.ReCOnversion

WASHINGTON. Dec.
3 (UP)-President Tru-
man today asked 100000
strikers to resume work
at once in the nationwide
General Motors system.
The President m a de
the appeal in a message
to Congress in which he
asked for authority to
e S a blish h a system of
fact finding boards to
cope with labor disputes.
Expressing his disappoint-
ment that the labor-manage-
ment conference had not
produced an agreement on
machinery to settle existing
strikes, the President said it
was now the duty of .he
government ito act on its
own"
FACT-FTNDING SYSTEM
The President recommended
establishment Of a fact-hnding
system with boards to operate
along the general lines of the
emergency board provided for
under the Railway Labor Act.
The President. without waiting
for Congress to act, said he would
set up Immediately a fact-finding
board in the dispute between the
JAW and General Motors.
"While this board will not
have the statutory powers which
l hope the Congress soon will
authorize" the President said in
a special message, T am sure
that the American people will
expect the employer and the
employees to cooperate with the
board as fully as If appropriate
legislation already had been
passed"
APPEALS TO PATRIOTISM
The President appealed to the
patriotism of both parties in the
General Motors dispute and asked
all the workers TO return TO
work Immediately"
He also requested GM ito pro-
ceed energetically with full pro-
duction."
After describing the GM strike
as the major obstacle holding up
our reconversion program" the
President said he was appointing
/ a similar board 10 deal with the
threatened strike involving the
United States Steel Corp. and the
United Steel Workers (CIO).
He asked the employees to re-
main at work pending the report
of the board findings and recon-
mendations.

1945 ALASKA SALMON PACK. ABOUT ENDED
Fall Seasons Now Under Way CannerY Opera
 lions About Completed

All trap fishing for salmon ir Alaska is now closed for the 194s season, the Fish and Widlife Service here disclosed today in summarizing the present status of the salmon sea- son.
 Canning operations also are just about completed for 1945. Most prom inent exceptions being the Yakutat cannery Copper River and possibly Kodiak. The continuous season at Yakutat will not close until Sep- tember 30.
 Except for Taku and Stikine Riv- CT gill netting and trolling, all fish ing in Southeast Alaska, except the Yakutat district, is now closed until the fall season opens to trolling and seining, from october 20 to Novem- Der 30. Taku River opened last Sat- urday for the 15-day fall season and the Stikine is also open until September IS, the date on which commercial trollers on Southeast waters will likewise pull in their lines.
 To the westward, the Copper Riv- CT fall season is now open until Sep tember Is. The Cook Inlet season is open from September 1 to Sep tember TO- Chignik, closed on Aug ust II, is re-opened through the month of September, but in view of the very poor run there this year, it is doubted that there will be any further fishing in that section this year.
 Part of the Kodiak district re- opened September till September 30 and it is possible that there may be cannery operation in minor way there during the fall season. Bristol Bay Re-opened for the silver season on August 3, with no closing date, but there is very little com mercial exploitation of the silver runs there.
 Alaska Peninsula districts fall sea. son extends from September tC September 30.
 In general, fishing from here on 1T Southeast Alaska will be mainly b. troller and gill netters, with catches sold to cold storage outlets. To thu Westward, salteries will take mos of the very minor salmon catche expected.
