FACING BANKRUPTCY

If the truth were told the Public would be in lurined that most business houses in Southeastern Alaska insolvent and facing bankruptcy.
 The Seattle Wholesalers worried.
 Why should this condition be with Henry O'Malley as autocrat of our fisheries.
 Alaska is suffering from the ill-advised regu- lations of Henry OMalley. He has closed our streams and all where Alaskans can catch fish. He has discovered that fishermen catch fish in the straits by fastening end of the seine to the shore, he has prohibited that. And yet the fish trap is nothing but hook but restriction is placed them.
 O,MalIey has stopped trolIers from fishing during January, February, March and from August 24th up to October 1st after which weather condi- tions make fishing impossible.
 O'Malley still keeps the seasonal closing so the time will come when no fish will run except during the closed because that is the only fish that protected.
 Only two things are increasing in Alaska un- der O'Maeys regime-fsh traps and patrol boats If had charge of our fisheries would in- crease the population of Alaska by 25OOO in five years.
 Under the OMalley system, OIalley has lost 15,O0O in population

at his henchmans outburst of sympathy

Hold on!" exhorted Kirby; albeit despairing
of opening the mind of a man whose forebears
for thousands of years had lived in land
where the corvee-forced labor-was hallowed
institution and where the money of employers
could always enlist the aid of government SOL
diery to keep the fellaheen at their tasks.
Hold on! That sort of thing is dead and done
with Even in the East, Chinese Gordon
stamped out the last of it, in Egypt, years ago.
If man doesn't want to work, he can't be
forced to. All his boss can do is to fire him and
try to get some one in his place. When whole
factory of men strike-eSpecially If there are
any big contract orders to fill in a rush-the
