Illumed On Losses
SEATTLE, i/P) — The shipping
tie-up during the waterfront strike
I om last September to Decemebr
was blamed today by G. W. Skin
ner. president of the Alaska Pacif
ic Salmon company, for a net loss
of SI92.451.46 in 1946 operations.
Ilis annual report said the year’s
sales amounted to $999,282.26.
Profits from the strike-bound

he said.
The 1946 pack was 95,557 cases
from two canneries on Bristol Bay
and a point operation with the Pa
cific American Fisheries, Inc., at
Squaw Harbor. The arrangement
will continue through 1947 and

five-year agreement through
which the Columbia River Pack
ers association’s fish from the
Nushagak River will be packed
at Alaska Pacific’s Dillnigham
cannery. The company has also
acquired additional fishing rights
at Sand Point, Alaska.
