RUSTGhPI) GOES
TO CONFERENCE
OVER Fisheries
VIII Discuss Health and
SsniIation Regulations
With Fish Packers.

To attend a series OF round table
conferences with a committee of fish
packers representing the Association
Iof Pacific Fisheries. Attorney Cen
eral John Rustgard left ON the
steamer Alaska last night for Seat
tie. The purpose of the conferences
is to discuss a measure establishing
health and sanitary standards for
Alaskan packing plants. Mr Rust
gard said.
At the 1925 session Of the Alaska
Legislature, the Attorney General
was directed by special resolution
to study health and sanitation con
Iditions in the Alaskan fishing indus
try, the contract labor problem, etc,
and report on them to the 1927
Legislature wi tn recommendation
! for a law, or laws, to cope with
them. A general measure has been
drafted tentatively by. Mr.. Rustgard
which will form a basis of the con
Iferences at Seattle, he said.
Work Started in 1925
Mr., Rustgard said he started work
ing on these matters last summer.
He communicated with the cannery
companies, informing them of his
instructions, and asking for sugges-
tions. Last fall. on a trip to Wash
ington, ID. c., he conferred with of
ficials of the Bureau of Fisheries.
the U. S. Public Health Service and
the Bureau of Chemistry and the
Department Of Agriculture. From
these sources he obtained data on
standards which it was believed de
sirable to establish in the Territory.
He also secured from the Public
Health Service assurances of CO.
operation in carrying out health in
lspections of cannery workers and
assistance to the Territorial Health
Department in both health and sani-
tation matters. This was followed
by inspection of thousands of can
merry employees last spring for the
first time in the history of the fish
ing industry.
Returning to the Pacific Coast,
IMr. Rustgard continued his confer.
ences, meeting officials of most of
the important canning companies.
From all of them. he said, he Sc
cured hearty and willing support,
Finding them ready to further any
reasonable efforts to protect the
quality Of the packs and the health
of their employees.
