RESIDENT PAY |NBARR!ER TO OPERATION
Time Growing Short for Agreement Over Major
 Stumbling Block

KETCHIkAN, Alaska, July 12-R --One stumbling block toward op- eration of salmon canneries in this area this season was eliminated to- day with signing of an agreement between the CIO-Seiners Union and the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, on fish prices but negotiations were stalemated with cannery workers.
 With the canning season open ing in Southeast Alaska next Tues day, time for reaching wage agreement in the dispute over the differential between the seasons guarantees for nonresident and resident workers was growing short.
 The fish prices agreed upon were: Pinks, g cents each; Chums, 24; Cohoes. AT; Reds, 59; Kings, S1.97.
 The operators have offered non- resident cannery workers $455 for 416 hours straight time, union spokesman said The offer to resi- dents was $246 if working in town and $315 if out of town. Resident workers also pay their own board and room, which is given to non- residents.
 Albin Peterson, Seattle, a Federal Conciliator, has been attending ne- gotiation sessions, which were to resume this afternoon.
 Mrs. Tena HaineS, member of the Union Negotiating Committee, said the union, certified hy the National Labor Relations Board as bargain ing agent, demands that residents receive the same pay as non-resi- dents and that unless the industry's stand is changed the canneries wont operate"

ELLIS HITS TRANSFER OF
 VETS MONEY

KETCHIKAN, July 12-tREMayor Robert Ellis, Chairman of the Alas ka World War II Veterans Board, called upon board members today to decline a request that the Board repay the Alaska general fund a $350,000 advance made last year to start a revolving fund for Veter- ans loans and bonuses.
 Territorial Attorney General Ralph Rivers, acting for the Alas ka Board of Administration, made the request. The Board held an emergency session this week be- cause of Alaskas serious financial situation with only $8,000 in the general fund after paying June salaries, pensions and welfare com mitments.
 T see no reason why Veterans should be asked to bail out other departments from the predicament the Legislature left them in," Ellis said
 The Board of Administration had suggested the $350000 advance be returned temporarily until more revenue is received from the fall fish pack.
 Ellis said that the sales tax set up to finance the revolving fund had provided a total of $1,520,00O, which had nearly all been paid out in bonuses and loans.
 "The Board of Administration has not interfered with. other ear marked funds and we regard the Veterans fund just as vital, Ellis said. "The wording of the law inn plies no repayment was expected for four years.
