George (. Teal
 Talks About Traps

George C. Teal, one of the leading cannerymen of Southeastern Alaska, who arrived in Juneau Saturday will appear at the hearing of the joint com- mittee of the Legislature on the fish ing bills. Mir. Teal is opposed to the abolition of the fish traps, but not ad' verse to q closed season for the pro- lection of fish, provided it shall not in- clude the months of June, July and August.
 Mir. Teal contends that it is non- sense to say that the fish traps are promoting the destruction of fish in Northern waters. He says that less than 35 per cent of the fish put up by Alaskan canneries are caught Tn traps. that they are not so destructive to the fish as the nets, and that they serve to improve the quality of the salmon pack.
 "The only question involved said Mir Teal, "is one of improved methods and labor saving machinery and ap- paratus. It is the old fight that news papers had in order to get typesetting machines installed, and that other lines of industry have had to substi- tute machines that do better and more economical work than can be done by hand. The questions of protecting the fish or of obviating the chance of monopoly are not involved.
 "A fish trap is stationary. Fish have to run into it, or they are free to pass on to their spawning ground. The purse seine or gill net fishermen fish all around the traps under the law as it is now. They have chance at the fish before they reach the traps, and they have chance at those that get by them In the very nature of things there can be no monopoly.
 "The traps catch the fish while they are in deep water and when they are fresh from their Feeding grounds. Their flesh is solid and they are in good condition. The best fish we get are those taken from the traps.
 q believe the cannerymen are will ing to bear their share of the expense of government in Alaska, and to see that all reasonable laws for the pro- lection of the fishing industry are er- forced, even to the extent of having representative of the government in each cannery all the time to see that traps are not operated between Satur- day night and Monday morning and that all the other requirements are complied with, but they will naturally contest any effort to deprive them of the right to fish under the most im- proved methods or to deprive them of property, in which they have invested millions of dollars, without recom- pense."
 Mir. Teal is an Alaska pioneer. He has lived at Juneau and other points in Southeastern Alaska for fifteen years.

Senate Bill No. 1, as it is better known. the Roden-Gafrney S-hour law passed the Senate today but very much emasculated. There was an m- terestinc battle before it went to final passage. The author in the Senate, Senator Roden. himself legal repre- sentative and agent of one Of the most powerful mining companies in the world. was picturesque figure bat tling for the insistent demands of the working miner as against the conten- tions of his employer the operator Senator Bruner on the other hand took the stand that the passage of the bill as it stood would work irreparable injury to the operators of Seward pen insula. Senator Willard took the mid dle course and said that the interests of the working miner and the operat' or should be considered in framing bill of this sort. He was in favor of an S.hour law, but one that permit ted of eight hours work. He was supported by Senator Ray who called Senator Tanner to the chair.
 The bill as finally passed more re- sembles the Utah law than the Ari- zona law from which it took it's form. Time commences at the face and not at the tunnel or shaft entrance; pro vision is made for contingencies wherein men will be permitted to work more than eight hours in quartz mines and it will practically be dead letter in the placer camps of Seward ,,nninrnln
