And that can be lone easily enough,

Let the deputy commissioners go TO head

that hereafter no Illegal fishing will be al

Sometimes the school Is nearly a mile in

A huge seine more than e hundred feet
in width and reaching from few fath0m
below the surface TO the bottom OF tile sea,

Against the tide the drag is made for nearly
three hours at a time. In each haul from
two to five tons are caught, and of those that
are caught more than one-half. sometimes
fully One-third. are thrown back into the
water dead to become food for the shags and

There is no law against this wholesale

Daily they kill many thousands Of young
fish which are too small for the market.
Now there is a clause IN the fishing laws
which tacitly permits the catching Of young
fish by seine, provided they are returned

experienced fishermen, is q most perDiclous
clause. aud is responsible FIR much Of the
destruction Of young fish in the bay.

not be returned to the water alive"
In most cases they are dead before they
are pulled out Of the water, their sudden
contact with the net and the crowdlng ana
jammng they are subjected to as the seine
is pulled against the tide is sufficient to XIII
them.
The young fish that escape this rough
treatment alive are certainly killed by their
subsequent usage. The big net is drawn 10
the side Of the boat, where its contents are
seoOued out in small hand nets and thrown
in the hold When the big net has been

fund viii be raised and a committee
sent to the next Legislature TO secure the
passage OF laws to protect and regulate the
fishing industry.
The next candidate to the State Legis-
lRtuTe from the district inhabited by the
italian fishermen must be sound on the fish
question. More than that he must promise
to father aud advocate the passage of ap-
prOpriate legislation regarding the catching
and preservation Of fish.
An effort Will also be made by the club to
have the Legislature take some steps re-
gaTdng the enforcement of the present fish
laws against the Chinese fish-pirates.
The scheme has been brewing for several
months past, has been well agitated among
the fishermen, and from their present tenn

There Is not country in Europe where

sort 1t over and place the different fish in
separate boxes or bags, the young and uu-
marketable fish being thrown overheard.
The latter are dead long before they strike
the water.
In this way these 16 Italians are doing not
6 little to aid the Chinese 6sh-pirates in de-
stroying all the fish in San Francisco Bay.
Twelve OF these 16 boats are owned and
operated as follows, two boats being worked
by earh firm: G. B. CostagnOla & Co,
Gearnglia & Co., f. Maggie & Co., A. 70

AS to dragging for FISH in the bay the
Fish Com missiOners say it IS legal. The
law says: Every person who shall cast,
extend, set, use or continue, or who shall
assist in casting, extending, setting. or con-
tinuing Chinese sturgeon lines, or Chinese
shrimp or bag nets or lines or nets of SINH
lar character. for the catching Of fsh in the
waters Of this State is guilty oil misde-
meanor."
What material and practical difference
there may be between the nets used by these
Italian draggers and those prescribed by
law is a question that can only be answered
by the Fish Commissioners.
IN effect their use is the same. They both
destroy the young and immaIured fsh, to
guard against which was the only purpose
OF the law quoted.

DRAGGING THE SEA IN DRiKES BAT.

The CALL has shown how the fish supply
Of San Francisco Bay is threatened by the
Chinese and as result public opinion has
been aroused on the subject even to the
point Of waking up the Fish Commission.
The other day 16 Of the yellow FISH pirates
were arrested in San Pablo Bay.
This is encouraging. but the Commission
ers must keep up their fight If they wish the
public TO believe they are in earnest ID their
opposition to the Chinese.
The very opposite opinion has prevailed
heretofore, and only war against the Celes-
tials. not Onlyin San Pablo Bay, but Wher-
ever else they are located; only war that
shall not cease until the Illegal fishing has
been completely stopped VIII convince the
public that the commission is really IN earn
est.
But the Chinese are not the sole offenders.
Some of the Italian fishermen are doing
their share in the work OF Kidding the pay
OF its fnny nbabitants.
Thlrty-two Italians in half that number
of boats are daily destroying thousands OF
young fish at the spawning grounds OF
Angel Island.
There is yet another grave menace to the
fish supply Of this bay Five Italian hsh-
dealers own three small steamers, which
daily make enormous naulS Oh hi4 anus u
fish only a short distance of shore in brakes
Bay.
These fish are on their way to San Fran
cisco Bay from the north. II uDmolested
they would enter this haTbor and seek the
various spawning grounds.
Tons Of these FISH are caught IN huge drag
nets every day and brought into the market,
and many tons OF those thus caught are
daily DESTROYED and cast overheard.
If all fhPsa things only UuTt The uSl DuSl-
ness and the few men engaged IN catching
fish by legitimate means, the pubic apathy
in such matters need scarcely be disturbed,
for tie number Of Caucasian fishermen IS
barely a thousand, and, at all events, the
consumer is getting his FISH cheap.
But this is not the only result OF this
Illegal ard illegi,imate fishing, and If they
are continued. the consumer Will soon find
his fresh fish dear enough, and perhaps not
pFOcuTable al any price.
There is imminent dagger Of the immedi-
ate FISH supply Of San Francisco becoming
totally exhausted
A noteworthy movement is that OF the
Italian fishermen and their Greek, Slay and
Spanish COnfTeres. They are about TO or
ganize a political club the object Of which
shall be 10 pledge votes to public officials
who will interest themselves in the fishing
question and to see that existing laws are

seems TO be very plain, and the Inference is
strong that If they y Ould the Fish Commits
mssioners could enforce it. Says the law :
Every person VITO by seine or any other
means shall catch the young fish of any
species and who shall not return the same
to the water Immediately and alive
is guilty of mlsdemeanor."
The Italian dragGers do not return the
Young tsh that fnd their way into their
seInes either Immediately" or 'alive.'
The attention of the Fish Commission is
respectfully called to this latter fact.
Five Italian, Greek and Spanish fish,
dealers control the fresh f,h market of
California. They are Acbills Paladini,
Peter Costa. Vincent Fabris, ErmenenegildO
Antoni and NaTcisc0 Pardini
The five are equal partners and owners Of
