labor leaders.
 The laws of our country are full of discriminations against sects, races and classes of people. They were inserted because of the bias, animus or hatred of legislators elected by the people. The unthink ing people who elected them are to blame for the discriminations.
 The Golden Rule is seldom repeat ed by churchmembers and others during business hours or on election day.
 Twenty-Five per cent of the men drafted during the late war were iliterate We the citizens of the United States are to blame for this condition. Our country will not be litcrates from participation in gov ernment, but can only be saved by seeing to it that every child has 6 chance to go to school and by keep ing them in it.
 
 If illiteracy is an evil and d danger to our country, after you have shut the voting booths to the illiterates, you still have them. The danger remains to threaten our homes, our stores, our wives and children, doesn't it?
 Can you repeat the Golden Rule? Does it begin "do unto others as-."
 Suppose your child were one of these to whom l refer?
 Do you wonder that l, a man born and raised in the Church, should say that our Alaskan churches are rot Christian churches? That they are mostly society churches? That the ministers-With few exceptions care more about their records of church attendance, the size of the collections, than they do about the salvation of souls?
 Henry O'Malley faithfully prom ised several senators that he would clean up the Bureau of Fisheries. Conditions last year were worse than they ever have been.
 The officers of the Sitka Camp are Chairman F. D. Price; vice Chairman Mark Jacobs; Treasurer, Martin Thompson; Secretary A. P. Hope.
 Hoover's advisory board for the conservation of Alaska fisheries is to be composed of the "best thoughts or the country" We have too much
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-06-15

From the reading of statements made by Messrs. O'Malley and Hoov- CT, Alaskans know nothing about the fisheries.
 Does anyone remember how long it is since a soul was converted in the first Presbyterian church of Juneau?
 We suppose that the territorial school tax will be deducted from the above and the balance of $25OO will go to enrich the small businessman.
 
 According to the new schedule for the hiring of labor the Packing Trust in Article 12 stipulates that their "peons" shall not be allowed more than $30.OO to spend in Alaska during the entire season.
 * * *
 The Packers are now hiring seine crews but they do not know as yet what schedule of prices they are go~ ing to pay. They never know until the middle of the season what they will be able to pay.
 
 The definition for the word Con scrvaticn' is supcrvision-protec+ion preservation. We would say that insofar as the Packing Trust is con- cerned Hoover's avowed policy of conserving our fisheries is the real thing.

WELFARE BOARD
HEARINGS To
OPEN
Heated Controversy Expected
Before Special House
Subcommittee

Sharp controversy Is expected
when the special House subcommit-
tee begins hearings tomorrow on
the bill providing for creation of a
District welfare board.
District, civic, religious, and well
fare organizations have requested
that their representatives be given
a hearing before the committee, and
several conflicting propositions have
been advocated and will be dis
cussed.
The subcommittee, of which Con-
gresham Oscar z. Keller of Mime
sofa, is chairman, has under con
sideration the bill which was drafted
by the Committee On Public Wei
fare legislation, of which Justice
Frederick L. Siddons is chairman.
The bill provides for Capitalization
Of public welfare work in one de-
partment and abolishes the Board of
Childrens Guardians and the Board
of Charities.
Congressman Keller declared to-
day that he will make every effort
to prevent sensational clashes of
witnesses before the committee. He
desires the enactment Of compre-
hensive welfare legislation during
the present session Of Congress and
will make every effort to push the
hearings to an early conclusion.

DR.. Fowler Is Investigating
Sources of Supply As N. Y.
Embargoes Chickens

Sources of Washington's live
chicken supply are being checked
up today by the District Health
Department, following reports
that a mysterious disease is af-
fecting poultry from eight West
ern States.
Embargos on chickens from
these States have been declared
by health officials Of New York
city and Governor Richie of
Maryland and one is being con-
sidered in Philadelphia.
Thought Safe Here.
The local market, Doctor William
C. Fowler, District health. officer,
believes, obtains few, if any, chick
ems from North and South Dakota,
Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa and Nebraska where the
mysterious disease has been dis
covered.
Doctor Fowler has asked the De-
partment of Agriculture if Wash
ington obtains poultry from any OF
the eight States.
The embargo is expected to create
a shortage Of chickens here. Fowl
from nearby States probably will
be diverted in part to New York
and other States il the embargo is
extended.
New York Trade Big.
New York City shipments from
the western States have whole
sale value of about 100000 week
Nv, Officials Of the National As
ISOLATION Of Poultry Dealers have
submitted a brief to New York
health officials opposing the en-
barge.

MERGER
Cong. CoIton's Measure Would
Let One Company Take
Control of Other

A. merger Of Washington street
railway companies is authorized in
a bill introduced in the House by
Congressman Don B. Cotton, of
Utah, which was referred today to
the special subcommittee of the
House District Committee appointed
to consider street railway legisla-
ton.
Congressman Colton's bill would
permit either Of the existing COM
panies to acquire controlling inter-
est in the other company, but does
not compel a, merger.
The subcommittee, which is
headed by Congressman Florian
Larnpert, Of Wisconsin, now has
before it two bills authorizing. but
not compelling merger; one bill
providing for compulsory merger;
a bill providing for five cent fare:
and q bill providing half fare for
school children. 1t is not likely
that action will be taken on any
OF these measures during the pres.
ent short session of Congress-.

ABAND0NS
PLAN FOR
SPECIAL
COURT
Difference in Schemes Held
Slight-Drastic Auto Law
Is Proposed

Decision to abandon the idea of
establishing a Traffic Court for
the District of Columbia and in
stead to consider the proposition
Of increasing the personnel of the
present court handling traffic
cases by either one or two extra
judges was made today at the
initial meeting of the joint COM
mittees of the Senate and House,
gathered for the purpose of franz
ing the most drastic traffic meas
ure in the history Of the city.
Vote FavOrs Increasing Court.
The vote on the traffic court
question was 8, in favor of abandon
ing the idea, to opposed with
Congressman Thomas L. ,Blanton of
Texas, not voting. 1t was admitted
that the difference between author
izing the appointment of two new
judges to handle traffic cases and
creation of traffic. court was
slight The opponents of the
traffic court contended that the
adding Of two more judges would
save expense and also permit the
judges to handle general cases IL
traffic business should be light.
In calling the meeting to order
today, Chairman L. Heisler Ball
said it would be the purpose Of the
gatherings to stop wholesale MUIR
ders in Washington" by agreeing
upon a drastic traffic bill with
teeth in it.
Bill Is Printed.
The bill ordered drafted by Chair
man Ball has been printed and viii
be used at the joint committee meet
ings as basis of discussion.
1t was agreed today to hold joint
meetings until Chairman Balls
tentative bill of twenty-six pages
has been entirely gone over and q
measure prepared for presentation
In Congress. Another meeting will
be held tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock.
High spots. which were men,
toned at today's meeting and which
will be given thoughtful considera-
ton, included a law prohibiting the
use of DINNERS by District mo-
florists. Jail sentences for reckless
drivers, and those operating an
automobile under the influence of
liquor, impounding of automobiles
and issuance Of complaint cards
which would enable every resident
Of the city to act as policemen.
Chairman Ball advised the mem
bers that he also wanted them to
discuss the advisability of authorlz-
ing the District Commissioners TO
establish certain boulevards, north
andA south and east and west, from
which heavy traffic will be steered
and where all motorists entering
them from side streets will be COM
PEELED to come to full stop.
BlantOn Proposes Features.
Congressman Blanton gave notice
that he hoped the committee would
make driving while intoxicated, use
Of a smoke screen, and interfering
with an officer making an arrest at
least a felony with punishment not
less than six months in jail.
Senator Royal 8. Copeland of New
York, took prominent part at to-
days hearing and said. that he GER
tainly favored more judges for the
District. He thought 1t was import
ant that the judges here were con-
sistent in their application of the
law. He was opposed to one
tenient judge and one severe judge,
es has been the case in many in
stances in his own state, he said.
