FISH BUYERS
 LICENSE REVOKED
N. S. Bloch, a Fish Buyer and Packer of Juneau, Loses His Federal
 License

The federal license issued to M s. Bloch. a fish buyer i'm Juneau, was revoked last Wednesday by order Of Herbert C. Hoover Federal Food Ad- mnistrator. upon recommendation Of J. R. Bradley. Federal Food Admin istrator for Alaska.
 The license wcs revoked and Bloch8 establishment where he ear ricd on Che business of saltng and curing salmon, was ordered closed and Che goods on hand disposed Of immediately. Bloch was warned that he would not be allowed to carry on thc business any longer either in his own or any other name
 The reason for tho revocation of Che license was the pct that Bloch and Lis agents havo been paying more than Che price fixed by the food administration, for salmon. Barclaccd evasion of the law has been proven against him. In some cases ho gave presents on the side Co tho fishermen, other times he gave a receipt for l25 salmon and took only 100. and in many ways disre- sardcd thc regulations of the Food Administration
 It was alleged that Bloch had paid as high as 70 cents each for echoes and sockoycys where Che government price is 32 cents. and for chums and dogs he had paid mp Co 10 cents whom the government price is 9c.
 Th practice of paying over the government price has made it hard for buyers who wanted to keep within the law to do business; in fact a cannery in Juneau and a fish business had been practically driven from thc field on this account
 The place where the price viola ton occurred is alleged to be in Taku inlet. where che late run Of chums and echoes ls now on, and it is said that several other violators of the law who have bceon doing business in thc Tabu inlet are under investigation.
