news gathering and distributing
agency of the world, completed in
stallation of the new automatic
printers throughout its service some
time ago.
The OREGON state circuits, serving
dozen newspapers in this state, are
the last circuits in the A. P. service
to fall before the conquest Of
machine over man in industry.
Only a skeleton of the former Morse
personnel remains as maintenance
force for the network of high speed
machines operating on all trunk"
or main line circuits between the
larger cities. The trunk lines for
merly consisted of two or three
Morse wires devoting the entire day
to the transmission of news matter.
These were at times augmented by
a third for the handling of market
forms and feature stories. The new
high speed machines are capable of
handling rs or 80 per cent of this
traffic, leaving the operators of the
Morse parallel wires free for main
tenance work from three to four
hours daily. During the remaining
hours of the day the Morse circuits
transmit news and function as a
medium of correction when an i'm
properly working machine garbles a
story. Once every two weeks, also
each "Mork" (name derived from
inventor Morkrum) must be taken
apart, thoroughly cleaned and any
necessary parts replaced.

The types used on the state or
single circuits, however, are Of much
slower speed than those used on the
main lines. Once installed they are
more economical in operation for
wherever machine placed on these
wires it means the release of more
or less highly paid operator.
The process of printerization of
the A. P. began a year ago. While
in other fields of communication
similar types of machines have been
in use for many years, their gen
eral use by news associations began
a comparatively short time ago.
United News, a branch of the
Scripps-Howard services, was the
first to use them. Slightly less than
five years AFRO International News
Service and United Press fell into
line, replacing only a part of their
Morse personnel. These three SER
vices, working under a union agree
ment since the great communication
strike of 1907, during which the A.
P. completely defeated the operators
union, naturally welcomed the ar
rival of the Morkrum invention as a
means of reducing overhead. Prac-
tically no organizational work has
been done by the union since this
strike, union officials being content
to draw their fat salaries and make
efforts to renew existing press con-
tracts when the occasion arose.
Consequently the advent of the
printers finds the A. P. operators
with absolutely no means of protec-
ton. Wherever circuit is printer

empty expressions of appreciation of
service and ironically advised that
they are now free to seek employ

A. +. OF |. FAILS
TO HELP STEEL
Men IN STRIKE
Tool of Green Snoops
Around; No Aid
(By a Worker Correspondent

BY q WORKER C0TrespondentI
CANTON, O., (By MaiD.-T. j
Conboy, personal representative Of
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor
spent a few days in Canton last
week, to Investigate" the strike Of
the grinders and clippers.
Mr.. Green has affiliated to his A
F. of L. an organization called the
Amalgamated Association of Iron
Steel and Tin Workers, the so-called
Steel Workers Union. In Canton
there is local of this association
with six or seven members lingering
on, doing no work, hardly meeting
However, one would expect that
when a steel strike is on in the city
and has been in progress for seven
weeks, the organization would wake
up and help in the organization of
the steel strikers, who came out to
get organized in order to fight for
better conditions.
A. L. OF l.. Does NOtnlng.
Not the A. A. 1t is not built for
that purpose. The A. A. has 5000
members who pay nice fat salary
to Mike Tighe, who does not want
more than that number in his union
Even if there are 100000 workers in
the steel industry, that is no worry
of his. If steel workers go out on
strike, that is their business, and
Tighe refuses to pay any attention
to it.
Butu somebody must help strug-
Cling workers, and who should they
be but the communists. The Com
munists have helped the strikers
their papers have been the only ones
to carry news about the strike, the
local press completely ignoring it.
The Communists have helped in
every way and this undoubtedly
came to the ears of William Green,
who dispatched his personal stool
pigeon, Mr.. Conboy, to Canton, to
warn the labor movement about the
Communists.
What did the local labor move
ment do for the strikers? There is
central labor body; did it try to
help the strikers in any way? Did
it offer them any organizers or ma
terial aid? 1t did not.
1t might be stated, however, that
the strikers would have nothing to
do with the A. F. of L. A speaker
who first went to Canton spoke
about the A. F. of l.. and not in toe
optimistic terms. The workers
thought he represented the A. F. OF
L. and wanted to throw him out OF
the hall. This is the attitude of these
militant workers, for they know the
A. F. of L. officialdom and will have
nothing to do with them.
Strikers Welcome Aid.
SO Mr.. Conboy snooped round
Canton, and told the central labor
body that there are Communists in

very rare instance where Morse
operators are allowed to become
operators of the machines they have
been forced to accept the standard
of wages which are forced upon the
new machine operators as result of
their lack of organization.
Only few circuits of the Scripps-

the close of the present year will
see the complete abolition of this
system.

O'MALLEY WARNS INDUSTRY

Henry O'Malley, United States Commissioner of Fisheries, now in Ketchikan has issued second warning to the Canning Industry. that unless they are less hoggish in their efforts to can every last sal- mcn. The regulations now in force contemplated a 30 per cent reduc- ton whereas in fact it has reduced production only 10 per cent. His statement to the press was that unless the packers complied with hoth the letter and spirit of present regulations he would be compelled to promulgate more drastic regula- tions.
The Alaska fisherman., 1928-08-15

erly as many fish were taken from the 6OO-mile stretch as are now pro- cured from the entire area of 1,SOO miles
 The banks on the eastern side Of the Gulf of Alaska, which yield spawning fish, were first exploited in 1913. In 1926 the larger boats made by far the greater part of their catches in the vicinity of Kodiak Is, land, in the western side of the Gulf of Alaska, about 1,2OO miles beyond the original fishery.
 The catch on the older grounds south of Cape Ommaney has decreas~ ed from total in excess of 5O,0C0. 900 pounds in 1910 to about 2O,OO0, 900 in 1926, and much greater effor' was exerted in making the catch in the latter year.
 It is evident that the present level of production has been maintained by extending fishing operations 70 new areas, as the catch on the old ing the intensity of the fishing effort.
 The amount of gear now used On the older banks is about two and one-ha1f times the quantity formerly used, yet the present catch is only about 40 per cent of the former yield from these grounds. Under the stress of this great intensifcation of fishing effort the abundance of fish on the older banks has fallen enormously. to 16 per cent of the abundance ill 1906.
 More Gear Required For
 Same Fish Catch
 where Tn 19Ob the eaten per Set of a unit of fishing gear was nearly 300 pounds, in 1926 it was below 5 pounds. Expressed in another way it required six units of gear to catch as many fish as one unit caught in 1906. The decline has gone On at en even rate and shows no tendency to slacken.
 Accompanying this fall in abund- ance there has been a decrease in
