 PITCHED BATTLE
 A pitched battle is now in progress, Lahagi said, between the Jap troops and another American force that landed simultaneously on the northern coast of Attu.
 A third American force at tempted to land on the east coast but was completely an initiated" on the beach. This is quoted statement of Va hagi.
 There is no confirmation of this Jap version of the Attu campaign from any American source.
 Official sources in Washing ton maintain strict silence.

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor, Daily Alaska Elm pire, Juneau, Alaska, May IT,
 There was an article appearing in last Fridays Empire regarding the prices the trollers were asking for salmon, and as this article might be misleading we are issuing this statement to clarify the prices asked.
 The article leads one to believe that our prices were based on the fresh fish prices that were quoted for the Seattle fresh fish market. AS the trollers in this part of the Division do not have a fresh fish market, it is necessary to sell the catch of trolled fish for mld-cure and freezing purposes.
 The OPA has set a ceiling price on frozen King Salmon at 9 cents F o. B. port of Seattle or Prince Rupert, and ceiling price on fro- zen Cohoes of 19 cents F. O. B. Seattle or Prince Rupert, which means that the trollers in Alaska after producing their fish and pay ing the freight charges into Alaska on all supplies and gear necessary in the catching of these fish, then as the producers have to accept the differential of the freight on the fish caught and shipped to Seattle which means that the trollers in Seattle who do not have this freight charge to pay, the fish produced by them for freezing purposes will net them at least the amount of the freight more. This, coupled with the fact that the trollers out of Seattle enjoy fresh fish market on which the OPA has set no ceiling prices gives these Seattle producers a dis tinct advantage over Alaska pro- duced fish.
 Because of the irregular boat service we cannot ship fish in the fresh fish market, and when we see such fancy prices as AS cents to 52 cents a pound quoted in the papers for fresh salmon market we would like to make it clear that the United Trollers of Alaska, Lo- cal No. 26, I. F A. w. A. have just signed a contract with the local buyers for group price as fol- lows.
 Large Red Kings of Twelve Pounds or over shall be Is cents per pound in minimum, but it is provided:
 In the event of the U S. Office of Price Administration setting 6 ceiling price on salmon processeo by "mild-curing this minimum shall be revised by negotiating with the Union on the principle of giv- ing members of the Union a di- rectly proportionate increase, but ir no event shall the minimum be less than Sixteen cents per pound: ano provided further
 In the event that the U. s. Office of Price Administration shall have established no ceiling price on sal mon processed by "mild-curing" by August f5, 1943, the minimum tc be paid members of the Union shall be Twenty-two Gents per opund, such minimum to be retroactive to the date of this agreement.
 On processing Whites and Small Reds Twelve Cents a pound: Co., hoes, Nine and one half cents a pound.
 We have presented our probleri to the OPA in Washington ano asked for a differential for the Alaska producers.
 We realize that this food fish is vltally necessary to the war ef- fort and we are. therefore. going fishing for the minimum prices which were guaranteed us by the buyers.
 Very truly yours.

 mittee, United Trollers of Alaska
