The new charter was planned, according to Bowman, so as to have one union for industry-wide bargaining as to fish prices and cannery wages and working condi- tions. “But,” he added, “we have got to take this or we do not get any- thing.” “We would rather have a bird in the hand than two in the bush,” said Governor Gruening early in the hearing. “We would rather take the bill as it is and| take our chances rather than to have a bill so improved that it} would not pass this session of | Congress.

The section of the bill relating to the National Forests purports {0 give to the new state the income from four sections of each town- ship In the National Forests, or one-ninth of the total forest rev- enues. Under the actual wording of the bill, Senator Anderson point- ed out, the new state would be entitled to 40-20th of the forest income—in other words, to 200 per- cent of the total revenue from fle forests.
