CANNED SALMON MOVEMENT WILL

Efforts Are 10 Be Made for Deliveries Disrupt

 SEATTLE, May 21.-Steps design d to keep Alaska's canned salmon moving into consumption in spite ot possible disruption and reduction of ;hipping service as an effect of the var have highlighted the marketing activity on canned salmon during the past few weeks, it is revealed at {, meeting of the Pacific Canned Sal mon Distributors Association.
 Activity looking toward keeping lp a normal movement of the yet O be produced 1940 canned salmon pack into consuming centers has been in two phases.
 The first program now apparently successfully completed, was concerl- ed with assuring shipping space il ntercoastal steamers during the fall months, when a. movement of ap- oroximately 60000 tons of canned salmon to Gulf and Atlantic coast ports is anticipated. The second phase is an effort to secure lowe. carload weight requirements and 2 rate reduction from the transcontin- ental railroads.
 Conditions Faced
 The salmon industry united with representatives. of lumber, pulp, WOOL, flour, and other important PacifiS Northwest products to draw atten- tion of the Maritime Commission to the condition facing Northwest ship pefs resulting from withdrawal of many intercoastal ships during the past few months. Tonnage serving this area has been drastically re- duced because shipping companies have sold or chartered boats for ether routes.
 With the withdrawal of Norwegian and Danish ships from traffic. ship ping space on all routes has been reduced and many American carriers have been diverted to other routes. ! As result of the action of North west shippers and other Pacific Coast interests, the Maritime Com mission asked Congress. to pass the Buck Bill which authorized the Commission to sell or charter old U s. ships which had been laid up ! These ships are all over 20 years old
