BROWN BEARIS CAUSE OF FUSS IN CONVENTION Holzworth, Angry at De- feat, Causes Uproar in New York Gathering gl AR | NEW YORK, Oct. 26—The Al-| aska brown bear Tuesday threw | the annual meeting of the Na- tional Association of Audubon So—i cieties into an uproar. Not the| bear, itself, but John H. Holz- worth, President of the National Association of Wild Life Conserva- tionists, Inc., occasioned the tur- moil that marred the usual serenity of the association of bird and wild life enthusiasts. | | | Holzworth appeared before the convention in support of his pro- posal to seek Congressional legisla- tion to set aside Admiralty and Chichagof Islands, Alaska, as a national park for a brown bear sanctuary. The convention turned his down. Angered at his rejection, which had not been expected by him, Holzworth hurled wild charges at| the association, asserting it was “working. hand in hand with wood pulp interests.” Muskrats played a second fiddle to the great bears of Alaska, in yesterday’s meeting, as a disturbing element when two factions went to; the bat over whether they should be preserved. One faction said they are a great benefit to wild fowl. Another faction was equally posi- tive they are wholesale slaught- erers. o | FRANK W. HARRIS I IS NOW AT HIS HOME| Frank W.

PO DUTY ON-FISH IS REQUESTED | BY PRODUCERS Prompt Relief Demanded or Alaska, Coast Busi- ness Is Wrecked NORTH HIT HARD, DECLARES FRIELE Importations from Japan and Norway Cutting American Trade WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.zOanned fish producers testified at the Customs Bureau ‘hearing here yes- terday that unless they get prompt relief from fish product importa- tions, their business is wrecked. They attributed the dwindling business to competition with Japan and Norway. Flooding Market E. D. Clark, Manager of the Association of the, Pacific Fisher- ies at Seattle Wash, said Japanese packers were taking advantage of depreciated currency to flood the market with fish products turned away from France and England by higher tariffs. He said recently 40,000 cases of pink salmon, packed in Siberia, were offered for $1.80 on the Pacific Coast and $2 a case on the Atlantic Coast. 3 Importation Increase Willlam Calvert, President of the San Juan Fishing and Packing Fricle, President of the Association of Pacific Fisheries, said importa- tions from Japan of salmon, tuna, crab and fish oil has been in- creasing for the past three years and it is impossible ‘to compete at the low prices Japan offers. Calvert said Japan sent 5,500,000 pounds of canned fish last year to the United States as against a negligible amount the year be- fore. For Customs Rule The packers asked for a custom rule on foreign countries dumping their products in the United States and grant relief through increased duty or barring some products from mislabeling. Friele said Japanese importation is seriously injuring the salmon industry of Alaska and unless the Alaskan industries ‘“get relief, we will be just as well off to sell Alaska back to Russia, not for $7,- 500,000 but for 75 cents.” ACTION TO BE TAKEN WASHINGTON, Oct. 26—Presi- determine whether 18 major indus- tries are sufficiently protected against foreign imports, under the present tariff duties, because of differences in money values abroad. Canned fish, which the Presi- dent mentioned as vital to Alaska, will be among the commodities investigated.
