It
was
decided
by
the
city
council
last
night,
at
the
suggestion
of
Aid.
Macdonald,
to
invite
Senator
Gideon
Robertson,
federal
minister
of
labor,
during
his
forthcoming
tour
of
the
Dominion
to
observe
unemployment
conditions,
to
Include
Prince

in
his
Itinerary
so
he
may
acquaint
himself
personally
with
the
local
situation.
Another
suggestion
the
council
approved
of
was
one
from
Aid.
Rud-derham
to
the
effect
that
Hon.
W.
H.
Druhn,
provincial
minister
of
public
works,
on
a
forthcoming
visit
t"PririceyRuperti
be
tirged:to
have
at
least
$100,000
additional
appropriated
for
construction
of
the
Prince
Rupert-Terrace
highway.
This
would
help
to
relieve
unemployment
here
and
would
also
aid
in
promoting
real
progress
on
the
road
construction.
He
thought
this
might
fairly
be
asked
In
view
of
the
fact
that
the
government
was
definitely
committed
to
completion
of
the
road.

on

During
"Strike"
Local
salmon
fishermen,
at
a
largely
attended
meeting
last
night
In
the
city
council
chamber,
discussed
the
present
market
situation
for
fish
and.
In
the
course
of
the
pro
ceedings,
passed
a
unanimous
vote
of
censure
upon
the
Dally
News
for
publishing
"apparent
negative
propaganda
against
the
fishermen."
It
was
announced
this
morning
that
this
vote
of
censure
had
been
passed
unanimously
by
the
meeting.
An
Item,
headed
"Much
Salmon
Moving
In,"'
published
In
this
paper
yesterday,
was
the
Immediate
cause
for
the
vote
of
censure.
This
Item
merely
enumerated
a
list
of
flshpackers
that
had
arrived
with
fish
over
the
week-end.
In
view
of
their
being
"on
strike"
for
higher
prices,
the
fishermen,
apparently,
resented
this
Information
being
published.
The
meeting,
apparently.
In
making
the
overt
move,
took
no
heed
of
the
fact
that
the
Dally
News
has
consistently
In
the
past
lent
Its
columns
at
great
length
to
the
exposition
of
the
views
of
fishermen
both
from
public
meetings
and
through
correspondence
from
their
representatives.
In
view
of
the
vote
of
censure
which
had
been
passed,
officials
of
the
fishermen
declined
to
announce
what
else,
If
anything,
had
transpired
at
the
meeting.

He
