 MT. McKeoWn> Bureaus are all the same, and long distance government is exactly the same. You should be ashamed to defend such a Bureau since you claim personal knowledge of what bureaucratic govern ment means.
 H. R. 2394, Hearing Jan. 17, 1922
 You should read this hearing in which the witnesses were Bishop Rowe the Episcopal Bishop of Alaska, William l.. Paul, and Charles Ferguson, for you need the kind of infornla- tion that is contained therein.
 You referred to the Yakuto.t situation as being satisfactory. That is true to a large degree. Whatever abuse that exists t!.ere is due largely to Libby, McNeil & Libby who use this unfair practice puts it's hired men on the ground while the rivers are still frozen and these men hold the best places for their set-nets by putting their nets in place on the ice. In this way, the natives are forced to take inferior places simply because they cannot afford to sit and watch their places in competi- tion with the hired men of this great Chicago corporation.
 What we are trying to do is to get Henry O'Malley to give the rest of us the same favorable consideration which NATURE las forced him to give the Yaku- tat fishermen. These men earn cd according to the figures giv- en you by the Bureau of Fisher ies almost $1,000 each. We could get along on that, but certainly

and there is no credit due MT. O'Malley for he has and is mak- ing it just as hard for the na- t;ves there as he can. For ex- ample, he has closed Dry Bay to commercial fishing this year to May 18th and prevents our fishermen from catching the king salmon till they get into the river. Of course this would meet with your approval. But after that date, the district is open and the Chicago company las special hydroplane boats that go up the river and catch the very same fish before they get into the lake so that the ef- feet of MT. O'Malley's regulation "in the interest of conservation is that the Natives and others are prohibited from catching salmon which are later caught by the great corporation of Chi cago.
 Who Wrote the Letter
 On page 2498 of the Congress sional Record you quote letter which in turn quotes from the report of the Hon. s. L Howe: Provincial Secretary of British Columbia. I merely ask who wrote for this reason-he as- sumes that the fishermen would object if the B. c. regulations as applied to seines were also the law of Alaska. I would say this the Natives of Alaska for whom I am spokesman, and the other local fishermen whose con- fdence I have, would not ob- ject if the entire policy of the fishery officials of British Co., l.lmbia were adopted and applied as they are in British Columbia.
 We do not advocate fishing of s.ny sort without regulation.
 We know what the ultimate regulation will be, but until that time comes, we ask that the bur- dens of regulation be fairly dis jributed. Our condition is now

IOWA CITY. Ia, Jan. 10-tP9-
Hopeful al least for partial vindi-
cation OF its efforts toward a whole
sale athletic house cleaning" Uni
versity Of Iowa officials prepared
today to receive q committee Of
three delegates by the Western
conference to decide the eligibility
OF Is Iowa ath' ties disqualified
for participation in a loan fund
maintained under the athletic ad-
ministration of Paul K. Betting.
The athletes were declared in
eligible after a conference meeting
last December, and the Hawkeye Of
ficials accompanied this act with
a plea to the conference to send
representatives TO Sc IF essential
justice has been done" Iowa Of
ficials maintain that athletes were
innocent participants in a fund
that had full approval Of the ath-
letic administration.
The conference trio is headed by
Thomas X. French Of Ohio State.
While the only formal action of
the committee may take will be to
pass on the eligibility Of the ath-
letes. their decision Is expected to
have considerable bearing on Iowa's
chances for reinstatement.

In recent years the games COM
