CMiNEBS ARE OPPDSEO
FEDERAL CONTROL, OF FIS1IIXG
NOT TO THEIR L1KIXG.
Puget bound Conference Will Send
Delegation to Intercede at
SEATTLE, April 2. Puget Sound sal
mon canners, at a conference held here
today, placed themselves on record as op
posed to Federal control of the salmon
fisheries In Puget Sound waters, and
condemned the recommendations of the
National Fisheries Commission, com
posed of Professor David Starr Jordan,
representing the United States, and Pro
fessor Prince, representing Canada, as
vicious In many respects and detrimental
to the Puget Sound fishing industries.
They objected particularly to the rec
ommendation that the closed season for
sockeyes extend from August 25 to Sep
tember 15, while a corresponding closed
season Is not recommended for the traps
on Vancouver Island, north of Victoria,
thus giving the fish no chance to reach
the spawning grounds. Dr. "Jordan's
recommendation that jiggers be abolished
was also vigorously opposed on the
ground that their elimination would ren
der worthless many of the best salmon
traps in Sound waters.
Federal regulation of the fisheries was
opposed on the ground that the Federal
officials could not provide any features
not now furnished by the state, and that
Federal control and regulation would be
no more economic or efficient.
Every one of the 18 salmon canners
operating on Buget Sound was present
at the conference. A committee was ap
pointed to draw up a formal protest to
be forwarded to Washington, where the
recommendations of the committee are
now being considered by the Senate com
mittee on foreign relations.

here what a crowd I would meet
(hisses and hoots). Now that won't
correct the evils."
Voices: "You won't either."
The Mayor: "Maybe I can't."
Voice: "You won't try."
