Former Federal Man Says
Safefy-df- Sea -Hysferia
Is Working Hardships
SAYS ALASKA STEAM
Seeking MONOPOLY"
Subcommittee owes
Exemption Of Vessels
Under 100 Tons

WASHINGTON. March 6.-Jo-
seph Weaver. former Chief of the
Governments Maritime Inspection
forces, today told a Senate Com
merce Subcommittee that the "hys-
terra for safety at sea-" is working
undue hardship on the West Coast
fishing industry.
Weaver asked the Subcommittee to
approve the bill introduced by SEN
ator Charles L. McNary that will
exempt fishing vessels from certain
Federal regulations. saying it will
relieve large West Coast fishing
companies from the burdens OF
meeting passenger ship require
ments.
Opposing the legislation, Ralph
Emerson, legislative representative
Of the CLIO Maritime and Fishery
unions said: 1T takes us back
thirty or forty years to the ships
known among fishermen as Hell
ships, in which men were crowded
like cattle and treated like cat
tle."
Opposition to Bill
Emerson said $4,000 Pacific Coast
and Alaska fishermen are opposed
to the bill
Weaver complained that fisheries
companies operating to Bristol Bay
have been forced to spend a halt
million or more dollars in meeting
Fe deral Maritime requirements
that brought no good"
Further, Weaver charged that the
Alaska Steamship Company has
forced the stringent regulations
because they want to have COM
plete monopoly
Weaver said he is representing
the Alaska Pacific Association, Lib
by, Mcneil and Libby. Red Salmon
Canning Company, Columbia River
Packers Association and many

Exemptions Proposed
At the same hearing, the Com
merce Subcommittee approved a
bill to exempt all boats of a. hun
bred tons or less from regulations
under the International Seamens
Labor Standards treaty which be-
comes effective in October.
Senators agreed with witnesses
that small fishing boats operating
out of New England and West Coast
ports shouldn't be covered by the
regulations because they handled
no passengers or freight.
The representative of the Alaska
Steamship Company asked that the
exemptions be limited to fishing
and pleasure craft.

PORTLAND, Oregon, March g.
Longshoremen, apparently taking
the cue from tremendously polite
Chinese pickets, not only refused to
load scrap iron for Japan on the
Greek freighter Ann Stathatou but
also extended the waterfront ethics
to embrace British grain car
rier.
Forty four dock workers halted In
Difference to 500 apologize Orientals
lined up at Terminal No. to pro-
test to loading Of American junk
which they claimed is destined to
melting pots in Japan 10 be made
into munitions for the conflict In
China.
Eight men Of gang passed
through the line to load grain on
the British Motorship Ardangorm.
Although the grain Is consigned ia
the United Kingdom, the longshore-
men decided that the Chinese picket
line included the entire Terminal
and the men Were ordered back
through the line and loading Of the
motorship stopped
Last week, Chinese pickets held
up loading of American junk for
Japan for nine days at Astoria,
Oregon. then the Post Commission
announced loading would proceed
but no further shipments for the
Orient would be received

on a particular day.
"What is the difference? Leader
ship and moral" Mr.. Fetzer said.
'You can lead where you can't
drive" he advised the coaches. "The
coach whose only hold is fear is not
doing a jog like the man who is in
there working with, leading and in
spring his boys. You as coaches also
have to provide the confidence, stay
ing power, and fight your boys need
to steady them"
Mr.. Fetzer also stressed the i'm
portance in building morale OF good
physical condition, of not overwork-
ing the boys if they are to do their
best on Saturday, and of building up
athletic tradition among players anu
students.
"I know, some people scott at a
losing coach as building character
and a winner as teaching football :,
he said "But if a coach is sincere in
his efforts to mold spirit and build
character, he is in position to take
any such ridicule, and in the end he
will come out on top and win his
share of victories, too"

81 Deacons To Report
For Grid Drills At Wake
Forest On September l

believed that it will be Edwards or
Ringgold, although both OF these
boys are top-flight performers.
There's no way of knowing just
who Coach Walker will have run
ming on his first string eleven this
fall, because he doesn't know him
self who will fill all the positions,
even for the first practice session.
But one guess by an outsider is
probably as good as another, and to
your writer, the 1889 club will
shape up something like this-Jett
and Woolbert, ends; Captain Pate
and Crabtree, tackles; Trunzo and
Tingle, guards; Pendergast, center;
Mayberry, Gallovich, Polanski, and
Edwards or Ringgold, backs.
In spring practice, Eddie Wool
bert, senior letterman, completely
routed Bill Vanden Dries from the
right flank post, and there is little
doubt but that the former will
hold the No. spot at the start Of
drills next Friday.
With only two week., or 13 prac-
tice days ~ ~ exact, in which to
whip their boys into shape, the
Wake Forest mentors aren't plan
ming to lose much time with pre-
liminaries. The boys will be issued
light equipment the first two days,
but they will get right into signal
practice, pass defense and often
sive work, and other phases that
will necessitate a great amount Of
running.
While the Deacons are, no doubt
in a tough spot this year, what with
so much being expected of them,
all members of the squad are never
theless eagerly anticipating the
coming campaign and most of the
boys have written in to the coaches
that they expect to be in fine
physical condition and ready to go
at the first workout Friday NOR
ning.
