R AFL PETITION T0 BE INVESTIGATED IN UNION ACTION SEATTLE, Nov. 1.—(®--Field ex- aminer Don McFeely of the Nation- |al Labor Relations Board has been named to investigate a petition of the AFL Sailors’ Union of the Pa- cific for an election to determine jurlsdictlon' over cocks and stew- ards of The Alaska Steamship Com- pany. Ed. Coester, Seattle port agent of the SUP, petitioned for the election last week. He said 75 per cent of the employees, who have been represent- ed by the CIO Marine Cooks, and Stewards’ Union, have signed AFL pledge cards. Thomas P. Graham, Jr., regional NLRB director, said notices and other papers concerned with the petition have teen mailed to par- ties concerned. If an election is called, the name of the CIO union presumably will not appear cn the ballot because it has not filed non- communist affidavits required by the Taft-Hartley labor law. e e Woman Loses Life In Fairbanks Blaze Fairbanks, Alaska, Nov. 1.—(®— Firemen are seeking the cause of a weekend blaze which took the life of Lillian Neary, 47.
