be no monopoly in the use of the
word 'sockeye" In denominating the
species of salmon canned by any of
the salmon-packing interests Of the

bel OF his can the locality in which
the salmon Is taken, according TO
decision by Solicitor Earle, for the
department of commerce and labor.
In an informal opinion to the United
States fish commission
1t was pointed out by the commits
sion's communication that the same
species OF fish packed by the Alaska
salmon industries and labeled as the
"sockeye" was caught also in Puget
Sound and the waters of British Co.
lumbia and canned under label
Identical with that used for the prod
uct OF the Alaskan fisheries-.s SOCK

the fish caught in those two locali-
ties were OF the same species. there
was difference in their quality of
value. the difference In market price

"All building associations organized aft

proved March last must be incorporated.
The act also requires that every such as
sociation shall keep on deposit with the
controller of the currency not less than
10 per cent Of its capital and surplus as
security for its depostors and creditors,
and as guarantee for the faithful per-

tains penalties for the violation of its

NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION
MR.. MCFARLAND EXPLAINS
BUILDING ASSOCIATION LAW.
Says if Bill Had Been Passed Two
Years Ago Losses Would Have
Been Averted.

Recent losses by many District residents
have emphasized the necessity for the
legislation, secured at the last session Of
Congress and now being put into force,
placing building and loan associations in
the District under the supervision Of the
controller Of the currency, according to
Commissioner Macfarland.
Recent events" Commissioner Macfar-
land remarked today, ''have shown the
absolute necessity for the legislation Sc
cured from Congress at the last session,
upon my motion, placing the building and

the controller of the currency. II our bill
had been passed when 1t was first offered

Power Of the Controller.

knowingly violating the laws under which
such company is Incorporated, and to
liquidate the same in the manner provided
by the laws Of the United States in re-
spect to national banks
practically all of the building and loan
associations saw the wisdom Of having
such law for their protection, as well as
for the protection of the public, and
helped US in framing 1t and in advocating
it before Congress. But there was an in
terested opposition on the part Of a few
individuals which delayed action. This
delay has cost some of our citizens dear.
