ILWU For Statehood
For Alaska and Hawaii
LONG BEACH, Calif., —
Members of the International
Longshoremen’s and Warehouse
men’s Union unanimously adopt
ed resolution advocating statehood
for the territories of Hawaii and
Alaska.
“There is no longer any ques
tion about the right of the people
in these areas to enjoy statehood,
or of their ability to fulfill the
obligations and responsibilities of
running their own affairs,” the
resolution stated.
Delegates to the 11th biennial
convention here said the state
hood issue has become a “politi
cal football.”
“Both mgjor parties are on
record for statehood,” the resolu
tion-said, “and each has been in
a position to enact appropriate
legislation and has ended up
doing nothing.”
