Some people will argue that these natives got along before cannery operations opened on Bristol Bay. They will point out that the na- tives subsisted prior to 1942 with- {out salmon cannery wages. This is true. But during the past nine ears these people have been able |to raise their living standards be- |cause of the cash brought in by [the members of their families who |worked in the canneries. | “Without this money in excess of $600,000 for a short |fishing season, these natives will ’be forced to do without many | things that have become necessities |to them in recent years.

The AF.U. |is sponsored and supported by |Harry Bridges' International Long- and Wareltbusemen's | Union. Members of the A. F. U. are fishing in Bristol Bay. Dow- |ney’s fishermen are sponsored by the Seafarer’s International Union headed by Harry Lundberg. Both San Francisco and the active direction of the jurisdictional squabble was conducted by union officials flown to Bristol Bay. “At the starf of the season, Downey’s cannery workers were af- filiated with the Congress of In- dustrial Organization. But as late as June 29 Downey notified the in- dustry that his cannery workers had tched their affiliation from the C.I.O. to AF.L. affiliated with S.IU. Legality of this zero hour switch is seriously questioned by Roy Atkinson, Seattle, C.I.O. regional director. But whether C.I1.0., AF.L. or independent, the native cannery {mands that actually required action “Who is this Jim Downey whose {_ poc been offer —has been offered to by S [noa could havekepti the JOBEOMUNNC G, the 259 mcrease 15 i 11,000 native Alaskans?

"FOURTH CLEANUP | Inadvertently, the announcement of the second most original float | in the Fourth of July parade was omitted from yesterday's July Fourth account in the Empire. This honor went to the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood. The float represented a large war canoe bearing potlatch-bound na- tives colorfully dressed in tribal costumes, singing and with a Ra- ven doing the Raven dance. Girls Photographed Two much photographed girls were Lorna Lattery representing a circus bareback rider on Banner, a shetland pony owned by Curtis H. Sherwood, and Carol Peterson of the Juneau Dairies who rode a mule named Elmer. Lorna was raised on a Canadian ranch but both girls have been trained here by Sherwood. Just Overlooked Overlooked was the Auk Bay float representing community serv- ice.
