QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

&C. A. E. asks: "How is it that
I can still get loud stations on my

Fishermen maintain when gillnets are used, they themselves should be the ones who should de- eide on how to use them, also their boats whether they should have power or sail; the Bristol Bay rulg ings forbidding the use of power boats is not very consistent in the advanced stage of modern convent ences that are at our command to- day.

 Last season we were still using drift nets but had an additional 12 hours closed period. Both sea- sons were fairly large runs of sal mon; last season there was an early breakup and also an early run of fish, as the season opens the goth day of May, the fishermen missed the early run which was the main cause for 80 small a pack, al so the season was closed the 28th day of June instead of the 10th day of July so missed the late run.
 1922 was the big year for the number of boats and fathoms of gear used. There were approxi mately 200 boats and 75,OOO fath- oms of gear or an average of 500 fathoms of nets per boat while ir 1925 and 26 each boat was limited to 25O fathoms; there being 91 boats and numerous skiffs that could only handle 15O fathoms, in all 45,OOO fathoms of gillnets were used.
 Prior to 1925, stake nets were mainly used though some drifting was done near the bars; most of the stake nets had there beginning at the grass banks but had to be a spe- cifed distance from the mouths Of the Rivers and Sloughs. Very lit tie time was lost on account of storms. If too rough at high tide, the men tended to the nets when the tide receded. They also had no closed period and designated day to commence or stop fishing.
 With the rulings we have at pre- sent the season commences the 20th day of May, and allowed 250 fath- oms of gear to each boat and not permitted inside the 15OO foot limit off the grass banks, only allowed to drift; having a closing period of AS hours per week and season clos ing the 10th day of July. There are thirty nets as far as gear is con- cerned, it's there method of use. Drift nets are moveable nets; set nets are anchor nets and used where there

Alaska Monthly Payroll

A great many complaints are coming into our office charging can. nery companies (mainly herring plants) with firing employees with out paying them off. The most re- cent ones are Dr. Waxman and the Emlock Packing Company of La touche. Dr. Waxman went so far as to say, We can fire you now without any comeback because the legislature failed to pass the month ly payroll law" (Note-this is ths law which Tom Gaffney of Nome was instrumental in defeating).
 For the reason that laboring men are mainly uninformed, We take the liberty of printing the statute introduced in the Senate by Senator Frank Aldrich.
