the

sec.-.
tion
of
the
Deep

Fishermen's
Union
has
petitioned
the
president
asking
for
the
removal
of
one
cent
of
the
two
cent
duty
per
pound
on
Canadian
halibut
shipped
into
the
United
States.
This
is
thought
to
be
largely
the
result
of
a
threat
of
the
local
halibut
fishermen
to
break
away
from
the
Deep
Sea
Fishermen's
Union

and
of
the
signing
of
a
petition
byl
the
residents
of
Prince
Rupert
asking
that
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
be
closed
against
the
Amertsan
fishing
boats
until
such
time
sk
the
duty
is
removed
on
Canadian
fish.
Members
of
the
local
salmon
fishermen's
union
are
trying
to
arrange
for
the
uniting
of
the
salmon
and
halibut
fishermen
under
one
organisation,
purely
Canadian,
but
nothing
definite1
has
been
done
and
since
the
American
fishermen
are
taking
steps
to
have
the
duty
cut.
In
half
there
Is
a
possibility
of
the
Deep
Sea
Fishermen's
Union
continuing
as
at
present.
The
petition
asking
for
the
closing
of
the
port
Is
being
largely
signed
and
another
petition
has
Just
been
started
which
American
fishermen
coming

are

to

the

of
