NEW YORK - The [. S.

 One Plant To
 Operate Here

JUNEAU - Under direction from the War Production Board. Salmon Industry representatives held a re- cent meeting in Seattle for the pur- pose of concentrating the industry for the 1943 season. The reason for the consolidation of the packing is given as a shortage of labor and floating gear. together with a lack of shipping space northbound
 It is understood that the plan contemplates the consolidation of all three eanneries at Wrangeu to operate as one plant. the FarWest Company. which means the closing of the two other plants operated by A. R Brueger. In tbe Ketchikan area. Union Bay, Rose Inlet and George Inlet are recommended to close. In kerchikau proper. three in dependent plants are supposed to elose-Whiz Fish Company. Baleom Payne and Independent cannery.
 There has been considerable agi- tation in Ketchikan over the clos ing of the three plants in Ketehj- kan. The Chamber of Commerce has informed the committee in charge that there is an adequate supply of labor available for the operation of all eonneries directly in Ketchikan They have also pointed out that the closing of three other canneries in that area will necessitate the oper- ation of every canning line avail able if there is a good run of fish.
 There was considerable criticism of the fact that no notice was given to Ketchikan or the seiner's Union in that vicinity. The closing of in dependent cannefies where a large percentage of the pack is composed of seine fish has not been too fav- orably received by the fishermen.
 It is not known if the recommen- dations of the committee will be followed by WIPE but it is apparent that there will be a curtailment of the salmon pack in Alaska for the coming season.

WIPE CUTS NEWSPRINT
 FOR PAPERS 10 PERCENT

WASHINGTON - The War Pro- auction Board has ordered every newspapers use of newsprint pap- CT in 1943 cut back to the tonnage used in 1941 to produce it's net paid circulation-a formula which re- duees the nationwide newsprint consumption an estimated 10 per cent.
 4. G. Chandler, head of the WPB Printing and Publishing Division. added that the publishers must ex- pect this order to be followed by a second and perhaps a third re- duction this year.
 The new order limits magazines to 90 percent of the tonnage used by each publisher in 1942, decIar- ing this will have the same effect as the newspaper order.
 Newsprint officials emphasized that the estimated 10 percent cut for the industry by no means meant that each publisher will be cut for the industry will be cut one-tenth. More than 10000 weekiles and small dailies were exempted from the order by a provision excusing from it's terms any publisher who uses 25 tons or less of print paper In any quarter after January 1, 1943.
 Chandler said tnIs allowance would exempt ordinary six page papers with high averages of eight pages daily and an average daily circulation of 5000.
