Anderson, director of the A -
laska Fisheries Board, re
quested that his letter, .n
wh ch he stated that the AFB
favored the request of BSFU,
1 be introduced into the tran
! script of the hearing which
| began Thursday.
J Anderson recently received
■ a letter from Jim Downey of
[the Bering Sea Fishermen’s
Union in which he claimed
| that 70% of the members had
signed pledge cards asking
for certification as the bar
gaining agency for the Bristol
Bay area.
Downey’s ietter further
stated that they are opposed
to a merger with the I. L. W.
U. and that they are fully
capable of “represents
themselves free from non
resident domination located
2,000 miles away.”
Karl Brunstad, Kodiak resi
dent and member of the A
laska Fisheries Board, said
the situation in Bristol Bay
was similiar to one that existed
here several years ago.
Bruustad said, “pressure
has been brought to bear on
the Kodiak fishermen |rom
time to time by the “Alaska
Fishermen,s Union” of San
h rancisco to be absorbed by
that body. Such would mean
that the policy would be
formed by the San Francisco
headquarters. Kodiak fisher
men have always stubbornly
refused and have always op
posed the effort of anyone
outside to form its policy.”
Brunstad said the last per
son here from San Francisco
union was W. R. Wassenkari.
He was here in 1946.
