PROPOSAL FOR COMBINE WILL BE RE-OPENED Buschmann Expects Can-E nery Merger Plan to Be Revived Next Winter All negotiations relative to the | salmon canning merger which at- tracted considerable attention | during the past winter, have been | suspended, according to August| Buschmann, president of the Deep | Sea Salmon Company and part owner of canneries at Sitka, Todd and Hood Bay. Fle spent several hours here yesterday while the steamer Alaska, on which he is assenger for the Port Althorp cannery, was in port. i Mr. Buschmaun believes that! the future prosperity of the can- ning industry will require the merger of many individual plants, He was confident that such a combination would also work to the economic advantage of the Territory. It is probable that the negotiations will be reopened next Fall and continue through the winter. Financing the merger is not a problem, he said. Money | to swing the proposition is avail- able whenever a reasonable plan of consolidation can be worked out. The canners are hopeful that a normal salmon pack will be ob-| tained this year. Prices at this time are high but there are no fish on the market. It is expect- ed that there will be a reduction IMPORTANT MEETING 1.0.0.F. Hall, Juneau Wednesday, May 16 7:30 P. M. Nomination and Election of Officers All Eagles Welcome all along the line when the new pack reaches the market. While the regulations for this season are much more restrictive than ever before, Mr. Buschmannu had no criticism to make of them. He said he felt that Commission- er Henry O'Malley of the U. S Bureau of Fisheries had endeav- ored to be fair to the industry and to all kinds of gear in mak- ing up the regulations, and that his first consideration had been the preservation of the salmon to insure adequate spawning sup plies. Mr. Buschmann will be joined at Port Althorp by his family sometime in June.
