Scope and content
On March 7, 1943, the members of the Eagles turned out in force at "Scrap Iron Acres," located near the Pacific Match Co. plant at 3223 So. Union, to sort some of the 3,000 tons of salvaged metal piled there. Pictured left to right are Julius LaVerne, Les Green of the Cooks & Waiters union, Undersheriff Joe Karpach, Deputy Sheriff Sig Kittelson and Don Bryant. All together, 65 tons of heavy steel were loaded into a big railroad car for transport to a Seattle mill. (T. Times 3/8/1943, pg. 1)
