SALMON STRIKE
 CALLED; MIGHT.
 LAST $ WEEKS
Buyers Will Not Promise to Make Purchases, Even
 at Reduced Rate

Both sides of the salmon strike appear to have settled down to stick the matter out.
 Buyers have refused to continue purchasing at the rate of IA cents per pound for large reds, cents for small reds and whites and T cents for echoes, and fishermen have declared that they will not fish for the offered rate of IA, 8, 5 and cents.
 The latter statement is not al- together true, it is said, in the sense that the fishermen delegated a committee to meet buyers on the matter when the question of a price cut first arose, and, accord ing to R. T. Harris, Port Delegate the majority of the buyers would not promise to begin at the re- duced rate, and the trollers felt that if only a few could sell it would be better for all to hold for a higher price.
 The concensus at the present time of both buyers and fisher men is that the salmon fleet will not move now until the middle oi July or the first of August. Fishermen Ask More
 To compensate for this lay-up which the fishermen feel would have lasted until after July l, ir any case, they are asking an in. creased rate of IS cents per poune for large reds, 10 cents for smal reds, ' cents for whites, and cents for echoes, the latter tw, being the same as before the pro posed reduction and the forme two representing an increase of cents per pound.
