Chamber Of Commerce Quarterly Meeting To Discuss Fish Market
FISHERMEN AND BUYERS TO BE ASKED TO PRESENT SIDES ON LOCAL PRICES ON FISH

The regular quarterly public meeting of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce will be held Saturday evening, April 4, at 7:30 D. m., at the Bills Club. According to plans now being made the chief topic of conversation at this meeting will be fish. Efforts will be made to have present both fishermen, fish buyers and those interested in cold storage of fish, and the intention is to attempt to arrive at some under standing of the situation in Wran- gell which will enable the town to get a larger amount of fish busi- ness.
 At Mondays meeting Leo Me- Cormack stated that the town is getting but a fraction of the busi- ness it should get from this source, the apparent causes being, in the opinion of others present. the low CT price paid in Wrangell and the lack of storage facilities. Excep- tion was taken to the charge of low prices, and instances were cit ed where Wrangell had paid more than any of the other towns. All were agreed that storage facilities were inadequate, and all were in agreement with President R. N. Scruby that definite steps should be taken to enable the town to offer increased cold storage.
 That benefits commensurate with the expense of membership in the Alaska Chamber of Commerce were questionable was the concensus of opinion at the Monday noon meet ing of the Wrangell chamber, and the matter of joining was laid on the table indefinitely. Membership in the Alaska chamber, which has headquarters at Juneau, is $10 per year for the club and $1 per year for each member of the local club. The Alaska chamber meets but every other year, business matters in the interim being managed by the secretary at Juneau through correspondence with the member clubs. This arrangement, the Wrangell. club felt, was not likely to produce benefits sufficient to jus tify the expense of membership.
 Walter Waters brought to the at- tention of the club the apparent scarcity of hair seal, on which a $2 bounty is in force, and stated that on the west coast this scarcity is working a hardship on the natives, many of whom depend on the hair seal for a portion of their food. This topic developed into a general discussion of what were termed in- justices that had been done the na- tives, some oontending that where the native had been deprived of his original rights, the blessings" of civilization more than compensated for the loss. It was pointed out that the Alaskan native receives fewer rights and privileges from the federal government than does the Indian in the States.
 Returning to the matter of the hair seal, the secretary was in- structed to write Senator Charlesl Benjamin to investigate through the Biological Survey whether or not the bounty on hair seal could be removed without permitting a return of an animal destructive to the fishing industry.

Favorable Reports

Wool growers of Arizona and other western states
have to be optimistic, to certain degree at
least, from the reports issued late last week by the
National Wool Marketing Corporation regarding wool
consumption and the relation between the foreign and
domestic wool markets.
Figures released by the Department of Commerce,
the reports say, indicate that the consumption of wool
this year will far exceed that of 1880. During the
first three months of this year the consumption has
steadily increased, being 4000 900 more in March
than in January In 1880 the reverse was the case,
the consumption being approximately the same amount
less in March than in January.
The reports indicate alSo that much of this in
crease in consumption is of domestic rather than for
eign woods. Imports have reached low figure and
the manufacturers are turning to high grade domestic
woods to supply their factories.
Half-blood, three-eghts blood and quarter blood
woods showed fair activity, but low quarter showed
decrease this year. indicating that the better grades
are the hope of wool growers.
During the first three months of 1881 the amount
of domestic wool exceeds that of foreign wool by ap-
proximately 100000 pounds
Arizona shipped, by May 3d. of this year. 1,217,-
877 pounds of wool to the cooperative marketing cor
poration which indicates along with figures from other
states that the cooperative wool volumn will be in
creased this year over last.
On the whole, the reports point toward better times
in the wool industry The turning point in the depres
sion seems to have been reached than in some
other rindustries---EXchange

Old Wage System Is Doomed

In a worldwide radio broadcast, Pope Plus Al
severely scores the unjust dsporporton of the commod
tiles of life between capital and labor for the one
hand riches are accumulated in the hands of few,
while on the other hand the proletrate, who form
multitude beyond all counting, have nothing of their
save their hands and the sweat of their brow.
He declares that wages must be such really to sat
sfy the legitimate requirements of honest working
man, not only for his person, but also for his family,
and to make it possible for him to improve his con-
dition."
Commenting on the demand of certain bankers
that wages be reduced, William Green, president of
the American Federation, says Labor holds that
wages must be based upon the workers power of pro-
ducton and that wages should be increased in proper
ton to the increase of workers efficiency and produc
tvity."
The old economic doctrine that wages should be
limited to the lowest point of living costs seems to be
doomed. The Superior Sun.

STATE SHIPS FIRST
CARS OF MELONS
N ON DAY

The first car loads of
cantaloupes from Arizona
for the 1881 season will be
loaded from Yuma and the
Salt River valley Monday,
J. M. Foote, in charge of the
state vegetable inspection
service said yesterday. One
car will be loaded in each
district, he said.
1t is estimated that the
total cars for the week will
not exceed 10 or Is. Melons
ripening at this time were
grown under "hot cap" pro-
lection and are from 10 days
to two weeks ahead of the
general crop. Picking and
packing melons will be start
ed on a large scale between

True Brotherhood

Arthur Brisbane touched a significant point in the
following paragraph
''The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen at Hous-
ton Texas vote to limit their own working hours and
earnings to provide employment for 1O85O men now
idle
Such railroad workers are entitled to use the word
brotherhood in connection with their union.
"They have and prove feeling of brotherhood,
rare in these cod-blooded days.
Members of railroad unions, protected by seni-
ority rights could demand full time and pay if they
choose to adopt devil take the hindmost' policy"

SNAKE CATCHING IS

Merrimack, Wis.,-Cap-
turing rattlesnakes alive was
Elmer Keitel's hobby when

a market for rattlesnake
venom, used to make an
antldOte serum.
Rattlesnake sell for be-
tween $18 and $40 a dozen,
bull snakes for So apiece,

EAST TO FOLLOW
ARZONA'SEXANPLE

Arizona is given recognl-
ton as virtually the only
American state which has
attempted an organized form
of economic planning to
guide it's future develop
ment, in an article in this
months Atlantic Monthly by
Stuart Chase, the noted Ii
beral economist, on "Har-
Messing the Wild Horses of
Industry"
Supplementing a similar
reference in an interview in
the New Times several
weeks ago, Mr.. Chase terms
the Arizona Industrial con-
gress the first economic
planning body set up in this
country in an effort to CO.
ordinate the varied interests
graphical region into one de-
velOpment program.
Mr.. Chase's article in the
Atlantic is devoted to the
necessity of "master-plann-
ing" for industrial and busi-
ness coordination if the ma
chine-made age is to avoid
peaks and depression and
unite the entire economic
structure into an evenly
balanced whole.
After describing a hypot-
hetical Northwest Project"
on which he worked years
ago as an example of poten-
tial "master-planning," Mr..
Chase describes work of the
supreme economic council
of wartime days and the
present stupendous ''five
year program" being at
tempted in Russia as the
'nly comprehensive efforts
that have been made at or
ganized industrial coordina-
ton on national or larger
scale. Of Arizona he says:
Turning westward again,
we find, since the war, a
wide desert with one or
two GASES. The state of Ari-
zona has had a planning
board since the depression
of 1921, due to the pesistent
