Long, continued dispute between
Japan and United States oper for
n1er's salmon fishing activities In

uolued largely around nnilitary-naual
issues, 1Oith American defense au-
thorities disturbed at presence of

to,oard settlement OF situation haze
been under ,Day for many months.
BY the Associated Press.
A formal note from Japan gave
the United States assurances today
that Japanese salmon fishing in
Alaskan waters would be ended.
American fishermen had complained
that the Japanese were depicting the
salmon resources, threatening the con-
tinued existence Of the Alaskan SAL
mon industry which employees $4,000
persons.
Japan's note advised that she was
suspending her three-year salmon
fishing survey begun in 1886, that
she would not issue licenses for SAL
mon fishing of Alaska and that she
would punish her citizens who fished
without licenses.
In note last November % the
United States called Japan's atten-
ton to the Seriousness OF the prob
lem"
Japan's assurances were accepted
by the United States which expressed
its qualification that the discussions
have been conducted by the two gov
ernments concerned in q friendly
manner"
Despite these assurances, the
Bureau Of Fisheries and the Coast
Guard were ordered to continue to
keep q close watch over fishing ac-
tivities in Alaskan waters"
Jubilation Of the American salmon
industry over the japanese announce
ment was overshadowed by a wage
controversy which already has de-
layed start Of this years work several
weeks.
Operators said they might not fish
this year unless the Canned Salmon
Industry's demand that five unions
take 10 per cent wage cut is met.
They said large stocks on hand made
the cut imperative
Secretary Of Labor Perkins yester-
day appointed a mediator.
Shipping records show ~ ships,
capable OF carrying 100000 tons OF
cargo and employing 1000 men, are
laid up in Puget Sound ports as a
result of the dispute

Japanese agreement, Mrs. J. c. Moran
president and business agent Of the
Ketchikan Local of the Southern
