Would Empty The
 Fish Traps

On motion of the Klawock Camp of the Alaska Native Brotherhood it appears that there is one law for seinels and another for fish traps, fOl example, all seines are required tn be empty of fish by six o'clock Saturday night of each week, ana yet the fish traps are permitted to hold fish and take and kill fish dur ing the weekly closed period Upon inquiry of officials of the Bureau of Fisheries, ou' members are inform ed that if they are caught with their nets in the water and fish therein, that such persons could be arrested and made to prove that the fish were caught during the legal sea- son. On the other hand, no such course of acton is required with re- spect to fish traps.
 We call attention to the fact that tha law passed by Congress says that it shali be unlawful to take catch Or kill salmon during the weekly closed season, and we main tain that to take or kill trap fish on Sunday is unlawful.
 We recommend that all forms of gear be required to be empty of fish ar the hour designated by law.
 It is ordered that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Secretary f Commerce, the Bureau of Fisheries, and to Delegate Dan Sutherland
 Adopted this 24th day of Novem- bel, 1928, at Sttka. Alaska by the Grand Convention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood representing sixteen towns in southeastern Alaska.

Opposed to System of Official
 Blackmail in First Division

The Grand Convention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood to pro- pose what it believes to be correct and just system for regulating the fisheries of southeastern Alaska not including Yakutat district.
 1st: That all fish traps be abolished because these devices are nothing more than a special privilege that is contrary to the White Fish Law WI ich prohibits an exclusive grant of the right to fish in a given area. Also because it is the cause of the decline of our fisheries.
 Second That the closed season system of conserving fish is wrong because "If you breed late fish, you will get late fish This is the view of such scientist as Dr. Charles GIL bert; it is the view of a number of the officials of the Bureau of Fish. cries expressed in private conversa- tiOn to several of this convention; it seems to be the tendency even now; it tends to conserve the late fish and leaves unprotected the early run
 3rd. That the closed area system is wrong because these areas are fixed and while may be right at the time fixed, due to changes in weather conditions and other tunforseen matters, may be wrong.
 4th Tn place of the closed season, We recommend weekly closed sys-. tenn which cen be shortened or ex- tended to meet the conditions around each creek or spawning area.
 5th. We contend that the unit Of conserving salmon should be the stream, and whenever sufi ~i1.lt number of salmon are escaping into the stream that the restricted area be changed even to abolishment, it being understood that the restricted area may also be enlarged when conditions require such action
 sth. That the system of stream watchmen be maintained, but that supervisors having good judgment De given districts of perhaps 100 miles.
 7th. That the weekly closed sea- son begin at midnight because this will end disputes, the opening or closing of the weekly season in day. light seems to be used by the Bu- reau of Fisheries merely to increase the number of convictions. Tn the case of convictions in Klawock liar

fishermen at the hour of six accord ing to their clocks asked the officer
 of the United States government guarding the restricted area what time it was. He answered that it to fish by their own time. Upon do- ing this, this same stream watchman arrested the fishermen for fishing before six o'clock. Upon appeal to l fish warden N o. Hardy he upheld the refusal of the stream watchman in his refusal to inform inquiring l fishermen what time it was. Upon appeal to the field agent, Dennis ] Winn, he also upheld the stream waterman The United States Dis 1 trict Attorney, Justin w. Harding tfereupon both directly and through head Fish Warden OConnor, in- { formed these inquiring fishermen /, that unless they entered plea of guilty to charge of unlawful fish l ing and pay a fine of $400 and re- lease the fish caught to the gov i ernment and pay all costs, he would proceed to confscate the boats and other gear used ir fishing Under this system of official blackmail, the principal actor of which is head warden the natives paid the fines under protest.
 8th. Tn view of the fact that the Bureau of Fisheries and the United States District Attorney of the First Division of Alaska ere using the law improperly, bargaining for plea of guilty on penalty of confiscating the boat and gear worth often times over S5,OOO., We recommend that the law be changed so that the fish law shall conform to the practice of the prohibition law in respect to seizures, namely that there shall be no confiscation until there has been a conviction of the person charged with the crime. Under pre- sent conditions, the United States Attorney refuses to bring any charges against the fishermen and proceeds in an admiralty action. He thus virtually deprives citizens of the United States of their right of by 3ury
 g. So long as fish traps exist, we recommend that in the northern dis trict of Southeastern Alaska, fish ing with fish traps and seines be prohibited each year until July 18th, opened from July 18th to September 18th and closed for the balance of the year; that in the southern dis trict of Southeastern Alaska, that the closed season for these type of gear be from January 1st to July 18th, and again from October 1st to December 31st This will pro- tect the early runs of salmon which are now about depleted, and will put the fish traps and seines on an equality.
 10. River districts should be handled by themselves. Usually fishing can be done only very few hours each day, and usually only on the down tide because of the snags which seem to point down ward. We therefore recommend that the Stikine River, the Taku River, the Chilcoot and Chilkat Riv- CT districts be handled according tc the peculiar conditions at each place.
 Adopted by the Alaska Native Brotherhood, in convention assem- bled, representing sixteen towns in Southeastern Alaska from Yakutat to Cape Fox, at sitka, Alaska this 26th day of November, 1928.

 Two Eskimos, Flossie George and Rcs COG Max from Point Barrow were taken into the Grand Camp unti! their return to Point Barrow whe.e they will organize a series of far north camps thus beginning work of expansion that has been desireable and long planned for link in the Brotherhood chain. William L. Paul was unanimously elected Grand Presdident on Friday afternoon following his reply to the charges against him which were so thoroughly broadcasted by the Juneau Empire, Ketchikan Chroni- cle and the Petersburg Press who by carefully timing their stuff, succeed ed in turning the recent territorial election into a partial defeat of the Republican ticket. The full eXplana- tion of this big political coupe has boHnd the native people of south eastern Alaska into stronger and gr' ater organization with bonds of harmony and understanding.
 Capt Charles Newton of Rake popular throughtout southeastern Alaska was elected vice President Sandy Stevens of Douglas, Sect George Demmert. Klawock,, treas Edward Williams, Rake, sergeant at-arms, were officers elect.
 Much good work was accomplished during the closing days of the con- vention and resolutions passed on the schools, prohibition question and fisheries and a solution of vital questions that effect the entire terri tory were earnestly sought for.
 All delegates of the southern in side district left Monday afternoon carrying with them much enthusi- asm for carrying out their full share of the plans of organization out lined.

 U. S. Commissioner DeArmond compared this convention with one held there recently when only elev- en men turned Sitka inside out and upside down with the Marshal run ing half a dozen different directions at the same time.
 Louis Shotridge, ethnolig;ts con nected with the University of Penn sylvania, chairman of the local com mittee made possible much of the success of the convention. Without his executive ability much time would have been lost in reception ar rangements
 Music there was plenty with the Klawock Choir under direction of Chief Eagle Horse Metlakatla Pres byterian Choir under MT.

Have Two Weeks Supplies
"The crew has two. weeks supplies
Of food, weapons and ammunition.
Chukhnovsky urged the krassin to
push to the rescue of the three un-
fortunates who apparently were in
a desperate position" Chukhnovsky
reported that the under carriage of
his machine had been damaged in
landing and asked that assistance be
sent to him to repair this.
The three rescued men started
from the spot where the Italia had
crashed on the ice five days after
the disaster in a desperate attempt
to reach land.
Headed For Coast
Leaving group of six men COM
manded by General Umberto Mobile
behind, the trio headed for the coast
Of North East Land on Nay 30. They
carried provisions for forty days.
AS time passed and repeated at
tempts by flyers and other search
ing parties to find them failed, the
fear prevailed that they had per-
ishcd.
Yesterday word came from the
Russian lee Breaker krassin that
the soviet flyer Chukhnovsky had
located the men on the ice far to the
north Of where they had been sought.
There has been some doubt as to
the identity Of the three men sighted
by Chukhnovsky, but this was
cleared up by .oday's dispatch speci-
fically identifying the group as that
Of DR.. Malmgren. Chukhnovsky in
his reports had expressed the belief
that it was the Malmgren group, but
there was some feeling that the men
might have been the Alpine Chas-
seur Captain Sora and two Norwe-
gian guides who have been missing
on the ice field for weeks.
Snatched From Death
Captains Mariana and Zappi are
now aboard the Krassin. Both were
in an exhausted, half-frozen and
starved state when they were
snatched from what had seemed GER
tain death for many weeks. Captain
Mariano's leg was frozen, but his
companion was quite we'll.
DR.. Malmgren died month ago,
but his two companions. faithful to
their dead comrade, had kept his
body and this was taken aboard the
Krassin today.
The Russian icebreaker, as soon
as it had rescued the two Italians,
again turned its prov toward the
east and began its weary round of
battering the ice floes in an effort
to reach the group Of men under
Lieutenant Viglieri still marooned
near Foyn Island off North East
Land.
Gave Up Hope
Captains Mariana and Zappi said
that they had given up hope in what
seemed to them their last agonizinq
moment in the icebound world that
had hemmed them in for 80 many
days when suddenly the soviet air
plane with Pilot Chukhnovsky ap.
peared out Of the low-hung mist.
Startled by the roar Of the motors
coming out of the vast silence, the
two men said that they leaped -
their feet and waved frantically to
the flyer who circled above them. A
new hope for life surged through
them and from that moment until
the Krassin succeeded in making its
way close to them through 20 miles
