But not as ridiculous as it sounds, Mrs. Housewife.
Remember back in the '30's when you could feed
your family well for about $35.00 a month? If some
one had said then that in 1948 you could only feed
your family skimpily at $90.00 amonth you
have exclaimed "Ridiculous !'
But here are today's prices and your foocj
expenses and costs are flying high.
NOW, HERE'S A NEW MONOPOLY THAT CAN THREATEN
YOUR FOOD BUDGET
A small group
shop
-The Gillnetter's Union wants a "closed
on the Columbia River salmon catch. They are getting
704 of the total catch now but they want ALL! They'd even
take away the 10 that the Indians catch at Celilo but a
long-time treaty with the United States govefnment pre
vents that. So they are aiming at the "fixed appliances" and
your pocketbook by trying to eliminate this" gear that only
catches 20 of the salmon. But that 20 is the balance that
can keep your salmon prices in bounds -that prevents a
Columbia River "closed shop"; that protects not only tht
price of salmon but also helps keep your entire meat budget
from ballooning out of sight.
TELL YOUR HUSBAND THESE FACTS ABOUT THE'
GILLNETTER'S BILL
Sports fishermen have certainly risen to the bait of this
Gilmetter's Union. The latter claim their measure would
"stop the waste of our great natural fish resource which, if
allowed to continue would result in the loss of millions of
business, employment and tourist dollars and the end of a
clean outdoor sport.
The facts show as reported by the Oregon Fish Commis
sion, June, 1948 that alt that happens when you ban fixed
gear is that more fish are caught by gillnets.
The sportsmen and people of the State of Washington fell
for this same line of propaganda back in 1935. The samo"
report shows only one definite trend during these eleven years
the closed-shop union of gillnetters caught more and more
of the Columbia River salmon with no indication of increased
salmon runs.
So, his bill to eliminate "fixed appliances' is not conserva
tion of salmon... but absolute control Sf the salmon catch.
Therefore ask yourselves what might happen to your food
costs if a "Columbia River closed shop" should create this
dire monopoly. a
YOU CAN PREVENT
FIGHT THIS FOOD MONOPOLY NOW
IT FROM HAPPENING!
You housewives have had experience with such control
conditions. You know wha; happens to your household ex- 1
penses! Usually you have had to fight AFTER these condi
tions exist. But in this case you can fight BEFORE it is
formed. It will be much easier to prevent the "closed shop
on the Columbia by voting November 2nd, next Tuesday.
