SALMON FISHERIES ON SOLID
 FOUNDATION.

With a salmon pack that will probably reach b3OOOOO cases before the season finally closes, in what was supposed to be off year. and an escapement to the spawning beds that is said to be ample, it may be taken for granted that the salmon canning industry in Alaska is in a sound position. There seems no longer danger that the supply may become exhausted There may come years when the run will be small There will probably come such years We have had them in the past and are likely to have them again. However, when that the end of the industry is The facts make it quite clear that there will again be cause for such fear.
 The conditions that exist make it reasonably plain that regulation has been good thing. The time had arrived for regulation and it is fortunate that it began when it did. Whether not there was need for such drastic restrictions have had there will be difference of opinion However, all will agree that the practical termination of cannery expansion and the abolishment of fishing in streams and their mouths have had a salutary effect The fact that uncertainty and fear have been succeeded by a fine of security is compensation for lot of annoyance over the en- forcment of drastic regulations. We believe that there is none in Alaska who would have the situa- ton back again where it before Commits sioner OMalley took charge of things and there few indeed who do not believe Mir OMalley is the right man in the right place.

The Father of the House.
Manchester Guardian.)

It was Victor Hugo who wrote "LArt d'etre Grand-pere," a book with a happy title which is equivalent to book by itself. MT. T. P. O'Connor, to whom the deeds presented the other day of a trust fund which his friends had organized to ensure the comfort of his remaining years, might fittingly write companion volume, "The Art of Being the Father'-of the House of Commons. The position is one which entails single but onerous qualification Its holders must have sat continuously
 in the House of Commons for good many years, more years, in fact, than any other member. It is conceivable but improbable that could retain the confidence of constituency, a series of stituencies, for such length of time-in Mir OCon- nors case it is one year short of half century without possession at least likeabe qualities It is distinctive characteristics of his own His char acter and his political opinions compelled him to be aggressive in his earlier days in Parliament, but time has mellowed MT. O'Connor, always very human type of politician and time has re- moved the causes of his earlier dsconents. He en- tered Parliament virtually a rebel against Eng lands rule of his country He has lived to see his country entirely free from England's rule save for one comparatively small of it, the ulti- mate reunion of which with the rest of the coun- try is as certain as anything in this life be All parties in Parliament, therefore, now regard MT. OConnor with no other feelings than affection and he, an enthusiast of Parliamentary institu- tions, reciprocates that affection. It is a happy father of whom such words be written

Making Good.
(Anchorage Times.)


 United States Attorney Hart whose nomination the Senate failed to confirm earlier in the year because of opposition which developed at Wash ington and who later given special appoint ment by the District Judge at Nome in order that the Government might be represented at the regular term of court now in session, appears to merit the confidence which the President placed in him when his name was placed in nomination. He is making good.
 It will be recalled by readers of The Times that Hart was called to Nome from Juneau where he was engaged in the practice of law When his special appointment made the regular term of the Seward Peninsula Court was about to convene and in order to reach Nome in time it was neces- sary for Hart to hasten to Fairbanks by steamer and train and fly from there to his destination There was little time for preparation of pending cases and when the major court action was called. the trial Of murder case, the youthful United States Attorney found arrayed against him three veterans Of the Seward Peninsula Bar Ira n Orton, o. D. Cochran and Hugh ONeill
 The Times is not familiar with the details of the case but the fact that Hart was able to ob tain conviction in a first degree murder action. With such legal talent opposing him. would seem to indicate that he possesses considerable abiIitv as prosecutor as well an enviable reputation as citizen in his home town of Juneau. perhans will not be easy for his opponents to nrevent ms confirmation when his name is again sent to the Senate for consideration

FURTHER DECREASE IN NUMBER OF
 NEWSPAPERS.

The reduction of newspapers in the country continues This is the result of frequent consoli- dations and the rarity of new publications. It is seldom, indeed that hears of the establish ment of a daily newspaper in the United States while consultations being constantly reported Also we often hear of suspensions where daily paper is unable to sustain itself and is crowded out
 While very few new newspapers being estab- lshed the sale of papers that have been estab- lshed is almost daily The circumstance that those who want newspapers purchase those already established rather than to start new ones is explained by the fact that it costs a lot of money to acquire the equipment, news service and other things now required in the publication of a paper and it costs lot to operate paper until it becomes sef-supportng. More often than otherwise, the papers established give up the ghost before they are able to produce the necessary income to sustain themselves Then the new owner of an established paper acquires going business from the beginning-a business that would be constantly in competition with new publication if he started one
 The latest consolidation reported is that of the Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Journal The Journal was the oldest newspaper in Chicago The News was, and is, of the best money makers Under the terms of the consolidation the Journal moves over to the News's publication and editorial offices and the consolidated papers become "The Chicago Daily News and Chicago. Journal"
 This consolidation leaves Chicago with only three evening newspapers. There a time when she had seven. One of the three the Post has less than 38000 circulation and is supported in most part by it's financial advertising. There are only two morning newspapers in Chicago. A few years ago there were six.
 The Journal which goes out of business was the only Democratic paper in Chicago. The consolidated papers, as has always been the with the News, will be independent The News and now the Journal are published by company formed from the old editorial and business staff of the News headed by Walter A. Strong. The company acquired the News after the death of Victor Lawson who had been the publisher from the date of its founda tion.

Just about 20 years ago, Joe Mc- Carthy was a fair to middlin' in fielder around the American As- sociation while Connie Mack was winning American League pennants and worlds championships. At the same time, this writer happened to be the batboy for the Toledo Mud hens, then managed by Socks Sey- bold, one-time clouter with the Old Athletics.
 I sat in McCarthy's hotel room recently, faning about those days when genial Joe had little if any thought of becoming a major league manager, much less the pilot of the prospective National League champions of 1929 under the mil lion-dollar Wrigley banner.
 Funny, isn't it, how things turn about?" said Joe. Who ever would have figured the chance that I would some day be leading a team against Connie Mack in the worlds series? Connie was the old master to most of us then and he still is one of the grandest men in baseball"
 Mccarthy, sharing the supersti- tions of all ball-players, does not like to talk about the worlds series until all mathematical doubts are removed about the outcome of a pennant race. While the Cubs were steaming along, piling up a big lead through August, discussion of what the players might do with their "cut" in the big money was strictly taboo.
 The Chicago m a n g CT knows quite bit about the As, even though he hasn't had contacts with them in recent seasons. Mccarthy managed the Louisville club of the American Association when it play ed in the little worlds series against the Baltimore club that had Bishou, Boley, Grove and oth- CTS now on the As payroll.
 Grover Cleveland Alexander, it seems, could not resist the temp tation to celebrate his 373rd vic- tory and the new National League record it gave him.
 Old Pete" was sold down the river to St. Louis by the Cubs three years ago because he kicked over the traces and refused to obey the orders of Joe Mccarthy, then just taking hold of the Chicago team.
 Alex was big factor in the sub sequent successes of the Cardinals but there was the celebrated in- stance of his detour off the main road with Flint Rhem, the Caro- lima finger. Rehm, when called to account, insisted he felt obligated to consume Alexander's share of the refreshments to keep the vet eran from imbibing too freely.
 There's no secret, apparently, to the big success of Guy Bush on the mound for the Cubs this year.
 No, he hasn't any wrinkle ball, or slide ball or radio ball." said Joe MscCarthy, "but he's got fast one, slow one and a good curve. Isn't that enough?"

Porters Say Pullman Company
Is Trying ''Hard Boiled"
Tactics to Break Up Union

New York City (ILNS)-The Pull
man Company, long one of the
wealthiest companies in the country,
is STOPPING to intimidation and dis
charge of porters in an effort to break
up the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, Roy Lancaster, secretary
treasurer of the union, charges. Hun
dreds of cases of intimidation have
been reported to the brotherhood, he
said recently.
'In most cases." he said, "the in
justice is so great that the porter
feels that if properly brought to the
attention of those higher up there is
chance of getting back on the job.
That is why they are reluctant to
make the facts public. They do not
know, of course, that the policy of the
Pullman Company is to refer each
complaint to the local superintendent
for final action"
Lancaster said that porters are
continually leaving or being dis
charged to be replaced by green men,
and that the turnover SHOWS not only
unrest and dissatisfaction but also
explains the cause of SO many COM
plants against the service on the
cars"
He reported that the company was
recruiting new porters from Southern
cotton fields and that its policy was
to employ mo one who lives above
the Mason-Dixon line, no school boys
and no one who shows average intel
ligence."
"The service on Pullman cars is at
least 25 per cent below the service of
three years ago." Mr.. Lancaster said.
This is not only because new men
have been employed because of in
creased business, but principally be-
cause of intimidation methods in an
effort to break up the union. Men of
intelligence and courage are finding
other employment and are leaving the
service.
The hours the men are working
are not only inhuman but are steadily
undermining their health.
"To cite only one rum the social
ed 'chain-gang' run. This run leaves
New York at midnight, but the porter
reports at 1880 p. m. to get his car

to Ia hours. He reports again that
night at 1880 p. m. and leaves for

DRY ICE" PROVING
HAZARDOUS

Washington.-"Dry ice" is the lat
est industrial hazard, according to a
statement by the United States Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics.
Dry ice" is manufactured from
carbon dioxide and is used by ice
cream plants and dairy-products COM
ponies. The ice has an estimated
temperature of 110 degrees below
zero and may cause serious injury if
carelessly handled.
Warning labels are placed on the
containers but where handled with
bare hands the ice has proven in
furious.
The ice is also used to freeze the
core or center of golf balls, around
which the remainder of the ball is
constructed. Several cases of the
new industrial hazard have been re-
ported. In each case the nerves of
the fingers, hands and forearms were
affected to such an extent that form
of neuritis was produced. There was
first twitching or shaking of the arm
due to muscle contractions, numbness
OF the fingers SO that the prick of
pin could not be felt, inability to dis
tinguish between heat and cold and
sometimes pain and inability to use
the hand
