Halibut In Too Many Hands
 Says Berg

KETCHIKAN-Ther is a great variance between the retail and wholesale prices of halibut in New York city, according to J. E. Berg, president of the First National Bank of Ketchikan and manager of the Marlyn Fish company. He returned on the Princess Alice from a quick business trip to the east.
 "If all of the halibut were in the hands of one company" said Mr. Berg, production could be regulated so that fishermen would get a fair price for their product. It is now in too many hands and is dumped on the market regard less of the law of supply and de- mand."
 For instance. Mir. Berg said that one week ago last Saturday dealers were asking IS cents for Monday delivery. It has been as low as 10 cents a pound. he said. However, regardless of the flue- tuation in the price. MT. Berg said that the retailers have been charg ing a consistent price.
 "The retail price makes halibut a luxury" said MT. Berg. "A great deal more. naturally. would be consumed if the price were lower. From what I could learn there is a much more narrow margin for the retail and whole sale price of other fish, and the same should apply to halibut.
 T am fully convinced" contin- ued MT. Berg, that the only cure is for the halibut men toI place their product in the hands of one marketing concern. I may say in this connection that the United Pacific Fisheries cooper atiYe organization is still in ex- istence and. is going ahead with it's plans There will be no let down in it's work of stabilizing the halibut market In no other way can the wholesale and re- tail price in the eastern market be controlled for the benefit of the fishermen"
 MT. Berg e&plalned that III case of too much production, halibut boats would be required to re- main in port and would then rotate to the fishing grounds in such a! manner that all would be given an equal break.
 MT. Berg said that he talked with William Oxenberg in Brook lyn, New York, and the latter told him that there was no chance for a better price on king salmon until the grade of the fish im- proved. MT. Oxenberg. he said, told him that it was necessary to repack 65 per cent of the fish this year instead of 25 per cent repaeking last year.
 ''In all my years of experience in the fishing business here" said MT. Berg. 'I do not believe the king salmon were ever in such poor condition for mild cure as they have been so far this year. MT. 0xen- berg expected to leave for Seattle for the summer He may be there now. He told me that as soon as the king salmon improved in grade he was willing to pay more that the present price. .''-Chronicle.

BRINGS
BERLIN LOAN
DEMANDS
German Cabinet Will Resign
Rather Than Make Conces-
sions Sought, Officials Say

BERLIN, July II G.N.SD.-Dr.
Hans Luther, president of the
ReichSbank, arrived in Berlin by
airplane today from Paris, bring
ing with him the French conceS-
sion demands made as the price
of French participation in an in
ternational loan to Germany.
DR.. Luther was uncommunica-
tive regarding the outcome of his
negotiations in Paris, and pro-
ceeded Immediately to the palace
of Chancellor Heinrich Bruening
to lay his report before the Ger
man cabinet.
Fantastic Figures"
The Reichsbank president did
comment, however, on the re-
ports of the size of the loan he
sought in France. He said:
81 have read in the news
papers some fantastic figures in
connection with my credit re-
quest in Paris and London i
had no intention of starting a
credit initiation. 1 only wanted
to put the ReichSbank on a
new, firm basis through a reStO-
ration of confidence"
A bitter press campaign in re-
sistance to the political conces-
sions demanded as a price for
French cooperation in an inter
national loan was begun in Vir-
tually all German newspapers to-
day.
Both President Won Hindenburg
and the German cabinet will re-
sign rather than cripple Ger
many's present national defense
in order to obtain loan, govern
ment spokesmen intimated to In
ternational News Service.
Since DIR. Luther'S departure
Chancellor Bruening'S cabinet has
been in almost continuous session.
The chancellor has been having
long distance telephone talks with
President Won Hindenburg for
hours at a time since the crisis
began to show signs of coming
to a head.
Called Humiliation
Government spokesmen pointed
out that the aged soldier Presi-
dent considers Frances demand
that Germany suspend her west
pocket cruiser" program as a
personal humiliation. The Presi-
dent is at his summer home in
east Prussia.
Germans are generally indig.
nant at this suggestion, declaring
that one or two small cruisers
offer no threat whatever to the
big navies of France and Eng.
land.
Hitler Would Gain Power
If Chancellor Bruening should
resign, it would mean probably
that the next government would
be in control of DR.. Alfred HUI.

, Incarceration was ordered
by Justice Jennings Bailey,
of the District Supreme
Court, despite the claim of
Falls attorneys that he is
in serious physical condi-
ton on his ranch in New
Mexico.
In announcing decision,
Justice Bailey said that if
counsel for the aged former
Cabinet officer would move
to amend the sentence to a
year and a day, the court
would consider such a move.
This, the court thought,
would enable the Department
of Justice to order Falls con-
finement in "a more salubri-
Gus" climate than is afforded
in the District Jail.
Falls original sentence was
for one year. Sentences Of
this length are served in jails,
rather than penitentiaries. By
extending the sentence for one
day, the court was of the
opinion that the Department
of Justice would then have
power to send Fall where his
health would be safeguarded.
Hogan Asks Delay
Frank j. Hogan, counsel for
Fall, asked for a day to consider
the courts suggestion. The
court declared:
81 cannot see that there is
any material change in Falls
condition since the previous
trial, and what 1 gather from
the report of physicians is that
it is not the danger of con-
finement but the danger Of
imprisonment in a humid eli
mate such as that of Wash
ingtOn.
This is not a case where the
defendant is suffering from
some illness such as typhoid
fever, from which he might re-
cover soon. Any suspension in
this case would be a prOtectOral
suspension of the sentence
ordered by the court"

All were caught Wednesday and
Thursday by the chief clerk on

Some Out at Once
Under the regulations, no clerk
Is allowed to smoke in the build
ing nor leave his desk for that
purpose during business hours,
but officials say the rule has
been flagrantly violated and they
acted to pu3 an end to it.
Some of the clerks ended their
services as Of today. while others
will be kept on until the annual
leave they have earned has been
used up.
According to the clerks, the
action came as a. bombShell, be-
cause they had been getting away
with it for so long, they felt
nothing would happen"
However, they said they knew
the rule, and would have to take
the consequences.
Further Cuts Seen
According to lesser officials, a
large cut in the present force
must come because the work is
running out.
On the first of June a large
number Of employees were dropped
from the rolls and notices have
gone out terminating the services
