Drastic Regulations to Save
Them Proposed at Con-
ference Here /

Drastic regulations for the coh.
servation of American fisheries was
proposed today by Secretary oI
Commerce Hoover to conference
of representatives of Atlantic ana
Gulf States.
Over-fishing, pollution of water
by aoil. lack of regulation ana uh-
restricted exploitation of this ma.
fional source of food has resulted
in a dwindling of the fish supply
from year to year, Hoover said. Ct
ficiaIs of nineteen Eastern ana
Southern States pledged co-opeTa-
ton to the conservation drive.
"The difficulty on the Atlantic
rests with the divided authority as
between States Hoover said. No
one State can of its own action give
adequate protection to the fish
States Must Cooperate.
II do not wish to see the extern
sion of Federal authority. The OBJ
ject of this conference is to design
some form of co-ordinated action by
the States themselves.
"One of the fundamental purposes
of our whole scheme Of Federal gov
ernment is Ito secure cooperation
between States, in matters OF funda-
mental national interest.
Hoover declared that the admins
tration has succeeded in saving the
Alaskan salmon, Northwestern hall
but and other fisheries from de-
struction by everlasting and that
these fields are on the way to re-
covery. assuring a national food
supply.
He called attention to the ex-
hausted supply of shad on the At
lantic. Years ago this fishing in
dustry tnrived in the East.
The Bureau of Fisheries trans
planted great number Of young
fish to the Pacific where under ade-
quate regulations the fishery
thrived.
Pacific shad are now shipped east
and "solemnly sold as the great
and rare rdelieaey of Atlantic
waters. - according to Hoover.
Charges that the rum war eff the
Atlantic coast is responsible for the
pronounced decrease are secuted
by State and Federal officials gath
cred here.
Publication of statements quoting
fishermen as blaming activities Of
the Coast Guard for an alleged col,
lapse of the fishing business, led
officials to call attention to other
causes for exhaustion of the supply.

 ROUTE IN WISCONSIN

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 24.-Wages of compositors employed on the Journal, the Sentinel and the Evening Wisconsin have been raised to $1021A an hour for day work and $1.121a for night work. The old rates were o7-11-12 cents and $1O8H. The publishers asked for de- creases.
 The parties were deadlocked in an ar bitration board and they agreed on Rev. Fri. F. ]. Haas of the St. Francis semi nary who wrote the award.
 The printers made a strong point by quoting from Editor and Publisher, is sue of May 31, 1924, that newspapers having a circulation of over 10000 only 160 per cent of the publishers sales dol lar is allotted to wages in the mechani- cal department The arbitrator said that if the printers full demand were agreed to this would amount to but less than an additional 1 per cent of the produc- ton cost, and that the $2 increase which he awarded, which was one-fourth of the printers demand, was justified, Tn view of the low scale and an increased

 The above Is one of A. B. Swales' Impressions of America" printed in the Labor Press Service, which is is sued jointly by the British Trades Union Congress and the Labor party.
 Mir. Swales was a fraternal delegate e from the British Trades Union Con gress to the recent Fl Paso conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor ,4
 "The American workers are pre- pared for any. attack on their wage rates" he said, land these attempts British workers should be- alert and watch developments in America. We must be ready and prepared to sup port our fellow workers across the Atlantic.
 Any mention ofsthe American trade union movement would be incomplete without reference to the great loss that the movement has suffered by the death of the leader, Mr. Samuel Com pers.
 "Mr. Gompers has suffered criticism from many quarters, but whatever criticism has been leveled at him, credit is due to him for the work that he has done in the last A years in building up the American Federation.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR
 CLAIMS HE IS ANNOYED"

Sacramento, Calif., Jan. 24.-Just prior to the legislatures ratification of the child labor amendment, Governor Richardson was quoted in the press as being annoyed" at the ratification plans of the friends of the amend ment.
 Alleged. spokesmen for the farmers attempted to create hostility against the amendment by the claim that every attempt to exempt farmers from the operation of the amendment was voted down in congress. It was shown how impossible it was for congress to insert these provisions in an enabling act, such as the amendment is. These and other exceptions can be placed in the law when congress is authorized to pass a child labor act

The majestic horse chestnut tree,
that has at least a hundred years
occupied the center of the lot, for
merly belonging to the Greggs estate,
now used for High School, having
served its time and generations,
finally succumbed to nature and had
to be cut down Many of the urchins
who stole away from the old Acad-
envy, on the site of the Graded School
building, to gather the chestnuts with
which to pelt each other, are now
grandfathers to the boys who have
just been taking part in athletics
beneath the branches. The boys of
the High School assisted in carrying
the remains of the fallen tree to their
last resting place-the wood pile.
