B o e i) s | | GILLNETTERS ARE CALLED OFF ON COLUMBIA RIVER ASTORIA, Ore., July 19—®—The CIO Columbia River Fishermen'’s Protective Union today called its 1200 gillnetters off the river in a dispute over salmon prices. All commer: fishermen on the river are Catches have been poor. { The action followed a vote in which the union rejected packers’ offers by an 8-1 margin, Secretary Henry Niemela said. Niemela said delegates would be called to a meeting to “mobilize for| economic action in order to obtain, better conditions and prices for| the 1949 season.” r‘ The fishermen worked part of | the spring season with prices un- settled. They were to te deter-! mined in later negotiations. The packers offered 20 cents a pound for Chinock salmon from April 30 to Aug. 1; 18 cents for Aug 1-10, 15 cents for the rest of the season; 13 cents for steelhead ind 20 cents for blueback salmon. The union originally asked 27} cents for Chinook from April 30 to Aug. 10; 23 cents from Aug. 10 to| the end of the season; 19% cents for steelhead and 27 cents for blueback salmon. The union said, these prices were about the same| as last year. Niemela said the fishermen also discussed a possible merger with; the International Longshoremen, and Warehousemen’s Union. ‘The decision to quit fishing was not expected to have any great; effect at once. The salmon run has, been light, and only part of thel fleet has gone out nightly. Land- ings have been skimpy. The annual! summer run, however, is expected any day. | | TUNA TAKES DROP, ASTORIA, Ore., July 19—®—The price of albacore tuna broke sharply as the first important North Pacific catch of the season reached the docks today. The boat Destiny, skippered bv. Wilbur Northup, Astoria, landed three tons of tuna, caught by jig Columbia river light ship. The load was sold to James F. Kindred and Associates, Seattle, for $380 a ton, far under the going! price of $650 last year. A heavy decline had been expected, but some thought it would not be quite 50 much, Northup said he received only four other bids, all for $350 a ton.
