cess urpsibE O'Clock.
The Hearing Resumed.
The hearing was resumed at 2:15 O'Clock.
Mr.. w. IVY, who has resided in Alaska
for ths,past seven years. made brief state
ment 1.-the committee. He declared that
the oniyway to protect the seal herd is to
have the revenue cutters enforce the law by
keeping Canadians and other foreigners out
of the waters over which the United States
has jurisdiction. He said the cutters are
not now doing this work In thorough
manner. Mr.. Ivy believes that between IS
and 80 per cent of all the pelagic seal
ing is done within American waters, and
he believes that If this illegal practice
We're stopped the seal herd would soon
increase. Mr. Ivy did not believe that the
land killing of males was a factor in dimin-
ishing the herd.
Chairman Payne of the committee said he
hoped Mr.. Ivy would call the attention Of
the Department of Commerce and Labor to
the necessity of strcter regulations regard
ing the revenue cutter service In Alaska.
Mr.. Ivy said he would do SO.
