ARRIVES IN JUNEAU
Staff for Juneau Office
Comes in Today on
Vessel Brant

Nothing will be done by the Bu-
reau of Fisheries toward eliminate
ing fish traps until after hearings
on the subject have been held this
fall, Seaton Thompson, Assistant

today on his arrival here from

Secretary Of Commerce Harry
Hopkins has announced, Thompson
said, that hearings on the fish
trap question will be held at all
principal fishing centers in Alaska

In reference to demands by the

that salmon Gamers eliminate 20
percent of Southeast Alaska traps
this year. Thompson said the Blu
reau would take no part in the
controversy. the Bureau controlling
fish traps only in the interest OF
conservation and not "for econo-
mic reasons"
Stalemafe
The fish trap question has caused
widespread commotion in the South
east Alaska canning industry this
year. the unions demand for 20
percent elimination blocking nego-
tiations on prices and working con-
ditions for seiners.
Thompson secuted report from
Ketchikan that he had declined to
arbitrate between packers and SEM
ers" on the trap elimination ques-
ton. AS packers declare they will
not give up any fish trap locations
and as the union apparently is hold
ing firm in its demand for elimina-
ton of certain specified traps, there
Is no room left for arbitration, Mr..
Thompson said.
Administration of the Bureau of
Fisheries passes next month from
the Department of Commerce to
the Department Of the Interior,

what in doubt.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Air is all around us and at first
thought we might suppose it had
no weight. Tests have shown, how
ever, that it does have weight.
Before this I have told how the
air in a tank can be weighed. First
the tank, full of air, is placed on a
scale. Let us say it weighs an even
3 pounds. The air is pumped out
Of the tank and we look at the
scales again. They show weight
Of only 2 pounds and II ounces!
So we know that the air which was
pumped out had a weight of 4
ounces.
To find the weight of air in a
room we may figure III ounces for
each cubic foot. It is q bit more at
sea level and bit less at half mile
above sea level, but III ounces will
be fairly close figure.
In q little room feet square,
with a ceiling 8 feet high, there
would be 512 cubic feet. The air in
side such room would weigh 80
pounds and 6 ounces.
If air did not have weight a bal
loon could not rise. A balloon is
filled with gas lighter than air and
that fact gives 1t lifting power.
The pressure of air is not the
same thing as the weight. Tests
have shown that air pressure can
force water to rise in a tube. It
can raise the water as much as "a
feet.
