 Among the first regulations published is that no deer can be taken in lieu of herding fees.
 The regulation set forth by the Senate Committee with draws use of the Teller and Buckland grazing area from use of any save the native owners.

even. The buyers, on the other hand declare that the economic depression is hitting the fish markets as every other and the prices demanded by the fisher men cannot be borne by the buying public. On top of which they point to the bank failures which has caused the tightening up on loans so that it is almost impossible to borrow r rcces5l'y capital to operate. So tj7u.n the matter stands.

 It has been rumored that the Oxenberg Bros., interests will be combined with that of EinstOOs' Later reports from Ketchikan, published by J, E. Berg represent that the Oxenberg interests denied the amalSamation.
 During the week Of the Fourth it was also rumored that the fishermen were going to call off the strike on account of lack ot funds to finance the bare living expenses of many of the men who had not earned any money pricr to the strike. The return to operations was said to be due to take place about the 18th of the month, but this report could not be substantiated in Peters, burg by any of the Association men.

TROLLERS STAND PAT

1AAND "A
 Led by the Alaska Trollers Association, the fishermen de- clared a strike when the buyers of king salmon set their prices down to 8-4-2 on the grounds and 1O-6-3 delivered. With the large fleet of trollers on the va rious grounds, it is an establish ed fact that it is impossible tc earn a fair, let alone a living wage, at less than ten cents per pound.
 The strike was called following a meeting of the Association at Port Alexander Patrol boats were sent north and south to advise all fishermen of the situ.- ation and to urge cooperation. A1CC1 U41C 11ldUCO1 WdO CAp1d11lCQ, all but a few of the trollers tied up their gear and pulled into harb0rs to await development. The most salmon delivered dur- ing the month of June was at Juneau where the fishermen da- livered from Taku Harbor at the 10-8-3 price. A few hand trollers delivered to the buyers on the ground Craig fishermen.

 The fishermen contend that the price of fish is so low and the cost of operation so high that it is impossible to break

it would be we'll to read of the war between the Cattlemen's Association and the "Rustlers,' the latter being in reality the small herd owners If memory serves correctly the Association itself was cleaned out of nav erick branding, cattle stealing proclivities by a combination of the smaller men.
 In the reindeer country, the Eskimos showed a 10 per cent increase in their herds annually whilst the Lomen's show 90 per cent. In the hearings it was shown that in the running of the various herds on a range many native deer were killed, notations of credits to be made and none shown ever given.
 It has been stated that in- formation and statements pre- sented the Commit tee were not all published. They were just too disgraceful to present to the general public and political pressure of no mean proportions was brought to bear upon Wit- nesses who were made to feel the yelled fist in no uncertain manner.
 Out of which came the plan of a governing board to be con- posed of the Governor of Alas ka, the Department of Indian Affairs, the Eskimo reindeer owners, the Lomen corporation, which was to meet and name the personnel of the committed which would draw up rules and regulations governing the in- dustry.

bill ASKS LARGER
POWER FOR M'CARL
Collins Proposes to Reduce
Number of Small Measures
Sent to Congress.

Enlarged powers for the controller
general, by which he can relieve Con-
gress of having to consider probably
one third Of the bills that now are in
troduced and referred to committee,
thus allowing Congress to concentrate
on other legislative matters is proposed
in a bill which Representative Ross
Collins, Democrat, of Mississippi,
member of the Appropriations Com
mittee, has drafted to be introduced as
soon as the House organizes.
Representative Collins hopes to prac-
tically do away with the private calen-
dar in the House by letting the con-
troller general settle without congress
sional deliberation all claims against
the Government for amounts under
$780, All claims over that amount
would still be taken care Of in bills
referred to the proper committee.
Under this legislation, the controller
general would be called upon to make
recommendations to Congress regard
ing disposal of all those claims in ex-
cess of $500.
What a hole such a law would make
in the volume of bills considered in
Congress can be estimated from statis-
tics of the last session, which show
there were 1873 House bills intro
duced, and with the resolutions the
amount ran up to 1886 The pubic
hills that became laws totaled 869 and
the public resolutions lao. The private
bills that became laws totaled 5l2 and
the private resolutions 3, making a
grand total of 1924 laws passed. APP
proximately one-third of these would
be settled by the controller general out
side Of Congress If the proposal OF
Representative Collins Is passed.
