New Fish Stop Invented
Enormous Saving Expected
From Electrical Device

Thousands of dollars annually will
be saved, 1t is expected, in the Pacific
Northwest fisheries industry by a de-
vice invented by Henry 7. Burkey, of
oklahoma. The invention is an cleo
tric fish stop.
Because there has been no efficient
way to prevent fish following wrong
streams hatcheries have lost thou
sands of dollars every year. Nets
across the mouths of rivers have
proved costly and inefficient. Keep
ny fish away from intake and irrga-
tlon bitches is difficult problem
solved by the electric fish stop.
The invention. which establishes
electric fields of graduated voltage
across stream, is said to be cheaper
than any device so far conceived. as
the power is furnished by the force of
the current turning a turbine dynamo
A held of 25 volts is located furthcst
down stream and small fish coming in
contact with the electric current are
turned back into the main current Of
the river. Fields of Increasing volt
age act on fish of larger SIZE. Fish are
extremely sensitive to electric currents
and the water greatly increases the
conductlvlty of the electricity.
When Burkey has completed ar
engagements with the Northwest fish
erles he Will go to Alaska at the invi-
tatlon of the Alaska bureau of fish
eIles to demonstrate his electric stop

cult to account for so hghhanded and
aggressive policy on the part Of the

The explanation must be sought
nearer home The German labor move
ment always has been well known for
its discipline, but what j. not so we'll
known is that its discipline often has
been accompanied by certain brutal
ity, peculiar to the militarized German
people, which the working class of no
other nation would tolerate from their
leaders.
What we have witnessed this week is
largely the application, with tragic re
suits, of this peculiar German high
handedness in the enforcement OF
labor discipline
Ebert and Wells forgot that the en-
pre cannot be governed by the methods
employed by trade union leaders against
rccalcitrant members. Undoubtedly it
is very troublesome to the government
to be liable to have its plans upset by
malcontentS inclined to reinforce their
arguments by display of armed force.
But then the government Of a rcvolu-
ZIONIST people and country is to some
extent a process Of dissolution.
