Franklin — Phone 473 G666 —— SOON THE PRODUCER IN A TEN MILLION DOLLAR ALA SitA B Don’t Talce Him for Grantesd Based on figures estimated from the 1851 Pacific Fisherman Annual Year Book'. Salmon frolling in Southeasiern Alaska pro- duces a Ten Million Dollar income for Alaska ports annually. These figures are approximations, necessarily expressed in round numbers, since no agency, gov- ernment or privaie, have been able to pierce the iron curtain which surrounds the operations of the integrated buyers who dominate the domestic and international market. The prices paid o the producing trollers is not net income. Out of that price, he must pay the cost of packing his fish from the fishing grounds fo the dock - at a cost of fwo and four cents a pound; buy fuel; ice, bait, and provisions; that income must also furnish gear, and provide repairs and mainte- nance for his boat. (All his purchases are at Al- aska prices) What liitle remains after paying these necessary operating expenses goes to house, feed and clothe himself and his family in Alaska. Some frollers heing of congenial but heastly nature, even spend a few dollars for a beer at the friendly favern. The Agenis’ commission (Four cenis plus per pound), not only pays the agent a profit but pays wages of labor fo process the fish, buys lumber for packing boxes from his local sawmill, and other minor incidentals. . The money paid annually for storage and pro- cessing charges helps make our Alaska cold stor- ages planis sound, permanent, and profitable in- vesimenis. In addition fo this, the planis derive substantial profit from the ice, bait and services which the trollers purchase out of their income. The thonsands of dollars paid to Transportation Companies for taking frozen fish out of Alaska is the most profitable single item in the rate structure. (See Maritime Commission Reports) Those who know these facis have chosen 1o ig- nore them. They are facis which are unknown to the general public and are disregarded or unrecog- nized by Alaska merchanis. We direct atfention fo them at this time when the United Trollers of Alaska, Local 100 C.1.0., is siriving fo reach an " #Estimates are based on average annual production for the past ten years at 1950 prices. agreement with the buyers, an agreement for a realistic and fair price for iroll caught salmon, a price which will allow the primary producer, the troller, an enquitabie share of the profiis of his labor. We helieve that such an agreement can he reached within fen days. Faifure fo reach an agree- meni will result in inferruption and dislocations which will affeci every segment of the Southeast- ern Alaska economy.

We supported Labor Unions ¢ ing people of Alaska, in getti better labor laws for the terri- tory. We testified in behalf of the Government in the Court ca nvelving increased taxes on trap caught fish. We have been instrumental in obtaining improved Harbor and moorage facilities for Trollers and other fishermen in every Port in Alas We have extended aid and as: our members, whe have suffered fortune. We sponsored and successfully advocated the en- actment of a law to provide sickness and accident benefits for the commercial licensed fishermen — a measure of special benefit to operators of undocu- mented boats. We have successfully negotiated with oil and fuel deaers to avoid price increase for the smaller con- sumer. We were prime movers in the establishment of a Territorial Department of Fisheries. Our outstanding accomplishment was the 1950 price agreement providing a minimum price on all troll species of fish. A minimum price which put dollars in the pockets of every troller. We have maintained profitable relations with most fish buyers through successful collective bargain- ing. These are demenstrations of the effectiveness of the United Trollers of Alaska. Let it be understood that these accomplishments were made by the trollers as an organization. All trollers are not members of our organization. A large number of non-resi- dent non-members troll in Alaska every season. Our books are open to all trollers and we continually urge membership upon every troll fisherman, for we feel that all should share the cost as well as receive the benefits from cur united action. Any troller who wants the fxets and the benefits of member- ship should immediately contact a union member. In the past we have enjoyed public confidence and support of our objectives and accomplishments. We have tried to justify that public approval by acting responsibly and hon- estly both for the benefit of our members and in the public interest. In our present difficulty we aga solicit the public confidence and assure all Alaskans that any temporary dis- tress caused by failure to reach an agreement will only be for the real and ultimate benefit of all our citizens. amenis as an se in fuel opposed stance to some of dents and mis- UNITED TROLLERS OF ALASKA Lecal 100, C.1.C. \ ANDY BARLOW Executive Stcretary
