On the west coast trolling will be open from April 15 to June 14 and then closed until July 1. It will remain open until Sept. 30 or until the catch exceeds the 1983 levels, a figure not yet released by the DFO.
For gillnetters hoping to ease a major financial crunch as a result of last year's season, little hope is extended by the DFO in these regulations. Rivers Inlet is completely shut down despite an expected return of 816,000 sock-eye, or two and one half times the historical average.
"It's just driving gillnetters to the wall," said UFAWU organizer Dennis Brown. "They have only had one million fish twice in history."
In Smith Inlet, a one day experimental fishery has been announced, but the DFO is still
looking for enhancement by escapement at the cost of the commercial sector.
Skeena sockeye runs are predicted to reach 1.3 million with the DFO looking for one million escapement. Fishing opens July 1. One million pinks are also predicted to return with 500,000 for escapement.
In Johnstone Strait, the regu-
lations call for a two day opening for gillnets and a one day opening for seines starting July 15.
A one-day chum opening is expected for mid-September.
Barkley Sound opens for gillnetters and seines on June 4 until further notice. The estimated catch is 1.4 million sockeye.

union. As well, the unions argued that the owner of Stevenson Construction — the union contractor for the first phase — was also a director of Pennyfar-thing, the firm building the condominiums. He stood to gain financially from a decision against going union for the second phase of the construction.
The issue runs to the heart of union rights in B.C., however, because non-union firms have historically been denied major projects. With the government mounting a major attack on union benefits and Expo 86 construction work around the corner, union workers fear nonunion work will spread like an ugly cancer.

To date police have played a low profile in the dispute, but are now located in an apartment building across the street where they keep a 24-hour watch on the site. Only one arrest has been made so far.
An appeal by the construction unions is being heard by the board, but should it fail, the way would be paved for contempt of court charges against union leaders.
Also tangled in this issue are B.C.'s major credit unions and their umbrella organization, the B.C. Central Credit Union. B.C. Central has ignored demands by unions to halt the financing of the project. The B.C. Federation of Labor now is calling on unions to withdraw funds from credit unions.
In the pulp and paper lockout, the two sides are expected tor eturn to the table this week. In several communities picket lines were met with vigilante groups led by truck loggers and other anti-union elements. Tempers also flared between members of the International Woodworkers of America and the pulp unions over the picketing of IWA mills.
B.C. Federation of Labor president Art Kube stepped into the fray almost immediately, calling on all sides to respect picket lines and sort out their differences. During the picketing, the media has been playing up conflicts between union leaders, while ignoring the picket lines where no incidents occurred.
Kube called on the labor movement to give full support to locked-out members of the Canadian Paperworkers Union and the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada in their dispute.
Although he acknowledged the sacrifice of IWA members picketed off the job by the dispute, Kube emphasized that protection of the sanctity of the picket line is one of labor's most effective weapons.
The employers' contract offer to the pulp unions remains inferior to that accepted earlier this year by the IWA. The pulp unions have indicated a willingness to accept a three-year pact with cost-of-living protection, but the employers have been inflexible.
