with the proposals the Union has brought forward and I was very impressed with the case they have made on prices and wages and the complete justice of the cause of the Union in this fight to enforce the agreement.
I completely reject this idea that we are pricing ourselves out of the world market. I believe the governments, federal and provincial, have a responsibility and they have got to exercise that responsibility. If private enterprise can't keep the wheels of industry going, then the government has got to step in and take emergency steps to ease the acute hardship caused bv closing down of big industries utilising our natural resources.
One of the previous speakers spoke about the Social Credit government sending a trade delegation to Japan, and that was very good, and then to China. My understanding is that the delegation went to Formosa and I'd like to ask the government why it didn't send a delegation to China where one quarter of the world's people live — the biggest market in the world.
Other candidates who addressed the meeting were:  Reg Atherton (Conservative, Vancouver - Point! Grey):   Hen^y  Castillou   (Liberal, I Vancouver  Centre):   Harold   Prit-1 chett (Communist, Burnaby): Don Robinson (Social Credit, Lillooet).
Elected representatives of Lower Mainland cities and municipalities who addressed the meeting were:
Reeve Clarence Taylor of Delta:
; The results of the suspension of l the herring industry are being felt in our municipality. We have j the unemployment problem, of dealing with the families who in seme cases are almost destitute, because it's a matter of social assistance. We have the problem of finding them work locally, and it's not always easy to do.
You have put forward some real proposals here. It behooves us that all levels of government endeavor to assist you in putting these proposals into action.
Reeve Pete Jenewein of Maple Ridge: I know the situation well because I am a member of this Union. Here is a situation where 1 500 men and women may be out of a job for the whole winter. I'm not going to argue the point that you are getting too much wages, that you are asking too much, that the companies are going broke or anything like that.
My position is that in faithful negotiations you concluded an agreement, you are prepared to carry out your end and I would demand from the companies that they carry out their end.
Councillor Cruikshank of Richmond: We are quite concerned in Richmond because we are in the same position as Delta—the fishing industry is the biggest we have.
I do feel that if the government would step in, which they have the power to do, I am sure, and offer a subsidy, all you people would go home at night with your heads a lot higher by earning your wages than you are going to do going home and using the same government money given to you as social assistance.
Councillor Johnston  of Surrey:
I think that something should be done to get these men back to work. They are all good taxpayers and that's what the municipality wants, your taxes.
I know we have quite a few fishermen in our municipality, in the northwest part, and they are all good citizens and they all voted for me. So personally I agree with you and hope that you can get a round table somewhere and have a full discussion and thrash this thing out.

HERRING
could not operate a herring reduction fishery this winter due to market conditions beyond its control.
• The Prince Rupert Co-op stated it would conduct only a limited herring reduction fishery to fulfill certain advance orders and was extremely doubtful of further operations.
• The Fisheries Association indicated it would require a return of $39 a ton of green herring from meal, oil and solubles produced as against the $29.94 a ton at present market prices. Assistance to the extent of $9.06 a ton would be required to make an operation financially feasible.
• The Fisheries Association estimated a normal catch would be 193,000 tons. The UFAWU stated catches would range from 180,000 to 250,000 tons in a season.
• The Union stated that the present labor rate of $13 a ton for catching and delivering had not kept pace with other wages, that actual earnings of herring fishermen and tendermen had been drastically reduced since 1947-51 and that the present two year agreement must be adhered to by all parties.

UNIMAK TRAGEDY
the helm, Pedersen said he did not know. The Unimak had an automatic pilot, but it was not functioning.
CAPE FLATTERY EVIDENCE
Ian Simpson, skipper of the Cape Flattery, and crew members testified to the fact that both the Cape Flattery and her tow, the Cape Spruce, had all their required lights burning, although Simpson acknowledged that the back lights on the barge may not have been visible to the Unimak. Visibility, they said, was good.
Simpson continued that after picking up Pedersen and telephoning Air Sea Rescue, the Cape Flattery tried to get a line on the capsized vessel but was unable to keep her position because of the barge and towline.
Some of the questions now being asked arise from testimony given by Captain Andrews of Air Sea Rescue.
He said that when he received the telephone call he picked up crew members of the RCAF crash boat, took them to the boat's station at Vancouver and then proceeded to the scene of the wreck. Until  he   reached the scene, he said, he had no idea of the size of the hull. He considered asking for dispatch of heavy lifting  equipment,  but this would have taken hours to reach the scene.
The  Sea  Fox 2 and  La Salle,
closest of the 13 vessels that responded to the emergency call, had lines under the Unimak when he arrived at the scene—he could not state the time because he kept no record either of the time he received the call or when the RCAF crash boat reached the stricken vessel.
DESCRIBES  RESCUE ATTEMPT
Informed that skin divers had already been sent for, he instructed the Sea Fox 2 and La Salle to start towing the hull slowly toward the Sechelt shore.
Within four or five minutes, around 3 a.m., the skin divers arrived,   Andrews   continued, and

after talking with Pedersen and getting him to draw a rough plan oi the Unimak, the skin divers went down.
They resurfaced in two or three minutes with the body of Miss Joan Harnell, reporting they had searched the wheelhouse, the captain's room and the passageway into the galley, but could not locate the door into the engine room. Pedersen gave further directions and the divers went down again for five to seven minutes.
WHY BRENTWOOD USED
After that he ordered them not to dive again because the hull had lurched and was settling down in the water, The weight was pulling the Sea Fox 2 and La Salle down and he ordered the two tugs to let their lines go after the Brentwood had moved in and attached her cargo gear to the Unimak.
Asked why he had not used other larger vessels at the scene. Andrews asserted that increasingly heavy seas and the guard on the Princess of Vancouver would have endangered the men working on the hull and the vessel herself. He decided to use the 98 foot Brentwood which had booms for lifting heavy weight, rather than the Skeena Prince or one of the other vessels because she was easier to maneuver.
After some 15 minutes of towing. Andrews concluded, the wrecked vessel rolled right over and came right way up. Towing had to be stopped because the Brentwood took a list to port. Finally, the Brentwood's mast, boom and rigging collapsed and the Unimak was almost out of sight in the water, only the top of her mast and boom showing.
There was no way of cutting the Brentwood free, so she was evacuated, Then the rig broke free, the Unimak sank and the Brentwood righted herself.
QUESTIONS REMAIN
During the greater part of this time, until around 4:30 a.m., the two men trapped inside the hull could be heard knocking for help.
Squadron Leader John Howarth said the knocking stopped some time before the Unimak finally sank. Frank Wright, skin diver, said he believed the knocking came from the engine room and told the coroner he was confident he could have brought the men up had he been able to reach them.
The verdict, technically on Miss Joan Harnell only, has been brought in — death by drowning But the questions that went unanswered at the inquest are still being asked and will not be silenced until they have been answered.
Dominating them all is the question: What is the government going to do now to establish a coast guard? The lives of fishermen and all others sailing the coast depend on the answer to that question.
