SELBOVI.i YILL FISH, S^YS BOUGHS (cent)
attempting to nego
tiate with the Indus
try ‘ because of the
confusion attendant
upon the election to
determine bargaining
rights, Mr. D oug1as
said the executive
committej of the Sel
dovia local was ready
to resume talks with
the Industry at a mo
ment's notice,
Mr. Douglas ex
plained that l.-St
Monday's move was
mado by the Seldovia
fishermen because of
the failure ' of the
^FTJ to support fish
ermen in their negot
iations with the In
dustry*.
By releasing CIO
tendermen in the Cook
Inl^t ..rea, fishermen
were 1 jf t .lone if,
their attempt to r,ug
btiate, he said.
Mr. Dougl .s fur

forced to conduct
their negotiations
with the Industry
thr o ugh ou t sid er s.
Until last year no
Saldovia representa
tive sat in on Indus
try-union discussion.
TT? i th the change
two yj;jrs ago, local
fisherman gained con
siderably in improved
fish prices*, It is
felt, according' to
Mr. Douglas, that
last week’s ch.nge in
affiliation will mean
even more to fisher
men in batter fish
pr i c a s .
Local fishermen
r.ra this year asking '
f or the s ■me f i sh
prices as those gr ,n
tad Kodiak fisherman'.
Kodiak fishermen
signed' an agreement
several weeks ago.'

The Seldovia local
of the *xFU was trans
ferred as a body to
tho *F of L, with of
ficers and committees
remaining intact a ^
This was one' of the '
stipulations laid
down before the
change was made*
The affiliation
with the xiF of L
gives the fishermen
of Lower Cook Inlet,
to be • headquartered
' in Seldovia, the po
' w-er of self-govern
ment, with higher re
sponsibility resting
only with.the Nation
al Seafarer’s Union,
through which the lo
cal is chartered*
Mr, Douglas* said

said if was his hope
