SAN DIEGO, Calif. (/P)—Some
of the country’s biggest tuna can

market slump today. Their action J
brought about a threatened fishing j
fleet tie-up here.
The canners announced aban- ;
donment of a 20-year policy of
paying fishermen the dockside
prices prevailing at the start of
fishing cruises.
Instead, they said, delivery-date
prices would be paid.
The AFL cannery and fisher
men’s union countered by refus
, ing to clear boats until the prevail
ing dockside prices—$340 a ton for
yellowfin and $320 for skipjack—
are guaranteed.
Canners said they felt it neces
sary to protect themselves against
a possible consumers market drop
I while boats are out. Larges ones
now cruise as long as 120 days and
return with catches of 400 tons or
more.
