BEST FISH STORY OF YEAR |

on ee

Fishermén win victory on salmon prices

With agreement reached
last weekend hours before
a strike deadline, United
Fishermen and Allied Work-
ers Union won a signal vic-
tory on 1958 salmon prices.

James Sinclair, now spokes-
man for the Fisheries Associ-
ation of B.C., used all the
prestige of his former position
as fisheries minister in the St.
Laurent government to im-

press fishermen with the

“fairness’ of his offer for the

anticipated big 1958 catch,
The offer, given wide pub-

licity in the daily press, on

radio and TV, ran counter to

the current propaganda theme
of big business, that workers
must hold the line on wages
and if they want more money
they must produce -more

goods.

Under Sinclair’s offer, the
more salmon fishermen caught
the less they would get for it
—28 cents a pound if the
catch . were below 450,000
cases; 27 cents for a catch be-
low 550,000 cases; 26 cents for
a catch of 650,000 cases or

more. Sinclair’s argument was
that a ‘catch of 450,000 cases
could be sold, but a larger
catch would neccessitate a
carryover.

To compensate for the price
cut — at 26 cents, two cents
below last year’s price—Sin-
clair held: out the inducement
of $6 million added to fisher-
men’s incomes as a result of
the anticipated huge catch. To
most fishermen, this was by
far and away the best fish
story of the year. :

They indicated what they

thought of it by voting over
75 percent to reject the offer
and strike; if necessary, for
1957 prices.

The Fisheries Association,
which had been predicting
blue ruin for the industry and
loss of markets because of
the fishermen’s demands, hop-
ing to influence the fisher-
men’s vote in its favor,
promptly settled for last year’s
salmon price of 28 cents a
pound for sockeye, with some

small increases -for other
specie.
