Through Trains Run
From Coast to Coast
from the New York World.

from the New York World.
Single cars have been running regu-
larly from the Eastern seaboard to the
Pacific Coast for many years, but only
last week has through-train service
been inaugurated from New York to
San Francisco, with the departure over
different lines of two trains scheduled
to connect at San Francisco with a
steamer for Honolulu. This new trans
continental service is limited so far to
these boat trains, and passengers not
Hawaii bound will continue, as hereto
fore, to change cars at Chicago or Kan
sas City in order to reach the Pacific
Coast. Nevertheless, a through train
from New York to San Francisco is an
event in transportation history, and the
linking of this service with an express
steamship to Honolulu makes it doubly

genius to direct.

A Letter to Sec. Lamont on
 Alaska Fisheries

Ketchikan, Alaska,
 Dec. "A, 1929 Hon. Robert P. Lamont,
 Secretary of Commerce,
 Washington, D. c.
 My dear MT. Lamont:
 I recently received via Vice. President Curtis your letter of September 26th to him with en- closure dated September 21st from Henry O'Malley entitled Memorandum for the Secre- tary."
 This memorandum was MT. O'Malley's defense against my charge that he refused to hear the protests of the native fisher men when he was in Ketchikan l,st July 3rd.
 Before analyzing this "de- fense" I wish to ask that you assume a judicial attitude that is, that you do not ignore the charges coming from myself snd from the ALASKA NATIVE BROTHERHOOD because of your high opinion of MT. O'Mal- ley gained thru your personal contact with him. The basis of our charges is simply that he has rot shown us the same courteS- ies that he has shown you or others, e. g., the public prints have just announced that he has Leen in San Francisco and Seat .le consulting with fishing inter ests as to the next years regu- lations, a privilege denied Alas kans.
 My next request is that be not prejudged by my personal opposition to the nomination of MT. Hoover which caused me to print the cartoon of him before the Republican convention met in 1928. I am no different than Senator Watson, MT. Curtis and many others who seem to have beer forgiven by Mr Hoover, In

 could tell you of more-one case where the Bureau of Fish cries now offers to recommend remission of fine after much ar gument and exchange of letters: but wish to take up MT. O'Malley's excuse for not meet ing our seiners on July 3rd last.
 Tt was necessary to sail promptly thereafter Cat one p. m.) in order to visit the Bu- reau's weir at Anan Creek and rlake the tide at Wrangell Nar- rows," says MT. O'Malley.
 This statement is false state ment for this reason-since the Narrows was dredged, even the large steamers can go thru the NarroWs at any stage of the tide. O'Malley should be made to ex- plain this obvious falsehood.
 End: However admitting a ne- cessity arguendo, MT. O'Malley could have attended the three o'clock meeting, stayed one hour, left on his BRANT and visited the weir in the same time that was actually consumed. I do not have the BRANT'S log. but feel sure that the BRANT did not reach Anan Creek before II r. m.. and that MT. O'Malley did not inspect the weir before the morning of the 4th. I am al- lowing the Brant 9 hours to make the trip.
 3rd: The term make the tide at Wrangell NarrOWS" is mere deception on the part of MT. O'Malley because his boat can go through the Narrows at any stage of the tide since the Nar- rows was dredged. The British boats do it.
 4th: MT. O'Malley admits spending two days at Juneau. All We wanted was three hours.
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-02-15

fact, my position argues more strongly for me than does theirs for them in this-I have asked no favors for myself. My crime has been and is this that I am appealing for my people, of pe- culiar race, people who from my own personal knowledge and ex- perience have been and are cruelty oppressed by Henry O'Malley first in the name of MT. Hoover and now in the name of Mir. Robert P. Lamont.
 My people are not getting enough to eat.
 In their name I present my case for your earnest considera- tion. Virtually every bay suit able for our form of gear has been closed by Henry O'Malley under the guise of "conserva- tion," and then when We went into the channels and were over- coming our difficulties by using the "hook-of," MT. O'Malley pro- 1libited that. It is unjust.
 Kasaan Bay is closed to the 150 Indians who lived there before O'Malley was born. but he allowed two big traps at the entrance to catch variously from one-half to one million salmon during the season. He would not close the south trap because he would have to close cut one small trap near it which was owned by poor fellow named Miller who had a wife and family. Why not consider the 50 Indian families that have been driven out of KaSaan Bay by MT. O'Malley?
 On the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island. your wardens i,ave closed many bights where there are no salmon streams by placing prohibitory signs with your name on them, all this in addition to the numerous clos-

to do this was to go into vaudeville.
So I went. For months ] played S1e

I could speak lines and carry myself

A LSO in the Daily Express is an
article by the foremost British
film critic, @. A. Atkinson, which con-
tains statements that should be of in
terest to Americans who follow the
fortunes Of the movies
Here are some of Mr.. Atkinson's
facts:
This year the British Empire will
pay to the American movie industry
and to the affiliated electrical industries
(for talkie apparatus) the tidy sum of
500, 100000.
In addition to which, the British
Empire will pay to other American in
dustries the even tidier sum of $l75,-
Using OF American goods on the
screen. In support of this statement,
Mr.. Atkinson quotes the United States
Department of Commerce, as follows:
For every foot of film exported from
America it is estimated that Ameri-
can business secures a return of at
least one dollar in trade"
There are countless instances of the
manner in which trade follows the
reel.
"a Chicago commercial writer re-
ports that he saw new American
BARRIERS chair in town in Macedonia,
and on asking the proprietor how he
came to get it was told that an order
had been given for a BARRIERS chair
like one used in one of Adolph Men
jou's films
THE Department of Commerce
quotes an instance of sewing machine
order from Siam, a country in which
the company had no agent; the pur-
chaser explained that he had seen one
like it in a movie"
British shoe manufacturers have
been forced to install machinery to
make shoes similar to those seen in
American films"
"Typists in Paris have held a meet
ing to demand that they should work
in the same conditions of office comfort
and efficiency as the stenographers
seen in American films"

gering extent to which American-made
moving pictures dominate this earth

mishap.
