The fishermen reiterated their threat of a strike if the minimum scale was not adopted. They pre- sented the following scale, suggest- ed at an earlier meeting in Se-| attle and ratified by fishermen in| Alaska ports laf 16 and 8 cents in Seattle, 9 and 6 in Prince Ru- pert and Vancouver, B. C., and 8% and 5% in Alaska ports. No Statements However, the fish company rep- resentatives — including delegates from ten of the largest organiza- tions of that kind in Seattle— merely stated that they were pres-| €nt at the meeting to “gather in-! formation and could not give out| any statements as to what ditions the fish companies' would require to consent to such rmini- mum prices.” The Canadian-American fisher- men’s mutual working agreement also was a point of discussion at the Washington Athletic Club in Beattlee. The €entral Executive| I.md Stu con- | duly in "the ‘form of lower “pricés | paid them. Canadian Stand On the other hand, the Canadian fishermen 'were reported ‘as favor- | ‘mg the Americans’ demand for the minimum price scale Fishermen | expressed the opinion that a “unit- ( ed front” phsh both demands. Destrability of preventing the sale of Japanese-caught halibut in the United States also was dis- cussed. Because there were no repr tatives 1t from Canadian fish companies, definite action on all questions was postponed pending further ' negotiations.

LOCAL DATA Temp Humidity Wind Velocity 9 32 NE 18 12 68 s 6 14 48 NE 15 cold glaciers water passes through a funnel. The small ‘‘spill- ways” tend to give a high velocity to the wind. That is why ‘“smoke" on Gasti- neau Channel is noticed at the southe end of Douglas TIsland often when the wind is not blowing hard re. The entrance to Taku Glacier- natural “spillway”—is found at that end of the Channel. The term “Taku” is a local ex- pression, Thompson pointed out. Residents of Wrangell experience kind of wind but call it Stikine”, from the river by that name near that city. Discussion’ of local names for winds ‘brought mention of other more or les notorious winds in other parts of the world “Of course, one of the most well-known winds in the world is the so-called ‘Chinook’,” Thompson said. “This wind, found all over} the globe, is called a ‘Chinook’ on- | ly in the Western states.
