 eral direction of the tide, and across the tide, in toward the grass banks, the same to be measured to its full extent and marked by the fish commission with red bouys before the con- mencementlof of the fishing season.
 That the. fish commission be stripped of its authority to confscate boat and gear at first offense.~
 That the red salmon season be allowed to open the 1st. of May of each year in order to give the fishermen time to get located and get their stakes out as the first and only runs have been known to occur as early as>~ the 9th. day of May, and the best run of fish in the spring of 1925 from all reports was over before the season opened. That the season be ex- tended right through until the silver salmon season starts be- cause the run of fish in the Copper River delta is running right through until the time the silver salmon run starts.
 That law be enacted to limit boat to stake and hold one location only. It has been the practice of canneries to send out a couple of men to stake and hold fishing locations for the whole cannery, and to get out in the middle of the winter in order to secure the best locations. Others must follow suit or be left behind. This works a hardship on everybody and by opening the season not later and not before the 1st. of May it gives the fishermen sufficent time to locate and get ready and gives everybody an equal show.
 That no rules shall be chang ed after the opening of the season, either on the Copper River delta or Prince William Sound.

UNIONS RAISE
WAGES AND
SHORTEN HOURS

Washington. unions num-
bering 775,112 members in nine indus
tries increased their average wage
rates four and one-half cents per hour
in 1925, as compared with 1924, and
secured an average work week of 457s
hours, declares the United States bu-
reau of labor statistics in it's annual
report on the union scale of wages
and hours of labor. The average hour
" rate advanced from $1.046 in 1924
to $1.O91 in 1925, an increase of 4.3
per cent.
The bureaus figures cover bakers,
building trades, chauffeurs and team
sters and drivers, freight handlers,
granite and stone cutters, laundry
workers, linemen, book and job print
ing and publishing, newspaper print
ing and publishing, and street rail
way motormen and conductors.
The per cent of increase in hourly
wages in 1925 over 1924 follows:
Bakers, 3.5 per cent; building trades,
3.9 per cent; chauffeurs and team
sters and drivers, 5.5 per cent; freight
handlers, 0.6 per cent; granite and
stone cutters, 81 per cent; laundry
workers, 7.2 per cent; linemen, 0.3
per cent; book and job printing and
publishing, l per cent; newspaper
printing and publishing, II per cent;
street railways (motormen and con-
ductors), II per cent.
The rates and hours of street rail-
way motormen and conductors do not
enter into the grand averages for all
trades combined as men in these oc-
cupations do not have uniform hours
The average union hours per week
in each trade group are: Bakers,
47.4; building trades, Al; chauffeurs
and teamsters and drivers, 56.4;
freight handlers, 45.4; granite and
stone cutters, AL; laundry workers,
48.1; linemen, 1856; book and job
printing and publishing, 44.4; news
paper printing and publishing, 45.3.
Since 1913 union bakers have re-
duced their working hours per week
1913 per cent; chauffeurs, 1913 per
cent; teamsters, 11.S per cent, and
freight handlers, 231.
''In the earlier years of the bu-
reau's reports on union wages" the
report states, weekly hours in the
bakery trades frequently ran from
Sd to 60 and in some cases as high as
" and 78 hours. The steady demand
on the part of the bakers for shorter
hours, together with the introduction
of machinery in almost all bakeries,
may be given as the causes of such
reduction.
Freight handling has also partici-
pated in the advance of machinery as
an agent in ameliorating the toll in

He lacks courage. And nature hates
a coward because it is not in the
nature Of things for any man to be
afraid. The man who has knowledge
and Imagination and still does not
possess confidence to go forward is a
poorer specimen than he who is merely
ignorant or dull.
The pessimist never gets anywhere
himself. And if we heed his foolish
and cowardly nonsense, we very likely
will not get anywhere ourselves. We

BEWARE OF PESSIMISTS

When we meet the chap who insists
that everything is all wrong and there
is no possible way of making anything
right, we want to be very sure not to
let him influence us.
Sometimes that sort of a chap is
gifted with eloquence, very persua-
sive, and full up with figures that
seem to bear evidence in favor Of his
contention. He almost makes us be-
lieve that everything worth while is
impossible and wrong. The out-and-
out pessimist, however, lacks three
qualities that you and l have and
should use.
He lacks knowledge. And no man
who lacks knowledge of what the race
of man has done is able to give any
kind of worthwhile opinion as to
what men can or will Go.
He lacks Imagination. And imagi-
nation is needed to lay out the plan
in advance of the work that has pro-
duced everything man has accom-
plished for his own benefit.

"The automobile has gradually sup

consumed in transporting goods from

ments are settled before that date.

By JOHN B. COOK

Dear "Barratt's Chapel" sacred
shrine,
Seems linked to Heaven, almost
divine;
Where'er 1 am-where'er I roam,
This precious place seems Home
Sweet Home"
From memory's view I see the spot,
Can see the Chapel, can see the

Can see the trees, can see the grass;
AS all these things in visions pass.
Thousands have entered through the
wide open door,
Hundreds have entered, who will
enter no morei A.
Hundreds are sleeping beneath the
sod,
In the little Church yard, near the
House of God"
This house of worship has stood
times test
And it stands today for righteous
ness;
For righteousness, for truth, for
love,
The attributes of God above.
Long may this primitive church
endure
A haven of hope for the rich and
the poor;
The high and the low, the strong
and the weak;
When communing together it's ben
efits seek.
May it still live on and a bulwark
be,
To the cause of Christ and human
ity;
For all these blessings let us pro-
claim
Our thanks to God in Jesus name.
God bless the men, the valiant men,
Who made our nation free
God bless the ones, the noble ones,
Who built this church to Thee.
God bless the ones who caused its
birth
God bless the ones of noble worth;
God bless the preachers of bygone
years
Who consecrated midst smiles and
tears.
God bless the church as it stands
today,
May all the barriers be forced away:
For through the church is hope and
joy.
Serenest hope without alloy.
So dear old Chapel a haven to
me-
In all thy grandeur Simplicity"
l bow my head, I bend my knee,
In deep affection unto thee.
I know no spot, no spot so fair
AS "Barratt's Chapel" in Delaware;

Thy very name we all adore
And shall do so till times no more.

needs, at this time, and at all times,
and that is the support of his men,
bers. If you will not support him,
he would like to have you talk the
matter over, to find way out. If

church. Let us try to strengthen
her weak places, in love, this will
give us more strength.
