Presiding
The
mass
meeting
was
presided
over
by
Oustave
Norman,
president
of
the
Northern
British
Columbia
Salmon
Fishermen's
Association,
and
J.
M.
Morrison,
agent
of
the
Deep
Sea
Flshcrmens
Union,
was
pressed
into
service
as
secretary
of
the
meeting.
The
attendance
con
sisted
practically
entirely
of
fish
crmen
and
boat
owners.
Leaders
In
the
discussion
at
the
meeting
were
Mike
Anderson
and
Charles
Lord,
both
of
whom
spoke
on
numerous
occasions.
In
connection
with
the
resolution
asking
for
a
subsidy
of
at
least
2c
per
pound
on
fish,
it
was
declared
that
the
salmon
fishermen
could
not
meet
expenses
and
make
a
living
with
a
price
of
8c
and
4c.
The
least
that
they
could
subsist
on
was
10c
and
8c.
Likewise,
the
halibut
fishermen
could
not
carry
on
with
such
prices
as
6c
and
3c.
The
view
was
expressed
that,
if
the
farmers
were
entitled
to
a
bonus
on
wheat,
the
fishermen
were
equally
entitled
to
a
bonus
on
fish.
Price
ot
Gasoline
The
resolution
urging
all
con-
isumers
of
gasoline
to
purchase
their
fuel
from
one
company
replaced
a
proposed
resolution
to
the
effect
that,
whereas
