Mr John M. Holzworth, President
National Association of Wild Life
Conservationists, Inc.,
New York, New York
My dear Sir:
I have your lengthy letter with
printed circulars relating to
protection of the Alaska brown
bear and the establishment of
further reserved areas for the
protection of these animals.
| Why does not your organiza
tion spend its time doing some
thing realy constructive for the
benefit of the Territory instead
cf wasting its time protecting a
few brown bear. Aside from be
ing a biological specimen can
you point to any good the bear
contributes to mankind? Oh yes,
I forgot, it provides an outlet for
the killer spirit of the big game
“sportsmen.”
If you wish to do something
worthwhile with your organiza
tion, get them to study the fish
eries of Alaska, its maladminis
tration and destruction. The en
tire fishing season from May
until August in Southeastern
Alaska is destroyed by and with
the protection of the federal re
gulations as administered by
Mr. O’Malley. The herring fish
ery is destroyed—please read up
the special investigations of
George Rounsfell, Jr., of the Bu
reau of Fisheries.
I am an Indian and our press
speaks the thoughts and ideas
of the Alaskan Indian. We are
not destructionists as far as our
wild life resources are concerned.
The Indian in the past taught
his children to conserve fish and
game for future food and cloth
ing. Deer were never killed for
ti:e fun or lust of killing—they
were killed only for food. Beaver
were trapped in such a way that
only the larger ones entered the
traps; the Yakutat Indian War
with the Russians was merely
the objections of those people to
the ruthless destruction of the
seaotter. We killed our bear for
food and for its fur and for the
protection of our people. Since
the protectionists have gotten
hold the situation these animals
are becoming a nuisance. There
are countless instances of at
tacks and escapes of our peoples
;n the hills from these animals,
that never get into the paper—
your 250 experiences to the con
trary. When you come to Alaska
and show us a picture of your
self feeding the bear in his wild
habitat to prove to us that they
aie not ferocious, when you
bump into a sleeping bear as did
Thayer; when you pack a deer
out of the hills and meet one of
these animals on your trail and
shoo him off, giving us a picture

of your actions, we might sup
port you in your desire to es
tablish more reservations in
Alaska.
We have Indian reservations,
fishery reservations, forest re
servations, game bird reserva
tions, mineral reservations .land
reservations—inhabitions and
prohibitions to satisfy the most
bureaucratic proponent. Instead
of adding to the damned nui
sance, we want freedom from
them. Your idea of reservating
the several islands in Alaska is
all wet. Those officials favoring
It never publish their names -
they are afraid to—but they
permit their official position to
speak for them—providing you
do not mention their position.
But as far as my people are con
cerned, we want no further pro
tection for the bear or reserva
tions either.
Very truly yours
Louis F .Paul

JUDGES WILKERSON
APPOINTMENT UNDER FIRE
i
Richberg gave a statement of
tile case—the contracts between
the several groups had expired
cn a Sunday. Negotiations be
tween the movie houses and the
union had been going on for
some time but some of the
managers had definitely refused
to renew contracts on any basis
acceptable to the players.
On Sunday, without notice of
any kind whatsoever, Wilkerson
issued a temporary order re
straining the union, its officers
and members “From insisting
upon the terms and conditions
of employment which they were
seeking in new contracts. From
striking or calling a strike. From
leaving or threatening to leave
their employment without the
consent of their employers;
from enforcing the by-laws of
the union against its members.
When Richberg had comtleted
reading the injunction, Senators
Borah, Walsh and Dill looked as
incredulous as a group of sur
geons might look if told that a
fellow doctor had cut a patient’s
ears off while lancing a boil cn
his neck.
“If a man cannot quit work
without his employer’s consent- -
work which he has not contract
ed to do—what is the difference
between his condition and in
voluntary servitude?” asked
Walsh. “I don’t know of any
difference, Senator,” replied
Richberg.
An injunction issued by Judge
James H. Wilkerson of Chicago
shocked the members of the
Senate Investigating Committee
nearly out of their shoes when
Donald R. Richberg read it to
them recently. They had great
difficulty in believing that any
judge could issue such an order,
and then they grasped the as
tounding facts, their faces were
grim, states LABOR.
Mr. Richberg concluded his
presentation on behalf of the
railroad workers who are op
posing President Hoover’s at
tempt to “promote” Wilkerson
to the U. S. Circuit Court—just
one step removed from the
Supreme Court.
Mr. Richberg referred to the
Musicians case as “An example
| of intolerable abuse of injunc
tions was given by Judge Wilk
erson in a series of cases against
the Musicians’ Union of Chicago
in 1928. He enjoined the union,
its officers and members from
leaving or threatening to leave
their employment without the
consent of their employers—”
“What was that!” exclaimed
Senator Borah.
Richberg repeated his state
ment. Borah seemed hardly to
believe his ears. Walsh of Mon
tana leaned over the table,
| bushy brows a-bristle, and after
! assuring himself that Richberg
I was entirely serious, said: “Read
the order in which he said that,
please!”

DEFINITION FOR BUREAUS
-x
Senator Moses, president pro
tern of the Senate declares that
Bureaus “are weird devices to
thrust the government nto do
ing what the community should
do.” A bureaucrat must then be
a person who devises schemes
to place upon the government
schemes which would take from
communities initiative action by
thrusting those things upon the
government through the bu
reaus.
-x
SAVING MONEY
-x
The national administration
wishes to economize on govern
mental expenses. We humbly
suggest that it begin by doing
away with the Bureau of Fish
eries and letting the states and
territories handle those affairs
themselves. Certainly they would
do no worse than the Bureau
has in the past years of its ad
ministration and no one can
deny that abolition of the bu
reau would be a big saving to
the government.

KETCHIKAN AND HOME RULE
-X
The Ketchikan Chronicle
takes all home rule advocates to
task in a strong editorial pub
lished recently and in which It
seeks to show that Alaska's
claim for emancipation from
bureaucratic rule is paradoxical,
citing as the foundation for its
viewpoint the protest against
the sale of the Alaska cable and
communication service. Upon
this incident the Chronicle seeks
to rear up the premise that it is
better for the Territory to go a
long in the guise of subjects of
bureaucracy than to endeavor
to manage its own affairs. Which
is a polite way of saying that
Alaska does not boast men cap
able of dealing with those inti
mate questions that come into
contact with one’s daily activi
ties.
One can agree with the Chro
nicle that protesting against the
sale of the cable might giae the,
impression that Alaska was not
willing to assume the burden of
self-government, provided the
question was predicted solely on
the cable item. But it resorts to
sophistry when it seeks to prove
the case by an exceptional in
cident.
It would be interesting to
know what the Chronicle thinks
about the bureaucratis action
which demands that all island
fur farmers pay up $250 of va
cate the islands. Does it believe
that Alaskans would order such
thing if the administration of
such things was reposed in the
Territory instead of the Depart
ment of Agriculture?— Seward

REPUBLICAN ASSET
-x
A writer for the Washington
• Post”— one of Mr. Hoover’s
| n> o s t consistent supporters
Isays: “George Moses and “Jim”i
Watson are both credited with*
saying that ‘the Democrats are,
the Republican party’s biggest |
asset. It is a fact that the Demo - i
crats can be counted upon to.
| do their best to throw the elec- j
ition to the Republicans. When]
• things look gloomiest to the Re-1
I publicans, the Democrats will
almost certainly go to their |
1 rescue. They will do by fighting
[among themselves, -or by the
most incredible blunders; or, in
cases of extreme necessity, when
Republicans need help most, by
! cimmitting political hara kari.” j
It is being stated that Presi-|
dent Hoover’s stock did some
' skyrocketing recently because of
the appointment of Judge Car
dozo to the Supreme Bench -
but those Senate Democrats who j
voted against the relief for the,
unemployed did more to rocket
Hoover’s chances than anything
else.
