No. 45 SIXTEENTH YEAR SKAGWAY, ALASKA. TUESDAY, MARCH '25, 1913 PBICK 10 CENTS
Juneau. March 25 ? The fish
ing interests will have their hear
ing before the Joint committee on
fisheries April 1, at vhich time the
anti f<sh trap aud antl alien fish
in bills will be discussed.
Cannery operators, owners of fish
tiaps. superintendents of packing
concerns and all the allied interests
?re gathering in Juneau to fight
the proposed abolition of the fish
trap and the proposed prevention of
foreigners from fishing in Alaska
waters. Big cannery interests of
the Sound and California, who own
the Alaska fisheries, have their
agents hen? and the wires are kept
ot transmitting sad MM!! til'*
on methods of Influencing legisla
tion. Almost every boat brings In
a number of supporters of the fish
trap, it being apparent that they in
tend. by the influence of their num
bers, and (>erhaps other influences,
to defeat the bills which Alaskans
have demanded.
As a sort of compromise for per
mitting the continuant of the fish
rap and the continuance of the em
ployment ot Chinamen and other
Asiatic labor, the cannery opera
tors have proposed a tax on the
fish traps. Whether they can
make this substitute work or not. is
owing to the backbone of the
j legislature.

EFFOBI FOStf UHIK
Juneau, March 25 ? Bills are
coming in at a rapid rate, covering
tne full scope of Alaska legislation,
and the committees are grinding
away in the hope of accomplishing
good results.*
?One of tne important bills intro
duced is intended to do away with
lobbying, the intent being to leave
the members of the legislature
perfectly free and uninfluenced to
accomplish their desired results. If
it passes it will rob the canneryman
and those opposed to the eight
hour law of much of their influ
ences.
The disposition of the members of
the legislature is to go slow and
consider well before passing a mea?
I ure.
While the people of Alaska are
walling for the clouds to roll by,
the Alaska. Packers' Association is
busy trying to get government title
to fish trap sites. ? Douglas News.

steamship Northwestern was in the
c.ty yesterday on the way to the
Troetward, the Joint labor commlt
'.qe of the legislature gave a hearing
'o a number of Insids mine opera
ton. Frank Manloy, Harry Badger
and Ton Altken were among the
i umber who spoke In opposition to
Hbe eight hour law, and they were
backed up by a number of other
placer operators, representing the
? iggenhelm and allied Interests.
It Is apparent that wery effort
known to politics la being used to
d fgat tb? eight hoar Uw. and from
present Indications the law as In
* aduced may have to b? modified
before It can pass the legUlatWs
blanches. Influences are being
brought to bear that seem to bs
shaking t'ns original intentions of
the supporters of the eight hour
bill, and It Is now generally predict
ed that some amendments will
hare to be conceded which will per
haps nullify operation of the law.
