A. F. Will Visit Eight Can- ning Plants Enroute to his company's can- ery and fishing operations to the Westward, Archie W. Shiels, gz eral superintendent of the Pacific American Fisheries, accompanied By his son John, arrived in Juneau Tuesday evening on the Princess Louise. “Fishing in the Bristol Bay area is very good and a satisfactory pack from there is assured,” Mr. Shiels said. “However the Alaska Peninsula catches are not so good and T believe the cause is due to being over-fished.” The Pacific American Fisheries anticipates a normal pack from Alaska this year and are not con- templating an unusually big one, Mr. Shiels advised. The longshoremen’s strike has not unduly delayed any of the P. A. F. supplies, according to the superintendent, and two of their boats have sailed from Bellingham since the second tie-up. However 1 considerable amount of canned fish already sold is being held up because of the strike. Increased Cost The cost of canning will be in- creased somewhat this year, ac- cording to Mr. Shiels. The in- crease is brought about not only by the increased wages in the fish- ing industry but also by the rais- ing of box shook and tin prices, through labor adjustments through- out the production line. “Alaska always looks good to me,” declared Mr. Shiels, who has spent many seasons in the Terri- tory and is the author of the in- teresting ‘and informative book “Seward’s Icebox,” as soon as. I return.” John Shiels, a junior year stud- ent at Stanford University, is ac- companying his father. They will board the P. A. F. Ship Catherine D., atPetersburg and proceed to the Westward where they will visit the eight canneries operated by the P. A. F, in the Bristol Bay and Alaska Peninsula areas. While in Juneau, Mr. Shiels vis- ited with Gov. John W. Troy, H. L. Falkner, B. M.
