 ORGANIZATION
Differences Over Uniting Trol- lers and Seiners Ir0ned Out; Matter Taken Care of Tn Bly, Laws.

The Trollers met for their second meeting in the Deep Sea Hall last Monday night with Tom Barnby in the chair.
 After the meeting of April 26th, there was much discus sion and some opposition among the trollers to joining an or ganization begun by seiners.
 The discussion as started by Simondson who felt that that the trollers should go no fur ther than to find out if the trollers wished to organize. He found support. T. Louis however produced the argu- ment which turned the meeting when he declared that if the men did nothing that night, the Union would go to sleep for another year. "At least" said he, 'Let those of us who are here organize, and we will have something to work with. We decided last meeting to or ganize, what's use talking about that again. That's going back ward"
 Others supported him, but the meeting Jagged along. Eric K, Johnson then moved that they elect a new chairman. This was after Barnby had had a talk with Johnson. The motion carried.
 Allen Johnson was then elect ed chairman, and Tom Barnby took the floor. He injected new life in the meeting, and Johnson made good as chair man.
 Ole Wenabo, secretary of the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union, was invited to speak to the meeting. He gave very good advice which found more sup port as the men talked about his remarks.
 He called their attention to the fact that both trollers and seiners were salmon fishermen. "Why don't you men ask for charter in the Salmon Fish ermen's Union. Then when man is a troller, he would be

FISH TRAPS OF WASHING
 TON UNDER ATTACK
Prosecuting Attorney Charges
 Waste.

Prosecuting Attorney Floyd Harfield of Island County, Washington, charges criminal waste against the State Fish cries Department of Washing ton. This Department has long been under the absolute in- fuence of the Seattle packers. He said in part;
 'Your patrol winks at use less and wholesale destruction by traps, yet if a troller at- tempts to market salmon under Is inches, your patrolmen ar rest him and bring him to me to prosecute. I have arrested them, but, after visiting the traps and witnessing destruc- tion there, I have sworn off, never again, for me-"
 It seems that Harfe1d had complained to E. A. Sims, chairman of the States Fish cries Board about the whole sale destruction of fish by the fish traps. But Sims, replied that it was up to the prosecut ing attorney to arrest and fine the operators of the traps. Hat field replied that something should be done by the state Board itself to stop the des- truction of salmon by the traps.
 ''There has been a policy of discrimination" he said, "also wanton slaughter of young sal mon and failure to endorse proper conservation methods which makes it impossible for me to cooperate with the De- partment and which will result in complete destruction of the industry, if it is not checked. :"

HOOVER FEARS
CHAOS IN AIR

Unless Congress passes radio
legislation at this session, giving
the Government authority to con-
troll broadcasting, some $500. 600, 900
worth of radio equipment now used
in millions of homes might as
well be thrown away" Secretary of
Commerce Hoover said today.
Complete chaos in broadcast
ing" was predicted by Hoover with
out control legislation, and in the
event the Government loses it's suit
against station WJAZ lChicago),
which is accused of pirating a
wave length.
IAN adverse decision in this case,
said Hoover, means the end of
the present Government control of
radio broadcasting.
1t would mean, he said, that the
Department of Commerce would
have to grant some 500 applications
for new stations, and mad rush
by all stations to secure wave
lengths above 800 meters. with the
result that there would be con-
fIicts and confusion in the air.

MERGER Of CAR
LINES NEARS

The resignation Of George e.
Hamilton, president Of the Capital
Traction Company. taking effect
today, officials of the Public Utili-
ties Commission claim that early
steps toward a more complete under.
standing between the two traction
companies should be taken.
Although Hamilton often had
expressed himself as favorable to
a merger, he never has engaged ac-
lively in any movement which
might bring tangible results, it was
said.
John H. Hanna, vice president Of
the Capital Traction Company, to-
day assumes presidency OF the
company, a position in which he
has been acting since Hamilton
made known his intention of re-
signing some weeks ago.
According to officials of the COM
mission, difficulties now should be
ironed out gradually, and either
William f. Ham. president Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, will be chosen president
Of the merged company or Hanna.
will be chosen, Ham taking over
control of the Potomac Electric
Power Company.
The commission expects to receive
word of marked progress toward
a merger soon.
