anuary 6, 1945. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
 The Anchorage Branrh of the Alaska Fishtrmen's Union, being in special session, and by unan- imous decision, hereby state and petition.
 We are in receipt of a com munication which reads as fol- lows:
 sThe packers Of Cooks Inlet have requested the Bureau of Fisheries to change the law re- quiring gill nets to be 600 feet apart and are now requesting thao the distance be made 800 feet apart.' with exception of one packer.)
 The proposed change is, in ac- ual fact, detrimental and discrim inatory to individuals engaged in gill netting. It would arbitrarily remove 25 per cent of the fish ermen now locoted and engaged in fishing from this field, they be ing part of the permanent pop ulation of the Territory, with permanent facilities for fishing.
 This proposed change in regu- lations does not affect trapsites but enhances their efficiency at the expense of the individual gill netter.
 This would, in effect, remove in the aggregate 45 miles of proven fishable grounds from production.
 It would necessitate the ad- justment of the fishing rights of APO fishermen with resultant confusion, loss of established composites and permanent homes. It would neceesitate the re- moval of 100 fishermen from the beach with no fishable sites, due

to lack of transportation, remote ness from canner1es.
 This above mentioned confus- ion would result in the loss of much of the seoson's pack, seri- ously disturbing the economic structure of the business and community.
 Let it be understood by those not acquainted with he gill net itng on Cooks Inlet that many localities of the Inlet are not fishable for the following req sons:
 Closed Areas, one miles on each side of all rivers and streams.
 Areos closed for conservation.
 Areas closed for Indian reser- vations.
 Many beaches are unfishable due to strong tides, prevailing winds, and unnavigable waters.
 The gill netters as affected by ohis proposed change are an in- tegra1 part of the permanent so- cia1 and economic structure of the Territory and this district and as such should have voice and con- sideration in any changes effect ing their livelihood, residence and accepted rights.
