Those who submitted guesses in the 1950 Salmon Pack Guessing contest sponsored by The Fisherman should take a quick look at their estimates right now and see how close they come to the ilnal pack figure of 1,739,311 cases, announced by the federal fisheries department.
With scores of entries to check through, we were unable to announce the winner in this is^ue of the paper, but all details will be carried next week.
In the meantime, later this week, we will mail out cheques to the three winners so that they will arrive in time for Christmas.

ans declared. "They were refused their seats on the basis that he had suspended me from my position as President of the Union. This is very strange indeed. I was elected on Sunday last and signed the credentials on Monday. On Tuesday night when the debate took place on the question of admitting our new delegates, the platform read a letter from Vice-President Berg stating that I had been suspended on Tuesday. This is Wednesday, and I have not as yet received a personal letter from Vice-President Berg informing me of my suspension.
"I charge that Vice-President Carl Berg committed this act out of sheer desperation in order to deny this union its rightful place in the Councils of Labor. I further charge that Vice-President Cart Berg has proven that he is determined to suspend any officers we elect, in order to disrupt our union and open the door for his miserable little rump group," the Local 38 president states.
"My suspension should prove to all members of the union that the basis of our trouble is not communism. I am not a member of any political party.
"I am sure this desperate act of Vice-President Berg will convince a good number of the small minority who deserted our union that their place is back in the ranks of Local 28.
"The officers of the Trades Council raised the question of our per capita tax. Due to some of the financial difficulties we have had recently, because of the actions of Vice-President Carl Berg, we have not been able to meet some of our commitments right on time. I have instructed the business agent of our union to pay up our per capita tax in the next few days and I shall personally see to it that we have a full delegation to the next meeting of the Trades and Labor Council and that the question of giving our union full recog_ nition is properly disposed of without any issues like the question of

Some of the games played last week at the Pender Alleys resulted in upsets as Smokeens dropped two points to the lowly Winnettes despite the grand score of 345 by Mel Davies in one of the games.
per capita.
''I am very gratified that the vote in favor of seating our delegation was almost 50 percent of the total vote. This shows that despite the misrepresentation and hysteria which have been spread about in connection with Local 28, the working people of Vancouver are beginning to get a true picture of what is taking place and what we are fighting for—the right to elect our own officers and run our internal business free from outside interference," the president's statement concludes.
It was pointed out at last week's meeting by one of the two delegates from the Union who were already seated in the Council, that Evans has been an employee of the city for 23 years and has been a member of Local 28 all that time.
On the matter of paying per capita, the council was critical of the secretary not having warned the Local of its lapse in payments and voted that in future, all locals be given equal treatment, since most of them, the secretary admitted, are warned when their per capita is overdue.
Delegate Jensen from the Carpenters warned that poor attendance in his local at Union meetings was in part due to the type of action being taken against Local 28. Members are afraid of discrimination if, they speak up on some issues. A similar view was expressed by delegates from the Pulp and Sulphite Workers and and the Electrical workers who claimed that their members were getting "fed up" and "sick and tired" of the way things are being handled.
A letter from the UFAWU protesting to TLC president Bengough the exclusion of delegates Elgin Neish and Homer Stevens from the Victoria TLC conference, was tabled until the result of an appeal to the Congress by the Union is received. The execu-i tive originally proposed that the letter be filed. Homer Stevens, one I of the UFAWU delegates to the I Council, attended the meeting.

Hy-Waves dropped three points to the Queen Charlotte Skunks and here again was another grand score by Jimmy Williams of the "Skunks" who had a 357 in one of his games which tied the same score made by Ray Buckberry of the Fillets on October 31.
Only team to gather full points were the Outcasts who were without the services of George Baker who had to work late, the Queen Charlotte Big Six were the losers to this team.
There were not many high scorers last week, just six of them went over the 225 mark and there was not a girl among them. Come on, Gals, you are slipping.
The league race for the first half which will finish on Tuesday, December 19, is quite close as Smokeens are only leading the Outcasts by one point and they in turn are three points ahead of the Fillets followed closely by Tul-Paks, who have 29 points.
There are still a few laggards with their annual fee of one dollar. Total collected so far is fprty-nine dollars.
One of the players spoke to me about our weekly collections saying they are too low in comparison with other Leagues. I think I have explained this matter before. Last week there were several absentees only one of whom gave us the excuse of having to work late. The fishing Industry is not giving steady work to all employees, not that the employers do not want to, but when there is no fish what can you expect? Other leagues are not involved in this so much., In any case, the dues could not be increased in the middle of the sea. son. You may mean well but we have to consider the whole of the Players and not a few. Personally I am much against it.

The proprietor of Pender Alleys paid me quite a compliment last week and he also stated that our
League is a real good one. It seems that after the other Leagues are through with their games, everyone seems to rush to get away, and that in our League, your humble does a good job in seeing that the scores, etc., are handed in regularly, part of which is quite true. Mrs. Edna Gallagher is the one who makes up the records and of course I take them in. But the League is "My Baby," therefore the good lady more than deserves to share the compliment.
A few minutes after receiving the compliment, one of our players stopped me and says: Billy you certainly are in Dutch regarding that stuff you had in the last issue of The Fisherman paper on the matrimonial affair at the Co-op Federation Office. Gee, what will I do as it was all first hand information, in fact from one of the principals and although no names were mentioned there was no offence meant. The individuals concerned were former members of our Bowling League, therefore, surely no one could be peeved.
Another couple of girls at the same office are following suit. As they are not bowlers, will not mention their names. One is a Brunette and the other is Fair. They are both nice Girls. The state of affairs at the office must be good.
Some very good scores were made a week ago Tuesday ,top scorers being Esther Bellas of Sockeyes with a good single of 294 and a High Three of 1666. May Sabin has been hitting pretty good scores for the past three weeks such as 246, 248 and Tuesday, November 28, 277. May says that the last scjore is the highest she has ever made. Kars-ten Seines of the Queen Charlotte Big Six had the very good high single for the evening of 319 and a high three of 760.
Jeff Branter of the Canfisco Fil-
lets spoke to me about forming a baseball club which is a good idea from a sports point of view and am sure that we must have a few good ball players who would be interested. It might be kind of awkward insofar as the nature of the work is concerned. It would mean that if there should happen to be a neavy run of fish during the season it would upset the playing dates and it would be the means of cancelling dates, that is, presuming the club was entered in one of the minor leagues.
I am quite willing to assist in the organizing if it is feasible. I'll speak to George North about the matter as he has some knowledge of the game, although both of us are a little crowded .with work in the meantime.
When I organized the Ladies Softball Teams it was a lot of fun with the twb teams one from the B.C. Packers and (one from the Canadi-
an Fishing Company. We oven went to Steveston on a Sunday afternoon to play a team handled by Charlie Jarvis. That was a happy gang, and I was happy because they were. The Shoreworkers Local of the Union bought thc preliminary-equipment and big Helen Michie broke a couple .of bats the first game. Murray West of soccer fame said the bats were OK but he replaced them when I told him that the girl whjo broke them had quit.
