WI SON OPPOSES SUGAR SCHEDULE
Bill
 Passes House

The House this morning passed the Ingram eight-labor law, applying to the mining industry, amended so as to exclude all sorts of placer mining and non-mineral Quarries.
 The bill as passed is less broad in its scope than the Roden-Gafrney bill, recently passed by the Senate being restricted entirely to the quartz min. ing industry. The bill as passed pro. vides for an eighthour day eXclud- ing the time for lunch or meals and the time required for descending and ascending or otherwise going to or coming from the place of work. So far as the quartz industry is con- cerned the bill has the favor of all the big operators in Southeastern Alaska.
 The House also passed this morn ing House Bill No. S, the Gaffney bill, amending the act prohibiting liquor traffic with Indians If this bill be- comes law the crime will be reduced to a misdemeanor and the Indian who solicits will be made co-responslble with the white man who sells the li- ouor The second offense on the part of either carries an increased penalty.

Traps fish every hour of the day in all kinds of water. The native sees his only resource disappearing. Wo- men and children only are given op- portunity to keep starvation from the door Men are driven from the most prolific fishing grounds of the Icy Straits section to Wrangell and Ketchikan seeking opportunity to ply their seines because canneries are supplied exclusively by traps. If the traps were not displaced or better regulations made and enforced the salmon would be exterminated in ten years-trap men built their traps across the mouths of streams and at flood tide the fish rushed in and were caught without chance to get by. This in substance is the story told at the hearing last night.
 The fishermen had their innings last night before the joint hearing of the Senate and House committees on Fisheries, etc. according to a pre-, vious agreement as announced by Chairman Sutherland.

Seine Fishermen Protest
 Vigorously Against Traps

Lewis said that he was familiar with all kinds of fishing within ra- dius of 75 miles of Wrangell; that he had paid great attention since the first cannery was established at the mouth of the Stickine river in 1897. In the early days they packed by hand altogether and used nets entirely for catching the fish. At that time the humpbacks and chums, or dogs, were not canned at all.
 The practice of fencing the streams was introduced and continued in vogue until investigated by govern. ment officials. When a cannery tug with the inspector aboard was ap- preaching two blasts of the whistle would signal the fact and the fences would be removed by the cannery en- ployes. At the present time a trap is built across the mouth of Anan riv, CT which is a small stream. Ten years ago there used to be caught annually from 15O,OOO to 100000 at this point while now the catch is reduced to a few thousand, with this trap in opera ton no salmon can get up the stream
 At Salmon Bay where 10000 was the ordinary catch of a season, 10, 900 is now considered big catch. Il is the practice of the canners to catch all that escape the trap by seining the lagoon at this point. The run oi
