We’re Sorry!
For the past two weeks we
have completely run out of
copies of the Mirror, with none
being available at Wodlingers or
Knudsen’s or the Mirror office.
We also found it necessary to re
fuse copies to a number of sales
boys—simply because we didn’t
have any left.
We have been publishing 2,100
copies weekly, and this week our
press run will jump to 2200 in
an effort to avoid recurrence of
the past two weeks. With this in
creased press run the Kodiak
Mirror will be publishing ap
proximately 700 more copies
than were printed last June.
Read the classifieds for profit
use them for results.

U. S. Demands
Crab Gear Talks
At Tokyo Meet
The U.S. State Department, after
strong urging from Alaska Senator
E. L. (Bob) Bartlett has requested
the Soviet government meet with
American representatives to dis
cuss measures for protection of
Kodiak crab fishermen from Rus
sian trawling efforts.
The crab talks are to be ar
ranged to be held in Tokyo this
month when the North Pacific
Fisheries Commission and Fur Seal
Commission meet there. Russia is
a member of the fur seal treaty but
not of the fisheries commission.
Bartlett cited the case of the
crab boat Oceanic, owned by Ko
diak Skipper Lloyd Cannon, in
which a Russian trawler caused
the loss of considerable gear. This
accurred after the Russian officials
tiad announced their fishing fleet
tiad been instructed to keep clear
)f king crab areas near Kodiak.
The Alaska Senator again
warned of possible violence result
ing should similar incidents occur
again.
