UNION or TERRITORY
, TO HOLD CONVENTION
Complete plans for the organiza

Union-will be completed at the All
Alaska convention, which is sched
uled to be held at Juneau. October 10
according to H. \\ Henrikson, secre
tary of Local No. 3, located at Ket

rikson, there is no territorial O’gan
ation of the union.
“The first chapter was o»gnni;:e<)
at Anchorage,” said Mr. Hendrickson,
“and that local has taken the lead in
the affairs of the union. As more
were organized in all parts of Alaska
the need for a territorial organization
became more apparent. The affair -
are now administered by the Anchor
age chapter.
“At the Juneau convention, at
which'representatives of all the local
organizations will meet t< Vther. a
general set of officeis will be selected.
Their headquarters will probably be

the lead in the affairs of southeastern

territory. A branch was recently or
