percent of the wholesale value of the fishery products sold in that year. An additional burd- en is then placed upon the con- sumner and the producer for large quantities that are re- shipped from this market to points out side the city. This approximates 20 percent of the fish handled and involved, in 1924, something like $15O,0OO truck charges. Large quantities of Pacific Halibut are shipped into this market, which has big influence upon the markets of the country, where it must suffer congestion, duplication and loss. Were the fishermen of this coast so organized as to control the distribution of their product, they could ignore such outrageous conditions, present a decent fish for the consumer to eat without addi- tional cost to him, and reap benefit from a large portion of three quarters of million dol lars squandered in unnecessary handling.
 And it should not be imagin- ed that there is not room for expanding the fish markets of the country, or creating new markets altogether. The Big Co-ops handling such univer- sally used commodities as fruits, raisins, walnuts, oceans, cotton and tobacco are doing this, showing that the possibilities for expanding the fisheries, the percapita consumption of which is very small, are linitless.
 Of nearly four hundred mil lion pounds of fish shipped in- to New York from all over the continent in a year, four-ffths is consumed within the Metro politan area within a radius of nineteen miles from Fulton Market. This apparently heavy consumption of fish for the 8,5OO,00O people there amounts to only a percapita consump- tion of six-tenths of a pound a week, or only sufficient for their Fridays dinner. It might be said that they only eat fish once a week. Fish! the best

ercised by the trade over those responsible. But a halibut pool of this coast could tell those responsible that if they did not clean up and present their product in a suitable manner they could handle no more halibut. They might of course obtain small and irregular quantities from the North At lantic coast, but this is hardly likely as practically all this is consumed in the New England States.
 But this inef6ciency exists not only in our retail markets but in the large wholesale markets as we'll. Few people out side our fisheries know that the largest market on the con- tinent is hundred years be- hind the times. It has no rail connections with any freigh or express terminals in the city; practically all fish arriving there Gin the year 1924, 344,- 100000 pounds out of total of 394, 000,00O) is handled by trucks. Traffic congestion in the city is so bad that most of this trucking is done by teams, speed with motor trucks being impossible and therefore more costly than by horses, and in order to avoid this congestion this trucking is done at night. Cars of fish arriving in the Metropolis in the early morn ing cannot be promptly han dled to the market and usually have to lay until evening and sold the following day. These conditions prevail at the cele- brated Fulton market and Peck Slip, on South Street, New York City. Approximately an eighth of the fish handled here is landed direct from fishing vessels, but to seek the avenues of consumption this fish must pass thru crowded metropolitan area at tremedous expense to the consumer and loss to the producer.
 Tn 1924 it cost the consumer and the producer $644,OOO dol lars to have this fish hauled from the rails to the markets.

MATCH IS CALLED OFF
Hammill of Waterbury Disappoints Large Crowd of Fans At Rogers Billiard ParlorS.

A good sized crowd of billiard fans was keenly disappointed last night when the state league match between Muldowney of this city and Hammill of Waterbury was called off. Without previous warning, Hammil's representative telephoned from the Brass City last night at g o'clock that Hammill would be un- able to come to this city because of illness. The Waterbury man apol- ogized because he had not called earlier but explained that this was due to a miscarriage of plans.
 Muldowney, Rogers entry in the league, was probably the most keen ly disappointed member of the gath ering. Despite the fact that he has lost his first three starts in the league, "Humph" felt sure that he could take the former champions measure last night. Tuesday night, Grippo of Middletown will meet Muldowney at Rogers, billiard par lors.

It now appears that the frequent injuries to Yale backfield stars are caused by overworking them. Bun nell almost never takes the ball from scrimmage, nor has Foote nor Kline done much in this way. The fourth back, at first Caldwell then Noble, and then MCGonigle, has to do all the work; the first two men toned were injured under the ter rife strain and McGunigle was fore ed to quit last Saturday. It seems to be the Yale strategy to have Hoben take the pounding tomorrow.

Two Hurt in Near
Panic at Vaudeville
Show in WOOnsOcket

Woonsocket, r. l., Jan. LAP
A near panic in which two boys were
trampled upon and painfully injured
resulted from fire which started to-
day in the Strand Theatre, as the
vaudeville performance was getting
under way. The fire was confined to
the second floor of the five story
wooden block housing the theatre
and a number of stores and apart
ments. The loss, mostly from water
and smoke, was placed unothcially al
100000.
An audience of 1900, a large num-
Der being children, filled the theatre
when the fire started around hot
air fiue under the stage. Dense
clouds of smoke rolled through the
theatre and there was a wild rush
for the two exits. Emilias Thibeault
10, and Antonio Sanford. 10, were
thrown down in the melee and their
faces were badly cut. They Were
taken to a hospital.
A general alarm brought all avail
able apparatus and the firemen put
up a stiff fight, the thick smoke max
ing their work doubly difficult. Fire
man Estdras Marley, Jr.. was struck
by a hose nozzle while climbing q
ladder and was knocked unconscious
with severe bruises to the head and
shoulders. Traffic on Main street
was held up for two hours.

No Side Conferences
By Hard Coal Factions
Planned During Recess

New York, Jan. - (AP) - New
Years Day marked a lull in negotia-
lions between the striking anthracite
miners and the mine owners. The
only member of the party committee
to remain in New York over the holi-
day was John l.. Lewis, president OF
the United Mine Workers. Major
w. w. Inglis, representing the mine
owners, returned to Scranton, pend
ing the resumption of negotiations
on Tuesday.
Neither the miners nor the oper-
ators planned to hold any meetings
or discussion on the strike situation
or possible concessions to end the
deadlock until next Tuesday. The
miners had previously made known
their intention of not using the in
term to discuss the situation while
the operators scattered for their
homes to spend New Years without
any statement.
So far the plan proposed by AL
van Markle has not succeeded in
bringing the two sides together. The
miners insist that the provisions of
the plan which call for arbitration
must be eliminated. No peace plan,
containing any offer OF arbitration,
will be acceptable to the miners,
their spokesman said. The oper-
ators, on the other hand want a
long term contract which would en-
sure continued production and a
clause providing for arbitration in
the case of a threatened strike.
