can any justification be made Of such federal official lending of power and influence to vested interests to destroy the invest nlents and earning power of re- sldent fishermen. Instead of at tempted justification, there should be absolute condemnation for there is no denying that the Welch Bill was introduced only for ulterior purposes and not for the conservation of Alaska s salmon.

nAIR- RAISING DANGERS
 RISKED TO SHOOT
 REALISTIC WRECX X

To stage the sensational rail road catastrophe for the feature picture "Other Mems Women which is showing at the Coli sem tonight and toworrow night Warner Bros. chartered three trains, several miles of aban- doned track and sent four hun dred men and women into the wild Cariso Gorge country near the Mexican border.
 One of the special trains did not return. It was sacrificed to the idol of the motion picture public-spectacle. In the wild and mountainous country east of San Diego and close to the in- ternational, border between Mexico and the United States are the abandoned tracks of an old spur railroad bed. They are notched into the sides of the Cariso gorge and provide a na- |tural setting for a spectacular train wreck.
 It is no longer lawful to use either standard railroad equip ment or tracks in staging mo- tion picture Wrecks. Consequent ly Warner Bros. leased the a. bandoned roadbed and bought the ill-fated locomotive and freight train equipment out right. A spectacular railroad ac- Cident requires an infinite a. mount of labor on the part ot motion picture crews and a pe- culiar combination of natural forces and detailed plans. The picture, Other Me-'s Womer,' which features Grant Wither: and Mary Astor and a stelle, supporting cast, provides two thrilling sequences, an acciden- tai collision between freight trains and the loss of a complete train in a raging mountain torrent.
 The Cariso Gorge, out of Ja- camba, is the ideal location fo1 such difficult sequences. With headquarters in Jacumba tn: company moved a tremendous amount of necessary equipment to the edge of the gorge.
 Several of the scenes were made at night, making it neces sary to send generators and storage batteries and truck trains of studio lights some three hundred miles overland from the studio.

SEATTLE PACKER OBJECTS
 TO WEIGH BILL

A. H. Bradford of Seattle, Op- orator of a small floating can nery in the Bristol Bay district, owned mostly by Alaskans, ap~ peared before the Committee or Merchant Marine, Radio and Fisheries and objected strenu- ously to passage of the Welch Bill which is aimed at the fur ther regulation of Alaska Fish cries.
 MT. Bradford interpreted the bill as a move in favor of shore companies to put floating can neries out of business. He said tie fishermen of his company exclusively Alaskan residents, had been discriminated against by shore companies who import ed fishermen, from San Francis co who called themselves Alas ka Fishermen'S Union" He read letters from Alaska fishermen, pleading with him to continue his cannery as the only one that had given them a chance to earn a decent livelihood. He further declared that if the floating cannery operators must report prior to December 31st each year as to whether or not they will operate is a discrimination in that the same rule IS not made to apply to shore con:- panies which is an unfair dis elimination.
 The injustice of such a regu- lation is pointed out. Up to this week it has been reported from Seattle that the Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation would not operate it's canneries in Alaska save at Port Althrop. Under the ruling of the Welch Bill, this company would be prohibited from operating any of their can- neries save Port Althrop-if they were floaters-but being shore companies, the Bureau of Fish cries does not feel that they should be bound by the same rules as would govern the float ing canneries.
 It has been pointed out ir these columns that shore com panies transport large quanti- ties of salmon from one district into another. That instead o1 transporting salmon, the float ing canneries move their plant to other salmon districts and being only small operators they do not take as much seed from spawning areas as do the larger shore companies. That if it is right to prohibit the floating canneries from moving from one district to another, it should be equally proper that shore com ranies be prohibited from trans porting salmon from one dis trict to another.
 It is pointed out that MT O'Malley has given his influence personally and the power of the Bureau of Fisheries and the Secretary of Commerce to dis criminate against the small op- orator in order that the large shore companies might operate without competitions especially an the red salmon districts.

TOPEKA. Kans., September 28.-
Reelection Of President Hoover was
held out last night by DR.. Daniel A.

as way to safeguard the gains made
under prohibition"
The head of the organization sup
porting prohibition chose the home
city Of Vice President Curtis for the
opening speech Of a series Of POI he
plans to deliver in 81 States.
'The ISSUE" DR.. Polling said in a
prepared address, "is not the eighteenth
amendment but freedom Of conscience.
"Our Endorsement of President Hoover
Is based upon the belief that, in con-
trast with Gov. Roosevelt, his election
will safeguard the gains made under
prohibition, will move toward the elm
nation of existing evils resulting from
non observance and non-enforcement
in some communities, will prevent
naked repeal and the return Of the sa-
loon system, will not commit any pub
lie officer or candidate to any policy Of
repeal or modification against his own
conscience or the sentiment of his con-
stituency, and will confirm the prin-
ciple of Federal control for the ma
tional problem.
DR.. Polling said the Democratic plank
would, "as we see it, destroy the eight
eenth amendment by legalizing beer
and other alcoholic liquors in spite of
the Constitution"

FAILURES DROP
UNSEASONAL

Failures for the week ending
December % made the most url-
satisfactory showing in q good
many weeks. The number OF
defaults, as reported by Brad
streets weekly, were 457, only
one less than during the preced-
ing week.
Ordinarily at this time
temporary, but sharp contraction
is to be expected as Christmas
purchases reach their height
and for a brief time stave off
the failure of wavering retail
concerns. The lack Of any such
abatement in this years tide OF
defaults is further testimony of
the unsatisfactory nature Of 1892
holiday trade.
Rejecting these conditions, the
weekly failures index, compiled
by BradStreet's, rose from 94.5
to 117.7 per cent of the 1928-30
average. At this point it is now
higher than it has been since
October 20, but it still remains
below the corresponding figure
last year of 1885.
