘operation. As the union il o gunizations grow older they tend | to be better and more saundly run,” he concluded.

After this beautiful ren- dition by the beloyed artist, the audience retired to the lounge for a_brief intermission. The second part of the program was characterized by a more vig- orous type of music, notable among with much gusto by the eminent tenor. The encore to the first group was the ever popular “Your| Eyes,” by Friml.

TYEE CANNERY " PACKING FALL CHUMS, COHOES Superintendent Stephanus Is Visitor in Juneau from Cannery The Tyee cannery of- the Sebas-- tian-SBtuart interests, will can for the fall season, it was learned today from Supt. H. A. Stephanus. Stephanus, a guest at the Baranof Hotel, came in on the tender Fish Hawk for fish boxes and lumber and other supplies. The ecannery, equipped with two 1-pound tall Continental Can lines, is now packing Taku gill net fish, and will also pack for the fifteen- day seining season from October 1 to Oetober 15, probably putting up around 15,000 cases of chums and cohoes. The gillnetting, which opened in the Taku area last Tuesday, has netted little fish, so far, Stephanus sald, with river freshets and storms ‘cutting fishing time to a few days. The cannery has a floating sta- tion near the mouth of the river where fish are dressed and iced down with ice from Juneau, then taken to the Tyee cannery on Sat- urday for canning on Sunday. Btephanus said he expected to leave town tonight. - e DEMOLAYS TO ELE .- OFFICERS TOMORROW With ‘Bud Lowell, Mastér Coun- cillor presiding, a meeting of the DeMolays will be held toomrrow night at 7:30 o'clock at the Scottish the steelhead and rainbow trout are from their many Junegu admirers.; piio Temple for the election of the same fish? ‘There’s only one who doesn't like i A the new truck.
