The par SEATTLE i API Alaska salmon packing firms have started notifying, their 1953 employees that doldrum conditions in the industry make it impossible to assure re-employment next year. It Is an unprecedented move by the packers. Their letter to the employees describes 1953 as a "disastrous season." It says 1954 looks "equally bad." The form letters from packing firms are being received individually by some 18,000 workers. It is addressed to them as "former employees." The Fish and Wildlife Service report through Oct. 3 showed a pack of 2,882.083 cases, compared with 3.5O0.UO0 cases a year ago and nearly 4,500,000 in 1949. W. C. Arnold, managing director of Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.,' said today , the 5,000 workers hired by packing firms for this year's Bristol Bay Season probably will be trimmed nt least 25 to 50 per cent for 1954. Arnold said: "After this year's ruinous season, consolidation of many plants Is the least drastic step which could occur. Unless the economic situation improves, there Is a definite possibility all Bristol Bay canneries may be closed in 1954." . Bristol Bay is Alaska's top red salmon district. The 1953 pack there was little more than half of last, year's.
