PROTECTION OF OUR FISHERIES
 (By Al Cramer)

It seems there should be some ac- ton taken by our Chamber of Com merce also all our business men and every public spirited citizen in re- gards to our fishing industries, namely, the halibut fleet, trollers and salmon cannery men. Everyone should realize that the reduction plants situated at the entrance of Chatham Straits operating entirely on herring during the summer months are a menace to the entire fishing industry. The herring oil obtained is chiefly used for the paint industry and the meal as a fertilizer.
 In years gone by there were thousands of farmers raising flax and the seeds were used in the mak- ing of oil, but as herring were so plentiful and it took so little capi- tai to reduce them to oil the farmer had to turn to some other commod- ity. The herring reduction plants ought to be done away with. Do a lot of you people stop to think that there are millions of dollars invested in our Alaska fishing fleets that fish entirely for food fish for your table, which employ several thous- and men to get these fish, not talk ing in consideration the cold stor- ages that have big investment and the labor that is also employed by them? Then there are sawmills which furnish Timber for boxes to pack the frozen article; then there are the factories that make all the gear and lines used, of which there are several hundred thousand dol- lars worth planted in the sea every year that is never recovered.
 So far, the fisherman has been fighting this battle alone. You can all remember if you have lived here in Alaska for 20 years. that before there were any herring reduction plants our inland waters had an abundance of fish and herring sum- mer and winter. What do you find today? Nothing; there was no fro- zen bait in any cold storage in southeastern Alaska this season un- til few days ago, when there were few herring taken at Craig which means a haul of 24 hours to any cold storage from that point which is not any too good to insure first class bait.
 Now, the fishermen ask you to| help protect our great fish industry that supplies the finest food fish for the world'a market.

dous strength in those powerful canine jaws.
 Personally, have no grudge against the bear; without him 1his country would scarcely seem natural but in some parts of Southeastern Alaska, he has become so plentiful as to be almost a nuisance. In many parts he has we'll worn highways and only those who have occasion to investigate can realize just how numerous these animals are.
 In closing, perhaps I should have stated that all beaver houses have a yentilating aperture at or near the top, that Is enclosed by net work of interwoyen sticks This en- ables them to scent any approach ing danger and likewise attracts other animals such as bear and wolves.

Speeded Up Production, Is as Well

, beets. Very we'll. She and her fellow
workers weeded and watered the fields
as no fields have ever been weeded or
watered before. They got twice the
normal yield in beets. A pretty girl,
Maria could also turn pretty phrase,
and she said, I'VE want to powder our
beloved fatherland with sugar"
These young people not only became
the aristocrats of Soviet Russia but
they gave the emotional stimulus to
Stalin's carefully thought-out speed
up plan. Seventy per cent of the
workers were already on piecework
basis in 1885 (about 80 per cent now,
so that the profit incentive for in
creased production was at hand. In
combating "nichevo" and the feeling
that work is not bear which will
run away" the emotional appeal is
perhaps more important In Russia.
Young Alexey Stakhanov was not
without forebears. however, in giving
the semblance of spontaneity to
scheme imposed from above. Plans to
increase production we're many and
frequent. 1t is a mistake. too, to un-
derestimate the idealism, unselfishness
and enthusiasm of loyal Communists.
They worked on the theory that the
state belongs to them and that the
faster they increase its wealth and
move it out of the period of crisis the
quicker there will be good things of
life to be distributed to all, greater
variety of goods at lower prices.
This was the motive in the early
days behind "Saturdayings." People
voluntarily offered their holidays to
help at the million and one tasks that
remained in cleaning up the wreck
age from the civil war and getting
the Socialist state under way. Even
Lenin worked regularly in the Krem-
lin yard. removing timber and debris
| cleaning up. In the same way the
Young ComSomolS of Leningrad
pledged themselves not to take holi-
days and not to let the few machines
they had lie idle when so much needed
to be produced
100000 Aided Plan.
| Within two years this movement
had enrolled 100000 members in
| brigades to work free on cost ac-
counting, on studies to increase stand
ards and similar brigades. From this
grew the idea of shock brigades and
competition. One factory entered into
production competition with an
other and men worked many hours
overtime without compensation in
order to complete schedules or surpass
rival brigades.
Finally, when the workers were
pretty exhausted with cheer leaders
and ''hoopla," Stain swerved in 1881.
He did away with the system of equal
wages and introduced the piecework
system throughout all industry. Then
and now craftsmen are paid by the
square inch of work done, regardless
OF quality, and iron puddlers on a
basis of production. This shifted the
emphasis to the individual who had a
profit motive.
The individual was paid on the
basis OF norm-the quantity of out
put emitting him to his basic daily
waee-so this led Immediately to the
"udarnik," man who passes his
production wage and earns premium.
The Stakhanovite worker. therefore,
Is really only an "udarnik" working
in a team or shift.
