Waterfowl Conservation Measure to
Protect Wild Fowl, Approved
by President.
The long-looked-for reduction in
the killing capacity of magazine shot
guns has at last been realized.
President Roosevelt has approved
an amendment to federal hunting
regulations that places. a 3-shell limit
on auto-loading and other repeating
shotguns, the Bureau of Biological
Curvey announced today. This reform
in wildfowling long advocated by
t-portsmen and conservationists was
made urgent by the alarming de
crease in the number of ducks.
The regulation, which becomes ef
fective immediately, applies only to
automatic-loading or hand-operated
repeating shotguns used in hunting
ducks, geese, and other migratory
game birds. Users of these types ofi

Washington. Western sugar beet
farmers and Louisiana cane growers
have received $1, 667, 490 in benefit
payments under provisions of the
Jones-Costigan sugar control act
passed by the last congress.
Officials of the farm adjustment
administration said navments have
weapon arc required to have jtxieri made in 9,036 checks, represent-
magazines stepped with plugs that
cannot be removed in the field, or
must have the magazines cut down
to the required shell capacity.
Repairs necessary to bring guns
within the provisions of the new
regulation, interest cf sportsmen now
in possession of sucli guns, have
agreed to co-operate in this conserva
tion measure.
The new amendment recommended
by the Biological Survey, adopted by
the Secretary of Agriculture, and ap
proved by the President on February
2, in accordance with the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act of 1918, provides
that migratory game birds may not
be taken "with or by means of an7
automatic-loading or hand-operated
repeeting shotgun capable of holering?
more than 3 shells the magazine cf
which has not been cut off, or plug
ged with a one-piece metal or wood
en filler incapable of removal through
loading and thereof, so a3 to reduce
the capacity cf said gun to not more
than 3 shells at one loading."
Conservation Measure
Kects Widespread Bsicand.
Thi3 regulation, said Secretary
Wallace in forwarding the amend
ment to the President, will be of "in
calculable advantage to the preser
vation cf cur migratory waterfowl.'
The secretary pointed out that the
measure "will deprive no one of the
privilege of hunting such birds and
v. ill meet an exceedingly widespread
demand throughout the country."
The demand for the action, it was
said, was insistent and pretty gene-
ally made even by the sportsmen
themselves, and was unanimously fa
voreel by conservationists.
J. X. Darling ("Ding"), Biological
Survey Chief, hailed the amendment
as an outstanding conservation act
"Pressure from all quarters," he ex-
plained, "lias become exceedingly
great during the last few years as
ing first installments to farmers co
operating in the sugar beet and sugar
cane adjustment programs.
Colorado payments top the list
with 203,078 sent to beet sugar
farmers in that state. Other pay
ments include: Nebraska, $143,000.

Multiple-Shot Guns Coincident
iWilh Decrease of Game. ...... ,
The advent of the repeating shot
gun, the Biological Survey relates,
came at about the same time as the
rapid decrease in migratory birds, to
which it contributed, but for which
it was not totally responsible. The
rapid development in the efficiency
of all arms and munitions and the
invasion cf game-breeding areas by
civilization, together With the in
crease in the number of hunters,
have thus brought the American
sportsman and conservationist to the
realization that if wildfowl shooting
i3 to be preserved it must be as a
skilled sport and not in mass killing.
It early became apparent, says the
bureau, that the abuses of multiple
shell guns far exceeded the advan
tages to the true sportsman. Magazine-shotguns
holding five or six
shells at a leading, contributed both
to careless marksmanship and to ex
cessive destruction of birds. The
large-guage guns had been ruled out,
but in their place, through man's in
genuity, had come an even more
deadly killing device.
Type of Gun Op
posed by Sportsmen.
As early as 1913, the first pro
tests among sportsmen's groups be
gan to be heaid, and the pressure for
restriction has progressively in
creased a3 the need for wildlife pres
ervation has beccnie more evident.
Gtato End national organizations of
sportsmen, one after another, have
passed resolutions requesting the out-
lav iug of the auto-lcadir.g gun, and
ai the sentiment has grown against
the r.uto-lcadcr, the hand-oporated
repeating shotgun has been included
in the protest. Canada in six prov
inces and the Northwest Territoric3
his legislated a prohibition against
them, similar action has been taken
of the advisory board, Migratory Bird
Treaty Act, the demand was. insistent
that the federal government act.
In the meantime, says the bureau's
statement, the majority of gun clubs
n the country have imposed upon
themsclvc3 a prohibition cf both
av.to-loaders and pump guns on their
own grounds. Manufacturers have
already put on the market modified
modols of both the auto-loading and
the pump shotguns that can accom
modate only, three shells at a load
ing. The trend, say3 the bureau,
has apparently been to the double
shot gun or to a single-barreled
weapon of 3-chcll capacity, and the
new regulation is thus in harmony
with developments among sportsmen.

On last Tuesday afternoon, the

committee headed by Mrs. Leo Peters.
All enjoyed the meeting. '
Visited Old Scenes nere
Mr. and Mrs. George Waldron, who
are former residents cf Greenwood
and vicinity, but who have been mak
ing their homo in Two Harbors,
Mich., spent several weeks with rela
tives and friends in Los Angeles, and
cn their way home stopped to visit
with their daughter, Mrs. L. A. Ten
nant and family, a short distance east
cf Louisville. In company with Mr.
and Mrs. Tennant, they were iu
qct cut and allow someone else to
take up the work. The examination
was held October 9, 1934, with thir
teen candidates competing. Finally,
Mie result was announced, and Mrs.
misie Ilelley was the cne named to be
come postmistress. She assumed the
duties cf the office last Friday and
we can safely predict will make an
excellent official, since she ha3 had
'.xperience and formerly held a simi

2TE3EASKA P03TMASTEKS
Washington. Representative Mc
Laughlin announced he had recom
mended the appointment of two act
ing postmasters as postmasters. They
were Mrs. Margaret Patterson at
Gretna and W. E. Goodhard at Elk
horn. Neb. He also recommended the
rppointnient. as acting postmasters
cf Fred Koehler at Fort Crook and
Mrs. Effie Adams at Ralston. He
recommended reappointment of Miss
Irma Hines as postmaster at St. Columbians.
By a single vote, administration
forces at Washington Wednesday pre
vented the senate appropriations
committee from loping two billion
dollars off the $4,880,000,000 work
relief bill, won a substitute for the
prevailing wage amendment and
eliminated the contract requirement
clause.
The committee authorized Chair
man Glass (dem., Va.) to report the
bill to the senate after nearly three
weeks of controversy and revision.
This would permit senate consider
ation tomorrow.
An amendment by Senator Adams
(dem. Colo.) to reduce the appropria
tion to $2,800,000,000 on the ground
the government would not stand the
larger expenditure year after j'ear,
was rejected, 12 to 11, with five dem
ocrafs, including GIas3, and six re
publicans, voting fcr It.
Amendment Is Concession.
A substitute offered by Senator
Russell (dem. Ga. ) for the McCarran
prevailing wage amendment was pre
viourly adopted, 1 i to 9. This would
authorize the president to fix wages
on public works at different rate3 for
various types of work.
If the proposed "security" wage
of $50 a month was found to be af
fecting the privato scale, ihe presi
dent would be required to fix a rate
not less than the prevailing wage.
Thi3 was a concession cn the part
of the administration, but Senator
McCarran (dem., Nov.), author of
the mandatory prevailing v. ago plan.
would not accept it and announced
he would fight for th-3 original
'amendment on the floor. William
Green, American federation of Labor
president, also expressed diseatisfac-
tion with it, arguing private wages,
if affected adversely by the public
works scale, would be a long time
coming to normal.
Glas3 announced tho other Mc
Carran amendment, requiring works
projects to te undertaken by con
tract awarded to the lowest qualified
bidder where the work required 10
per cent or mere skilled labor, was
beaten without a roll call;
. The test of the.Russell substitute
for the prevailing wage amendment
follows:
"The president is authorized to fix
the rates of wages cf all persons com
pensated out of the funds appropriat
ed by this joint resolution and may
fix different rates fcr various types
of work, which rates need not be
uniform throughout tho United
States. . j
In the event . the president, or
such officials cr agency cf govern
ment as he may select, shall deter
mine after an investigation that the
rate of wages paid is affecting ad
versely or i3 likely to decrease the
prevailing rates of wages paid for
any work of a similar nature in any
city, town, village, or other civil di
vision of the state in w hich the work
is located, or in the District of Co
lumbia, the president, or the offi
cial or agency designated by him
shall immediately fix the rate o
wages paid for work cf a similar na
ture in such locality.
"Any and all contracts which may
be entered into under the authority
contained in thi3 resolution shall con
tain stipulations which will provide
for the accomplishment of the pur
poses of this section."
