Can Be Factor The initial membership of the new organization controls such a substantial proportion of Alaska’s annual salmon pack that it can be an important factor in the in- dustry. The 30 member companies criginally enrolled represent an av- erage annual pack of approximate- ly 1,400,000 cases of salmon. It is expected the membership will be augumented by another 500,000 to 600,000 cases by the admission of some 15 or 20 additional packers, who have not had an opportunity of joining. Some of these have already expressed their intention of applying for membership. The 30 companies forming the Association are: Fishermen's Pack- ing Corporation, J. O.
