JUNEAU SPRUCE REAFFIRMS 1TS STAND ON ILWU Mayor and~S:wmi|I Ex- change Letters in 75-Day Local Labor Dispute correspondence affecting Spruce Corporation as revealed today The correspondence consists of an exchange of letters between Mayor W. E. Hendrickson and Freeman Schultz, JSC executive vice-pr deént as the result of last w meeting between - the Mayor and representatives of the CIO Imter- rational Longshoremen and Ware- honsemen's Union. The 'letters aré hs follows: Juneau, June 11 Corporation, Further the Juneau labor dispute W Spruce Alaska. The members of the Lo- Juneau Juneau, Gentlemen: executive board of the ILWU, cal 1-16, and other Territorial offi- l cials of the ILWU met with me in the Council Chambers of the City Hall on the afternoon of June 9th to discuss the proposal I had ofiered for the settlement of the labor dispute at the Juneau Spruce Mill. The ILWU delegation informed me that they had voted to refuse to accept the suggested proposal. The delegation then asked that I propose to the Juneau Spruce Cor- poration that they recognize and comply with the agreement of September 14, 1947, which 1-16 states they have with Alaska Steamship employer vised and amended on June 15, 1948, or as soon theredfter as nego- tiations with the Juneau Spruce Corporation are consumated. The ILWU Local 1-16 delegation offers this as a counter proposal and also states that they will lis- ten to any proposal from the Ju- neau Spruce Corporation if a meet- ing can be arranged. s:nmen yours, . E. HENDRICKSON The reply follows: i Juneau, Alaska Mayor W. E. Hendrickson, City of Juneau, Dear Sir: This Corporation can, see no useful purpose any meeting with ILWU Local 1-| 16. We are a party to no agree- ment of any type with these long- | shoremen. We have no new pro- posals to make which have not already been made and rejected by the longshoremen according to your letter of June 11, 1948. Our position in this whole dis- pute is predicated upon our in-| alienable right to hire any person we care to, or are able to hire, and to refuse to hire anyone we do not want to perform the necessary work of the Corporation. That is & very important matter and fun- damental-—one of the freedoms, in fact. anyone who puts a picket line in front of our property, we would not long be in control of the busi- ness. Therefore, we feel it nec- essary that we continue to refuse to negotiate in any manner with the longshoremen in arriving at a settlement in this dispute. We want to again express our appreciation for the open minded attitude you have assumed and thank you for your interest and activity in trying to bring tragic financial loss to an end. Yours very truly. J u Spruce F‘ru:’é,l'z:an Schultz. e — FROM SAN FRANCISCO Lois Schaefer from San Fran- cisco, Calif., s visiting here: and staying at the Baranof Hotel.
