WILL PROBABLY AMEND FISH
LAWS ON COLUMBIA RIVER

Portland, Or, Nov. 16.-That- AS
toria gillnetters will fail In their eff
fort to drive out salmon wheels and
traps is the plain evidence on several
sides. The United States Fish Com
mission opposes them and so do the
authorities of Oregon and Washing
tom. 1t is altogether probable that
the Washington commission of IS
members, which met in Seattle last
week, will oppose the gillnetters and
will call for regulation of all kinds
of fishing gear, and that the Oregon
Conservation Commission, commit
tee of which is investigating the mat
ter, will do the same. Oregon's new
fish warden takes this view and de-
clares that all gear should be regu-
lated and none abolished
Affairs have reached such a stage

tween August 25 and September 10.
These were the closed seasons up to

tiatlve laws in Oregon.

The judges of the evening were:
VIM. Myers, Hanford; Judge Rens-
berg Seattle; and J. H. Lynch,
North Yakima. Their decision was
the surprise of the evening. Mr..
Lynch voted for the negative. The
other two by system of percentage
markings gave the decision to Pros
ser by q narrow margin. This was
at variance with the opinion of the
people present including the Prosser
High School teachers. However
the Kennewick debaters can have
the satisfaction of knowing they pre-
scented a thorough, forceful and
systemized argument and one the
patrons of the school were proud OF

Conservation of Resources Commits
sion. The date announced is Tues

letters are going out announcing for
Tuesday, December 1, the first gener-
al meeting of the Conservation Com

The Governors will discuss the
work with which the National Con-
ing on during the summer and fall.
The outcome of this work will be the

employers on account OF the arblt-
rary and strained relations with his
employees and preventing him from
Justly rewarding his best and most
ambitious workmen. Third, the
proposition of the closed shop is i'm
moral and unjust and constant
source of corruption among the in
dustries.
After outlining the plan OF the
negative argument Mr.. Smith de-
voted his time to the first point and
gave a closely reasoned argument
and cited numerous examples where
the closed shop was injurious to the
unions and members.
Marsh Corbett was the next speak
er for the affirmative and gave the
first argument of weight directly on
the question for the affirmative.
The first half of his debate was Civ
en- with force and effectiveness but
the latter part was disconnected and
rambling. He was at ease and has
evidently had more experience as a
debater than the other speakers.
For the negative Miss Edna Cress-
well was the second speaker for the
negative and gave a forceful and
vigorous argument on the line OF
the closed shops being unfair and
unjust to employers. Her argyll
ment was very good and the point
she made as the harm of jurisdic-
tional strikes caused by rival unions
in related trades was especially well
! taken and forcefully urged. This
point itself totally unanswered by
the affirmative was of sufficient force
to have given the negative the de-
cision.
Allan Phillips was the closing
speaker for the affirmative and
went at once to the vital point Of
! the question that the closed shop
+; was essential to the life of the unions
and presented the most effective and
pointed argument for his side.
! Neither of the speakers who spoke
in rebuttal argument eXtemporc
f, were very effective, animated or en-
tertaining. The debate as a whole
was good and the details of its man
agement were well looked after and
creditably handled by the pupils
and teachers of the kennewick
High School.

speakers. He than read the ques-

under constant discussion ESPECIALLY
among the Labor unions: Resolved
THAT labor unions are justified IN
insisting through all lawful means
at their disposal upon the closed

Miss Mable Smith Of the Prosser
team supported the affirmative IN
the opening speech and devoted her
time almost wholly to stating the
general desirability of labor unions
and the benefit they had conferred
upon the workers in the different
lines of organized labor. kenne-
wick presented the negative OF the
question and John Smith was the
first speaker and outlined the three
noints which the negative would es-
