THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE STORY
ASSOCIATION EXPLAINS WHY
IT REFUSES TO GRANT
DEMAND.
-1
A few days ago, the Progressive
Miner while out looking for news
items met the representative of
the Deep Water Fishermen’s Union
who has been visiting every port
| in Southeastern Alaska in an en
deavor to obtain signatures in sup
port of the striking fishermen of
Seattle. The strikers’ representa
tive briefly stated the grievance
that led to the strike, the reason
ableness of which greatly appealed
to the Progressive-Miner. Now
comes the representative of the boat
owners association with a state
ment, explaining the other side of
the story- The statement appeared
in a recent issue of the Seattle
Times and is as follows:
Explaining why it refuses to
grant the demand of the striking
halibut fishermen that settlement
be made with them in the port
where the fish are sold, the Fishing
Vessel Owners' Association, of this
port, issued a statement this morn
ing, pointing out that the Seattle
credit system for its vessels does
not extend to Prince Rupert, B. C.
Since last summer a large part of
the Seattle schooners’ catches has
been sold in the British Columbia
port,
The association maintains that
the present system of making set
tlement in Seattle works hardship
on no one. It challenges P. B. Gill,
of the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific
to prove a single case where the
family of a fisherman has suffered
from want under the present plan
if he had money due him- Gill re
cently issued a statement in behalf
of the striking fishermen in which
he raised that point.
The Fishing Vessel Owners’ As
sociation’s statement was given out
by Capt. John Gibson, manager. It
follows:
Owners’ Statement.
The union makes two demands
that are closely connected and must
be considered together as their in
tent and purpose would work on
parallel lines. These demands are:
First, settlement to be made in the
port where the fish are sold, and
second, second, settlement to be
made between the captain, or own
er, and the fishermen.
As a reason for these demands.
Mr. Gill says that heretofore it has
been the custom to make settle
ment in the vessel’s home port only.
This is true. It is not true, how
ever, that fishermen were away
as long as six months without draw
j ing a dollar of their money. A
fisherman when employed jn one of
our vessels has always received all
the money he needed, provided it
was coming to him. In case he
had a family in Seattle or in its
neighborhood, the custom has been
for the vessel’s skipper to send an
order to the outfitting store in Se
attle to supply the man’s wife with
funds to the approximate limit of
his earnings. In many cases where
the man had no money due him.
the captain and the store have ad
vanced him and his family both
funds and groceries.
Ask Union for Proof.
We challenge Mr. Gill to prove
a single instance in which the wife
and family of a fisherman have suf
j fered from want when he had mon
ey due him. Even at present, when
the vessels are landing fish in
Prince Kupert, B. C., a foreign
port, the men are being supplied
with all needed funds
The association holds that in the
] present circumstances the union is
not justified in its demands for
the following reasons: Prince Ru
pert is a foreign port and the Seat
tle credit system for our vessels
does not extend to that city. As
the men are partners in the ex
penses, they together with the own
er, should provide for the outgoing
trip before settling up. In some
cases the cost of supplies is taken
out of the proceeds before the skip
per receives payment for the fish
sold.
Furthermore, the Canadian cus
toms laws do not allow American
i vessels to leave men in that coun
it ry’s ports, although the immigra
tion authorities are given consider
able discretionary power in the mat
ter and in certain circumstances
: may allow fishermen to leave a
| vessel when there is employment in
sight for them. Otherwise the ves
sels are required to carry their men
to an American port.
Burden on Vessels
We believe that before the union
demand is justified, the union must
pepare to take care of its mem
bers after they are paid off in
Frince Rupert and not allow them
to become a burden to the vessels,
as is the case at present.
The other demand, that settle
ment be made between the captain,
or owner, and the fishermen, was
unquestionably intended to do away
with the custom of settling in the
stores or in any office where rec
ords could be kept. The proposed
plan in one strike would destroy
all the chances of the stores and
the vessel owners to collect back
bills from the fishermen. And it
would tend to make of the skipper
a walking bank and expose him to
all the annoyances and dangers of
carrying on his person a large
amount of money while in port.
We contend that the men at
present have absolutely no ground
for complaint, as they are afforded
all possible convenience at the of

24 hours from the time the fish
are sold.
In regard to Mr- Gill’s report on
the progress of the strike, we may
say in reply that the situation is
unchanged, nothing having hap
pened that would tend to weaken
either one side or the other. It is
•ot correct, as Mr. Gill says, that
Seattle schooners have signed up
with the union. He probably re
fers to seine boats which' are not
members of our association, and
over which we have no control.
These boats engage in halibut fish
ing only for short periods and be
ing unorganized will naturally fall
easy victims to any demands that
the union may make. Some of
them do not even carry union crews
As to the association’s position,
it is only necessary to say that we
never have made .any demands on
the union. The union on the con
trary has made a great many de
mands on us. As our members at
last decided they could not yield
any more, the union called a strike

and have not, nor do weintend in

to be unfaithful to their arganiza
