Serving Alaska ANADIAN STEAMSHIP COMPANIES, with V. steadily expanding services, are showing their good faith and interest in the Alaska trade and are anxiously awaiting the day when present shipping restrictions will permit the Alaskans themselves taking more full advantage thereof. Pioneering a new extension of service is the Union Steamship Co. whose steamer Camosun inaugurated a service from here at the week-end to Wrangell and Petersburg, the furthest north the company has so far ventuerd with its ship. The Camosun, incidentally, is now rendering a new direct 3G-hour service between Prince Rupert and Vancouver. Other Canadian steamship companies will soon be bidding more for the Alaska trade including Canadian National Railways whose new Prince Gejfrge will be on the run next year and the Canadian Pacific which will have its present Pacific coast flagship, Princess Kathleen, on the Alaska i'dute in 19-19, planning particularly for the car-carrying trade from Prince Rupert to Haines for connection with the Alaska Highway. Itis gratifying that Alaskans themselves are still vigorously campaigning for abolition of the Jones Bill which today prevents Alaskans and British Columbia, particularly Prince Rupert, making free and full use of these new and developing transportation facilities. Some day the wishes of the Alaskans may prevail over the stranglehold of the port of Seattle and its shipping interests.. , WELCOME, MR. COLDWELL NATIONAL LEADER of the third ranking. . party of political importance in Canada, M. J. Cokhvell of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation is a visitor of outstanding importance in Prince Rupert today and, as such, it is fitting that we should welcome him. The party which he heads has become a substantial, if still minority, voice and it is well that he should know Prince Rupert and that we should be acquainted with him. SThofee who are interested in public affairs, whether they agree with him or not, should turn out to hear rMr. 'Coldwell this evening when he- makes a public appearance. Mr. Coldwell's visit here, we may assume, is primarily to. promote the political interests of his party. Notwithstanding that, his presence is a recognition. Visits of national political leaders are few and far enough between. Such visits from other leaders would be equally timely and appreciated in vievvof Prince Rupert's increasing importance. RUSSIA AND ALASKA TALES ARE SAID to be told in Soviet Russia ' I that Alaska really belongs to Moscow because the sale of Russia to the United States in 18G7 was illegal and did not represent the true will and approval of the people. During the American Civil War Russian naval vessels called at New York and San Francisco. Presumably these were social so-- fjotirns. Old records as much as say the Czar needed money and that he disposed of territory in North America at a bargain to reimburse him for the 'cost of a more'or less diplomatic call at New York and , San Francisco. Only a few days ago, the eightieth anniversary of the sale was observed. Eighty years is long enough for almost any claim to 'be;, outlawed.

LI the return of our process the live stock and other products of agri cultural producers; to supply our customers and consumers, and to help us do our part in feeding the hungry people overseas. The new agreement under which we are working was arrived at by collective bargaining directly with the representatives of our employees, which we feel is the only sound method of working out an agreement satisfactory to all concerned. Swift Canadian Co. Limited has responsibilities to conduct its business in the best interest of employees, livestock producers, consumers, and the Company. These responsibilities arc best fulfilled by direct dealing between the Company and representatives of the employees. The business of processing and' distributing farm products is a complicated one, requiring years of special knowledge and experience. And negotiating officials who know the complex meat business, and representatives of our employees, are better qualified to work out an agreement than is a third party, no matter how well intentioned that third party may be. '4- '.wist wj'en- Ml HIBB RESUMES OPERATIONS WE WELCOME employees to Furthermore, once an agreement has been reached the Company and the employees can work together again with better co-operation, greater efficiency, and higher morale. At no time did we refuse to bargain. Collective bargaining negotiations were carried on before and through the strike. We were willing to bargain, and did bargain, at all times when the Union wished to bargain. We did refuse to arbitrate. VVc think it in the public interest to oppose this because it might well lead to industry-wide, nation-wide control of the Canadian meat industry. We feel we were justified in adhering to the principle of collective bargaining. Despite the distraction of proposals for arbitration and pressures for third party intervention, which served to delay the strike settlement, we held to the straight path of collective bargaining and reached satisfactory to both an. agreement parties. We feel sure that with all pulling together in harmony we can jee0"!' nlish the,big job ahead pf us. WE AK& GLAD TO HAVE OUR EMPLOY-EES'BACK TO WORK. SWIFT CANADIAN CO. LIMITED 'J. H.
