During a large part of the year, the problems of financing and sell- ing the pack, and making arrange- ments to have plants, gear, and roats in readiness for the new. sea- n absorb all the attention of business leaders and operating heads in Ll)o industry, but the ap- pivach of the salmon run moves the industry's capitol north to Al- aska. Seattle is the sales capitol for Canned Salmon, but the in- dustry is dependent first of all on its supply of high quality fish. Alaska produces about 5500,000 cases of canned salmon each year It is the leading producer of this fish for the American market, and in turn the Territory derives its chief support from the catching, preparation, and marketing of this product. Now that the commercial fish- not far off, every northbound sailing takes a number of salmon packers, superintendents fishermen, and workers, as well as a large volume of materials back to Alaska in preparation for the salmon run.

R. Wassenkari, President of the United Fishermen of Alaska, declared that the Out- side fishermen have forced the packers to pay a penalty for everv resident ' fisherman employed this year, unless such residents join the Outside union. Mr. Wassenkari passed through Juneau today on the Yukon, bound for his home in Seward and from there to Anchorage where he will fly to Bristol Bay for the salmon season which opens June 25. In a statement he said: “A strong movement is on foot to | | wreck our organization, and the| Outside Union has a clause in its; agreement which compels the pack- ers to pay to the Alaska Fishermen’s | Union, one-third of all the fish of | _resident fishermen who do not be- |long to the Outside Union. | “The clause was put in there to! force the packers to insist that| the residents join the Outside Un- ! ion in order to avoid paying thc‘ one-third. But the packers are go- ing to take an impartial stand on | the situation, and will leave it op-| tional to the residents. Now, this means much as the packers do not | 'want to see our organization go under. “The reason the Outside union is taking such drastic measures is that they are getting afraid of our strength and they want us in their | organization so they can control us. | Their intention is to restrict the residents to so many boats to a line ' [because they know that the natural | development of the Territory is bringing in more and more res dent fishermen every year who will eventually freeze out the outside fishermen altogether. Tt is a case of self-preservation with them to try to control the resident fisher- mm 2 . Wassenkari said the packing companms have arranged for em- | ploying resident and cutside tisher- men on the same basis as in 1934. (Bristol Bay was closed to general commercial fishing last year). The Bureau of Fisheries - has fixed thei limit on gill net boats permitted in Bristol Bay this season at 1027 | Should the packers employ more boais than this number, it would have the effect of causing the Bu- reau to shorten the season, he said. Arnold H. Swanson, | Qut of the 1027 boats authorized, un‘ the basis of 1934 figures, there will' ‘be 682 boats set aside for Outside ! fishermen and 345 for resident fish- ermen. Two men fish ineach boat. In addition to the boats, there were in 1934, a total of 333 fishermen employed as net-setters, woérking fixed nets on the shol J. W. C.
