Successful Issue Attending the conference at Se- | attle were members of the con- tracting syndicate, made up of the Siems-Drake-Puget Sound firms, and Commander Thomas of the 13th Naval District. The concessions now granted Al- askans are among discriminations which Covernor Gruening pointed out in labor agreements signed by the contractors and Seattle unions. The Governor is now in New York, having gone East directly from Seattle. As the Ottawa meet- ing of the International Highway Commissioners was postponed two weeks, Governor Gruening plans to go to Washington from New York and then make the trip to Ottawa at the time of ihe conferenoe. — e SITKA TO GET 1940 MEETING OF MARITIME Last Minute Resolution| Boosts for Inferna- tional H|ghway Convening Maritime Federation- ers finished a three-day business session here ‘yesterday evening, concluding their second annual Al- aska convention and naming Sitka as the 1041 convention town. Last minute resolutions were passed with respect to Indian res- ervations and to selling of Alaska- caught fish in Prince Rupert. It was demanded that no more Indian reservations be set aside in Alaska, several Indian labor dele- gates at the convention voting fa- vorably on the resolution on the grounds “Indians sacrifice too many of their rights as citizens under reservation’ life." Fish Resolution The fish-to-Prince Rupert reso- lution, bitterly battled over for the duration of the convention, was originally worded to ask Con- gress for legislation preventingsale of Alaska-eaught fish in Prince Rupert, ' “denying Ketchikan and Wrangell of their rights in labér and materials in processing Ah&n fish." However, after vigorous npm | tion from Deep Sea Pifhermen, who get higher prices in Prince Rupert !for their fish.where-rail transpog- tation takes catches directly to eastern markets, the wording of the resolution was changed toread, il essenice, as seeking legislation which will permit Alaska fishermen to sell in home matrkets for higher prices on competitive par with Ru- pert. Urge for Highway Maritimers said on the floor: “The quicker the International Highway i bullt, the quicker Al- askan ports can pay Rupert scale of prices.” Union dislike of Prince Rupert was voloed in alleged “scab scale of wages” for fish processers there. Conventioners were to begin re- turning to their respective homes in Alaska and the States today and tomorrow.
