The House merchant marine commit
tee is canvassing the views Of the gov
ernors Of the New England seacoast
states and tho fishing organizations OF
that section regarding an aoministra-
ton bill to prohibit Importation Of lob
sters taken in waters adjacent to, but
outside the territorial waters Of Canada
during the closed seasons. The bill Is
aimed to protect the catch of Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick. and was ap-
proved at meetings held by the Ameri-
can-Canadian fisheries conference held
at Boston, Gloucester, Mass. and at st.
John. New Brunswick.
The merchant marine committee has
held hearings on the subject in this city.
and the other day decided to refer the
matter to the governors of New York,
Connecticut. Rhode Island, Massachu-
setts, New Hampshire and Maine. who
have been asked to ascertain and report
the sentiment among the fishermen.
Pending that, the committee will defer
action on the bill, despite its advocacy
by the joint fisheries conference of the
United States and its northern neighbor
and by Secretary of Commerce Redfield.
Chief Justice Hazen of New Bruns-
wick, according to Secretary Redfield,
contends that Canadian fishermen are
frritated by the fact that while their
laws prohibit them from taking Holsters
during the closed season. they have to
stand by and watch United States
smacks catch the Holsters just outside
the Canadian waters and carry them
back to the American market.
In United States waters the fisheries
are conducted every day in the year. In
some counties Of Nova Scotia there Is a
protracted closed season which covers
the time when the lobster eggs are
Matching. The object Of the closed time
regulations in Canada Is to curtail the
catch during that period. Most of the
Holsters caught on the Nova Scotia and
Brunswick coasts have to be canned.
The communities are remote from trans
portation lines, and there are practi-
cally no local sales. There is Virtually
no size limit of Holsters that may be
caught for canning. The Holsters are
caught principally in shoal water, SO
that most of the lobster ground is in
territorial waters, but it is possible to
get them as far as twenty miles from
shore.
The closed season in Canada is about

LUMP SUM CLERKS
Members Of Senate Appropriations
Committee Would Not Discrim-
mate in Granting Raises.

Members Of the Senate appropriations
committee are seriously considering
the legislative appropriation bill as re-
ported to the Senate the committee
amendment which eliminated from the
benefit of the $120 increase employees of
the government paid from lump-sum
appropriations.
Since the bill was reported it has
been called to the attention of the COM
mitteemen that many employees in prac-
tically all of the departments and bu-
reaus of the government are paid from
lump sum appropriations, and that In
justices might be done them IL the in
crease were denied them.
1t is Senator Martins plan to call up
the legislative bill in the Senate tomor-
row and try to dispose of it that day.

The housing bill. carrying $50 900 900,
of which s1o,0O0.OOO is to be used in
the District OF. Columbia to provide
housing facilities for government war
workers, will be reported favorably to
the Senate tomorrow by Chairman
Swanson from the public buildings and
grounds committee. Senator Swanson
said last night that he would seek
action upon the bill at the earliest op-
portunity, this week II possible.
The operation of the proposed meas
ure is left IN the hands Of the Secre-
tary of Labor, with a provision that

The Senate committee struck from
the bill all reference to local trans
portation facilities, which under the
House bill could have been taken over
when needed. 1t was urged by Secre-
tary Wilson of the Department Of La
bor that by taking over street railways
and ferries and interurban railroads it
would be possible to aid the situation
greatly.
The committee also eliminated from
the bill all reference to "other COM
munity facilities" Thus the bill is
left to do strictly with housing ia

MAY RESUME CUSTOM
President Wilson Considering Re-
quest to Have Daily Conferences
With Newspaper Men.

President Wilson may resume his con-
ferences with newspaper men.
This suggestion has been placed be-
fore. the President by officials high in
his esteem. and he is giving the matter
serious consideration.
The argument offered for the resump-
ton Of these conferences, suspended
about two years ago. in view Of critical
international matters which required
his constant attention. was that the
correspondents in Washington could be
made q channel of expression for the
viewpoint Of the President on many
points upon which the American public
now is uniformed.
1t has been pointed out to him that
many of the representations Of the
Presidents attitude on important ques-
tions, which later have been shown to
be inaccurate, would be avoided by a
of the conferences.

DELAY IN MAIL CRITICISED
ON FLOOR. OF THE HOUSE
Experience of Washington Merchants Given
by Representative Gillett-Forced to
Use Special Delivery Stamps.

SO I asked my secretary to mail 1t to
me. When 1 left in the evening / asked
him If he had mailed 1t, and he said that
he had: but, conscious, possibly, of the
uncertainties of the Post Office Depart
ment. he told me he had put a special
delivery stamp on it.
Letter Long En- Route.
THE letter started in the morning
and I left at night. When 1 reached
my destination the next noon / asked
for it. but 1t had not arrived; in fact,
it had not arrived the next morning,
but it did reach there the next evening,
thirty hours after my arrival. And
then on Thursday I desired to send a
letter to my secretary, which 1 wanted
him to get on Saturday morning, and,
mindful of my previous experience.
but foolishly still trusting the Post
Office Department, 1 mailed it on
Thursday morning. with a special de-
livery stamp on it. That letter was
delivered to my secretary not on Fri
day or on Saturday. but on Monday
morning. 1t did reach Washington on
Saturday evening, according to the
stamp on 1t. but arrived after the Of
flee had closed. If I had sent a tele-
gram the Western Union would have
looked up my secretary's address and
have delivered the message to him. but
probably that was too much to expect
of the Post Office Department. At any
rate. that letter did not reach the post
Office in Washington until Saturday
evening.

stopping several hours after that let

ington by train and spent a whole day

there before that letter, mailed by
special delivery. had reached Its des-
tination here in Washington.
"A friend of mine, to whom alluded
in regard to the delay in my first letter.
told me that he had telegraphed to New
York for the letter that I wanted par
ticularly, and 1t had been mailed to him
by special delivery. and 1t took exactly
one week for that letter to go journey
of twenty-four hours.
Now. gentlemen. when such things
happen, when the merchants of Wash
ington are compelled to send their or
binary business mail by special delivery
to New York so that it can be secure
and / think no doubt your experience is
like my own, and l do not remember the
time when my mail was so uncertain and
unreliable as it has been of late-when
these things are constantly occurring. the
gentleman from Indiana should not be
surprised when gentlemen of this House.

Some Of the experiences Of Washington
merchants in delay Of important business
mail were told on the floor Of the House
by Representative Gillett Of Massachu-
setts The acting minority leader was
prompted to tell some of the delays ex-
perienced by the Washington business
men. as well as some personal expert
ences when Representative Cox of In
diana resented criticisms by Representa-
tive Treadway of Massachusetts that the
boys in France. who wanted letters and
packages from home, were flooded in
stead with documents published by the
committee on public information.
In regard to the transmission of mail to
France Representative Gillett said:
THE last complaint of which 1 heard
was of boy who wrote home saying
that he did not receive any letters, but
that the camp was flooded with tons of
speeches of the Secretary of the Treas
ury; and 1 can think of nothing that
seems to be more like asking for bread
and being given a stone than for a SOL
der to ask for letters from home and
have the Postmaster General send him
franked advertisement of his colleague
in the cabinet, Secretary McAdoo'
Gives His Own Experience.
Champloning the cause OF the Washing
ton business men who are seriously ham
pered by delays in transmission of do
mstic mails, Representative Gillett spoke
as follows:
II recently had an experience which
shows that the post office administra-
tion. In my opinion. deserves some criti
cism right here at home. 1 saw in the
paper few days ago, and doubtless
you saw it, that the merchants Of Wash
ington were sending their letters to
New York by special delivery In order
to have them reach their destination
the next day. If they used the ordi-
nary method of transmission, they could
not be delivered in that length of time.
so they put on an extra ten-cent stamp
in order that they might be delivered In
one day after leaving here. Now, OBJ
viously that is good for the finances of
the Post Office Department. of which
its chief is So proud, but it is not very
good service for the merchants, and it
is no wonder that business men out
side of Washington are constantly criti-
cising the department, as we all know
they are, and it is not strange that that
feeling should be reflected here.
Now. the other day I was going away
to a certain city about an eighteen-hour
journey from here and I wanted copy
of the Congressional Record the next
when I should reach there.

HARD WORK AHEAD
FOR LAWMAKERS
Congress Confronted by Busy
Week-D. C.. Money Bill :.
Soon Due.

Work and yet more work Of hard and
routine nature confronts both houses of
Congress in the coming week. As one
member said, its just going over one
top after another" Appropriation bills,
conference report and committee grind
will I'LL the days. and the days won't be
long enough at that. 1t would seem.
After concluding the resolution amend
ing the draft law the House will finish
the rivers and harbors bill and take up
the naval appropriation bill which has
been waiting for some time Before that,
however. the conference report on the
agricultural appropriation bill will be dis
cussed and sent back to conference with
price of wheat indicated by vote.
D. c. Appropriation Bill Next.
The District Of Columbia appropriation
bill will follow the naval bill on the floor
and in turn will be succeeded by the sun
dry civil bill in time, but probably not
this week. In committees the water
power bill and the oil land leasing bill
will be taken up and discussed, though
probably not completed.
The Senate probably will pass upon
the disputed points in the agricultural
appropriation conference report early
in the week and send it back to the
conferees. Debate is expected which
may run over a day. Then the legis-
lative appropriation bill will be taken
up on the floor and may occupy a day
or two
Post Office Bill to Follow.
1t will be followed by the post office
appropriation bill. which may lead to
considerable debate. the item for the
pneumatic tube service being expected
to cause trouble.
By the end of the week the $50, 900, 900
housing bill is expected to come along
from committee and is scheduled to
provoke discussion.
