ENTIRE BRISTOL BAY AREA TO
 BE CLOSED 1885 TO FISHING

SEATTLE, July 28.-Frank T. Bell, United States commissioner of fisheries who returned here from a trip through Alaska during which he studied the fisheries situation, last night dropped a bombshell on the salmon industry with the an- noun cement that the entire Bristol bay area would be closed to fishing next year in an effort to rebuild the short year of the run.
 The fisheries commissioner spent the past six weeks on a tour of the fishing areas in the Territory. He arrived here yesterday on the bu- eau of fisheries vessel Brant
 Bell said that the amount of the pack in Bristol bay this year will amount to approximately 100000 cases, and stated his belief that the industry could afford to lay off for a year.
 Five-Year Cycle
 ''The fish have a five-year cycle. In 1920 the run was practically a failure In 1925 the pack was a little better, but in 1930 was as flat as a pancake. I want to see what a complete lay-off will do" the fisheries commissioner said.
 He reported that the seal harvest at the Pribilof islands this season is expected to amount to 60,000 skins, in comparison with the 54,- 900 belts taken last year.
 The announcement of the closing of Bristol bay to fishing next year was made at a meeting of the Pa cific Canned Salmon association here and was accepted by canners as meaning a boon to the canning and marketing departments of the industry
 P. B. McGovern, president of the association, said that eastern job bers are remaining out of the mar ket in anticipation Of dumping by interests controlling a large part of the 1894 red pack and much of the carryover from last year.
 'This action will promote imme- diate buying in the market as the eastern brokers now will be forced to buy to cover their commitments, McGovern said.
 He added that the action of the fisheries commissioner, while not necessarily causing an increase in prices for canned salmon, would prevent demoralization. of tn market.

Communist Candidate
Wins Battle for Loan
To Halt Foreclosure

NEW YORK. John Kryzak,
World War veteran, leader in the
Relief Workers League and Com
munist candidate for state Senator
on the Communist ticket in Rich
mond, Staten Island, has just won
fight of more than year to pre-
vent foreclosure on his home at 1876
Wooley Ave. Backed by other small
home owners in the Home Defense
League, Kryzak compelled the Fed
eral Home Owners Loan Corporation
to take up a mortgage which was
foreclosed in February, 1888.
Militant action by the Home De-
Tense League prevented Kayaks
eviction while he was struggling
with Rooseveltian red tape in his
effort to get the loan which was
finally granted late last year.
On Monday the $4,884.80 judg-
ment was expunged from the rec
ords of the Richmond County Clerk
and Kryzak will now have ample
time to prosecute his campaign for
election to the State Senate on the
Communist ticket.

they were brushed aside and the
Negro and white young workers &C.
cupied the pool.
The proprietor called state
trooper who attempted to arrest
two of the comrades for "incitine
to riot" and assault and battery !"
However, due to the protest of the
assembled workers the proprietor
was forced to drop the charges.
AS a result of the action several
young workers joined the Y. G. l..
1t was the opinion of most of the
young workers that this was the
best picnic they ever attended

of Cleveland consumers against the
Jewish Master Bakers in protest
against the increased price of
bread continues with reported
drop of rs per cent in bakery prod
ucts sales as a result of picketing

giving the bosses free hand to
shoot the prices sky-high. Suisse
quently they raised prices from
eight to eleven cents on bread and
from fifteen to twenty cents on
rolls.

United Front Election
Conference August 10
For Upper Michigan

HANCOCK, Mich, Aug. g.
Declaring that the real issues in
the fall elections center around the
sufferings OF workers and farmers
resulting from the crisis, the Com
munist Party campaign committee
for Upper Michigan has issued a
call for united front conference
on Aug. 10 at Negaunee, Michigan,
to ratify a State platform and can
didates.
The call for the convention says,
in part:
Governor Comstock the Demo-
crat is just as ably as his Republican
predecessors, carrying through the
policy of the ruling class in Mich
igan. He used the State Police to
break the Briggs strike, he closed
the banks at the request of Gen
eral Motors, resulting in the loss
of the peoples hard earned money
With the support of Republicans the
Democratic Party in Michigan has
lowered the taxes of the mining
corporations and manufacturers
while at the same time, placing the
burden on the toiling masses thru
the obnoxious sales and head
taxes.
This conference should unite the
ranks of the workers and farmers
in the coming election campaign
around a struggle for unemploy-
ment insurance; foc the thirty-hour
week without reduction in pay;
against the low wages; against the
attacks on workers rights, especially
the most oppressed sections, the
foreign-born and Negro workers;
for a struggle against imperialist
war and fascism and for a revolu-
tionary workers government"

there has been little Improvement
in the work Of getting the candi-
dates petitions filled.
Out Of total Of 100000 sigma

In two districts the deadline for

Commenting on the fact that only
500 signatures were turned into the
campaign Office in the last week.
A. Guss, State campaign manager
stated:
This weeks showing in the drive
to put our fellow-workers on the
ballot is miserable. I have no desire
to appear as a calamity bowler, but
there must be radical change in
the speed Of our work. Thousands
Of workers throughout the district
supporting our Party, are ready to
sign our petitions. Yet We do not
go after them.
TN one State senatorial district
on the South Side our candidate
received $4,000 votes in 1892. That
same district has collected less than
500 signatures this year.
IF this was because our Partys
influence had declined in the two
years, it would be easy to under
stand But this is not true. We
have led and are leading mass
struggles in that neighborhood, and
throughout the city.
There is no excuse for failure to
place our candidates on the ballot.
There will be no excuse for our
failure to elect many of them to
Office. All that is required is inten-
sive, day to day work, going from
house to house, getting the sigma
lures of our thousands of support
ters, and the even greater number
that we can win to support the only
working class ticket.
Evidence of the increasingly broad
support Of the Communist ticket
was shown today when representa-
tives Of Bakers Local 1877 of the A.
F. Of L. came to the campaign head
quarters at 101 s. Wells st. and
secured petition and collection lists
for the campaign. Local 1877 has
800 members.
All workers having filled out pc
tition and collection lists should
rush them into the campaign head
quarters at 101 S. Wells st. or to
their local headquarters.
