FAILED TO AGREE ON
RESOLUTION
MEETING OF THE DIFFERENT
FISHERIES UNION COMMIT
TEES AND PROTECTIVE AS
ISOLATION FALL FLAT FROM
THE VERY START.

There was a meeting held ycster-
day At the Chamber of Commerce
rooms in this city, al which there were
4 score or more Of people, all inter-
csted in the fisheries question in var
ious and earnest ways, and the object
| OF that meeting was to ascertain the
latitude of the gill-net fishermen to-
ward the pound-nct and seincrs Of the
lower river. There we're seven or
eight Of the latter, with groups from
the gillnettcrs union, and a number
Of the Business Mems committee in
charge of the protective fisheries bill;
and Mes:rs. Fl. NJ. Lorntsen and Ed.
Rosenberg, the official representatives
OF the local and coast fisheries unions,
were also present
The discussion, or what there was
Of il was opened by the presentation
Of the following resolution, as coming
from the pound-netters and seiners'
union, and the same having been duly
read, was repudiated by Messrs.
Lorntsen and Rosenberg, who declin-
cd to sign the same under any condi-
tions whatever. The text Of the reso-
luton was as follows:
"In view OF the general misunder-
standing that exists in regard to the
position taken by the Columbia River
Fishermen's Protective Association
on the fishing question, and with a
desire to plainly define our position
on this important question, we there
fore subscribe the following as the
belief and principles Of our respective
organization, we do not believe or
contend that the Pound Nets and
Seines, as operated on the Columbia
River, are more destructive to salmon
than the Gill Nets are, and that each
class OF gear is destructive only in
proportion to the percentage Of fish it
catches. And we disclaim any hos
tility to the maintenance and opera
ton of Pound Nets and Seines, and
we contend that they should be ae-
Il
corded the same privilege that is en-
ljoyed BY the Gill Net fishermen, and
we hereby pledge the support of our
Irrespective organization to the sup
port OF such laws as will insure a
fair and impartial regulation Of law"
This being all that was offered in
behalf Of the session, Of distinctive
and effective sort, adjournment was
taken.
II is not known just what steps the
pound-net men and seiners will take
in the premises, but it is quite certain
they are not feeling any too friendly
toward the gill-netters and are not
likely to contribute much to the cam
paign that is being waged so hotly
and cleverly over the state to save the
salmon fisheries from the bedevilment
Of the traps and wheels.
