opening
ot
the
north
coast
sock-eye
season
on,
June
29.
The
fishermen
members
of
the,
United
Fishermen
and
Allied
Workers
Union
and
the
Native
Brotherhood
of
B.
C
are
Insisting
that
agreements
be
reached
covering
all
types
of
gillnet-caught
salmon
before
they
dip
their
nets
for
sockeye.
The
sock-
eye
price
already
has
been
set
at
15
cents
a
pound
for
all
areas,
union
officials
say.
Separating
the
two
groups
is
a
margin
of
only
one-quarter
cent
a
pound,
according
to
the
fishermen.
Asiing
3y2
cents
a
pound
in
the
Skeesa
and
Naas
river
districts,
they
rejected
a
,
canners'
offer
cl
3Vi
cents,
which
was
an
increase
of
one-quarter
cent
a
pound
over
the
1943
price.
A
compromise
offer
covering
prices
for
a
two-year
period
also
was
rejected
by
the
fishernjeh.
This
compromise
would
allow
the
fishermen
3Vi
cents
a
pound
for
pinks
and
chums
in
the
1947
season,
and
3
cents
a
pound
dur
ing
1948.
It
whs
made
in
reply
to
a
bid
by
the
fishermen
for
a
two-ye"ar
agreement
with
the
price
set
at
3V2
?nts
a
pound
for
both
1947
and
1948.
Despite
the
lack
vi
accord
so
far,
the
fishermen
feel
hopeful
that
settlement
will
be
reached
before
June
29
and
that
there
will
be
no
delay
In
starting
the
sockeye
run
on
that
date.
The
pink
and
chum
season
occurs
on
the
Skesna
and
Naas
in
July
and
August.
