at
a
meetinir
in

Hall,

last
night
by
an
approximate
two-thirds
majority
vote
decided
in
favor
of
joining
up
with
jthe
Northern
British
Columbia
Fishermen's
Association
!
which
was
formerly
known
as
the
Northern
British
Co-j
lumbia
Salmon
Fishermen's
Association.
It
was
called
as
I
a
mass
meeting
of
all
classes
of
fishermen,
only
halibut
men
votln.
on
the
question
of,
affiliating
with
the
Northern
British
Columbia
Fishermen's
Association.
The
advisability
of
such
an
affiliation
by
the
fishermen
of
the
halibut
fleet
en
bloc
was
the
principal
topic
of
discussion
at
the
meeting
which
was
presided
over
by
Oustave
Norman,
president
of
the
Northern
B.
C.
Fishermen's
Association,
with
Charles
Lord
acting
as
secretary.
The
proposal
Is
that
a
halibut
branch
of
the
Northern
B.
C.
Fishermen's
Association
be
formed,
this
branch
to
have
its
own
autonomy
and
the
power
to
dictate
its
own
affairs.
In
the
event
of
the
salmon
fishermen's
branch
having
trouble
of
any
kind,
the
halibut
branch
would
nof
necessarily
be
Involved,
By
uniting,
however,
It
was
felt
that
there
would
be
mutual
benefits
in
many
directions.
It
was
also
decided
to
ascertain
the
views
of
the
Canadian
Halibut
I
Vessel
Owners'
Association
In
regard
to
such
an
affiliation.
At
pre-
sent,
the
official
organization
of
I
the
halibut
fishermen
is
the
Deepened
to
commit
themselves
upon
Sea
Fishermen's
Union.
The
next
meeting
of
the
Canadian
Halibut
Vessel
Owners'
Association
will
take
place
on
December
13.
Individual
boat
owners
who
were
present
at
the
fishermen's
meeting
are
reported
by
officers
of
the
meeting
to
have
expressed
thmslves
as
being
in
favor
of
the
halibut
fishermen
joining
up
with
the
Northern
B.
C.
Fishermen's
Association.
The
fishermen's
meeting
also
pas
-
sed
three
resolutions
which
were,
in
substance,
as
follows:
First,
demanding
that
the
Minister
of
Fisheries
take
action
following
his
statement
on
the
floor
of
the
House
of
Commons
last
summer
that
a
round
table
conference
would
be
held
with
a
view
to
having
the
two-cent
duty
on
Canadian
fish
entering
the
United
States
removed.
Second,
endorsing
representations
which
have
been
made
requesting
the
removal
of
the
policy
of
attachment
of
Japanese
fishing
licences
to
certain
canneries.
Third,
denouncing
the
attitude
of
the
provincial
government
that,
in
arbitration
of
disputes
between
fishermen
and
operators,
associations
will
not
be
permitted
to
represent
the
fishermen
on
such
boards
of
arbitration
but
Insisting
that
individual
fishermen
must
request
such
a
board,
citing
an
individual
cannery,
and
censuring
Hon.
S.
L.
Howe,
provincial
commissioner
of
fisheries,
for
having
shelved
until
near
the
end
of
the
season
his
decision
on
the
matter
of
an
arbitration
board
on
sockeye
prices
which
had
been
requested
of
him
by
the
glll-netters
branch
of
the
Fishermen's
Association
at
the
opening
of
last
season.
nothing
definite
was
decided
upon.
These
services
were

Christmas
Cheer
work
was
also
discussed.
Members
of
the
association
