Business houses were notified to be on the lookout for the bogus bills. Officials said they appear to be irom the same batch which is be- ng circulated on the West Coast in the states. Their most noticeable defect is that the back-ground of the por- rait of Andrew Jackson is made up of wavy lines instead of a fine screen. Treasury men said the counter- feiters made one glaring error in attempting to duplicate the bills issued by the Federal Reserve bank at San Francisco: Genuine bills from this bank carry the figure 12 in each corner on the face of the bill, but the bo- gus notes show the number five.

Picket lines were thrown @round four canneries in the two towns. John Wiese, president of the Westward Alaska Fisheries Council (CIO) said two Anchorage plants—- the Mard Packing Company and the General Fish Company-—prob- ably will be hit in the next tew days. Canneries struck today were Lib- by, McNeill and Libby; Alaska Sel- dovia Packing Company; the Alaska Year 'Round Packing Company, and the Cook Inlet Packing Company. Meanwhile, the CIO nego!lutms} committee and Steele Culbertson representing the Alaska Salmon In- dustry, continued.to meet here in an effort to reach an agreement. Major union demands include an increase in salmon prices for fish- ermen and parity for resident can-| nery workers with non-resident la- bor, Wiese said. Though initiated by the fisher- men and cannery workers, the strike is expected to spread to tend- ermen, tallymen, beach gangs and trap men. These are now under contract, but are expected to re- spect picket lines. Wiese said both the tendermen and cancery wark-| ers will stop work here. He added only a three-day storm which kept union officials on the| Lower Inlet, delayed “the mechani- | cal steps” for a local strike. | Oscar Anderon, general secre- tary-treasurer of the AFU, is here| from Seattle to take part in nego- | tiations.

Tom Conway takes over th: Drum- mond role in a story which involves the murder of a crusty old sea captain and the strange disappear- ance of an ominous-titled ship's model, The Flying Dutchman Drummond, with his ever-res companion, Algy Longworth, s a good mystery which has amateur talents bristling for the solution when a beau‘itul young woman offers them a staggering sum for The Flying Dutchman which Algy, innocently enough, had vicked up at auction. Warned off <y Scotland Yard, they step head- ;ong into murder and the path ot the killer as they try to tcace the model after it is stolen from Orum- | wond’s quarters. PNA CARRIES 25 ON MON.
