house of their own. Mrs. woodrow Will
son is the honorary president of the

1T is bit amusing to hear Bascom

oring for the credit as to who threw
the South to Hoover in the recent cleo

1t. Few In the South voted for Hoover;
they just voted against Smith. SO

They don't have 10 buy their completion by the box in the drug store. They are really naturally beautiful and that is what counts on any stage They have poise, personally and are very ltempo"mental and naturally fitted for what they have already shown in their ability to act and dance and take any part in a show given IHv the Valdez Dramatic Club Lets hope they will keep up this pep and social gathering. We need all the clean enjoyment we can get. It ell helrs to build a town
 I have seen every kind of show from 3uto show, horse show, dog show end baby show but I think the reXt show Alaska needs to make the Outside world sit up and take notice should be an Alaskan Beauty Show to show that it is not all EslSlmoes and Indians living in this far North and by having that would he another burst for Alaska but l will leave this to the people of Valdez and the Dramatic Club. Let us hope this club will endeavor to keep up this pleasant and social affair I am sure the people of Valdez appreciate it and will stand by them. I hereby thank the lad les anI gentlemen of the Valdez Dramatic Club for what they have lone n the past and may they have greater success in this new year of 1929.

JUST BOLONEY

"IF' Henry O'Malley, commits sioner of fisheries carries plans he is believed to be contemplat- ing in regard to traps, this and other canneries in the vicinity are going to depend more and more on seine fish to get their (packs up)."
 Henry O'Malley declared re- gently in Juneau that he was satisfied with the fisheries situ- ation and contemplated no se- rious changes next year. Which means that any alleged contem- plated or believed to be contem- plated plans by Lord "CriscO", is nothing but the vapid imagina- tions of one of those scientific fishermen who think the bunt of a net is a banner.

A BRAVE WOMAN

She was not a big woman, but she was a real AlaSkan-With a bit of iron that her men folk are Wofully short of. Trolling off shore a little ways, she was pull ing in the salmon right and left for they were feeding. A big herring fisherman lay near by by watching her. Other schools of herring could be gotten, but it was salmon they wanted -ev- en if they had to take it from a woman. They made their set around her so when the purse was being completed, she pulled up her line, went to the corkline of the fisherman and with one slash of her butcherknife she cut the line. She went along the corkline and did the same thing in other places. When the lines are stretched tight, a break in the cork line means a rip from salvage thread to salvage thread. The brave imported herring fishermen who would make a bit of money by depriving a woman of her opportunity to make a bit herself, had to pull up their busted net and go in for repairs. Alaska needs more women"

ALASKANS FOOT THE BILL

As We sat cogitating on Who foots the bill of economic losses in Alaska, because of the misrule and abuse of power in the ad- miniStration of our fisheries, we at first said "Alaskans
 But, shortly after publication of Facing Bankruptcy" in The ALASKA FISHERMAN, we were told that business concerns in Ketchikan (The City That Cans The Most Salmon Tn The World) were forced to suspend business and close their doors. That this move was not voluntary but was forced by the Seattle wholesale houses.
 So not ONLY Alaska must stand the financial losses, but Seattle concerns also will learn that they also must stand some of the troubles and tribulations of bad debts, poor collections and lack of earning and spend ing power.
The Alaskan., 1929-08-30
FISH AND COAL INDUSTRIES

The fish industry of Alaska is not unlike the coal industry of the States. The Coal Barons selfishly and greedily look only for profit at any cost and the la Dor employed are mere serfs for the overlords.
 The fisherman of Alaska is on ly a poor slave given just enough earnings to starve along, being made to abide by the wishes and Whims of the fishery lords. And each year the fishermen, eSpe- cially the white fishermen, are becoming more servile and sub servient to the commands of the Fish Barons and their Federal hirelings in the Bureau of Fish cries. The Indian fisherman still owns his own soul; he alone of the laboring class is protest ing the elimination of all fisher man from that field.
The Alaskan., 1929-08-30
STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF
 THE LAW"

Henry O'Malley and his sub- lords, have intimidated resi- dent fishermen by declaring that they will make "a strict inter pretatiOn" and enforcement of the law. To befool the public they declare that they will make such interpretation regardless ot whom it may hit.
 A regulation promulgated this year was one which fOrebade a crooked lead for traps. Early in the season fishermen reported the P. A. F. trap at Point Col poys as having an IS" lead. Nc action taken by the bureau. But a couple of days before the sea- son closed, MT. O'Malley stated that the season is now so late that we won't do anything about it this year, but you will have to make a change next year."
 Had that been seine operat- or the bear would have been confscated forthwith.

SOUND ECONOMICS

It is a demonstrated fact that payment of high wages is sound economics. Henry Ford marks the greatest progress in his busi- ness of manufacturing automo- piles from the time he raised the standard of wages in his plants. Not only his own business pros pered thereby, but every other business in contact with his pay roll, direct and indirect, bene- fitted. Throughout the entire labor movement the benefits be- gan to be seen as this policy was carried out.

THE SEWERS"

"The value of a prosperous seining fleet to a community was demonstrated to local merchant
 Thursday when seiners for Pet ersburg Packing Co.,, and can- neries in the outlying districts were paid off. Some local stores did as much business in three hours after the seiners had re- Iceived their checks, as they or idinarily do in a week"
 What They Got
 If the local businessmen did
 as much business ill three hours
 a they ordinarily do in week,
 what would they have done had
 the fishermen really made wag-
 es this summer?
 One man told us he cleared ninety cents from fishing since
 the 5th of July; man with a family of four besides himself cleared $40. since the 5th of
 July. High boat at Rake earned about $500 gross since the first Iof July. Deducting summer ex- lpense of $100 for clothing and food, does not leave much for the winter. Taking a general average of the earnings of the men will not exceed $50.
 The earnings of the Peters burg Packing Company's fisher men went up as high as $500 and is exceptional throughout the entire Division.
 From the quoted section from the pen of a pro-trap man, the
 businessman and the writer Ot that article must admit that the ALASKAN and The ALASKA
 FISHERMAN are right in their position on the trap question; that the abolishment of the trap
 will be a benefit to the Terri tory because of the employment Iof more seiners, who by earning
 more, spend more in the Terri
 tory than the entire trap system
The Alaskan., 1929-08-30
POOREST PAID LABORER

"Seineirs for the local can nery earned $500 for six weeks work, these figures are approxi- mate"
 We can beat that statement ment by saying that the fisher linen of Petersburg earned ap- proximately $500 for 40 hours Iof labor. Approximately"
 The fisherman must go to the lcannery to get his boats and gear ready the last part of June. When he fishes he must figure in running time so that from the time the fisherman begins his summers operations he must figure on sixteen-hour day.
 That man who earned $40 this summer was paid off at-the rate of $110 a 16-hour day for the
 summer and the fellow who re-
 ceived the munifcent sum of 90 cents was paid off at the rate of two and half cents day and
 board. WAGEST Approximate!
 The poorest paid laborer in the
 Territory today is the fisher
 men. Were it not for the wo-
 men working in the canneries
 much of the money now being spent in Petersburg by fisher
 mem would never come here. It

WITHOUT THE LAW

The bureau which concerns itself with the care of Alaska fisheries is wonderful institu- tion-including it's bullheaded representative of the Canning Trust.
 While the governmental agen- cies under Col. Ohlson, manager of the Alaska Railroad, is trying to induce settlers to come to Alaska, the Bureau of Fisheries under Henry O'Malley is trying to drive out settlers.
 Labor, when it finds that it cannot earn sufficient to clothe itself, feed itself and get a little joy out of life, moves to other climes. Which is what is hap pening in Alaska
 Regulations the Cause
 O'Malley's regulations are the cause. No "shore- hooks" may be made by the seiner. No fish ing in virtually every bay where a seiner may operate. Length and size of gear cut down. Time for fishing limited.
 Traps may continue to run their leads back into the woods
The Alaskan., 1929-08-30
O'MALLEY CAN DO NOTHING


 When residents protest the destruction of the herring fish cries by herring seiners and the illegal fishing of commercial food salmon by these non resi- dent fishermen, he hides behind the statement that there is no law governing which will permit him to regulate that fishery.
 The fact remains that herring fishermen made as much if not more money from salmon caught in their nets than from herring.
The Alaskan., 1929-08-30

and hills so that not even a bull head or founder can get past it; they may fish "A hours every day, and in many cases, includ- ing Sunday. Certain bays closed to all commercial fishing, but traps permitted to operate inn mediately outside of those clos ed areas. Areas previously clos ed to commercial fishing are Op- ened up to allow traps to operate in those areas.
 Ninety per cent of all seine fish caught by residents are caught illegally and with the consent of the canner.

AMONG OUE NEEGlIBOES
 Put 1t up to tae People From the acattie Daily Tilncs

-----X-
 Congress after an unWarranted \ delay finally found the pressure .of public opinion So strong that Iit had to provide for reappor- { tionment of the. country into icongresSiOnal districts, 50 that, ! the people might De represented With some degree of fairness in .the principal law making body of the country.
 For twenty five. years nothing has been done by the LegIsIa- ture of the State of Washington toward reapportionlng the Iegis- lative districts, and if we know anything about the general dis position of the minority crowd which is in control nothing will be done for another twenty five years by the constitution as it. was first drawn.
 At this time, due to the shift of population since the last re- apprtionment, more than one half of this state is without fair representation in the Legislature and the the rest has twice the representation it ought to have. 1 There being no hope that the Legislature will ever act, The Republic suggests that the peo- pie of those counties which are being robbed of their rights of representation should get to- gether and agree on some kind of initiative measure and sub nit it to the popular vote in the due course of public undertak- ings.
 This is a matter that should be taken up without delay. Some little time should be taken to thresh out any points of differ ence that may arise. The main question is whether the great 
 majority of people of this state shall take away from 9 small minority 3 privilege which they have no right to enjoy but which they will not give up because the constitution which com imanmanded them, does not pro- vide 3 penalty of any kind for { failure to obey.
 This newspaper, speaking for a county which does not have Ione-half the representation in the state Legislature to which it is fairly entitled by reason of it's population, favors a general meeting at an early date of re- presentatives of that part of the states population which is get
 ting the worst of the set-up we now have. From The Yakima Republic.

CHANGE NEEDED IN ALAsKA

The situation in which Yaki- ma County, Washington finds itself as to fair representation, lis not unlike the proportional
 representation of the four Divi-
 sions of the Territory. A case in point is the "Lomen" Division
 of Cape Nome, having less than TOO qualified voters yet having the same legislative representa- ton as the First Division which has more than five times the vote and considerable more pop ulation. Yet in legislative mat ters the Nome Division can pre- vent beneficial legislation for the First Division. Nome has it's reindeer and knows no more. about fish and fish legislation than 3 dogfish knows about heaven. Still by virtue of their 4position inc representatives o
 the No-ne Div1sl6.n have beer
 instrumental in defea ing t'n
 wishes f the larger Division.
 A reapportionmcnt of the Ter ritory j necessary m or'er that
 ef ch Division may haze it's fair ur portionment of legislators.
