p rank McConaghy, an official
of Halferty Inc., said, “The
salmon situation certainly isn’t
"•ny better. In fact maybe a
little worse We are faced with
i large supply of tuna coming
n from Japan and South
America which is going on the
market at a low price. Also
there has been a lot of salmon
shipped in from Canada. ...”
During the 1952 salmon can
ning season many canneries on
Kodiak Island, and in other
parts of the territory, consoli
dated their canning operations
with other canneries to cut!
down expenses.
The local cannery opened for
a limited time late in the sea
son. Printed below is the let
ter from the headquarters of
the local cannery to the local
fishermen’s union:
“Gentlemen: Following our
letter of October 31st, the pro
blems for 1952 which your
members and the canneries
face are equally important to
all of us. Since this is true, wej
feel it is cur obligation to
stress the fact that the matter
should be given serious con
sideration while there is time
to dig into it and set up a pro
a-ram in our mutual interest
and thus prevent loss of earn
ings to your members.
“It is in no sense an imagi
nary situation.. It is real-so
real that serious harm will di
rectly fall to a large group of
people and also in addition
extend far beyond only the
welfare of persons in the front
lines of the Industry.
“We urge you to acquaint
your membership with this
situation without delay.
“Call on us for any data or
assistance that we can fur
nish.’’
Yours sincerely.
Halferty Canneries, Inc.
If the local cannery fails to
open for the 1953 season many
cannery workers, as well as
local fishermen, will be with
out employment.
