depth of the wilderness-the glorious music of the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the personal
dictatorship of DR.. Frederick Stock is made avail
able each Sunday evening through the radio

pany Of Indiana
One of the chief qualifications the company
experiences in bringing this fine musical organza-
ton within radio reach of the people of the Middle
West is in the disclosure of one of the reasons why
Chicago has become great cultural center of the
world.
On Sunday Illness, distance, age are no
obstacles to music lovers. Propped up in bed

anyone anywhere may 'isten In" on programs
Of beautiful music composed by the immortal
musicians of all the ages es-played by the finest

toners and friends.
Today the radio is popular medium Of
entertainment. In sending you these concerts by
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) is offering the best In
music as it offers the best in petroleum products.
No one is surprised today that the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) should help to support
one of the finest musical organizations known,
broadcasting its concerts for everyone with radio
to hear.
The best is expected of this Company Years
of experience have proved to the people of the
Middle West that the products of the Standard

The Alaska fisherman., 1929-10-15

k1any times the passenger steamers between Alaska and Washington are compelled to wait for storms to abate before crossing. There could be no such thing as ferry service as proposed. A moments calcula- Jion will demonstrate that the additional discharge of halibut Ut Ketchikan which this propos- ed law seeks to compel would not be sufficient cargo for the char acter of vessel, to wit, ocean-go- ing steamers, which would have to be employed in any service between xetchikan and Prince Rupert.
 Before We can reasonably ex- Iect the expenditure of large sums of money in an enterprise we must be able to demonstrate to the investor the safety of his investment and reasonable pros Eects of profits on the invest nlent. Both elements are want ing in any transportation enter prise which would connect Ket- Cilikan with the fresh-fsh mar kets of the east.
 In the first place, nothing out ocean, going steamers could be employed in any service between i<etchikan and Prince Rupert due to the character of the water to be crossed. The service would have to be practically a daily service as delays would necessar- ily exclude the product from the fresh-f1sh markets of the east. ie the entire amount of halibut discharged at Prince Rupert were diverted to Ketchikan it would not warrant the tremendous ex- penditure necessary to install proper service. Every week there are days when only one or two roats come in to port bringing possibly 10000 pounds each. would it be practical to send large steamer to Prince Rupert with only 10000 pounds of fish? How could a transportation ser vice pay under such conditions?
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-10-15

.ble, and if the fish were shipped by this plan, the product would be much inferior to the product shipped according to present fla cintieS. It is common knowledge that every time fresh fish is handled, it's quality is reduced Under the proposed plan, fish would be handled two additional times. When the schooner ar rives at Ketchikan, the fish would be removed from the 1ls-l house into the hold of a refrig- erated ferry steamer during which operation the fish would ne exposed to warm air. The steamer would then leave for Prince Rupert where the fish would again be exposed to warm sir during the operation of transferring the boxes from ship to refrigerated car. The fish could not stand the increased handling. Under the present system the vessels must remain on the banks as long as possible in order to catch a sufficient quantity of fish to make opera tions pay. If their catches were subjected to the additional han ding, the boats could not remain on the banks as long as they do tt present. In order to make up for the deterioration through increased handling they would have to bring the fish to port in fresher condition Any reduc- tion in the number Of days spent on the banks would decrease their profit to such an extent that it would be unprofitable for them to operate.
 The proposed scheme, if car ried through. would be ruinous 70 the fleet of vessels ooerating out of Seattle. At present there are about 125 small vessels oDer- ating out of this port. Because of the scarcity of fish on the close-in banks, their catches arc small; and in order to make op- eratiOns pay, their. fish must re-

objections to Ketchikan as a fresh-fish market are geOgraph- ical and we believe them insur- nlountable.
 Let us assume, for the mo- lnent, that a ferry service such as has been suggested is feas- ible. Who is going to bear the burden of the cost? Certainly no one thinks that fish can be marketed as cheaply from Ket- chikan as from Prince Rupert. The consumer is paying a maxi mum price for halibut now and can not be expected to pay more. The housewife, rather than pay the added price, would turn to some other food. The merchan- Glser would not assume the cost and, as result, the producer bears the burden. He pays for the elaborate and expensive transportation system by receiv- ing reduced prices.
 Continuing our supposition that the ferry system scheme is ossible: Centralizing the sale of fish in one port would destroy the present competitive market for halibut. Buyers would be in a position to dictate prices and the halibut fishermen would he compelled to accept whatever figure was offered. In rare cases a boatowner could take his fish to Seattle, but the distanco p~ac- tically removes this possibility. 1t requires an average halibut vessel little less than four days to traverse the $50 mile between the two ports. The fish would arrive in much poorer conr7ition end, as a result, the fisherman would receive less for it. We have experienced the results of cen tralizing the sale of fish in one port when Seattle, in 1915. re- ceived the bulk of halibut caught. The dealers, realizing the hold they had upon the situ- Gtion, forced the price down for many months until finally stop ned by the United States district

WHY the Banquet?

Inasmucb as the general public was in
vited to the banquet given to Rev. Z. 5. Shu-
maker. head Of the Anti-Saloon League, on his
release from the penal farm, it may be proper
10 ask for the reason for this demonstration.
The question arises because of the speeches
delivered by the distinguished guests.
it might have been expected that some one
would declare that the dry leader had been a
victim of vicious enemies, that he was a martyr
TO his principles, that a political court had
railroaded him to prison.
No one made any such suggestion. There
was no reference to the cause of his s%ojourn.
There was no protest that he had served IN
justly.
Neither the guest Of the evening nor the
speakers suggested any real reason, except the
very human one Of happinss that any one who
has been unfortunate is again out in the sun
shine.
That leads to the conclusion that those vino
arranged the banquet do not have the idea
that there was any real issue at stake unless
it be the tacIt acceptance OF the fact that one
who rises to power and influence in politics
shall be above the law.
There was an issue, but of course it was not
made. There was a q%uetsion of how far courts
may 90 to stop criticism of their decisions.
There is the deep question of freedom of
speech. But those who held this demonstra-
ton did not talk about such things as liberty
Of speech They were, apparently, only glad
that their leader had served his sentence and
was free.
Perhaps the only excuse for the BANQUET
can be found in the presence of Senator
Arthur Robinson. That was most fitting. It
was Robinson who induced Watson to see what
could be done "to keep Shumaker out of Jail"
when politicians feared the wrath of the drv
leader and tried to sneak into the back door
of the supreme court.
The one real reason for the occasion, per
haps, IS IN the fact that it permitted Robinson
to rejoice in the fact that he had escaped a
penalty.

Southern Labor Revolts

The labor explosion in the southern textile centers
was bound to come. The Tennessee and North Caro-
lima strikes are part of a growing revolt Of the over
worked and u~nderpaid. That revolt can not be
stopped by all the state militlas and strike breakers in
the south-until justice is done.
Working conditions In some of the southern mills
are close to industrial slavery. In some places women
and children work all night, work seventy hours a
week, work without accident or health safeguards,
work often for wages as low as SIS or So a week.
There can be only one result. The experience of the
rest Of the United States and of all other industrial
countries proves that this sort of thing can not be
maintained long. The workers will break this system.
The only question is whether the reform is to come
peacefully or through suicidal strife, in which capital,
labor and the communities suffer.
Some of the southern textile employers and state
authorities are relying on force and guns. The I'M
necessary and provocative use of troops in Tennessee
and North Carolina is in line with the easy but dan
gerous methods used increasingly in other southern
states during the last three years.
The lawIessness of gangs of business men in kid
naping and a~ssaulting laW-abiding labor organizers,
unless stopped, is precisely the sort Of terrorism which
will drive peaceful workers to violence.
Those workers are of the oldest American stock,
conservative and suspicious of so-called radical and
foreign doctrines. They haze opposed unions. But
now, after long exploitation, they are turning as a
last hope to organization. Once aroused, the stub
bornnesS and hatred which they will put into the in
dustrial struggle will make the northern textile strikes
of foreign immigrants look like a picnic,
There is another issue besides justice to the work
ers. 1t is significant that these southern industrial
lists defy modern conservative business principles. AS
President Hoover has emphasized, American pros
perity today is grounded on the principle of high
wages. Those southern mill owners who insist on
paying starvation wages are not only victimizing their
workers. They are also guilty of unfair competition
with decent industries and are s~abotaging general
American prosperity.
The south is not chiefly to blame. Most of the
textile owners there are northerners or foreigners.
Other offenders are German companies which have
come in to escape the tariff wall.
A great future awaits the south. But neither
southern labor nor southern capital can profit in the
long run by permitting outsiders to fasten upon the
south an archaic and inefficient system of industrial
peonage which has failed elsewhere.
The road of decency and the road to prosperity is
the same road.

that he had come to the Every singular opinion that
the course of the wind is from the northeast to south
west, yet the course of the storm is from southwest
to northeast"
In another letter, dated at Philadelphia, Feb. Is,
1850, Franklin wrote:
You desire to know my thoughts about the north
west storms beginning to leeward. Some years since
there was an eclipse on the moon at 8 o'clock in the
evening, which I intended to observe, but before night
a storm blew up at northeast and continued violent all
night and all the next day: the sky thick clouded,
dark and rainy so that neither moon nor stars could
be seen.
THE storm did a great deal of damage all along
the coast, for we had accounts of it in the newspapers
from Boston, Newport, New York, Maryland and Vir-
glnla; but what surprised me was to find in the Bos-
ton papers, an account of an observation of that

Boston than with us and consequently prevented such
observation.

me that the eclipse was over there an hour before
the storm began"
Meteorologists today have a pretty clear under
standing OF the general nature and movement of both
low and high pressure areas. But all the details are
by no means completely understood.
Highs and flows" as they are usually called for
the sake Of brevity, drift across the American CONT
nent from the west toward the east at the average
rate OF about 800 miles per day.
The speed is greater in winter than in summer. the
average speed in winter being about thirty-seven
miles an hour. while the average speed in summer is
about twenty-five miles an hour.
Highs and lows alternately drift across the CONT
nent in periods of about three days each.
These movements are of great interest to us, for
not only do they cause winds and storms, but they
also play, as we shall see. an important part in
causing temperature changes.
