BIGGER MARKET
 FOR FISH NEEDED

New York, Mar. 20.-Fishing in terests which have been trying for nearly 8 year to revive a market here are considering the necessity of talk ing over the retail distribution in order to stimulate a livelier taste for the low priced food from the sea- the pubic appetite. It was announce ed yesterday by the biggest steam trawIer company operating between the Georgia banks and New York that hundreds of tons of fish, mostly haddock, are going begging in the To- cal wholesale market at from four to five cents pound right in mid-lenten season.
 The New York householder pays from IS to 25-cents a. pound for fresh fish and the wholesale interests says the difference between these prices and the retail price of meat is not enough to create a demand for the sea food.
 The problem of marketing is now being studied by experts called in by the steam trawler companies, whose existence, it is stated, Is jeopardized by the disinclination of the public to buy fish under present conditions. Retail markets are not equipped to handle fish in quantities, it is said and unless this is done the net re- turns for the trouble involved is not attractive to dealers. As a result re- tail prices are high and the public demand, notwithstanding the high cost of living remains inactive Before the war there existed .

FIVE HOL DUP MEN BOUND
 OVER TODAY

Arrested yesterday afternoon on charges of having held up. assaulted and attempted to rob Solomon Cheshensky, a grocer of Boston ave- nue, Thursday night, five East Bridge port young men were arraigned in the city court this morning and their cases were continued until next Sat urday under bonds of $1.500.
 The youths who appeared in court this morning f11 connection with the shooting and ho1d-up were George Lasko, IT, of 154 Bond street, charg- ed with highway robbery and assault with attempt to kill; Harold Geog- henan, IS, of BOA Dover street, charg- ed with burglary and assault with attempt to kill; Stephen Bapko, IT, of 253 Jefferson avenue, charged with burglary and assault with attempt to kill; John Dash, IS. of 208S East Main street, charged with burglary and assault with attempt to kill, and Stephen Harse, IT. of 1924 Seaview avenue, highway robbery, assault with attempt to kill and burglary.
 All five were taken into custody yesterday after a rigid investigation of the cases had been made by Detec- tives Gerrity and Wheeler. Dash and Lasko were arrested in New Haven, to which city they fled after the at tempted ho1d-up, and the other three were apprehended while in the East Side.
 According to the stories told by the young men to the police the robbery was framed up in an East Side pool room and was attempted because the boys were out of work and without money. Cheshensky was held up a short distance away from his store, and when he refused to hand over his cash, was shot twice and black lacked. Lasko is said to have shot the grocer in the right leg and side, and Bapko is said to have wie1ded an iron pipe on the victims head. The man had a large sum of money in his pocket at the time of the ho1d-up, but the robbers fled without searching him.
 At the Bridgeport hospital today, it was stated that Cheshensky is in fairly good condition. He will prob ably recover from the wounds inf1ict- ed by the highwaymen.

SAYS KOLCHAK
 TROOPS MELTED

New York, March 20. - How an army of S0,000 Kolchak troops melt ed away by desertion to the Bol- sheviki, following a speech made to prisoners of war by Leon Trotzky, in Omsk, Siberia, two days after that city's evacuation by the All-Russian forces, was told here today by Major General l. Thord-Gray, a former of ficer of the British, Canadian and All-Russian armies just feturned from V1aIdfvostok.
 TroHky, he said, addressing the prisoners as Comrades" said they would be welcomed by the red army if they cared to join. Captive officers, he said, who wanted to return to Kol- chak would be given safe escort and 5000 rubles each. A number of the prisoners accepted the offer and, re- turning to their own lines, told what Trotzky had done. Within two weeks, General Thord Gray said, Kolchak had practically no army and a few months later was executed.
 General ThordIGray went to Si- beria with a Canadian expedition and was taken prisoner by the Bolsheviki when they captured VIadivostok- Be fore leaving, two attempts, he said, were made to assassinate him.
 Toward the 1aSt he said, the Bol- she7Ik troops showed better morale than Ko1chak's men. They also had one machine gun for every 20 men he said, whereas the Kolchak army had only three with every battalion almost 500 men. During the retreat of the Kolchak army, a 2,000-mile re- tirement, they were driven before ma chine guns but seldom before rifle fire General Sakharoff the Al1-RuS- 1, sian war minister and chief of staff he said, Host the army at Omsk without a fight.'

The trade died ana has not yet been revived. The trawIer com panies say that fish must be marketed in quantities in order to pay and in no other way can the business of operating steam trawlers be made profitable. Out of this situation, they say, may come chain stores for the sale of fish exclusively in big cities everywhere within twenty-four hours of the Atlantic seaboard.

Anchorage Man Talks to Members of Alaska Industrial Union

Harry G. Mccain, who is in Juneau looking after tho interests or Jack Chovin. candidate for Republican Ma tional Committeeman, addressed a meeting of Union and unorganized workers at Union Hall Saturday night
 T do not apePar before you to- night" said MT Mccain, "as labor leader. Neither do I wish to present Jack Chovin to you as deciple of Marx or q politician who, possesses any secret or magic formula which will immediately right all wrongs and settle all disputes between labor and capital. I wish to present his candl- dacy simply on the grounds that he Is a worker, successful business man and a true but independent Republican.
 of Alaska for twenty three years, both winter and summer He has lived in various parts of the Terri tory and is liked and respected every where. While his home is at Anchor age, he is genuine Alaskan and has the interest of the whole Territory at heart. If he is elected, his efforts in behalf of Juneau will be just as sin cere as those in behalf of Anchorage.
 You are told that am bum politician. Now that does not need to be proved. I admit it. Neither do I wish to present Jack Chovin IS a professional politician. In Ny opinion, the people Of Alaska have lad enough of that sort. But I do contend that MT. Chovin deserves he support of workers because he himself is worker: That business people should support him because he s successful in his own business. MT. Chovin has the necessary ability for the-sposition, and is financially able to give the necessary time to the work on his own resources.
 They want you to believe that Mir Chovin is seeking office through political promises. That is the fax lest kind of fake stuff. And in con nection with that claim they say that MT. Heron will go into office without deals or promises.
 That may be SO But the people in the Cook Inlet country where Mir Heron is well known do not believe It. They believe that he has made ! deal with J. R Hickman with the Governorship as trading stoc.s They believe that he has promised the Anchorage Marshalship to a con victed Bootleggcr. The man himself refused to deny t. If Mr Herrons hands. are elean'~oa this point. he would do better to convince the peo- pie of the fact than to try and fas- ten his own tactics on somebody else"
 The speaker gave Mr Herron's record an overhauling and concluded by predicting Mr. choyin's election The address was brief pointed and impressive.
