Alaska Salmon Bill Delayed as Cannery Telegrams Reach Washington
Representative Cushman’s bill to regulate salmon catching in Alaska rivers faced postponement in the House Territories Committee after advocates urged delay for hearing in Washington. The measure aims to ban unlicensed fishing, limit catches, exclude fish in salt, and bar Japanese participation, while supporters claim the trade risks consolidating under Japanese control. Meanwhile the Senate Territories Committee approved a favorable report on rail aid for Alaska with bond issues removed, and another measure banning gambling across several territories received support.
