B.C. Court accepts reporter's appeal VANCOUVER (CP) — A B.C. Court of Appeal panel accepted an appeal by a on television reporter Tuesday,. deciding that h he shouldn't be forced to reveal the source of information he. used in' a report last year.

Bakker said the union offer contained a new proposal on jurisdiction, the key issue in the dispute. The CBC has de- manded the right to contract out work to independent, now-union producers so itcan increase Canadian program- ming content. Wages also‘are at issue. CBC said last week it had of- fered the technicians, who earned between $10,366 and $28,865 under the previous contract which expired last premises and now it is time to:sell the fixtures.

Meanwhile, plans for cov- erage of next month's seven- country economie summit in Ottawa and Montebello, Que., were still up in tho air following Monday's an- nouncement that the CBC was pulling out as host broadcaster because of the strike. The corporation, which was. to provide coverage of the summit to correspon- dents from Canadian and for- eign television and’ radio networks, made the decision after the union turned down a reqest that it guarantee some technicians would re- port for work at the summit.

Salmon Price should: hold ' VANCOUVER (CP) — Two separate. agreements made in the fishing industry this week mean higher wages for workers and higher prices to salmon fishermen — but the can of salmon on the supermarket shelf shouldn't cost more, says an industry spokesman. A. salmon, pricing agree- ment for 1981 was reached ‘Tuesday between the Fisher- ies Association of B.C. and * more than 8,600 fishermen. Late Monday, the United Fishermen and Allied Work- ers Union announced that a tentaive pact had” been worked out for 4,000° shore- workers and 600 tendermen. Jerry Spitz, Fisheries As- sociation of B.C, president, said higher costs to con- ~ sumers won't result from the salmon agreement because the prices paid to fishermen are minimums — and at any given time the fishermen probably are getting more than that. “Td like to be able to say we'll be jacking the price of salmon by X-amount as a result of the agreement,” said Spitz, “But it doesn’t work that way.” .
