SALMON GAMERS PERPLEXED
 BY PR0RLEMs COMING SEASON

SEATTLE, February Is - Sal mon canners are in a dilemma and are seriously perplexed as to what course 10 follow. according to the Pacific Fisherman's February issue which is just off the press.
 Salmon eanners,a says the we'll known authority of the commercial fisheries. entering the new year with exceptionally large and expen- siYe inventories. and with prospects of a good-sized carryover into the next pack-year. are placed in a ser ious dilemma by pressure for fur ther advances in wages and fish prices. which would involve a heavy increase in their burdens of cost.
 Faced with the necessity Of mak- ing preparation well in advance. if they are going to operate at all, they are seriously Derplexed as to what course to follow.
 The increase in consumer de mand (due to advertising1. though obviously great. has not yet been sufficient to make up for the exeep- tional production of 1886, which was almost 2.400.00O cases or over 36 percent greater than the previous average. Last years pack was about 933000 cases above the average from 1926 to 1885. and no doubt fully equal to the present annual con- sumption.
 Packers stocks unsold on Feb ruary l totaled over 3.800.000 cases, while the largest movement from first hands of which we have record from January 1 to July 1 was slight ly over 2.500,000. On this basis a substantial carryover into the com ing pack-year seems inevitable and, if the 1888 production reaches nor nal figures, the possibility of any advance over present prices seems rather remote.
 Yet. if the labor cost is increased packers will face a certain loss un- less higher prices can be obtained.
 With the desires of organized la- bor on the one hand and a sluggish market on the other. they feel that they are placed between the upper and the neither millstone. and do not know which way to turn.
 For the present, with few ex- captions. definite plans for the com ing season are held in abeyance pending the adoption of new agree ments with the various unions.
 While the industry is sorely per plexed by these difficulties, it is felt that the necessities of the case are appreciated by the union mem bership in general, and packers hope that it will be possible to effect agreement on practicable, equitable terms without undue delay.
 If so. operations will undoubted- ly proceed on a normal scale. em- ploying fully as many as last year
 However. if too much difficulty should arise and arbitrary advances be insisted on, some curIailment and the closing of some canneries may be definitely expected; in such case it is not unlikely that some firms would be forced into bankruptcy, and the numbers employed would

LIQUOR QUESTION DEBATED
 BY YOUNG INDIAN STUDENTS

The d., question is attacked from various a.a,les in the January issue of the EertoYian, published by students of the Sheldon Jackson School, which is maintained at Sit ka by the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions for the natives of Alaska.
 Robert Martin. a high school junior wrote the following editorial:
 shall we let liquor lick us? We have liquor all around Us and we know it's evils, and it brings sor row and takes most Of our money. Yet we cannot quit taking it.
 They tell us that our Indian peo- pie are fast disappearing, and we know this is true because We see evil denees or 1t all about us. For ex- ample there is a man in Juneau whose oldest son was sent to the penitentiary two years ago, because he murdered 3 man in Hoonah. This man was so ashamed of what his son had done that he wouldn't nold up his head as he usually did. Knew liquor was the cause yet he did not stop drinking. Today he is sitting in Jail waiting to appear before the grand jury for the accidental shoot ing of his youngest son in a drunk en braWl. Everyone Of us should do everything in our power 10 prevent tragedies like this.
 Liquor has robbed us Of our leaders in the past and is now rob- bing us four future leaders. It is bin gus of our future leaders. It IS doing it's evil work among boys md girls or school age. It has made men who have been able leaders shirk their work and care less for the need of their people.
 The reason the younger genera ton is doing this is that they think they are being smart or that they have the mo one is going to tell me what" attitude. Even some Of the older men have the same attitude.
 Are We men or are we just jelly fish The time has come for us to start using the word NO, and us- ing it effectively. You will not lose any friends ii you say no to them. IL will be the other way around. Peaple will think more of you and trust you more if you don't use liquor. Liquor will not lick Us if We use little will power and learn to say mo-"
 Margaret Kitka, also high school junior, under the title Of 'I Hate It. submitted the following:
 I've seen liquor and hate it: know the effects Of liquor by watch ing it effectively. You will not lose it. Drunken people are leading their children to the wide and open road to alcoholic destruction.
 Liquor has destroyed many a human being and pulled him so Tar down that there is hardly a chance for him to work his way up again. These people live in poo rhomes with out electric lights. They have to- carry water because they can't af- ford to pay taxes. They are always borrowing a pinch of salt, an egg, or a handful of mtches because they crave liquor more than the things that they need.
 But what are people doing about it? Nothing! Instead of coming to their aid they come in with case of beer to show them friendship. If any person came to my door with a bottle. I'd shut the door in his face. I'd rather be friendless than to have a friend who was always trying to make me have a good time by drink ing"

 During the last two years the newer organizations of employees in the canned salmon industry have learned much. not only about the industry's economic position but about the business-like conduct of their union affairs and relations with the employers This knowledge in itself should obyiate a good many causes of friction and vexatious minor differences that have arisen in the past, and lead to more ami cable relations. provided the work CTS and packers can agree on major terms of employment that will be satisfactory to both sides"

Wide Powers for President

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S reor-
ganization bill squeezed through
the senate by the close vote of 40
to AZ, after a fierce fight. A mo-
ton to recommit, which would have
virtually killed the measure, was
defeated by a vote of 48 to 43.
Opponents of this bill are con-
vinced that it paves the way for
a dictatorship in the United States.
The measure was sent on to the
house, which already has passed
bills covering some Of its features.
There is no certainty, however, that
the senate measure will ever be
brought to a vote in the house.
Chairman O'Connor of the rules
committee said it should be allowed
to slumber peacefully in some pig
eonhole.
The bill authorizes the President,
by executive order, to transfer, re-
group, coordinate, consolidate, seq
regate the whole or any part Of or
abolish any of the 135 bureaus, agen-
cies, and divisions of government.
Excepted from this section, how
ever, are the federal reserve board,
the corps of engineers of the Unit
ed States army and the Independent,
quasi-iudicial and regulatory estab-
ishments, such as the board of tax
appeals, the communications COM
mission, the federal trade COM
mission, the interstate commerce
commission, and the national labor
relations board.

Goering said he had intrusted the

There was great rejoicing
throughout Germany when Cardinal
Innetzer, archbishop of Vienna, is
sued solemn declaration urging the
people Of Austria, most of whom are
Catholics, to vote for the union with
Germany at the plebiscite on April
10. The document was read in all
Catholic churches. It warmly
praised the Nazi rulers and pledged
allegiance to Germany. This stand
of the Catholic hierarchy made GER
tain an overwhelming victory for
Hitler in the plebiscite. It also led
the Nazi chiefs to hope for a new
accord with the Vatican.

said: "I cannot imagine any events
in Europe which would change the
fundamental basis of British for

However, that does not mean that
nothing would make us fight"
Cheers greeted this declaration.
Though he said central Europe
was not an area where vital British
interests are at stake, he gave plain
warning that if German aggression
should result in war there, Britain
might be forced into it.
He fatty turned down Soviet Rus

Utilities Must Register

IN A to l decision, the United
States Supreme court upheld the
registration provisions of the Wheel
er-Rayburn public utility act of
1885, but did not pass on the con-

law, including the death sentence
for holding companies.
The court sustained an order of
the New York Federal District court
requiring the Electric Bond and
Share company and IA associated
utility holding companies to register
with the Securities and Exchange
commission or else be denied the
use of the mails and other facilities
of interstate commerce.
Chief Justice Hughes delivered the
courts opinion. Justice McReynolds,

dissenter. Justice Cardozo, who is

Learners Are Doors

Many people fail because they
pretend they can do the thing be-

how to do it. A great inventor
once made a mess of things when
he was expected to give a great

had never spoken publicly in his

things is important. Learning TO
play the piano is hard work, as is
learning to do anything that is
worth doing. The learners are the
greatest doors. And learning Is
always costly.
