More than 1900 signatures were signed to a petition for presenta tion to Secretary of Agriculture W Jardine, by the people of the West wa1d section, asking for a bounty on brown bear and changes in the game laws. The petition stated that the bear are raising havoc with the sheep and cattle and are a menace tC this infant industry It is saiG that more than 500 sheep and 1O2 cattle have been killed by these bear
 Reports from Admiralty Island in this Division are to the effect that the brown bear are a menace to anyone venturing wee bit too far from the immediate vicinity Of the canneries Berry picking a.

 The report of the International Fisheries Commission, made public by the Department of State, follows in full text:
 The treaty between Canada and the United States for the preserva- tion of the halibut fishery of the nor thern Pacific Ocean including Bell ring Sea, was ratified on October 21, 1924 It is remarkable from tn, double standpoint that it is the firsi treaty entered into by Canada as a nation and that it is the first effec- tive one anywhere having for it's ob- ject the conservation of a threaten ed high seas fishery.
 It, therefore, serves as a preced ent for international cooperative con- tro1 of sea fisheries, where such is necessary. This forms an important additional reason why success should be achieved under it.
 The treaty provides an entire ces. sation of halibut fishing for three months each year. This was regard, ed, at the time it was entered into, as an essential minimum of protection.
 It also provided for the appoint ment of an International Fisheries Commission, the duties of which are to make recommendations regarding the need for modification of the clos s9 season. to make a thorough investi- gation into the life history of the Pacific halibut, and to make recom- menda ations as to the regulation Oi the fishery preservation and develop ment.
 The specific provisions of the con- vention dealing with these phases follow:
 "The nationals -and inhabitants and the fishing vessels and boats ol the Dominion of Canada and of the United States, respectively, are here by prohibited from fishing for hali but (Hippoglossus) both in the ter ritorial waters and in the high seas off the western coast of the Domin-

Canneryman Charged
 With ASsualt

Jim Koosk and crew of fishermen were arrested, taken to Juneau or charge of illegal fishing. They were fined $500 for their alleged vio- lation
 The Commissioner did not assess fine against the seine but advised Kooshk to hold same until the can nery manager paid half of the fine. Mr. Manager refused to pungle up his Gnare so Jim held the net. Up on appealing to the prime minister O. X. White-Doctor CasWell at Ket chikan, so the manager states, he was advised to demand the net and if return was refused, to use force to get it
 During the past week the manager of the Pillar Bay cannery boarded Kcoshk's vessel and started to take the net. When the crew remonstrat- ed and demanded that he pay hls share of the fine, MT. Manager got real peeved and started rough house. He tackled a spritely young fellow as easy pickings and met a Tartar. After mopping up the deck with the manager, fore and aft, the youth looked for other pugilistically ircJired gentlemen and found the skipper of the tender, deck wop engineer and cook coming with bare fists and he met them but with re Inducements from his own crew. Even Jim Kooshk, old a man as he was enjoyed the Irish tango on tue deck of the Woodrow and partici- pated. The manager having had a plenty of the 'bad Injun hOmbres Y returned, after severe drubbing, to his own craft and got him real blunderbuss which he brought or deck and pointing it at the fishing crew demanded the return of his net or he would blow them to the land of their forefathers-happy hunting grounds.
 The crew left for Juneau to lodge complaint against Mir. Manager and he no doubt will learn something about assault with dangerous weap- ons.

Last Friday night James K. Grant of Rake was last seen by his friends
 Not showing up in his rooms nor taking any clothing other than what he was wearing and not notifying anyone of his intention to leave town, they became much alarmed when by Monday morning he was not found. Various connections contain ing intoxicants were blamed and that he was probably drowned and it wae even rumored that he was done g. way with. E
 Cablegrams were sent hither anG yun, and the aid of the U. S. Commis sioner asked. However Tuesday word was received here that James boarded a craft bound for Pybus Bay whither he went to collect his check and then returned to Rake w'ere he was unconcernedly walk ing the streets of that town while his friends were tearing up heaven and earthNin a search for him. His reason for not notifying his friends of his intention to leave was little tcc much "shine" so that he was ur- able to tell anyone of his intention.

 "In Prince William Sound herring were taken in large quantities dur ing the first few years of the indus try, but only small quantities have been taken during the past four years IN SPITE OF INCREASED EFFORT AND MORE FAMILIARI- TY WITH THE FISHING GROUNDS.
 'In southeastern Alaska some evil dence of depletion rather than the effect of natural fluctuations is found in the shift of the fishing grounds. Where each area is oc- cupied by a local stock of herring, it io of great significance that the fishery should be continually forced to seek hitherto unfshed areas at greater distances from the plants. THERE IS A RAPIDLY AP- PROACHING LIMIT TO THE MUM BIER OF NEW FISHING GROUNDS, AND WE HAVE NO RECORDS OF ANY EXTENSIVE RETURN OF HERRING TO GROUNDS ONCE ABANDONED"

A little more investigation and report as to the true condition oi this fisheries and The Alaskan prOphysies that the investigator will be pulled off his investigations for fear that his reports will hurt the industry.
 "A number of questions have Ia ely been raised by Alaska herring packers concerning the possible de- plction of the fisheries and other facts in the biology of herring" We call attention to the writer of the article that Hon. Charles Ferguson, Hon. William l.. Paul of the Alaska lesislature and fishermen along with the Wrangell and Petersburg Char1- bers of Commerce have been raising considerable number of questions relative to the depletion but the ''in yestigations'' were being held to show up Alaskans as being mere bags of wind and without knowledge of their fisheries.

The halibut fisheries on the Paci- fc Coast are in very serious con- dition," according to the Interna- tional Fisheries Commission, and ad- dltional restrictions must be taken if the halibut are to be saved.
 This was stated by the Commis- sion in a report made public by the Department of State on June T.
 The Commission was established after the signing of the United States Canadian halibut treaty OC- tober 21, 1924, at which time it was also decided to prohibit halibut fish ing on the Pacific Coast during three winter months, November 15 to Feb ruary 15, each year,
 More Restriction Sought
 This restriction, however, tn Commission finds is not sufficient, since the winter season was always an expensive one in which to fish. ard during the more profitable sum- mer months. As a result the num- Der of halibut caught has increased rather than decreased.
 Due to the fact that halibut re- Quire for 12 to 25 years to ma ture, the Commission finds that the species is in serious danger unless further restrictions are imposed. Accordingly it recommends that two areas known as nurseries near the Timbered Islands, Alaska and Massett, British Columbia. should be closed to fishing
 The Commission also recommends that certain areas be established within which the total catch may be reduced by a predetermined figure. Thls is aimed to prevent the redoubi ing of activity on the part of fish ermen and the using of a larger amount of gear.
 It is also recommended that cer- tain destructive types of gear be prohibited, that the present closed season be extended by an additional two weeks at it's beginning. and that all vessels fishing in treaty waters

down respect for military authority in the country
and making Roadway with their program of boring
from within 1t was through this means that the
overthrow of the monarchial government of Rus
STA finally accomplished.
Gwen though the danger in the United States may
be exceedingly slight at this time unless it is stamped
out before making further Roadway, who may say
how long it will before successful majority has
been obtained within the ranks of armed forces
and that there may follow duplication of the Rus
sian Revolution when America will rumb to the
barbara and heather forces of Communism"
The authoritative character of this voice
OF rcaction-it carries in the same issue an
article by an assistant secretary Of war and
another by an assistant chief of ordnance of
the u. S. department of war-gives some
weight to it's acknowledgment that the Com
munist revolutionary work among the mill
tary forces has greatly increased.
Thanks.
Now as never before must the revolu-
tionary Communist message be carried
through at any cost to the workers and
farmers who are to be cannon-fodder of the
coming imperialist war. Now as never be-
fore the work among the young men of our
class who are attracted to vacation mill
tary training camps must be multiplied to
huge scale. For the United States CAPT.
talist class, through it's government at Wash
ington, is now actually in the midst of bloody
imperialist war in Latin-America and prepar-
ing at break-neck speed for war with Great
Britain-world-war.
But pacifism has no part in the Commu-
mist work!
Pacifism is the poison of the capitalist
class with which to facilitate their imperialist
war-making.
Not pacifism, but the defeat of the "our
own imperialist government, not
pacifism but the defense of the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics and of the colonial
revolts against imperialist, not pacifism but
the transformation of the imperialist war
into civil war for the overthrow of the die
tatorship of the criminal, imperiaist capt.
talist class and the establishment of the die
tatorship of the working class-this is what
the Communists work for.
The armed masses upon which the Wall
Street government depends for the bloody
conquest of the world will one day listen to
the voice of their own class cause, and these
same masses will bring about the downfall
of their own parasite ruling class.

In Kansas there is different pic

must find himself in nowl Howai
the fighter, expelled for his oppc
sition to Lewis and the Industrii
Court (no strike) law of ex-Gove,
nor Allen, bounded all over the coun
try by Lewis and his agents, denied
the right to enter Canada while on
tour with the writer, framed up
by character assassins working for
Lewis, and now, when all the fight
ers have been kicked out of the
U. M. w. A. he has been rein
stated.
That he has been reinstated be-
cause of a change of heart by Lewis,
not even Howat himself can believe,
but there must be a motive for the
act and I am Of the opinion that
Howat cannot see that far ahead.
He was nominated by majority
of the local unions in Kansas, but
the same has been true in other
elections ever since he was expelled
and each time he was ruled off the
ballot.
This time however, he has been
visited by John P. White, ex-na-
