The total enrolment of Indianapo-

Murray Dalman, head of the re-

The increase in school children

In estimating the per capita in

ALASKAN SALMON
PACKERS OBJECT
TO CONSERVATION
Rapidly Diminishing Supply
Causes Government to
Intervene,
Times Washtngton Bureau,


WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Alas-
kan salmon packers are raising a
great protest because the United
States Government. through the De
partment of Commerce, is now con-
serving salmon in Alaskan waters.
For years the supply of salmon in
the Northwest has been diminishing
TO such a marked degree that even
the packers realized there was need
for action Of some kind If salmon
was not to be exterminated as com
been on the East.
The salmon is a temperamental
fish. II Will not spawn anywhere
but in fresh water and it viii not
spawn in any fresh water except
/ the place where it was born.
VIII Eradicate Fish
Consequently the practice of catch
ing salmon as they come upstream
from the sea to spawn results in time
in complete eradication of salmon
from certain streams. unless some
spawning takes phase in that stream.
Accordingly, after much dispute
On the matter, Congress passed. a
meas ure just before adjournment

Of Commerce to make any regula-
tons necessary for conserving Alas
kan fisheries, and requiring him TO
make certain of at least so per
| cent OF the run in any stream es.

days later Secretary Hoover issued
the regulations. That was when the
I storm Of protest started.

Apparently each Of the packers
who had urged conservation expect

None Of them expected restrictions
so drastic as those laid down. And

result will be a 5000, 900 loss. n mum.
Der Of ruined companies, and per
haps an increase in the price OF
salmon, the packers say.
But another result, the bureau Of
fisherss points out. will be an in,
creased run Of salmon in future
years and eventual preservation in.
stead of eventual extinction Of the
/ salmon packing business.
