All or the salmon-packers on tlio lower Columbia river wero represented nt tho meeting held thoro yesterday afternoon, nnd, notwithstanding rumors to tho con trary, wero unanimous I in tho support of the position previously taken by them to pay only 4 cents per pound for raw materlnl this season. Tho packers assort that buyers aro not oven now willing to pay price which Justify a 4-ccnt rate on raw material. With ono exception, there Is not perhaps a packer on tho river who Is not carrying over n largo stock of spring goods of tho first quality, and there Is no encouragement to put up goods this year at prices which would entail a loss. Tho assertion mado by tho fishermen, that Now York prices on ennned goods would ustiry tho payment of 5 cents, the pickers say. Is not In nccordanco .with thcfaots. There wore no wJak-kueod brethren found in tho meeting today. All were unanimous In maintaining their posi tion.

Thoro has been no violence nny where on tho river; but ns both parties are Aery determined, It scorns probablo at a lato hour this evening that, should nny of tho packors at tempt to run their cannorles or pro curoflsh from nonunion men, thoro will bo war. From prcsont Indica tions. It Is hardly possible that a pound or fish will bo put up beforotho middle of May or tho first of Juno. By that tliuo somd ngrcoment will probably bo reached which will settle tho dllllctlty. Ono sldo or tho other, It Is likely, will bo starved out In six week's time Tho trapmon nro prepared to resist any furthor Invasions on their prop erty, but from tho best Information obtnlnablo It Is not likely nny moro ' attempts wJU bo mado ngalnst them. In any ovent, tho pnek this jCHr will bo ycry short of nn average, but It Is thought, that with tho stocks already on hand, tho markets will have about tho usual amount of first class ch I nook.- Against Oreater New York.
