ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. BELL WINS MANY FRIENDS. At the end of his public hearing here Tuesday, Frank T. Bell, United States Commissioner of Fish- eries, was surrounded by a large number of people from the interested audience who thanked him for the evident sympathy with which he had listened to some of their problems connected with the ad- ministration of the fisheries and expressed gratitude for his promise that he would regard the welfare of Alaska fishermen as one of the factors governing future regulations. One of the significant features of the meeting here, and word comes that it has been noticeable in other places, was the friendli- ness of those attending the meeting. There was no indication of any bitterness, no evidence of antagon- ism toward the Bureau of Fisheries, and nothing but hopeful regard for the new Commissioner. Undoubtedly this would not have been true last| year, possibly not any time since the enactment of the present Alaska fisheries law by Congress. And this is said with all due regard for Mr. Bell's immediate predecessor who gave some 12 years of | his best efforts to building up the fisheries of the Territory. But he had definitely aroused bitter enmity against himself among a large proportion of Alaska's fishing population. Rightly or wrongly they had become absolutely convinced that his sole concern was in preserving fish for posterity even‘ though the present generation should starve through lack of employment. The reason for the reversal in attitude is not far to seek. It plainly does not lie in any startling | modifications of existing regulations that Commls-, sioner Bell has made. He has made none. Further | than that, he announced publicly when he first assumed office several months ago that none would be made. He has reiterated that statement at every hearing held in the Territory and in every interview given the press. In the Alaska hearings themselves, however, is contained the cause. Never before has every indi- vidual, white and Indian, seiner, troller, trap-man, packer, professional man and business man, been met publicly and permitted to discuss the fisheries industries and the regulations. So far as we know, Commissioner O’'Malley never denied any man the right to approach him and discuss these matters. But that is an altogether different matter than holding previously announced public hearings at places where everyone has an opportunity to be heard. From Ketchikan to the farthest reaches of Bristol Bay, he has foregathered with Alaskans and heard what to them are some of their most serious problems. And that is already paying him fine dividends in new friends. Commissioner Bell has not promised Alaskans the impossible. He has promised to “humanize” the regulations. One question he asked in the local hearing seemed to give the drift of his thoughts. “Is it & fact that the packers make a practice of | buying seine fish at the beginning and near the end of the season, when fish are few, but refuse to buy them at the peak of the run?” He branded such a practice as unfair and unjust to the fisher- men. He didn't say so, but it could be seen if such practice existed, he would like to see it stopped. He termed it “unbalanced operation.” It would not be difficult to avert the necessity of a practice of that kind. If the combined take of traps and seines proves too great for the plants to handle, the reduction ought to be made first in the trap take. That was apparently the trend of thought Mr. Bell was following. It was such incidents as this one, it is in the | minor changes made, all of which are designed w{ benefit the local fishermen, and his frank declara- tion that he would always make known what he is doing, or going to do, and the reasons for doing it, with his invitation for local co-operation, that will in the future pay even bigger dividends in co- operation on the part of Alaskans, and their support as it may be needed. | INDUSTRY CONTROL IN ACTION. The control of industry, written into the Na- tional Recovery Act, was easier to understand in its earlier stages. At that time it consisted of a project to regulate through trade associations, and was based on fairly comprehensible general principles. Accord- ing to the basis theory, industries would meet in conference, agree upon minimum wages, standard working hours, minimum prices and a variety of trade practices. They would submit these codes of competition to the Federal Government, with whose approval they would be enforced. The under- lying object was to insure the expansion of wage payments, providc . steadily greater purchasing power to t-ke care of increased production. Such was the .heory. After the contrel of industry passed from this initlal stage it has taken on more and more the aspects of mystery. Industries meet at various places, draw up conflicting and confusing codes. - THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1933. its enormous detail, becomes more confusing "every day. The layman would have to give 10 hours daily, every day, to keep track of the infinitely complex developments. Even then he probably could not be sure just what was happening in the control of industry. One significant trend is apparent. The Admin- istration, through Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, the Ad- ministrator, is insisting on minimum wage and maximum hours as the primary or even exclusive subject matter in the early competition codes. Ef- forts to regulate prices so far are being discouraged. It is the view of the Administration, and it seems highly proper, that recovery can be best advanced if prices are allowed to advance naturally along with the stepping up of wage rates, and its determ- ination to check price raises in advance of actual wage advances is readily understandable. i That celebrated American double play—Roosevelt to Moley to Hull—has just about busted up' the ‘W. E. C. ball game. They say that the shortage pof. Whiskey ! after repeal will be terrible. After 14 years of bathtub gin and 40-rod whiskey, Americans will remember that it is aged after one shaking. It is not any cause for wonderment that the gangsters have picked some brewers as a means of securing a fat bank roll. Good News. (Ketchikan Chronicle.) Ketchikan has had several items of good news during the past week. Of primary importance is the fact that the runs of salmon are helping the trollers make up for lost time. While we cannot assume that the luck is to continue indefinitely, yet it is not to be denied that most of the trollers have made in the hundreds of dollars during the single week that they now have been operating. It will not take many more weeks like that to bring them out of the hole and assure that they will be able to carry through the coming winter without outside help. Then there are the uniformly encouraging re- ports from canners, who report that the first salmon not only have been coming in reasonable quantities but that the sizes are satisfactory and indications of a gradually increasing run more than satisfying. At the same time, outside reports give renewed indication that a fair price for the finished product is likely this fall. Not to be excluded from the good news is the report that the Secretary of Agriculture has ap- proved the Forest Highway building program which is to give Ketchikan another three miles of high- way beyond the Mud Bay section. The estimated cost of this project will be $100,000, and it will start at a time—September—when declining cannery operations make further employment necessary. Also, the Forest Service has about 100 men already at work at the relief camps. These organizations will be continued at least until the middle of October. Add to all this the likelihood of greater pur- chases of seine caught salmon at prices three times higher than last year's and the outlook cannot be said to be discouraging. However, we should not wish that these re- marks be construed as unduly optimistic. They are meant merely to show that from the standpoint of present conditions—local and national—the situation looks good. @ertainly it should mean that we shall not have the relief burden this winter that we had last. But it does not mean that we should be reckless. We must not lose sight of the fact that unbridled enthusiasm is about as dangerous as unbridled fear. Ladies. (New York World-Telegram.) When is a lady.a lady? Never! Says Inez ‘Haynes Irwin in her new book, “Angels and Amazons.” ‘There are no ladies; there are only women in the new world, she declares. A lot of artistocracy has gone over the dam since the turn of this cen- tury, when ladies were ladies. In the process woman has emerged into a new being. ‘The title or designation “lady” (a very pretty sounding word) had many variations of meaning, from that in “Lady, Be Good” to “Lady Dalrymple,” wife of the Lord of that name. “Lady” implied aristocracy, social superiority. In smaller places it simplied also refinement or the possession of a cer- tain grace in carriage and dress, or even goodness. It marked off those favored hy fortune or nature from those less favored—the rank and file of women. Once women wanted to be ladies. Now ladies would like to be women, in a common cause of emancipation of the sex. Certainly this implies a fundamental democra- tization far surpassing the importance casually ac- corded the great change. This has arisen out of wider educational advantages for women and out of general liberalization of thinking. But it has come also with the rise of the poor to wealth and posi- tion. Not that this process had not proceeded throughout the history of this country and the world, but it has proceeded upon an infinitely vaster front in this industrial era of multiplied national wealth. The rigid barriers of an older and highly limited aristocracy has broken down before the deluge of new wealth pouring from machines. Into that deluge “ladies” have vanished and upon its bosom “women” universally have been lifted to a new dignity and a new freedom and into a new hope. Some Boys Are Awful Lucky. (Fairbanks News-Miner.) What a lucky thing it was for the “Mattern” searching party that they were forced down on a Canadian hayfield instead of an Alaskan, because it is almost a cinch our “New Deal” Secretary of Interior Ickes would have charged them for park- ing space if they landed on one of our hayfields. And if they had been so unfortunate as to have been forced down on any part of the Richardson High- way—Oh, Boy! What a toll he would have flopped on ’em.
