ASKA BRISTOL BAY SALMON PACK WL o 1 The Brxs[ol Bay salmon pack this season will hold up ‘“fairly well in_comparison to past years, ac- cording _to Baltzer Peterson, General Manager fi( the Red Sal- mon Canning Company, who pass- ed through Juneau on the Columbia last night for the fishing area “We managed to iron out labor troubles at the last minute and there will not be such a great decrease in this_year's pack as was first believed,” Peterson said. ‘The prominent cannery man, who was one of the leading figures in the strike negotiations in San Fran- cisco, said his company would put up a “full back” this season at its Naknek and Ugashik plants al though “it is hard to say whether or not well be able {o sell it.” . Small Capneries Inyolved Such_curtq.flm ent.as there will be in_Brislol Bay ngfing"‘iluu year according to_Peterson, will be most- ly confined to small canneries “Two canneries of the Alaska Packers Association, the biggest packer in the district,” will not operate,” Peterson, said, but added “they are small planis and will not affect the pack a great deal. The two, plants at Naknek, {wo af, Kvi- chak, one at, Egegik, and those at Chignik and Karluk will be oper- ated, the latter two by PAF. The cannerfes at Ugashik and Nushagak are shut down.” | Peterson estimated the pack de- crease for this season will probably be. about, 200,000 cases off the 1- 400,000-case, pack last year. Employment. Less “As for employment, around 500 less workers than usual will be em- ployed in Bristol Bay,” Peterson said, “I don’t, Abe,n‘evev any resident workers will be out of work. least, it is our, policy fo give the residents work in preference to im-} ported workers, righf, down the line and I am sure most of the other packers feel the same Way.’ Regardjng labor conditions, Pet- erson condemned the effect of strong unionizing of the workmen and its stultifying effect on “man output. our Al Labor Situation “For some reason or other,” Pet- erson sighed, “the laborer’s init- iative is being curbed, and the popular feeling seems to be that the slower they work the more work they will make available for more hands, but it isn’t so. If we could put up a faster pack, we could hire more men. If we put up a slower pack, we can’t afford to hire more men. “Last year, because of this mass inertia—this sort of psychological stymie to efficient work, it took us just about 25 per cent longer to put up our pack than ordinarily— it doesn’t stack up at all with the economic standards which have built us to .the country we ar When individual initiative is curb- ed, something has to slip.” Curtailed Operations With Peterson, going to the West- ward also; is Stanley L. Cocks, assistant to the President of the Alaska Salmon Company. Cocks said his company will con- tinue to operate the Naknek cannery of the organization, with curtailed operations, but will not run the Nushagak plant. Peterson received a wire yester- day. from H. B. Friele, of the Nakat Packing Company at Nakeen, Bris- tol Bay, advising of an apparently good run of fish with yesterday's average catch per fishernian at 400 fish. CHATHAM WILL TAKE ORE OUT The freighter Chatham docked in Juneau early this morning to un- load a large general cargo at this port. The vessel will sail this evening to Taku Landing to pick up 300 tonis, of concentrates, from the Po- laris-Taku mine, and will proceed south, sfopping at McLean Arm 0 jpick up 100 tons of ore from that mine, also for the Tacoma smelter.
