Fishermen Opposed

Washington. Feb. os (UP)-One could almost smell the salt fog off the Grand Banks and hear fish fiop- ping in trawler decks. as Massachu- settes fishermen aired their grudges against net makers before the house ways and means committee at a night tariff session.
 The trouble arose from the fear of fishermen they could not catch fish with American machine made Otter travis, for which an Ameri- can concern is seeking duty of go per cent ad valorem. The travis, used in deep-sea fishing, now come in under the free list and are made by hand in England.

PITY FOR SUCCESSOR IS VOICED
 BY EX-CUSTOMS HEAD AT DETROIT

DETROIT. June 27.-One of the toughest jobs" in the federal serv- ice is the description sometimes given the post of collector of GUS toms at Detroit, which has been surrendered by Carey D. Fergu- son.
 The post has been so called be- cause it includes responsibility for the patrolling of the Detroit river against liquor smugglers.
 When Ferguson resigned after six years in office, it was stated he apparently had been unable to stop the illegal flow of liquor across the Detroit river from Canada. Fergu- son retorted that he had mo apolo- gies to make and that he sympa- thized with his successor, whoever he might be.
 He pointed out that the territory under the collectors jurisdiction extended virtually 100 miles along the shore line from Port Huron almost to Toledo, Ohio. T believe it unfair to require one person to take full responsibility for enforc- ing the liquor laws over miles of river and lake border in this dis trict," he said.
 Ferguson's resignation followed by a few weeks the publication O. a Detroit newspaper of picture of rum runners landing their car goes at a dock only four blocks from the Detroit river customs pa trol base, and the statement that everyone of 300 boats seized by the patrol for rum running had disap- peared from the unguarded bone yard" where they had been stored.
 Many of the craft, it was assert ed, had re-appeared in the rum running trade.
 It was less than six months ago that a federal grand jury here in dicted 20 customs border patrol agents and 19 rum runners for brib- cry and three agents for perjury. An entire reorganization of the cus- toms border patrol followed. Many charges were made that from 50 to 75 per cent of the liquor shipped from Canada to the United States was slipped through the customs cordon.
 l At the time it was estimated the !, value of this liquor was from S3O,- GOO, ,OO0 to $40,000000 annually.
 Ferguson, former street car con- ductor, business agent for the cal mems union, and a deputy com missioner of the state department of labor and industry, was appoint ed collector by President Harding in February, 1923.

TRAP FISHING IS PROHIBITED
 HERE IN FALL
New Orders Elimin a t e Traps in Southeastern
 Alaska in Fall Months

New fishery regulations issued Tuesday by the Department of Commerce, and made public here late yesterday, prohibit all trap fishing for salmon in Southeastern Alaska during the Fall season, it was announced by Capt. M. J.. O'Connor, Asst, Agent of the Unit ed States Bureau of Fisheries. The order wipes out two weeks of Fall trap fishing in five districts in this Division.
 The areas affected are: Western, Eastern, North and South Prince of Wales Island, and the Southern or Ketchikan districts.
 In the Western, roughly embrac- ing waters around Baranof Island and Chatham Strait. the trap sea- son will end August 10. In the Eastern district, which included Frederick Sound and Stephens Pas sage, it will close August IA. In the North Prince of Wales Island area, the close season starts August 24, and four days later in the South Prince of Wales Island re- zion. In the Southern or Ketchi- kan District the trap season will end August 16.
 These dates were all set in the original regulations issued last De- cember. At that time, however, provision was made for trap opera tions between October and Is in all of the districts named.
