the most pathetic role in the picture

He carefully cultivated the slight
limp he used throughout the PFC

In his last scene, in which he
makes desperate run for the home
plate, Carey, who in his college days
was a champion sprinter, tried to
run and still keep the effect of the
limp. The result was a twisted
muscle known to athletes as a
"Charley Horse and then he

EXTEND THE SEASON

For the benefit of the Kaiser" of Petersburg fame The Alaskan hopes that the fishing season will be extended Indefinitely as in the Bthring Sea, so that he will get up his pack.
 The taxes from this elemOossinary institution runs the town; the pay checks run to over "$100,O00 a year handled through the Bank of Petersburg" and it is giving away machine shops and stores, etc., etc. (per certain mass meeting last spring.)
 Therefore, in order that they may continue giving other industries to citizens of Petersburg and that they may be all that was claimed, we hope that the Bureau of Fisheries will extend the fishing season right through to January first, 1928.
 The fishermen do not care one tinker's dam whether or not any salmon come this year They do not care a German mark whether the canneries wish the season ertend- ed or not.
 Regulations made for the benefit of servatiOn-must not be changed this year. To insure the run in the return cycle, fishing should be prohibited right now The three and four hundred salmon at four or five cents per, is not go- ing to buy much bread next winter nor put up many cases this sum mer They will be of far greater value to the Territory as seed fish than the '1ousy'' taxes they prate so much about.

PACKERS ORDER REGULATIONS
 BUREAU FISHERIES - PUPPETS

Alaskans familiar with the meth Ods of regulations and management of the fisheries of Alaska have con- tended all along that the Bureau of Fisheries are the puppets of the Packing Combine in Alaska. It is fact too often demonstrated to be denied.
 When the backBone-less gov ernor of Alaska, the pride of the Juneau Empire and the pet of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce was in office there was failure of sal mon in the Wrangell district. The fishermen, resident businessmen and Chamber of Commerce of our neigh boring City, held mass meetings a result of which was the sending of William H. Lewis and Capt. Rey- holds to appeal to the Alaska Fish Commission, in session at Juneau, and to the"governors joke" for the extension of the fishing period in the Wrangell area. Further appeal was made to Henry O'Malley, fed eral voice of the Canning Trust, but to no avail. The salmon must be permitted to escape to the spawn ing ground it would be bad pre- cedent to change the regulations. Without sufficient earnings to carry them through the winter, the fish erman closed their season. They still remember and damn Henry Q'Malley and Herbert Hoover.
 Do you blame them?
 On the 18th of July this year the regulations of the Bureau of Fish cries called for the closing of the Behring Sea area. It was So pub lished in the press and we note that at closing date the packers did not have sixty percent of their pack up. Statement was issued from the of

A FEW QUESTIONS

The Petersburg Packing Company paid in the past a tax of little Ov- CT $9,000. At the rate they are packing this season, how much case tax are they going to pay this year? With overproduction of packs for several years, what is the reason { that there is such shortage of salmon this year?
 How can the Bureau of Fisheries
 build up depleted areas when they permit dore traps in these areas? What good has the hatchery sys- tenn been in Alaska-or Canada? Where do the salmon go to when
 they leave parent stream and just
 how many years before they return?
 With the Wrangell Narrows clos
 ed to all commercial fishing for the past two years, why is it there are no fish to speak of in the Peters
 burg Creek?
 Who is the Czar of Alaska Fish |eries; his 'leftenant?"
 Why is the Kaiser worried? What is he worried about? What has the Bureau of Fisheries accomplished in thirty years of di- |rection over the fisheries of Alaska?
 When the Bureau of Fisheries designates a certain area closed to ALL COMMERCIAL fishing, how is lit that a trap can operate in that district but any seines caught are punished for violating the law? At present rate of destruction, how long will the Alaska fisheries last; what other industry is there. to turn to when this industry is gone; who will pay the bills-the
 resident fisherman? Canneryman or
 resident businessman?

FISHING SEASON FAILURE TO
 DATE UNDER HOOVER

Reports come in from the south that there is no fish; report comes in from the south that there is no fish; report comes in from the west that there is no fish; report comes in from the east that there is no fish and the cannerymen are getting worried. It is reported that Port Althorp which was ging to pack 100, 900 cases of salmon this year has closed down, that other canneries plan to shut down very shortly if the poor fish do not show up in more plentiful numbers; that the Peters burg Packing company this date last year had approximately 6O,000 cases but this year only have about 5000; that two years ago it had 96,O0O cases by the 11th of August dAO VII UC 1uChy IL Ado . lldl1 C1 that amount this year; that the Rake cannery is reported to close about the first of August unless more of he "cheod humps and de- spised dogs are put into cans.
 An illiterate Indian, despised at the polls by the cannery plutocrats said, Kill off the chickens before they lay their eggs; put in more traps and you will get more fish dreams of wealth. It is a law that when the parent is killed off before reproduction of species, the species will be exterminated. The Gterati of the Territory are too ignorant to believe that such law is applicable to the fisheries. They will pay for it and in the end leave the fisheries to those who would save it to pos terity.

from Alaska was notified. The de- legate voiced the opposition of tfe people of Alaska against placing thA salmon fisheries in the territory 0f the United States Bureau of Fisher ies without regulatory statutes by Congress. On August 16, 1922, he wrote a long letter to Herbert C.. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, and he protested against the reser- vations, and drew vivid pictures of the depleted salmon streams, and he called attention to the unjust and un-American principles of the fish reservations.
 MT. Sutherland told our Congress of the Fish Trusts idea of conser- vation as applied by the Depart ment of Commerce. For example it should be observed that the Bu- reau of Fisheries placed limits up- on the amounts that each cannery should pack. Under ordinary condi- tions, one would understand that the word limit, when applied to con- servation, would mean that the catch would be reduced in localities where the natural resources were waning Tn this case, however, il did not have this meaning.

THE aIBBRRs

Every season several hundred | irls are shipped to Alaska to gib md pack herring. They are told that the herring runs 700 to the barre! and their remuneration is 75e per barrel. But the written contract is silent on the subject of the size of the fish. It simply says the pay is to be "75t per barrel of fish" gibbed and packed. General ly the herring in Southeastern Alas ka is so small that it runs 1000 or more to the barrel, which means almost twice as much work. The girls, therefore, have to stay and work for about half of what they were led to believe they were going to receive,-or walk home.
 The bill prepared by the Attorney General provided that where the contract was silent on the subject of the size of the herring, it should be presumed that it referred to her. ring of the size of not more than 700 to the barrel This could work no injustice to the operator, for he could protect himself in the con- tract a clause giving a minimum size of the fish. But Tom Gaffney, "the Friend of Labor," would stand for no such provision. Pooling the working girls had become one of those sacred rights of Capital which needed the protection of the Legis- lature. And so, fooling and de- frauding these girls remains pro- tected industry and will remain such while the Gaffney-Lomen brand of statesmen are elected to make the laws.

LIMITATION OF PACKS
 NOT NECESSARY 1927

He who would dance must pay the tiddler.'
 In the past resident fishermen have been dancing to the music set by the cannery interests. If they felt like paying the fishermen de- cent living wage in return for sal mon sold to the canneries, they did so; if not, they did not have to do so, and they could even tell the resident fishermen to go to purga tory in no polite terms-and they did.
 They were sitting on top of the world; the fish was to be gotten by the millions through their traps; they no longer needed seiners eA- cept to fill a few extra cases. They had no thought of the future and only knew the law of payment of dividends regardless of the future.
 When the plea was made for con servation they declared :" false alarm" They packed to the limit. Two years ago the Petersburg Pack ing Company by the 1lth of August had packed 96,000 cases-but at the cost of seed fish. Today they are paying the price of their past hoggishness.
 Said one cannery man to us: T stand to lose several thousand dol lars unless I put my pack up." We did not sympathize with him for we have seen too many children en- tr school without needed under wear; we have loaned money to oth- CTS to buy flour and milk and su- gar; we have asked and received for these people from fraternal organi- cations cast off clothing and even bedding where it could be best used.
 The resident fisherman has paid the price and now MT. Canneryman, must pay the fiddler for he has danced without paying heretofore.
 The run from one end of the country is failure and in the limit ed time to closing period-they will not be able to put up enormou5 packs, in fact We expect a few will lose their interest in these can n.eries

SHALL WE HAVE REAL
 CONSERVATION

As We enter upon this part of our theme we find the most amazing facts recorded in two documents which were published by the Gov ernment Printing Office in Washing ton, D. c. One is entitled "The Looting of Alaska's Resources. It is a speech which was made by Hon. Dan Sutherland of Alaska, Wednes- day, February 2S, 1923. It bears the number 3589S-23586. The other document is entitled "Conser- vation in Alaska as Practiced by the Department of Commerce Under the Direction of the Fish Trust" It is speech of Hon. Dan A. Suther- land of Alaska which was made Sat urday, February 2, 1924. It bears the number S4123-132 In these two government documents the de- legate to Congress from Alaska re- veals how MT. Hoover and MT. O'Malley were the servants of the Fish Trust and how they helped the trust by means of rules of the Bu- reau of Fisheries. The footing con- sisted of the delivery of the Ma tion's greatest natural food supply and Alaska's largest resource over to the Chicago, San Francico Fish Trust by the United States Bureau of Fisheries of the Department Of Commerce. This was accomplished by two fisheries reservations, one of which embraced about 1900 miles of sea-coast. Both of these reser- vations were made in 1922 by Ex- ecutiye orders.
 The first reservation was obtain ed by the attorney for Libby, Me- Neil and Libby. The attorney went to Washington early in 1922 and approached the Department of Agri culture with a request for the cre- ation of a bird reserve which would automatically become a fishery re servation, but he was informed by that department that it would not be party to the creation of pri- vate monopoly in the Alaskan sal mon packing industry. Afterwards, through the efforts of the Bureau of Fisheries, the executive order was issued No notice of the inten- tion of the Department of Com merce was given to the people most vitally interested-the coastal pop ulation of Alaska-nor to their re- presentative in Congress, nor to the general public, but it was ac- complished surreptitiously at the in stigation of the attorneys of the packers.
 The proposal of the second reser- vation was advertised in Pacific Coast publications and the delegate
