MINNESOTA GAME KILLED

st. Paul, April 17.-Four million, two
hundred and thirteen thousand, three
hundred and forty one wild fowl were
killed in Minnesota In 1919 and 1920,
according to a report just issued by
Carlos Avery, state game and fish
commissioner, being the totals COM
piled from the reports Of hunters as
required under the game license sys-
tenn The kill in 1919 was 2,129,350
birds, while that Of 1920 was 2.063,
991. Ducks constitute by far the
totals for 1919 and 1920 being 1904
900 and 1,414,889, respectively.
In 1919, "a 1-2 per cent of tho 34,-
178 big game hunters bagged deer
or moose, 1926 deer and 359 ant
Tered moose being killed. In 1920
there were 1852 deer and 1854 moose
killed, or a slight increase. Mr.. Av-
cry is in favor of not allowing the
hunting of female deer ard says that
either a law for the killing of only
buck deer or closed season will be
necessary.
s "The widest and most reckless
guess, prior to instituting the system
of hunting reports" Mr.. Avery said.
would have fallen far short Of the
actual bag of wild fowl In Minnesota.
Minnesota's system of obtaining re-
ports on the kill of game has been In
effect only two years, and while much
Illuminating information has been se-
cured, 1t Is too early to form positive
Judgment or definite conclusions ex-
cept in a general way. We have
learned that the amount of wild game
taken and used is far greater than
anyone had imagined and 1t has
brought vividly and sharply to the
attention of the public the great i'm
portance and value of wild animal life
as an economic asset"

PRINTERS HOURS FIXED.
Wage Scale Which Will Expire on

Possibilities of labor trouble between
union printers and employers of Wash

ceptance of the forty-four-hour week by
the employers. it was announced last
night by Secretary George G. Seibold OF
the union.
Conferences between the committee of
the union and the closed shop branch of
the Typothetae Of Washington have al
ready resulted in an agreement on the
forty y-four-hour week. although the wage
scale. which will expire on May /. is yet
open for discussion. The latter propo-
sition remains the only source of dis
agreement between printers and en-
ployers.
A referendum to local unions has been
sent out by local Typographical Union
headquarters calling for a special. as
sessment before the end Of May to be
placed in fund Mr.. Seibold said that
already 100000 was set aside for any

Commissioners Pare Pro-

Assured that Congress will give con-

the public schools during the speclal
session, the Commiss oners are pre-
pairing to submit to the House sub
committee in charge of District ap,
preparations this week the new schooi
building program. which is designed
to remedy only the most serious OF
the overcrowded conditions.
After sounding out congresslonal
leaders, the city heads and school au-
thorities infer that Congress at this
time is reluctant to grant an appro-
priation large enough to meet all the
exigencies in the school system, which
it is estima ted, would take more than
s5.000,0 900. Therefore the buildlne
project will provide for the most vital
Of the needs and will require approx
mately S2.000,000.

stood, will furnish just a sufficient
number Of additional rooms to give
children in part-time classes fuil

from rented quarters in churches an'

tiles have indicated that their next
step would be to draft another prof.
ect, to include the needs overlooked
this time. This probably will not be
done, however. until the next session
1t has been proposed by some school
officials and board of education mem
bers that as soon as the building pro-
gram is sent to Congress, they take
action to have all civic organizations,
clubs and other associations pledge it
their support. A campaign of pub.
licity, similar to the one conducted
last fall and winter by Supt. Frank
w. Ballou. also has been suggested.
These plans, however, have met op-
position in some quarters in the
school system, due to the fact that
last year school officials were criti-
cised by members of Congress and
others for being too windy in pub
licly advertising the conditions of the
schools. Whether the publicity cam
paign will be used by school officials
this time is problematical. The ques-
ton. it is believed. will be definitely
decided at a meeting of the school
board Wednesday afternoon.
