FOR J0BLESS
LOOMS, CLAIM

WASHINGTON, Sept. Il. R-
Federal relief efforts were based to-
day on the assump N that the
number Of unemployed in distress
next winter will be far less than the
total jobless.
Administration officials regard the
distress problem as serious but are
confident 1t can be adequately cared
for and feel there Is no occasion for
public alarm.
Survey Made.
A survey OF the probable relief
burden is being made by government
agencies in collaboration with pri-
vste welfare agencies and federal
officials are not yet ready to esti-
mate what II will be.
They are confident. however. on
the basis OF last years experience.
that the total number of unemployed
does not repreent the number who
will need help.
Administration leaders believe that
while the census bureau estimate
showed 5000, 900 unemployed last
winter the number In distress was
between 1000, 600 and 5000, 900.
Next winter the number needing
help may be larger, they believe. but
the general problem will be some
what better because the burden OF
last years 1000. 900 drought victims
will be removed.
OF the 6.000.O 900 unemployed last
winter. officials believe that $780,
900 represented the number normally
out OF work. and more than 1.000. 900
others were only seasonally jobless.
The census estimate. IL was recall
ed was made in January at the
height of seasonal unemployment
when farm laborers, road workers
and many railroad employees were
idle.
No Alarm Cause.
Federal relief experts also calcu-
late that there are II breadwinners
to every 10 families and therefore
many families still have some income
even though one member Is out OF
work.
They take no stock in estimates
that 5000. 900 unemployed means
that counting members OF the fami-
lies OF the jobless 10000, 900 are in
need.
The problem next winter. they be-
lieve, will not be of aiding 10000
600 people, but only those who are
destitute.
Over emphasis OF the problem, &C
cording 10 their view. has disturbed
the public mind.

Another of the victims was a brother of Logan. At the time of the massacre, Logan was hunting in Western Ohio.
 Logan's life seemed to be changed after that. He became bloodthirsty and wrecked ven- geance on the whites wherever he met them. It is said that within a very short period he had killed thirty of them. The chief was under the misappre-

The Frog that Kicked and the Frog that Didn' t

The story is told that two frogs once fell into Q bucket ot railk. After fioundering around for awhile, trying to get out, one of the frogs gave up and was soon drowned. The other frog just kicked and kicked and kick ed and low he churncd up a big lump of butter. Climbing on the butter he was able to get a solid footing and jump out of the pail and save himself.
 Hill Billy" in the Seattle Star says:
 "A fellow can get quite a bit of biologic information merely by observing Q barrelful of Wrig- glers fighting an oil scum; 999 in 1000 will come up for air: stick their noses into the deadly film; give a kick and die; but the hundredth wriggle,: will dart into the barrage; dart away, chase around just under the sur face, discover the only spot where the turp has not spread, and retire to the depths of the barrel.
 T do not know what gives the hundredth wriggler his unique intelligence; I do not know how CT why small, skinny, ascetic can defy all the might and ma = jesty of the British Empire; l do not sabe the wherefore of an Omar, the whenceness of a Pla- to, or the cause of a Kant; but everywhere in nature, as in his tory, there is the unique, the ex- ceptional, the evolutionary"
 In Alaska
 In Alaska, the wrigglers are the Indian Fishermen, the mem bers of the Alaska Native Sister hood; the Alaska Native Bro- therhood. The businessmen, the white fishermen, or wrigglers, feeling the potent power of the oily scum (traps) in the waters Of Alaska, have given a kick or two and turned over on their backs to die.
 The wrigglers, the Indian kick CTS, darting hither and yon, ask ing, begging, pleading, arguing, proving the rightness of their contentious, still looking for the clear spots in the administra- tion of the fisheries Of Alaska. Demanding the right to eat and to be clothed and to have the simple necessities of life.
 Here Is One Spot
 The Oregon Supreme Court just recently upheld the decision Of a Circuit Court which declares traps or docks on Sand Spit Is land in the Columbia River may not obstruct the free drift Of the gillnetters. So the traps and fish dock of the Barbey Fish Co.,, must be removed.
 We hold that under the act of 1924, Alaska fishermen have the right to fish in any area where in trap is operated and that under it's present regulation, the trap system is an illegal institu- tlon.
 A Second Spot
 The Act of 1924 is specific in it's prohibitions.
 Section of the White Fisher ies Law of 1924 declares: ... ...
 Sec. 5. Section 5 of said Act of Congress approved June 26. 1906 is amended to read as follows:
 "Sec. 5. That it SHALL BE UNLAWFUL to FISH FOR, TAKE OR KILL ANY SALMON OF ANY SPECIES IN ANY MANNER OR BY ANY MEANS EXCEPT BY hand rod, spear, or gaff for per- sonal use and. not for sale. or barter in any of the. waters of Alaska over which. the. United States has jurisdiction from six o'clock postmeridian of Satur- day of EACH WEEK UNTIL six
The Alaskan., 1931-08-07

( o'clock Saturday, is in viola tion of Sec. 5 of the law of 1921. For when any salmon are remov- ed from any trap, the salmon
 are taken or killed; not by the
 use of gaff, hand rod or spear
 for personal use but for sale and
 barter; for the commercializa-
 tion of that salmon. Therefore,
 every operator of a trap during
 these days of fishing is violatin:
 this law.
 Where Are the Officers? We charge that United States
 Commissioner of Fisheries, Hen
 ry O'Malley is relict in his sworn
 duty to properly administer the fishery laws in Alaska; that ev-
 cry deputy fish warden, stream watchman who does not file a complaint against any and every operator who violates this sec ticn, is relict in his sworn duty to perform his duties without fear or favor"
 The Penalty
 Section 5 of the law of 1924 was written and passed by Con- gress for a specific purpose. It explicitly defines the time when fish may be taken and expressly prohibits the taking of salmon except by hand rod, spear, or gaff for personal use and not for sale or barter in ANY OF THE WATERS OF ALASKA over which the United States has jur- |isdiction."
 The penalty for violation of this section is provided in section I6 of the same law: Any person company, or association violat- ing ANY PROVISION of THIS Act or of said Act of Congress or of any regulation made under tie authority of either, shall, upon conviction thereof, be pun |ished by fine not exceeding l $5, ,OOO or imprisonment for a term of not more than ninety days in the county jail, or by both such fine and imprison- ment." Every boat, seine, net trap and every other gear and appliance used i'll violation Of this Act or in violation of said Act approved June 26, 1906, and l. all fish taken therein or there with, shall be forfeited to the
 United States, and SHALL BE SEIZED and SOLD under the
 direction of the Court in which the forfeiture is declared, at pub r lie auction, and the proceeds thereof, after deducting the ex- penses, shall be disposed of as
 other fines and forfeitures under the laws relating to Alaska. Pro- ceedings for such forfeiture shall be in rem under the rules of Ad- miralty."
 There is not a canner who
 will or can deny the correctness of our charge that the Bureau
 of Fisheries is knowingly, delib- erately and Intentionally neglect ing its duties in overlooking en-
 forcement of Section 5 of the
 law of 1924. And further, every
 attorney for every cannery or trap operator knows that this prohibition operates against the traps just as surely as the Bu- reau of Fisheries invokes it against the fishermen.
 The "wrigglers" have a chance to nab a case in point and swear out complaint against operators for violation of Section 5 of the law of 1924. The District Attorney has no recourse but to carry such 8 case into court. But if the wrigglers sit in poolrooms and back of some comfortable stove, they will give a couple of verbal kicks, keel over and be- the empty shells of men wtloI fear the reprisals of the trap system.
