The decline of the salmon catch fs, of course, due to the same thing that has brought about the scandalous labor sttuation that IT had found tn the Chinese gangs of Alaska greed. Two years ago, the Alaskans held a grand jury hearing at Valdes, headquarters for the Third or West ern division of Alaska.
