CANNERYMEN FIRM
ON PRICES
The Sound cannerymen are
paying 15 cents for Sockeyes.
Earlier in the season the purse
seiners demanded 25 cents.
They then tried to compromise
on 17 1-2 cents in case the
fish were plentiful and 22 1-2
cents if they were scarce. The
cannerymen contended these
prices were too high consider
ing the condition of the mar
ket. Some of the canners paid
from 18 to 20 cents for their
first Sockeyes but the ruling
price is now 15. This price,
however, will be maintained
’throughout the season and will
not be dropped to as low as 5
vents as has at times been the
ense in the past when the fish
were plentiful. Fifteen cents
will insure the fishermen a
profitable season,

DECISION AFFECTING
THE FISHERMEN
Fishermen who go to sea on
schooners to ply their trade of
fishing and not as members of
tftb crew, cannot recover sal
vage although they may save
the vessel from destruction.
This was the decision of Judge
E. E. Cushman in Ihe federal
district court at Seattle last
'‘month in the libel brought by
Martin Nelson and six other
fishermen against the San Juan
-Fishing & Packing Co.'s schoon
op Comet. This was the first
decision in this district on this
point and aroused consider
able interest among fishermen.
“While the Comet was 40 mile*
from Cape Flattery, July 2,
1012, her engines broke down.
The seven fishermen as vol
unteers, in the ship’s dory, tak
ing the only compass, rowed 40
miles to Tatoosh island and
summoned the government ves
sel Snohomish at Neah Bay.
They claimed salvage for sav
ing the Comet. They did not
bciong to the crew but sold the
fish they cought to the owner
of the vessel. Judge Cushman
in his decision said:
“It makes no difference
whether they were members of
the crew or not, they with the
owner and crew were in a
common enterprise, the suc
cess of which depended on the
safety of the schooner. When
they helped the ship they help
ed themselves.
“It is no necessary to con
sider the effect of using Ihe
ship’s dory and only compass,
although that fact alone would
defeat their right to salvage un
der the ruling of the ■supreme
court: ‘A passenger is not, as
oflicors and crew are, bound to
stand by the ship to the last;
he may leave her at any time
and seek his own safety; and
for extraordinary services and
assistance of extraordinary
means not furnished by the
equipment of the ship herself
by which she is saved from im
minent danger, he may have
salvage.’ ’’—Pacific Fisherman.

MORE BOATS FOR
ALASKA FISHERIES
A considerable extension of
(he activities of the Alaska Fish
eries Service of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries is
contemplated in the estimate of
the appropriation lor the fiscal
year 1014. In a communication
In the Secretary of the Treas
ury, later transmitcd to the
speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, Secretary William
G. Red field asks for the ap
propriation of an additional
sum of $108,500 to provide for
a sea going vessel, a tug and
six fast motorboats, and the in
crease of the staff by five as
sistant agents. This is the
greatest expansion of the Alas
ka Fisheries Service since its
establishment.
The sum of $100,000 is ex
pected to provide for the con
struction of a vessel suitable
for making trips to points any
where between Seattle and Un
alaska, a light draft tug for use
in the Rristol Bay region, three
launches for. Central Alaska
and three for Southeastern Al

“DISINTERESTED
MANAGEMENT"
President Wilson’s desire to
achieve a currenrey and hank
ing law free from “disinteres
ted management,” -so far, that
is. as the banking business
effects the field of general fi
nancial welfare, sounds the
keynote of the whole
purpose of this eras demand
for justice and righteousness.
Special privlige is lies) served
by special management. This
has been demonstrated in the
tariff and other issues. The
reed is for“disintercsted man
agement,” that is for manage
ment that lias no special inter
est in the subject under dis
cussion.
In state, nation and city,
the people are discarding old
doctrines, fostered by special
interestes, that the tarif must
be revised by its friends, that
railroads must be eontroled for
public service by railroad men,
that only lawyers can devise
rides for lawyers, and for
courts, that only stock and
bond holders must run street
railways, that financial mag
nates are alone competent to
determine financial policies
and to direct financial policies.
In the revolution in progress
the people, as usual, are mis
understood. They are charged
with attempting to upset exist
ing conditions and to substitute,
chats for orderly rule. As a
mateer of fact, they are attem
pting nothing of the kind. The
people are attempting no on
slaught upon railroads, or
banks or manufacturing con
cerns. All they ask is that
when laws affecting llies'e in
terests are enacted they lie
framed by “disinlercsled man
agement,” by men who have
no special interests to serve.
The people will be content if
they can secure “disinterested
management” in the solution
of the great financial, eco
nomic and industrial problems
of llie day.
