CLOSED SEASON FOR HALIBUT IN
 ALASKA bS NEAR
House Committee Gives Favorable Report on ReServing Fish
 Supply.
CLOSE FOR TWO MONTHS

SEATTLE, Jan. 11.-Advices from Washington, D. c. this morning an nounce that subcommittee of the House merchant marine committee yesterday afternoon reported favor. ably on the bill to establish a closed halibut season in all Pacific Coast and Alaska waters during December and January, as urged by the Fishing Vessel Owners Association of Seat. tle says the Times. The bill passed the Senate at the last session. When enacted into the law the enforce ment of its provisions will be con. ditioned on the Canadian government also declaring a closed season in Canadian waters during December and January
 The movement for a law providing for the closed season originated with the Fishing Vessel Owners Associa. tiOn, composed of the owners of Sc. attles big independent fleet of hali. but schooners with headquarters in Pier 8. Capt John Gibson is man. Gger of the association.
 Under the proposed law, the hall. but fishing industry would suspend all fishing operations in Coast and Alaska waters during the months mentioned. Violation of the law would be punishable by fine Of S1,OOO or a prison term of ninety days or both, for each ofrense. The bill now has the support of the East ern fishing industry and the meas ure, when enacted into law, will ap. ply 10 both coasts.
 Measure Is Necessary
 "The measure said Captain Gib. son this morning "embodies the pro. visions that our association knows to be necessary for protecting the halibut fishing industry on this coast The halibut spawn in December and January. If fishing is allowed to con tinue for the full twelve months each year, as in the past, the banks will become depleted Each halibut yes. Sel underg0eS GNerhaullng about once year This takes an average Of one month. so that on the whole. the closed season would represent a net loss of only one month.
 "The bill also reserves the shoal between Moves Island and Cape Lynch off the west coast of Prince of Wales Island as a halibut nursery. These waters are usually spoken O! as the Timbercd Islands waters On ly young halibut are caught there, hundreds of catches having been talk. en in which the fish ran between seven and nine inches in length.
 "The area in question is about twenty miles each way and has been known for years as a natural nur- sery for young halibut. Under the law, fishing in the reserved area will be forbidden for all time.
