The Alaska fisherman., 1924-10-15
WHO'S TO BLAME?

OfQof rom the secretary OI OOIH- merce. Judge Stout is much in censed over the discrimination against his cannery and district in that he is compelled to close the seasons operations in shorter time than any other district. The "sci- entific armchair fisherman" of the Juneau Empire, Capt. John Troy, is rising in wrath over the mistreat- ment of the "poor Haines Natives" who must starve and become bur- den upon the "white" population of the Territory. Of course Delegate Sutherland was to blame in permit ting the passage of the White Bill which was supported only by the Bureau of Fisheries, the Allied Can ming Interests, the allied banking in terests, the allied tinplate interests, the allied transportation interests, the allied associated canning inter ests of the United States. With this little support Dan got the bill through but was not successful in regulating the traps as he knew was desired by residents of the Terri tory. Of course MT. William Paul was also to blame for the closing of the Lynn Canal district for he is in favor of taxing the traps out of com mission. If the Natives of Haines and other districts quit following his leadership and follow that ot lawn Troy and his associates they will be wearing diamonds and pay ing heavy income taxes, so Jawn says.
 Let us look into the true cause of the closing of this district: When the closed season took affect in the Ketchikan district practically all the canneries in Ketchikan had their packs up. The Yes Bay, Chomley and Kasaan canneries having the least number of cases put up. Smiley, Sunny Point and Fidalgo had their complete packs up, all be- ing 100000 cases or over. Fidalgo closed down their season but the other canneries sent for more cans and sent fishermen around to the West Coast of Prince of Wales Is- land for the extra five days of fish ing. When the closed season took effect they sent their fishermen to the Lynn Canal district. They then packed salmon 300 miles. All the fishermen from the different can neries concentrating on the Lynn Canal district made proper escape ment of seed fish impossible. There fore MT. O'Malley realizing that the canneries were doing themselves a wrong, and the consuming public a harm, wired to Secretary Hoover for an order prohibiting fishing for the balance of the year.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. %.
William z. Foster, candidate
for president on the commun-
ist ticket, dropped off the train
here today for his first meeting
in this Middle Western state
where the agricultural unrest
is running high.
To judge from the wailings
of the red-baiters here, there is
grave danger that Foster may
run off with the state, and in
terest in the meeting tonight is
growing.
American Legion Active.
Rumors of American Legion inter
ference have been denied, but prop
uganda in that direction has not
abated.
At the same time that Foster ar
rived, Brigadier-General Dawes passed
thru on his way to Lincoln, with a
party of bankers and capitalist po-
liticians, in a special train. Local
capitalists were excitedly rounding up
reception committees, but the General
did not stop to greet them.
1.-THE workers and farmers in Iowa
and the other states in the middle
west, particularly, know that Coolidge
and Dawes, as well as Davis and
Bryan, are hooked up so closely to
Wall Street that nothing to remedy
the crying grievances of both groups
of toiling men and women can be
looked for from these camps" said
Foster.

are learning it fast" he continued,
sis that LaFollette and Wheeler stand
for the same system as Coolidge and
Davis. They will not do anything that
touches the vital interests of our in
dustrial and financial overlords.
"And nothing can be done for the
workers and farmers, except thru the
bitterest struggle. against the forces
that now rule both the republican
democratic bipartisan combination,
and the LaFollette-W Wheeler combina-
ton of the tag ends of both parties"

"a government of workers and
farmers" was Fosters incisive an
swer, when asked what the solutiI q
was for the pressing problems Of the
day. $50 long as those who toll al
low lawyers and capitalist politicians
to hold the governing powers in their
hands, so long will the workers and
farmers be begging for favors from
their natural enemies"
"The Communists, organized in the
Workers Party, offer the only program
that cuts to the roots of exploitation"
said Foster "Only thru class struggle,
leading to the overthrow of the CAPT
talist system and the establishment
of the dictatorship of the proletariat,
in alliance with the farmers, can the
present dictatorship of capitalism,
now grinding both farmers and work
ers, be abolished"

WHEAT VALUES
 UNDERGO DROP
Prices Influenced By Crop Conditions And Down
 turns In Markets

CHICAGO, March 18.-Influenced by favorable crop conditions and by down. turns in New York stock. and cotton quotations. the wheat market under went a decline today to last weeks lowest level. Closing prices were un- settled kQ% to 1c down, with May $1.05h to 1.05ss @1.05% and July $1.Oe&. Corn lost h to %@&c, and oats M to Ac. In provisions the finish varied from % decline to 5c gain.
 Selling from houses with eastern con- nections put pressure on the wheat mar ket throughout the greater part of the day. Part of this selling was ascribed to reports that snowfalls over wide territory had made the outlook for winter wheat nearly ideal, especially in the southwest This propsect tended ot deprive the market of any aggres- sive buying support, but bottom fig- ures for the day came on-y after the weakness of stocks and cotton at New York had begun to attract more than scored a little recovery in the final half hour, pit traders correctly antici- pating that the government report aft CT the close would show a decided re- duction in the probable acreage or spring wheat this season.
 Speculative selling as well as sym pathy with wheat weakness had de- pressing effect on the corn market. Slowness of eastern shipping demand was also a handicap for friends of higher prices. Orders to purchase on declines helped, though. to rally the market at the last. Oats were eased by forecasts of better weather for seed ing.
 Provisions averaged a little higher in response to an upturn in hog values.

 NEW ORLEANS. March 1s.-The cot ton market fluctuated rather nervousiy today and trading was fairly active dur ing the greater part of the session. Aft CT declining 30 to 35 points during the morning. May trading down to 2S75c, July to 2787c and Oct. to 24.S9c, prices had good rally during the afternoon, May advancing to 29.91c, July to 2s.34c and October to 2530c or fl to 47 points up from the low of the morning. After easing off slightly in the final trading the market closed unchanged to points net higher for the day on old crop months and 1 to net higher on old crop positions At the start despite fair ly favorable Liverpool cables the market was under pressure owing to the publi- cation of the Tallulah report on the the emergence of booll weevils which was construed as bearish, as only one live weevil was found to each two tons of moss examined. A private report from a we'll known bureau predicting an increase of 5.3 per cent in acreage, and claiming that s1 per cent had been prepared was a bearish influence. As a result of these influences May traded down to 28.75c to the low of the day and October made a low at 24S9c.
 Towards the middle of the session May rallied fairly on the contention that a rally was about due but there was fresh selling and some reaction on the report that another earthquake had occurred in Japan. Prices eased off almost to the early low on the. report from Wash ington that the bonus has passed the House. When shorts endeavored to buy back what they had sold, prices ad- vanced rapidly, stimulated additionally by expectancy of a bullish weekly weather report tomorrow. Active trad ing months made new highs on this ral- ly, July advancing to 2S.34c and De- n 00fa fn nj al the close of Monday. Most of this ad- vance was lost in the last few minutes of trading and the close showed only a trifling net gain for the day.

NEW YORK, March 1s.-An early decline to 2s.s2 for May contracts was followed by rallies in the cotton market today. May sold up to 2s.09. or back to yesterdays closing quotations, and closed at 29.o0, with the general mar ket closing firm net 3 points. higher to g points lower.
 The market opened easy at a decline of 13 to 17 points and sold 80 to 50 net lower before the end of the morn ing under liquidation by recent buyers and selling through wire and commisN sion houses promoted by the circula- tion of March notices estimated at 18,-' 800 bales and a more optimistic view of new crop possibilities. The latter were encouraged by reports that only one boil weevil to two tons of moss had survived the winter at the Tallulah station, compared with 19 to one ton last year, a more favorable weather forecast and private report pointing to an increase of 5 per cent in acre. age Weak Liverpool cables were also a factor, but offerings became lighter during the early afternoon and there were rallies on covering through re- ports of a steadier tone in the stock market. .
