FISHERIES LAWS
NEED TO Be FIXED
There May be No Joker in Mr..
DarWin's Bill But There
Surely is a Trap

Fish Commissioner Darwin's new
fish code introduced in the Legis-
lature and now pending has some
what of a rocky road to travel. This
is we'll.
Mr.. Darwin's appeal for support
based on the alleged depletion of
the salmon supply (printed in The
Journal of February 2D seems
plausible. He charged that enemy
alien fishermen ("Austrians") were
destroying the salmon of Puget
Sound and bitterly bewailed the
fact they are among us.
The alien fishermen are purse
seiners who take their fish in open
salt water, and they, together with
the trollers and all other fishers
with nets and hooks take about 40
per cent of the fish caught. These
fishermen supply the small con-
neries and city markets, but are in
a great measure controlled by the
purchasers of their fish.
Commissioner Darwin says they
are enemies of the country and is
very bitter against them. He claims
the maintenance of a lobby at
Olympia against his proposed code
by the American Purse Seiners' AS
sociation is a fraud perpetrated
upon the press of the State. Mr..
Darwin has in his possession, he
says, a copy of the bylaws of the
American Purse Seine Fishermen S
League, wherein he finds that Sec
tion 1, Article 3, reads as follows:
ANY fisherman of Austrian origin
engaged in fishing shall be eligible
to membership in this league"

TRADES COUNCIL
Wednesday, March 5, 1919.

Wednesday, March 5, 1919.
The Council was called to order
by President Moncur at p. m.
Credentials were presented by
Bros. J. H. Michel, Dave Anderson
and T. A. Carroll, Of Lathers'
Union No. II; by Bros. c. D. Tul-
lock and Ohimus, of the Sheet
Metal Workers. The delegates
were obligated and seated
Manager Bruce and President
C. X. Carlson, Of the Pioneer AL
pine Dairy, were present, and Mr..
Bruce was given the floor to make
a statement. He said rumors
were afloat to the effect that his
dairy was profiteering on its milk
business in Everett and he wished
to correct the erroneous impress
sion which had gone abroad. Mr.
Bruce made a detailed statement
of the cost of milk from the farm
to the consumer, saying that milk
was cheaper in Everett than in
other Puget Sound cities. He par
ticularized the care taken by the
Pioneer in furnishing pure milk to
the people and mentioned the pas
teurization and other methods of
handling the product. He showed
that the price of milk was not that
high that it would make a dairy
suddenly rich.
On receipt of request from the
Building Trades Council, R. j. Nc
Cam, lumber dealer, was placed
on the unfair list and fined $50.
The Hotel Lincoln, on Norton
Avenue, between California Street
and Hewitt Avenue, was placed on
the unfair list.
The Committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges against the

STATE COMPENSATION
IS WELL ENDORSED

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, March
State compensation for injur-
ed workers is both practicable and
economical, is the verdict Of state
officials operating under this sys-
tenn.
Missouri trade unionists are urg-
ing the Legislature to pass a COM
pensation law that will exclude pri-
vate liability companies.
Compensation laws generally pro-
vide that employers may insure in
state fund or by other methods
endorsed by State officials. AS the
Missouri private insurance compan-
les are opposing any form of State
compensation, either partial or
complete, H. c. Chancellor, a mem
bers Of the Missouri Legislature,
wrote to managers of State funds
for authoritative information on
this subject. A synopsis of the re-
plies follow:
Maryland-"Our State fund has
been successful" Writer predicts
that the State fund will eventual
ly write all compensation insur-
ance in this State" because Of its
cheapness.
Montana-State fund has been
"unqualifiedly" successful. No
sentiment to abolish the plan, but
considerable sentiment to make the
State fund exclusive.
Nevada-No criticism against
State fund here. Believe "that any
effort to abolish it would meet with
every resistance"
New York-State funds success
"has been most impressive" Pri-
vate interests "have not been so
bold as to come forward and pub
licly advocate the abolition of the
State fund"
Ohio-"Our State fund has been
very successful. Both the Ohio
Manufacturers Association and the
Ohio State Federation of Labor are
most ardent supporters of the State
insurance fund" No private COM
panies permitted in this State.
Pennsylvania do not know of
any serious criticism that is being
made by enemies of our State
fund"
Washington-"Our State fund
has been very successful" No pri-
vate companies permitted in this
State. Criticism of the act comes
from those who have been put out
of business.
West Virginia-No criticism of
law except from private companies.
81 am personally strong for an ex-
elusive State compensation law"
Wyoming-"We have an exclus-
i've State fund and it is popular
and we believe the best system.
Similar reports were received
from Nova Scotia and Ontario.

On the Other Hand

The President of the Fishermen's
League wrote to Capt. Wiley, aide
to the Naval Commandant at Brem-
erton, for statement regarding the
loyalty Of the members of the
League and received the following
reply:
During this war period, I have
been Aid for Information to the
Commandant of the 18th Naval Dis
trict and as such have been the
Chief Naval Intelligence Officer and
also had general charge of the is
suing of naval license to craft navi-
eating the waterways Of this naval
district until relieved Of the latter
duty by the customs service in July
1918, and am therefore in posi-
tion to know whereof l speak.
LAS soon as war was declared be-
tween the United State and Aus
tria, the question arose as to what
should be the status of Austrian
fishermen and how should they be
dealt with and whether naval Ii
censes should be issued to them so
that they could continue to operate
their fishing crafts as they had done
heretofore, or whether they should
be regarded as dangerous and mimi
licenses which were intended to be
issued only to persons to be trust
ed.
"The then Naval Commandant
sent me at once to Tacoma to in
vestigate the degree of loyalty to
the United States of said Austrian
fishermen and afterwards had me
make such recommendations as l
deemed proper, based upon my in
vestigation.

mer. that the fishermen in ques-
tion were South Slavs" being most

they we're very fond of and loyal

ferent language from the German
speaking Austrians or the Hungar-
ians, that they had little in common
with either of the two last named
nationalities except mutual dislike
and were almost as distinct peo-
pie from them as are the Armenians

pire from the real Turks.

Manila, P. T., Dec. 4.-That the Y.
NJ C. A. is preparing to broaden
and extend the work it has been
carrying on continuously in the
Philippines since the arrival of the
Third Philippine Expedition more
than twenty years ago, is shown by
the construction of a new building
ct Fort William Mckinley, which
will cost $4,000 when completed.
Situated about seven miles from
Manila, Fort William Mckinley is
one of the largest military canton
ments under the Stars and Stripes
and is the headquarters of the
Army "Y" work in the islands.
Through the generosity of Mrs.
Russell Sage a fully equipped gym
nasium was built at the fort about
ten years ago. 1t is to supplement
the work of this building that the
work of the new "Y" will be direct

ro-Phosphate is made entirely of
the organic phosphate compound re-

which has recently acquired consider
able reputation in the treatment of
neurasthenia. The standard of ex-

substance is beyond question, for
every Bitro-Phosphate tablet is man
ufactured in strict accordance with
the u. S. Pharmacopoeia test require

not a patent medicine and should not

TRUNK VICTIMS
MOTHER SOUGHT
Authorities Adjourn Tabor
Case Until Other Wit
nesses Are Located
BY Assoeiated Press.

Iawton, Mich, Dec. 4.-The in
quest into the death of Miss Maude
Tabor University of Michigan grad
uate and formerly we'll known
teacher of languages in several cit
les in this state and the west, was
adjourned for a week last night to
allow authorities time in which to
locate other witnesses, including
Mrs. Lester Tabor, the mother, and
Walter Tabor, a brother of the dead
woman.
Thus far the cause of Miss Ia
boris death has not been established
and when the inquest resumes 1t is
expected DR.. A. s. Warthem, dean of
the Pathological department of the
University of Michigan, will be pre-
pared to report the findings of his
examination of the woman's viscera.
A cursory examination indicates, he
said, that death was due to septi-
cemia and that the body had been
emblamed before being placed in a
trunk in the cellar of the Tabor
home where it was found Sunday.
Counsel for Mrs. Florence Tabor
Critchlow, elder sister of the dead
woman who is held as material wit
ness, indicated habeas corpus pro-
ceedings would be brought for Mrs.
Critchlow's release. They contended
the law allows the state to hold her
as a material witness only As hours,
which would expire to-day.
Joseph C. Virgo, of South Bend,
Ind, will also be held as a ma
terial witness. He was recalled to
the stand yesterday and in answer
to questions by Prosecutor Adams
declared he had been informed by
Miss Tabor's mother that the girl
was in a delicate condition and that
he advised against an illegal opera
ton. Virgo was a close friend to
