WILLIAMS GIVES
TESTIMONY

Lew NJ. Williams, secretary OF
Alaska appeared at the Interna-
tional Fisheries Commission hear
ing in Juneau last Saturday, along
with Andy Barlow of Wrangell to
present the case against the split
halibut season on behalf of Wran-
CELL.
In a letter to Chamber of Com
merce President Peter c. McCor-
mack, Williams gave a resume Oh
the hearing proceedings, together
with a statement he presented to
the commission.
His letter follows:
Peter C. Mccormack, President
Wrangell Chamber of Commerce
Dear Pete
l thought you and the Chamber
would be interested in a brief re-
port on the hearing held in Juneau
last Saturday by the International
Fisheries Commission on the split
season for halibut fishing.
There was an excellent turnout,
and l think a very good case on
the whole was presented on behalf
of all Southeast Alaska w. M.
Chapman, special assistant to the
Undersecretary of State, who ac-
companied the Commission, said
that their adVices were that the
majority OF the fishermen UP and
down the coats were opposed to the
split season. Commission members
said that they had not arrived at
a conclusion but they indicated
that some other solution would
have to be worked out, although
Chairman Nickerson seemed to
think that the split season should
be tried out.
Andy Barlow and myself ap-
peared at the hearing and attempt
ed to present the case for our
Wrangell Community which was
very much in line with the gem
eral picture painted by the Juneau,
Sitka representatives and cold stor-
age operators in this area.
| am enclosing copy OF state
ment made to the commission,
which may be of interest. think
there is reason to believe that the
split season will not be invoked in
1850 although there is no assur-
ance of it at this time.
Sincerely yours,
LEW M. WILLIAMS,
i Secretary of Alaska

sound logic or plain fairness. The
little fellow has to live, too Some
day he may be big fellow with
a big halibut schooner. I urge the
commission to consider we'll the
effect such a drastic action as n =
split season would have on the
small fisherman and upon the ell
tire economy of Alaska. It would
be disastrous and the vast majority
of Alaskans in the fishing bust
ness are unalterably opposed to It
The Wrangell sentinel., 1949-10-14
Case Against Split HaIibut
Season Presented at Juneau

ton at Wrangell is typical or the
other Southeast Alaska towns. Dur
ing the season of 1919 approx
mately so vessels. the big majority
of them small boats, went halibut
fishing out of that port For the
most part they are not what the
tade refers to as the regular hall
buffers" but fishermen who work
at various kinds of fishing, such
as trolling, SEEMING, gill-netting,
shrimping, etc. Taking of halibut
is one way in which they make a
living from the sea to support
themselves and their families and
maintain their homes in the terri
tory, and therefore lend their sub
stance to building up Alaska.
With small capacity for the
most part, these boats go out to
the banks, load up and are back in
town in a matter of days, at most
a week. The average one or two
man boat from. that town figures
three days to go out, load up and
get back to the fish house. If
split season was invoked as now
proposed, these vessels would be
limited to one trip in a month, or
perhaps 20 days, as the commits
sion might determine, and then
would have to lay up. They do
not make enough in one such trip
with their small boats to make
lit worth while to lay idle for an
extended period. They must be out
doing something else to make
living. In other words, a split hall
but season in Southeast Alaska
would deprive these Alaska fisher
men of one means of making their
living.
What the split season actually
would do would be to play the
strong against the weak with the
Commission, in the interests of
conservation, supporting the strong.
For example, the big Seattle hall
but vessels with capacity for huge
payloads of fish couldn't ask for
better deal than the split season.
1t would fit into their plans per-
fectly They could get equipped in
Seattle, down to the buying of ev-
cry item aboard their vessels in
that port, take off for the Alaska
halibut banks just in time to take
advantage of the open season.
With big crews and capable of TAX
ing capacity tonnage, they would
load up and during the closed pc
Rod run down to Seattle to sell
their catch and have plenty of time
to re-outfit for the next open sea
son, by-passing, of course, every
port in Alaska.
This could go on under the split
halibut season proposal again and
again. The big Seattle halibut
fleet could not have drafted a more
ideal proposal had they tried than
the one now being suggested by
the International Fisheries Com
mission in the interests of conser-
walton, worthy cause which in
too many cases has been a plague
to Alaska because of abuses per-
mitted in the name of conserva-
ton.
In the 1913 haIihut SEASON moro
than % million pounds of halibut
was landed in Alaska ports, almos,
23 million. These fish were caught
in the interests of conservation,
The Wrangell sentinel., 1949-10-14

in Alaska, processed IN Alaska, and
shipped south from Alaska, a large
part of the increment therefrom
remaining in Alaska to bolster its
economy It meant that Alaska
fishermen, with their other means
of fishing, were able to exc out a
respectable living, pay their bills,
fix up their homes. their boats, and
maintain their families on a decent
American standard. It meant that
Alaska was building a permanent,
substantial population of sound
Americans
Alaska fishermen, Alaska work
men, Alaska business, Alaska cold
storage plants must be allowed to
take the fruits of their labor if
the vast Territory is ever to de-
velOp to full stature. Certainly its
citizens, sturdy frontier people,
are entitled to gain something
from the resources which are 4
part of it and who are hardy
enough to develop them.
To have commission move in
with regulation which in sub
stance would take the bread out
of the mouths of Alaskans and
give it to Seattle is not, believe.

been spending much time lately
playing shuttle board. Yes, shuf-
file board. It's played on table
25 feet long, marked off by boxes
evaluated by how close they are

is to get the lead discs, which are
manipulated by hand, as near as
possible to the other end. 1t is
generally played with partners.
JWV is starting an athletic pro-
gram. A group bowls Sunday
nights at Speedway Lanes. Abe

tice Sunday morning at Sam

is trying to start a program in
which the Jewish organizations
can play basketball and baseball
To start it off AZA is challenging
the Vets in basketball next month.
By virtue of a forfeit by the
Nazarenes, the AZA team raised
their average in the Church
league to a lowly 2 won, A lost.
With only l game remaining in
the 1st half, it is certain that for
the End half, the AZA team will
be in a lower division.
