hc presented To til" next sessions of the
Legislatures in the various states. The
bill provides for Il closer union among
the states i'll the interstate shipment of

tancOuS of the game season.
Another feature is the prohibiting of

measures will be adopted for total pre-
yention of spring shooting. II Is the
plan also 10 give game wardens authority
