O'MALLEY MODIFIES ORDER
 CLOSING ALASKA WATERS

SEATTLE, Mar. 29-I. NJ. Foster head of the Alitak Packing Company
 who with Otto Hofstad, of the Katnai Packing Company, went to Washington on behalf of the small packers of Alaska to protest against the recently promugated fisheries re- gulations as affecting Kodiak, Af- ognak, report that modification as to the regulations was made after they had held a conference with Commissioner Henry O'Malley. He reports that the permit of the Rob- inson Fisheries Company, one of the small packers, has been modified to permit them to fish near the mouth of the Karluck river, the principal salmon stream on Kodiak island. The Katmai company has been permitted to buy fish from Uganik, Terror Litinic and yiekoda bays, which were previously closed to them.
 One of the big causes of the pro- test was the license permitting the Alaska Packers and the Northwest ern Fisheries to build a weir across the mouth of the Karluck, taking fifty. per cent of the fish going through. This priyelege has been cancelled. Foster reports, the com panies now being limited to beach seine fishing as in previous years.

Mears voiced resentment at being relieved of his duties as chairman of the Alaskan Engineering Commission before the completion of the railroad, early in June He told the Chamber that The first intimation I had that my successor was being chosen was when I read it in the newspapers. Secretary Fall, when questioned, said it was his understanding I un- derstood the arrangement. ." Col Mears said he felt that it was un- fair to him to relieve him of his dut- ies before the final completion of the railroad.
 The Colonel took umbrage at the p0D4ASIlcI oL1SculSnNS O4 AOA- S' - Steese, new head of the railroad organization, regarding his record as g transportation expert. He said, in the presence of Col. Steese that he arrived overseas after the armisrice.
 The criticism of Col. Steese by the retiring chairman followed tribute by Steese, who said the Alaska Rail road would stand as a monument to the genius of Col. Mears, who had turned over first class enterprise which he hoped to make pay it's way. He pointed out that the rail- road is already paying part of its upkeep and had a roseate outlook for increased business when feeders are built and other business devel- oped from the Outside. -... .:

Was News To Steese

When asked for a statement re. larive to the declaration of Col Nears to the effect that he had re- ceived no advance information re- garding the proposed change in the management of the Alaska Railroad, Col. Steese said he had had no pre- vlous warning of the change, being as much in ignorance regarding the matter as was Col. Mears.
 Those in close touch with com nittee activities at Washington see in the episode clash between the war and interior departments. Last summer an emissary of Col Mears asked the Chamber of Commerce 10 further a move designed ultimately to make the Alaska Road Commis- sion a part of the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission. the Mears organ izaion absorbing the Steese organiza- ton.
