FIGHT RAGES OVER
FALLS FISHING BILL
Sportsmen and Commercial
Interests -Clash Before
Committee at Salem.
PORTLAND ANGLERS HEARD
.Representative Schuebel, of Oregon
City, Cuanip?8ns Present Open '
Kiver Warden for Act.
Decision Waits.
STATE CAPITOL Salem, Or.. Jan. 19.
(Special.) Game fishermen of Port
land and commercial fishermen of Ore
eon City Indulged in a lons-drawn-out
verbal battle before tho House com
mittee on fisheries tonight. Their con
troversy grew out of the Gill bill pro
viding for the eliminaton of commercial
ti-Mno- In the Willamette River be
tween the falls at Oregon City and the
Oswego bridge. The game fishermen
are united in support of the measure,
while the commercial fishermen oppose
it bitterly.
Each side was well represented to
night. From Portland came a delega
tion consisting of Lester W. Hum
phreys. Walter F. Backus and H. B.
Vanduzcr. Each spoke for the meas
ure. Oresron City was represented by
John Albright. Charles Gette. John
Krickson. Ed BJckner, Charjes Ebyand
Amy Magpon.
K. B. Clanton. Master Fish Warden
fipoke in support of the bill, but em
phasized the statement that he is not
representing the interests of the
sportsmen. .
, Kllliag of Sport Alleged.
"The present law destroys- all .game
fishing in the Willamette River." de
clared Mr. Humphreys. "When the
season opens on May 1, the net fisher
men come from the Columbia River
and take out all the salmon in the
course of three or four nights. The
records show that on the first night
after the season opened last year, the
net fishermen took out 54 tons, on the
second night 38 tons, on the third
night 25 tons and on the fourth night
13 tons. On the following nights there
were few flsh left."
He argued in favor of the bill on
the ground that it will enable the
salmon to go up over the falls to
spawn, thus providing eggs for the
propagation of the salmon industry and,
further, that by leaving the river open
for game fishing tourists would be at
tracted here annually in great num
bers, thus, leaving much money in the
state.
"If you are goipg to let those fel
low iro in there with nets," he said.
"you might as well take down ail the
bars and let them go in with dyna
mite." Only Three Fish Caught.
Mr. Humphreys said he made ten
trips to Oregon City last year and
caught only three fish.
"You had better come to Tillamook,
advised Tom Handley, a. member of the
committee from Tillamook County.
Mr. Backus attacked tho argument
of the Oregon City fishermen, who
contend there is plenty of time for
frame fishing in the. Willamette before
the commercial season opens May 1.
He said that . water conditions and
weather conditions make the sport un
successful during March and April.
In reply to the assertion of Warden
Clanton that it is necessary to elim
inate at least some of the commercial
fishing if the state is to have spawn
fP tho nneration of its hatcheries Rep
resentative Schuebel declared that he
has authentic reports mar. seine iiohc.
m,n have waded ankle deep through
oown on the banks of the Co
lumbia River. Mr.-Clanton replied that
the Willamette River is the omy
,..i imirnine around for the
chinook salmon.
i -,n t believe." said Mr. Schuebel,
stepping down from the platform upon
which the commmets
taking his place on the floor, that fel
lows who flsh with nets below the falls
takB away all the nsn.
Whv a vear ago last Summer 1
'went out below the falls in a boat after
the season was closed, and the salmon
were so thick that had they remained
xtlll I could have walked across the
river on their backs."
Caaaera Want Medium.
T Seufert and other cannerymen
sooice' briefly, urging the Legislature to
reach a medium between the present
law which permits seine fishing with
in S00 feet of the falls, and the bill
which would drive the commercial
fishermen below the Oswego bridge.
The cannerymen. they reported, have
manifested their desire to develop the
salmon industry by offering to pay -0
per cent more in license fees.
II J Barbey. a wholesale flsh dealer
of Fortland, opposed the bill on the
jrround that the people of Oregon are
unable to fret Chinook salmon from any
"ouYc. other than the Willamette at
Representative Schuebel presented the
case of the Oregon City commercial
fishermen and the people of that city
generally. He declared that even the
sportsmen of Oregon City favor the
present law. that they have all the
jiook and line fishing they want under
"the law. .
-You talk about your sportsmen, he
declared, "but not one of them is
spoTtsman enough to go down into his
pocket for a 5-cent piece to help
alone the fishing. They always want
the other fellow to do it. 1 am against
robbing the men who depend upon the
rishlns business at the falls of their
living. " the sportsman wants exer
cise and recreation that he talks about,
let him go and take a run around the
block."
Protest la Head.
He then read a report signed by a
committee of Oregon City business men
who protested against the bill. The
committee consisted of T. W. bullivan.
O. D. Eby. E. E. Brodle. Joseph i
Hedges. Mayor Linn E. Jones and M. r.
Latourette. ,
The fisheries committee reacneu w
i. ... thA nucstlon. but took it
under advisement. It is probable that
further open meetings will be held.
19. (Special.) Representative Cobb
todav introduced in the House a pro
posed concurrent resolution providing
for the appointment or a joini commit
tee of eSnaiors and Representatives to
confer with a like committee from the
State of Washington on legislation af
fecting the fishing industry in the Co
lumbia River.
HOLDING OP PAY FORBIDDEN
Bill Filed Establishing Rules on Dis
cliarging of Employes.
?TATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 19.
Special.) No longer will it be pos
sib. for employers to "hold out" the
wa& s of their employes who leave
their services either voluntarily or in-voluntarily-if
a measure introduced in
the House by Representative Olson, of
Multnomah, is enacted into law.
The bill provides that if an employe
leaves his employer he shall give at
least three days' notice, but that In the
event he does not, the employer can
not withhold his wages for more than
three days after he leaves. The em
ployer also is required to give three
days' notice to the employe, but if he
discharges him "on the spot" he will
have to pay the wages due the em
ploye immediately.
It is also provided that employes le
allowed half pay for all the time that
the employer is delinquent in his pay
ment beyond the three-day period and
the wages become a lien upon the em
ployer s property.

Columbia Fishing Gets Attention.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or. Jan.
I. W. W. Denied Jury Trial, Denounces
Court, Defies Officers and Is
Dragged Away to Jail.
ROSEBURG, Or., Jan. 19. (Special.)
Alleging that he was beaten and
choked by the officers when he pro
tested against the arrest of a number
of Industrial Workers of the World
here last Saturday night. George
Church, a prominent Roseburg Social
ist, today caused a warrant to be is
sued for the arrest of T. J. Williams,
Chief of Police.
Mr. Church, the officers charge. In
terfered with them when they at
tempted to arrest James Morgan, an
L W. W. speaker, on a charge of using
profane language. Mr. Church denies
that he interfered in their acts, and
contends that he simply questioned the
right of the police to kick and other
wise misuse the I. W. W. member.
The officer entered a plea of not
guilty and his trial has been set for
Friday. It will be held in the State
Court before a Jury.
Morgan, when arraigned today In
Police Court and denied a trial by a
jury because he did not deposit $6
with the record, became abusive and
declared he would appeal to the Con
stitution of the United States, which.
he asserted, granted a jury trial to any
defendant. As a result Morgan was
committed to jail for contempt of
court. Morgan challenged the officer
to lay hands upon him, .whereupon he
was dragged down the aisle to the jail.
Three other Industrial Workers en
tered pleas of not guilty and will be
tried separately Thursday. They were
released from custody on bail furnished
by Mr. Church. Seven Industrial
Workers were dismissed, after being
apprised that they would not be al
lowed to speak on the business streets
of the city. They promised to leave the
city.
The trial of Mr. Church on a charge
of assault has been set for Thursday.
He has engaged counsel and will fight
the case.
.expressions from prominent mem
bers of Portland's fishing and hunt
ing fraternity indicate that those who
engage in those pastimes are strongly
oposed to abolishing the Fish and
Game Commission and to the plan, 'on
foot to divert the funds obtained by
license fees from the separate fish and
game fund into the general fund.
Eleven sportsmen interviewed yes
terday lamented the possibility of the
abolishment of the Fish and Game Com
mission and declared that it would be
absolutely unfair and unwise to divert
tho funds. They are not necessarily
proclaiming that the Commission should
be retained with its present personnel,
but they are outspoken in support of
the Commission system of administra
tion. E. K. Corbett Opposes Change.
The interviews follow:
Elliott R. Corbett, First National
Bank I believe the administration of
the fish and game funds should be
retained under the law now in force and
that the Commission should be non
partisan in character. If the funds
derived from licenses are turned Into
the general fund they will be lost in
the shuffle and a sufficient amount
of money will not be spent on fish and
game propagation and protection. As
a matter of fact not enough money
is spent for that work now. It would
not be fair to sportsmen to take the
administration out of the hands of the
Commission and place it in the hands
of the Legislature.
Dr. Alan Welch Smith I am strongly
opposed to the plan on foot to divert
fees obtained from fish and eame
licenses into the general fund. Credit
should be given where it is due. Will
iam L. Finiey. as State Game Warden,
originated the present system and
placed it in successful operation be
fore being removed from that posi
tion He is not to blame and neither
is his system to blame if a deficit has
resulted in the game fund since his
retirement. I think the funds should
be used directly to benefit sporting
conditions.
Plan Would Cheat, Is Charge.
Maurice Abraham, secretary of the
Portland Revolver Club If I were to
say frankly what I think about this
plan to cheat sportsmen, I would be
placed behind prison bars for the rest
of my life. Sportsmen created this
fish and game fund and they want it
for the propagation of game and fish.
It looks to me like the public is try
ing to make use of a fund that doesn't
belong to it. If the money goes into
the general fund we will not get fair
treatment in the distribution of funds.
The public generally doesn't appreciate
the commercial profitn and benefits
A well-known Ohio woman, whose
husband has been a heavy user of
tobacco for years, broke him of the
habit by the use of a simple home
recipe that she gave secretly. She very
gladly told what she used but request
ed that her name should not be made
public, as her husband does not know
why he quit using tobacco. She said:
"The' recipe Is inexpensive and can be
obtained from any drug store, and
given secretly . or with tho patient's
knowledge. To 3 oz. of water add 20
grains of muriate of ammonia, a small
box of Varlex Compound, and 10 grains
of pepsin. Give a teaspoonful three
times a day at meal time, in the food or
in the coffee, tea or milk. This recipe
is perfectly harmless and has no color,
taste or smell, and will be found ef
fective for tho tobacco habit in any
form. Adv.
that result from the activities of a
fishing and hunting fraternity. The
100 members of the revolver club will
indorse this statement, word for word.
James D. Honeyman, of Honeyman
Hardware Company The authority
vested in a fish and game commission,
now that it has passed through the
experimental stage, will certainly be a
power for good in furthering the in
terests of the protection and propaga
tion of game and fish in Oregon. I
think, the present system should by
all means be continued.
Commission Is Defended.
George L. Baker I believe funds re
ceived through license fees should be
placed in a separate fish and game
fund. The hunters and fishermen are
the ones who are paying this money
and they should benefit directly. The
Legislature is too busy considering
other matters to give the proper
thought to the- flsh and game needs.
The administration of this work should
remain with the Fish and Game Com
mission, whose members are more
familiar with fish and game conditions.
C. D. Bruun The Fish arid Game
Commission should be retained. If we
had to reiy upon each succeeding Leg
islature for an appropriation matters
would always be in an uncertain state
and probably the department would
not receive its just share. I think it
would be a severe mistake to abolish
the Commission and I think the pro
posed meddling with the administration
of funds is entirely out of order.
"Change Would Be Mistake."
R. W. Schmeer, of United States Na
tional Bank I believe it would be a
mistake for any steps to be taken to
abolish either the separate game fund
or the system of administering it
through a, commission, for the reason
that the fund is created through the
money paid in by hunters and sports
men, for the purpose or protecting and
propagating fish and game, and if it
should be diverted into the general
fund, there would be danger of its
being dissipated. I believe that a com
mission appointed for the purpose
should handle the fund and the fund
should be devoted to the purpose for
which it is raised.
I. N. Fleischner I am in favor of
the present system of handling the
funds provided for fish and game pro
tection and propagation. The money
is raised for that purpose and should
be put aside for that purpose alone.
If its administration depended upon
the Legislature, instead of a commis
sion, there would be danger that the
Legislature at any time it saw fit
mierht arbitrarily decline to appropriate

sufficient funds for the work. The
present system of keeping the fund
separate and administering it through

which the fund was created is a good
sj-stem and in my opinion should not
be changed.
"Fund Should be Kept DUtlnct."
Lansing Stout, of the H.ibernia
Savirgs Bank I am most-firmly op
posed to. any move toward the abolition
of a Fish and Game Commission and
am with equal firmness in favor of
keeping the game fund distinct from
the general fund, as it is now. To
turn the fund into - the general fund
would create great danger of its never
being entirely used for the purpose
for which its was raised.
Dr. C. E. Stolte The present system
appears to me as the most feasible
that can be devised for the administra
tion and handling of the game fund
nri T am in favor of keeping the
fund separate as it is and administering
it through a commission, as heretofore.
Lloyd Smith. or (jampDeii-oiiin.ii

that it should be kept distinct ior me

am in favor of keeping the fund and

have been heretofore.
