COMP PANlES TAKE STEPS PROTEST
 FISH RULING

SEATTLE, Jan. 17.-Independent fishing concerns operating in Alas kan waters are taking steps to pro- test against regulations by Secre- tary Hoover and Commissioner OMalley of the Bureau of Fisheries, under the recent declaration of the President in which the Kodiak and Afognak districts were declared a Government reservation. The con- plaint is made that the regulations favor the Alaska Packers Association and the Northwestern Fisheries Co.,. I. M. Foster, head of the Alitak Con- pany, is now in Washington, and Otto Hofstad, general manager of the Katmai Packing Company, left for Washington today to register their protests with the Department of Commerce. The independent managers assert that the fishing li- eenses for 1923 forbid their fishing whsro they made their largest catch last year.
 Inquiries at Cordova office of the Bureau of Fisheries have elicited the information that the protests Of the independent companies evidently refer to regulations applied to the district at Karluk river, where the Alaska Packers Association and the Northwestern Fisheries Company have extensive plants, and where the Alitak and Katmai companies last year made enormous catches through the employment of purse seiners, inn ported from the States. The canner- ies of the two latter companies, it is stated, are 80 and 60 miles respective ly from the Karluk district, yet the fishermen of those canneries last summer appeared off the Karluk river, as did two floating canneres, and made large catches, as result of which, for the first time in a number of years, the salmon run at karluk was short the necessary number of fish for the protection of the supply. It is not known at the local office of the Fisheries Bureau on what grounds she protest of the independent con- panies is made, since, it is stated, no regulations covering the new reserva- tions have so far been received, but it is evident that an effort is being made to forestall action on the part of the Government in restricting the fishing at the Karluk river.
