OPINION

CONNOR, Justice.

An unfortunate airplane crash of November 21, 1968, provides the background for this case. The plane crashed while carrying the members of the Governor's Employment Advisory Commission from Barrow, Alaska, to Inuvik, N.T., Canada, to inspect a model native town. Among those killed in the crash was Harold Groothuis who was chairman of the commission and business manager of Laborers & Hod Carriers Union, Local #341.
