“UNFAITHFUL” PRESENTS
CHATTERTON AS BRIDE
FOR FIRST TIME IN
SERIES OF MARRIED ROLES
-x
Many times a wife but never a
bride—until now.
At last Ruth Chatterton’s
screen career, which has pre
sented her as a married woman
in eight pictures, brings her forth
as a bride on her wedding day in j
her latest dramatic hit, “Un
faithful,” the behind-the-mask
story of a husband the world
calls “good” and a wife the world
condemns as “bad.” “Unfaith
ful,” with Paul Lukas, Paul Ca
vanagh and Juliette Compton in
the leading support roles, will be
the attraction at the Coliseum
theatre, Sunday and Monday.
“Unfaithful” is the story of an
American girl who marries the
“catch” of the season, a hand
some, young aristocrat war-hero
and clubman. The girl is ecsta
tically happy, madly in love with
her husband, until she discovers
that the reputation he has built
up is merely a mask for under
cover love affairs. His particular
paramour is the wife of her own
brother. Unable to denounce her
husband without involving her
brother’s happiness, the girl
seeks the only way out of her
nerve-wracking position. She
let’s go; throws herself madly
into the reckless, reputation -
destroying pleasures.

We’re all more or less merci

wolfpack, mainly motivated by
expediency and lashed to given
goals by personal advantage.

H. R. 6483
-x
(Continued from last week).
The substance of the first
section of the bill H. R .6483,
under consideration, amending
the act of 1924, reads as follows:
Sec. 9. It shall be unlawful to
operate any cannery within the
jurisdiction of the United States
in Alaska unless a report shall
have been filed with the Secre
tary of Commerce not later than
December 1 of the preceding
calendar year, stating the pro
posed place or location of opera
tion, nor shall such a cannery
be operated in more than one
place or location in any calen
dar year: Provided, That in re
spect to operations in 1932 the
required information regarding
place or location of operations
may be filed within thirty days
after approval of this act.
Notice that the report provid
ed for in this section makes only
two requirements:
First, that it must state the
‘ proposed place or location of
operation” of cannery.
Second, “nor shall such a can
nery be operated in more than
one place or location in any
calendar year.”
These provisions are without
the slightest importance or force
to the shore canneries in Bristol
Bay or elsewhere in Alaska.
Their locations are on land, are
fixed and permanent, and their

operated “in more than one
place or location in any calendar
year,” or at all. These canneries
are big 1-story rough barn-like
lumber structures, constructed
on a wharf in front of their
shore sites. The cannery site is
a small tract of land to which
the company has a United States
patent in fee, through which a
stream of fresh water flows into
the bay. All the owners of these
shore canneries need to do to
comply with this section is to
make this formal report annual
ly stating “the proposed place or
location of operation.” Of course
their place or location of opera
tion can not be moved from
place to place during any calen
dar year, and the bill does not
require the company to operate
their cannery on making such a
report. They may operate or not,
as they please, and these two re
quirements do not affect them in
any respect. The section was in
tended only to apply against a
floating cannery on ship or ves
sel carrying flshcanning ma
chinery.
The hearings show that a
group of resident Alaska fisher
men, residing in the towns on
Bristol Bay, being unable to get
a foothold there, because of the
water-tight monopoly of the
shore sites, organized a coopera
tive association called the Alaska
Fishermen’s Cooperative Pack
ing Co. (Inc.), purchased a small
motor vessel called the Santa
Flavia, installed fish-canning
machinery on her and have for
two seasons operated her in
Bristol Bay in packing red salm
on during the short season, and
finishing their small pack in
other waters. Here fishing and
packing were conducted under
the same strict rules for the
conservation of fish that con
trolled the shore canneries. Her
pack amounted to less than 2
per cent of the pack on that bay,
leaving the 98 per cent plus to
the shore canneries.
The Commissioner of Fish
eries testified at the hearings
that there are but'five floating
canneries in Alaska waters, but
further evidence disclosed that
three of them are not floating
except as they are constructed
cn barges permanently chained
to wharves, and as much shore
canneries as those constructed
on wharves. The other one, de
scribed by two witness who own
it, does not fish in Bristol Bay,
but at points from 200 to 500
miles away from that bay. That
leaves only one other, the Santa
Flavia, owned by the Bristol Bay
resident fishermen, against
which this bill is aimed. The
whole matter thus becomes a
tempest in a teapot.
The combined shore cannery
corporations in Bristol Bay,
however, are permitted by this
bill to operate canneries “in
more than one place or location
in any calendar year,” while this
independent Alaska “floating”
cannery is forbidden to do so.
These Bristol Bay shore com
panies own barnlike cannery
sheds in every fishing area or
district in Alaska—in western,
central, and southeast Alaska—
with fish-canning machinery in
each. As an example: Libby, Mc
Neill & Libby, the fish canning
subsidiary of Swift & Co., the
Chicago meat trust, own and
operate 5 canneries in Bristol
Bay, 1 in central Alaska, and 6
in southeastern Alaska, a total
of 12 canneries in different areas
and districts. The Great Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Co. of America,
with its 15,000 chain stores in
the United States, owns and op
erates the Nakat Packing Co.
cannery in Bristol Bay, and 4
others in southeastern Alaska.
The Alaska Packers’ Association,
subsidiary of the California
Packing Corporation, owns and
operates 9 canneries in Bristol
Bay, 3 in central Alaska and 1
in southeastern Alaska. Of course
Beauty Shop 1
they can not move their barnlike
shor^e canneries into different
areas or districts, but it is per
fectly legal under this bill ana
present laws to move their ves
sels, fishermen, oriental crews,
and fishing gear from one to an
other district. If they do, the
Commissioner of Fisheries may
instantly limit the catch of
salmon by shortening the season
so as to equalize the escapement
cf fish, and he may do the same
thing if the floating cannery
carries its gear into another dis
trict. It is not the cannery or the
vessel which catches fish—that
is done by the gear, the nets and
traps.
In spite of all these admitted
facts, Congress is asked to be
properly shocked at and to pass
this bill to forbid two little
“floating” canneries owned and
operated by independent resi
dent Alaska fishermen from
carrying their gear and canning
machinery into the same dis
tricts or areas where the shore
cannery vessels legally carry
their additional gear, and pack
ing a small cargo from the same
waters under the same strict
rules and regulations which con
trol all cannery operations eith
er ashore or floating. In addition
to being a tempest in a teacup,
it is an attempt to induce Con
gress to forbid independent
Alaska fishermen from entering
into fair competition with the
I Bristol Bay monopoly, engaged
I for 25 years in controlling the
public fisheries in Alaska.
The second section of H. R.
6483 reads as follows:
Sec. 2. The second paragraph
of section 1 of such act is a
mended to read as follows:
“It shall be unlawful to im
port or bring into any place
subject to the jurisdiction of the
United States, for purposes other
than personal use and not for
sale or* barter, salmon from
waters outside the jurisdiction of
the United States taken north of
54 degrees and 40 minutes north
latitude, during any closed
period provided for by this act
or regulations made thereunder.”
This extraordinary provision is
an amendment to the last clause
in the act of Congress of June
6, 1924 (43 Stat. L. 464), repeated
in the act of June 18, 1926 (44
Stat. L. 752), which reads as
follows:
It shall be unlawful to import
cr bring into the Territory of
Alaska, for purposes other than
personal use and not for sale or
barter, salmon from waters out
side the jurisdiction of the Unit
ed States taken during any
