Floe, Company from Olaf Secretary of the Herring of Port Conclusion, answering statement made by J. R Heckman, leading canneryman and business man of Ketchikan, Alaska, and prominent citizen of in The Empire yesterday. Mr. Heckman strong- ly protested ag the use of herring for fer- tilizer. Mr. Fioe says herring are not used for| fertilizer, but that all of the fish taken are used | for food for people, live stock and chickens and for oil. Mr. mmunication orthwestern i i | | | slator appeared former the T nst Heckman's statement follows It is a crime, one that will re- gretted later, that this country is allow- ing herring to be used for (fertilizer; a food fish that will in time Dbe as valuable to Alaska as our Imon fish- ing has been. More fertili plants are going in every year and making huge profits on using up a good fish for making fertilizer. This should be stopped immediately regardless of whom it hurts. If this industry for' the use of fer- tilizer is stopped before it too late, gome of us will live to see herring one of our largest industries in Alaska. Thirty years ago you could not sell a thousand cases of pink salmon in the world; today we sell millio The same might well, in time, prove true of herring. It 48 our duty fo use every to stop the destruction of herring. 1 believe it is one of the great- est economic and industrial crimes of the century and we are watching it and making practically no protest. I know we need fertilizer. I know it helps farmers to grow crops. But there are many other waste products just as valuable for fertilizer. In Alaska are great lime deposits and mineral deposits and fertilizer. Alaskan waters swarm with fish that have little or no food value. Then why, for the sake of tem- porary gain, utterly destroy an industry which can be made permanent, be worth millions of dollars annually and pro- vide for future needs? That is the reason 1 say it is an industrial and economic crime and a shame to allow it to continue. Every Alaskan who shuts his eyes to these facts and makes no protest, is aiding and abetting the criminal practice of the destruction of a valuable f8od product. There is absolutely no relation betweea ase to which herring that are caught and the preservation of the species for time when people might consume the entire catch for edible purposes. If it is desired to preserve the herring industry the only thing necessary i8 to provide against over-fishing. It is mnot a question of the use to which the fish are put after they are caught but a question as to whether or not too many of them are caught. The market demand is the best criterion for determining the use of the fish affer they are caken. for food, until . ery, and that is effort the are put a fish are a demand for the smaller is that the large fish that suitable for the foodstuff market cannot be eaught without taking the smaller herring for which there is no demand as edible fish. What would Mr. Heckman have done with these ‘smaller grades of fish? There is complaint ‘among the people of the Cook Inlet country that a lot of them are dumped into the sea out there, Would it not be a lot better to use them for fish meal and oil? Would Mr. Heckman stop herring fishing, because a lot of the fish caught are unsuitable ~ for food, until a demand for the samller fish food is developed? Af so, what would he with* the herring that would live and die and to waste pending the time that people would the entire catch for food? Is. it not economy to continue the ery, within thé limits that might be de- mined to be safely secure against the ex- mination of the species, and to continue to those fish that are not in demand for food in a way that produces a profit rather than ' to permit the herring to die of old age while we ‘walt for an increased demand for food fish?

The day is gone when the pack- ers’ lobby is pointed out in Washington as the perfect example of a well-organized machine. It is the church lobbies which now dominate the scene. The authority of the Anti-Saloon League, with its two-million-dollar budget for legislative work, its aggressive lobby and its whiphand over a large section of the House of Representatives, is now one of the major factors in contemporary politics. The Lord’s Day Alliance distributes, ac- cording to its own reports, “millions of pages of literature” and has its lobbyists at various State capitals “to oppose all adverse measures.” The Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals claims to have held “scores of con- ferences with governmental officers regarding the local details of Prohibition enforcement,” and iz not ashamed to admit that, like the Klan, it keaps a record of the “‘religious and fraternal af- filiations”” of gentlemen in Congress. Every corre- spondent in Washington knows the power of these lobbies Arthur S. Henning wrote recently in the Chicago Ttibune: The church politicians are the mag ter propagandsits from which all other propagandists are taking lessons. It is by the church politicians that the “new lobbying” has been brought to its pres- ent te of perfection. * * * With a network of central and subordinate agencies covering the country, with a multitude of interlocking organizations, with an army of seasoned propaganda experts operating from coast to coast, with “canned” resolutions provided at a moment’s notice, with tons of litera- ture, thoroughly tested mailing lists and the use of chain letters and telegrams and numerous other devices, the new lobbying has been brought to such a state of perfection that the invisible government has but to press a button to inundate Congress with every sort of rep- resentation, ranging from plea to de- mand, and to loose to the ears of the Legislators what sounds exceedingly like the voice of the people—the whole peo- ple—and is often mistaken therefor. These are the church lobbies. What disturbs them now and prompts them to make new de- mands of Congress is a belief that blue-law legis- lation has been made more necessary than ever by an alarming lapse in public morals. “You, of course, know that the increase in crime through- out the United States has been most alarming during the past decade,” writes the General Sec- retary of the Lord’s Day Alliance in a call for money with which to back the new drive on Con- gress, “but do you know that our prisons now contain more criminals than at any time in our I 1 i t t t s s | shows Amendment, | ed his friend, sarcastically be ter Old-Fashioned Ones At Because, selves as the latest fashion.” grapefruit a spoon place.” Speaking of a Well-Worn Subject had morist. bought at a bargain sale down the peel when I started to chase it" !

We daily “bat 100%" for the safety and convenience of the Nation’s history?” It we are not mistaken, it was just about ten years ago, at the beginning of this same decade, that the advocates of a Federal dry law predicted that Prohibition would empty the jails, not fill them. “Empty the jalls,” in fact, was one of Prohibition’s most eloquent and most persuasive slogans. It does not occur to the Lord's Day Alliance, however, that seven years-of Prohibition, seven vears of increasing disrespect for law, seven; years of making drinking more attractive by at- tempting to prohibit it, and seven years of mani- fest corruption in Government offices in charge of Prohibition work have anything to do with the fact that “our prisons now contain more criminals than at any time in our Nation’s his- tory.” The Answe. of the church lobbies to the breakdown of restictive laws on private morals is to add still more restrictions.
