LABOR COMMITTEE
SEATTLE, (AP) - A 34 man committee of labor union officials and Seattle and Alaska business men was appointed by Mayor Allan Pomeroy Saturday to seek means to prevent future waterfront labor disputes.
Co-chairmen of the group will be S. A. Black and Chester R. Wilcox, both Seattle business men.
This committee, Mayor Pomeroy said, will be a valuable sounding board for labor and related problems on our vital waterfront. It will meet frequently and, when deemed necessary, will make investigations and conduct hearings.
I have asked it to endeavor to work out a long-range program for improving the stability of our waterfront.
The Alaska members will be Jack Anderson, Anchorage; Jack Conway, Sitka; William Bates, Ketchikan; Earl Ohmer, Petersburg; W. L. Lehman, Fairbanks;
Howard Lyng, Nome; Mike Monagle, Juneau; Vern Smith, Wrangell; Jim Watts, Kodiak; and Fred Zleke, Palmer.
