THRUST IT HOOVER
DENOUNCES FISHERIES CONSER.
VATION POLICY AS UNFAIR,
DISCRIMINATORY
Denunciation of the Fisheries con
servation policy of the U. S. Bureau
of Fisheries, condemnation of the
trap system, and a plea for “fair,
just ai d impartial” administration by
that bureau and steps be taken to
turn over to Alaska all the control
of its fisheries, is voiced by a mem
orial introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives last week by Represent
ative Charles B. Ferguson reports
the Empire. It was referred to the
Committee on Judiciary.
Say Policy is Injust
Mr. Ferguson’s memorial on the
Administration’s fisheries policy
which is addressed to the President,
Congress and Secretary Hoover, says,
■contrary to the belief of Alaskans at
the time of the passage of the White
Fish Bill, “The Secretary of Com
merce has seen fit by unfair and die
criminatory regulation to place the
entire burden of conservation upon
resident fishermen o; Alaska and to
permit and encourage unrestricted
fishing by automatic appliances which
has resulted in the taking from
Alaskan waters in the season of 1926
more salmon than in any other year
since the inception of the industry,”
and “insists on upholding special
privlege by the encouragement of
the trap fishing system which ha3
been abolished in all fishing coun
tries of any importance and which is
known to be a very destructive
method of fishing we can not expect
j’elie! for the fishing population of
Alaska until Congress instructs the
the trap fishing system and institute
Secretary of Commerce to abolish
a fair code of regulations.”
