Pact With Dominion
Puget Sound and Grays Harbor fishermen, at a meeting to be held in Eagles' Hall in Seattle Saturday, November 14, will urge a new treaty with Canada to protect their vessels from seizure when they are forced to go within the Canadian three-mile limit.
The fishermen will give solid support to the Trolling Vessel Owners' Association in its efforts to protect American fishing vessels driven into Canadian waters by storm. Wood Freeman of Seattle is president of the Trolling Vessel Owners' Association.
It has been suggested that the United States withdraw the 3 cents a pound duty on salmon if Canada is willing to open her ports for American vessels during heavy weather and end the long strife between fishermen of the two countries.
