A CURIOUS ARGUMENT

 Howard is wet and says he differs with MT. Hoover who has said that he opposed to the repeal of

THE ACQUISITION OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU
 OF FISHERIES

OF FISHERIES
 The "Satrapy" of Alaska.
 The treatment accorded Alaska by the Washing ton government compares with the government of ancient Persia-not bit better.
 Jack Branwick is a real Alaskan and lives in Pet ersburg. He is pioneer of the best type. He pro- wealth by fishing. And thus begins the story. He was driven out of Red Bay North Prince of Wales Island) by the closing orders of the Bureau the t~ap3 just outside.
 The next year, BranWick went to Shipley Bay to catch his two thousand red salmon, and then that bay closed by the Bureau of Fisheries. The next year (Branwick sick and could do nothing else but fish with his small ginet) he went to Gut Bay Baranoff Island The Burelu of Fish cries must have found out where the poor sick had taken refuge for this bay then closed. Branwick oh how well he knew the country the next year fled to Red Fish Bay, about hundred miles distant-that bay closed at the end of that year.
 Was there way to escape the fish conserving Bureau" that closes the little local fisherman who catches two thousand but permits the big traps to catch their hundred thousand? Branwick trav- eled and travelled in his small boat pressed by his sickness. He stopped at Tagahana Bay outside of Yucob Island, and then that bay closed.
 Branwick is sick and tired. The Bureau of Fish Bureaucracy has and also wonders why population is DECREASING.

LABOR
IN q. o. FORBES

DETROIT. Dec. industrial
Detroit is becoming conscious Of
its responsibility for the steady
employment Of workers. The au-
tomobile industry used to have
extreme peaks and valleys. It
could not get enough labor at
the height of its busy season;
then it laid men off by the thou.
sand, without exhibiting any con-
cern whatsoever as to the fate of
those thrown idle.
A more humane attitude toward
workers Is developing.
The Graham Brothers, Joseph,
Ray and Robert, formerly influ-
entially identified with Dodge and
who last year took over the Paige
concern and organized Graham
Paige, have perhaps the most adj
yanced labor ideas of any concern
in the whole industry. They began
their business life in a small way
and in a small town where the
employer felt a personal interest
in his workers and felt obligated
TO take care Of them during spells
OF depression. When work or
plants had to be shut down the
financial necessities Of the men
were taken care Of until money
making was resumed.
The Graham Brothers have not
dismissed one man from their
large factory here since the day
they took charge.
No fewer than so per cent of
the men who worked with the
Graham Brothers when they were
in the glass-making business
Joined them when they entered
the automobile field. Even now
they advance market money" to
men if laid off temporarily
through operations or other cause.
and so loyal has been the atti-
tude of the men that not one
cent has been lost.
I'VE could not dream OF going
out and bringing in two or three
thousand men to work for US sew
eral months and then tell them
you're through, they explained.
I'VE get more fun out Of the
relationship we have had with
the boys in our organization
than We would be in trying to
make money for ourselves in a
way that would not let US treat
the men right.

A. c. Bennett, of the Packard
Motor Company. has just ap-
peared before the Senate Com
mfttee on Education and Labor In
its investigation OF ways and
means to avoid or modify future
unemployment, and that he told
the committee that Packard had,
met the seasonal unemployment
problem by thoroughly analyzing
the market and then drawing up
a monthly production schedule.
In this way, he declared, the
number of employees had been
stabilized.
Senator Couzens, chairman Of
the committee. emphasized the i'm
portance of arousing the conscious
ness Of employers regarding their
responsibility for taking steps look
ing toward the solution of the
unemployment problem.

DR.. David Friday. of the National
Bureau of Economic Research, sees
the likelihood of easier money rates
In the near future, he told mem
bers of the Bond Club of Washing
ton at its second forum luncheon
meeting at the Carleton Hotel yes
terday.
AFTER the turn of the year the re-
turn flow of currency will reduce
the rediscounts to less than $1,000
600, 900 again. and there is evidence
that borrowings of that amount at
the reserve banks will be regarded
az normal until we get a return
flow OF gold, the economist said
This will give US some easing of
money"

the Minnesota Experiment Station
has been assigned the task of
studying the practicability of the
combine harvester-thresher under
Minnesota conditions.
Just what effect the placing of
horizontal ventilators in bins has
in eliminating relatively high per-
centage of moisture in the grain
will be studied. The place of the
windrower in the combine method
of harvesting is another question
before the committeeman. The
windrower is a recent development
with most manufacturers. By it's
use the grain can be dried out
somewhat before it is threshed by
the combine. "A study will also be
made of the effect of green weed
seeds on stored grain.
Because the method is new in
our conditions and is a decided de-
parture from the regular. binder
method of harvesting, these new
problems present themselves. Prob
ably the most important is the
condition of the grain for storage
after it has been threshed. If the
grain is cut too early or if it con-
tains an excessive amount of
green weeds or weed seeds it is
likely to have a relatively high per-
centage of moisture at threshing
time, which adds to the difficulty
of keeping it in storage.
The combine harvester-thresher
is new in Minnesota. 1t was first
used in 1927 when II Minnesota
farmers purchased machines. More
farmers have purchased them to
use in the 1928 harvest. The ma
chimes used in this state are most
ly of the small size, averaging
about a 1O-foot cut. They run as
high as IL and Is foot cut. They
are a great labor saver and also
reduce costs of harvesting where
the crop acreage is large enough
to warrant the investment. 1t has
been found that harvesting losses
by this system are usually much
less than by the old binder and
thresher method.
