ana WORKERS or gill nets trap nets, etc.-haye had
hard a. nd Improbable season The cold weather
has kept the fish back, and the strong currents In
The river from the numerous rains have broken
and destroyed their nets, in consequence OF which
Some OF the fishermen are very badly of. They
are about TO petition Congress to amend the fish
Ing laws-for this year at least-sO as to extend
the time IN which fishing is allowed, from the end
or May 20 the 10th OF June. They represent that
this Is necessary, not only for their own relief but
1orthe benefit OF the poorer classes o. people the
DIS triet who can lily AFFORD to buy meat at the
present high prices, also for the benefit OF the
farmers In the surrounding country, who In con-
sequence OF the small catch of fisn far have not
Deen able 10 obtain their usual supplies. The fish,
ermen claim also that there Is an unfair diScrimt-
nation against them In the present law, because
while IL stops fishing within the District on the
30th OF May IL allows fishermen in the adjoining
states t. bring the prohibited fish here for sale
until the 10Th OF June.
