A petition to President Eieenhower urg
ing that he use his emergency powers to
restrict employment in the Bristol Bay sal
mon fisheries this year to residents of
the area only has been sent in, accord
ing to Robert C. Kalleriberg, Chairman of
the Alaska Fisheries Board v;hich recently
convened in Juneau.
’’Congress shouxu aot to correct the
mistakes in fishery i-iaiu^eMent uuwi thru
the years# Since there isuft time for that
before the 1954 fishing season# it*8 now
up to the President to aot# H Kalleriberg
said. Hie Bering Sea Fishermen*8 Union will
also back this stand and press for presi
dential action#
The proposal is that only resident
Alaskans be given employment in salmon
canneries and in the actual fishing jobs*
A number of skilled engineers and other
technical employes would have to be
brought in from Outsido, obviously*
Kallenberg said the outlook in the
fishery is for a season paralleling that
of 1942, when operations were concentrated
under wartine emergence regulptlons and
only residents of AlasV-p were employed
on Br5 stol Bay* He spid, further, that
1942 turned out to be a highly success
ful year for operators under this arrange
ment and he believes Bristol Bay can
duplicate it this year, as there are
enough men here to men the boats and
cannery lines, anu r.lont the seme amount
of gear waiting to fish*
If large numbersof non-resident v/ork—
ers are brought in, as is the usual
oustom of the salmon canning companies*
there is no doubt this area will be a
disaster area again next winters
Three see sons in a row have been bad
on the Bay* Last year 4C0 fewer men work
ed, according to the BSFU*s tally5 than
in 1952.
* At the present standing it seems that
only one cannery will operate on the
llushagak this season^-the FAF plant here
and it will employ local residents only*
It is lively that only one cannery will
operate in each of the hgegik and Ugashik
areas and perhaps two kin the Naknek
Kvichak district.
.Jim Downey, the B.S.F.U^s secretary,
said that unless residents are allowed
to have all the available employment ther
will be need for complete subsidization
of the unemployment to prevent starvation
