BILL TO LIMIT SHIP CANNERIES
 IS CONSIDERED
Congress May Shackle Floating Plants-Dele-
 gate Attacks O'Malley

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 19.-- In a hearing before the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, on a bill to limit operations of floating canneries in Alaska waters, Delegate Sutherland renewed his long-standing fight on the personnel of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, charging them with protecting monopolies of fish ing rights through favoritism m administration of regulations. He opposed any extension of the au- thority of the Commissioner of Fisheries.
 He asserted the trouble was not with the law but with the manner in which it was administered by Henry O'Malley. Commissioner of Fisheries.
 MT. O'Malley, who preceded the Delegate before the Committee, tes- tified the bureau needed the bill under consideration to enable it to efficiently protest the salmon runs in Alaska by making it possible to know in advance of the season how extensive the fishing would be. The measure was introduced by Representative Welch, Republican, of California. It would require cannery operators to serve notice in advance of their operating pro- grams. It would prohibit, also, the operation of any individual cannefy at more than one location in any single season, thus striking directly at floating canneries which move from one area to another as the runs occur
 Capt. w. J. Peterson, represent ing the Ship Owners Association of the Pacific Coast, sponsored the bill, declaring it was for protection against fishermen bootleggers" which, he added, referred only to floating plants.
 Peter Olsen, President of the AL aska Fishermen's Union of San Francisco, also supported the meas ure. He declared the floating can neries "go up there and take as much as they want, reducing the supply of fish and disorganizing the regulations.
 Representative Welch, author of the bill, declared the floating can- nerymen come from nowhere and go anywhere they please"

Charles d. Osborne Of New York, president OF the

bad conditions" He listed the conditions as over
c~rowding, inadequate. poorly constructed, and non
fireproof buildings. idleness and low pay. All these
conditions are found at the Texas prisons and prison
farms.
According to Pres. Osborne, the Ohio catastrophe
should call attention to the fact that a large number
Of prison camps throughout the country, especially
at the Missouri state prison. include road camps
bunkhouses at farms and iails which he says are

Dial telephones are being installed in Washington
but President Hoover has declined them in the White

enough without being forced to pick numbers out Of a
finger-trap in order to get somebody on the telephone.
