CHAMBER AGAIN MOVES TO HAVE
 ORDER CHANGED
Resumes Fight to Get Re. lief from Presidents
 Bird Season Edict

of President Hoover's curtailment of the migratory bird hunting sea- son in Alaska, the Chamber of Commerce today re-opened that subject. It directed Acting Secre- tary M. s. Whittier to telegraph Paul G. Redington again, reiterat- ing it's request and asking for a response.
 The Chamber two weeks ago wir- ed MT. Redington, Chief of the United States Biological Survey, and Senators Peter Norbeck and Fred erick Walcott, members of the Special Senate Committee on Wild Life Resources. Up to date 1t has heard nothing from any of them.
 Gardner Urges Move
 c. T. Gardner, former President of the Alaska Game Commission, who is at Yakutat for the summer, in a letter to the Chamber urged it to take such further action as may be possible to have the order rescinded, or at least modified, to more justly care for local condi- tions throughout Alaska"
 Saying he had observed with interest articles in The Empire with reference to the Chamber of Commerce protesting the action by the Presidents" he added:
 From all information have been able to gather, both from personal observation and by talk ing to number of local people, l have reached the conclusion. that there is equal to or more than the usual number of migratory water-Iouf1 f1n the lakes aeid sicughs in this section. the sloughs and rivers are reported covered with young birds.
 No Movement East
 T doubt if any can prove that any considerable number of the Pacific Coast migratory water fowl pass to the Central States in their movement to and from Alaska nesting grounds. It would appear that further effort should be made to have this order at least modi- fled to better suit local conditions or withdrawn entirely insofar as the coastal waters of Alaska are concerned.
 Tn the Yakutat section, this order will deprive of the only available meat supply of any de- scription, and cause serious re- duction in their already too meager food supply, and reduce many tc a near starvation existence"
 Discuss National Park
 Declaring that the Legislative Committee was not able to draft a resolution on the Southeast AL aska National Park project tha, would be acceptable to the entire Chamber, Chairman Faulkner sug- geted that a meeting day be set aside for special consideration o1 that subject by the whole member ship. The suggestion was adopted and the meeting will be set at g later date, President w. w. Coun. Gil announced.
 Dr. Council announced the ap- pointment of Judge H. B. LeFevre and Henry Roden as specia Bridge Committee to cooperate with like committee from Doug las. The joint committee will take up with the United States Foresi Service and Bureau of Public Roads the Gastineau Channel bridge pro- ject, urging construction without delay. It will meet with the Ex- ecutive Committee next Tuesday al which time Assistant Regional For ester M. L. Merritt and M. D. Will Hams, District Engineer, will be present.
 Urge N-Hour Service
 At the suggestion of Charles Goldstein, the Chamber today di- rected the Legislative Committee te make an effort to obtain for Ju- neau 24-hour cable service te Seattle. At present the service covers from 8 am. to midnight.
 Delays in traffic, due to heavy night filings from the Eastern part of the United States, interior Alaska and other points, handicap local business firms, 1t was point ed out. This traffic condition, it was disclosed, causes delay of three hours in the issuance of the daily weather map by the United States Weather Bureau here H. w. Irvine. Chief of the local Signal Corps station, explained to the Chamber the method of traf- fife operations. It was his opinion that the Chamber might be able to achieve it's objective if 1t made a proper effort.
