THE LOBSTER LAW.
What the shore Fishermen and Lobster
Dealers Ask.

What the shore Fishermen and Lobster
Dealers Ask.
The overcoming controversy between
the fishermen and dealers on the one
hand, and the Gamers on the other, IL
before the State legislature. The re-
monstrance and petition, which have
been extensively signed, are a. follows;
ON January Is there was presented to
the legislature petition from PASSPORT
and OF her neIg boring towns, backed by
bill, demanding and providing for the
regulation of he lobster fishing industry.
This bin provides for the canning and
sale of all Holsters without restriction to
size. from April % To July /. Ii also pro
hihits the shipment OF any Holsters out of
the state from August to November l,
being three months close time.
If this bill should become law, no
greater misfortune could befall the
lobster is hermen of Maine, or those
directly interested in this branch OF the
fishery, for 1t would cripple the lobster
business OF our State, and turn the entire
trade into the hands of fishermen and
dealers in other states, where there is no
close time. Past experience has taught
US all how detrimental close time Is to
the lobster fishermen OF Maine, and also
how unjust it is for the lobster fishermen
of our State to be deprived of an equal
Knowing this. AS we do from experience,
we feel it to be he duty OF every lobster
fisherman to use ms best eI1or' 10 prevent
the enactment of a law that practically
destroys his business.
For he past six Years We have had no
close time on market Holsters, and the re-
sun y hat .iit Ii,'o,ne ,b ahIad ~

it would greatly facilitate travel to those
living on this side of the bay, part; llarly
in winter, when the ice shuts Us out from

reasonable. considering the fact that
people come forty and even sixty miles
from the east to take the cars at Sullivan.

lent part of the journey lies in reaching

be readily granted.

tons apart unless they are careful to place
a secret mark that must remain known
only to themselves on each ticket after 1t is
printed.
What makes the impending bankruptcy
of Metzger & Franklin even more danger
ously near is the action recently taken by
the postal authorities with reference to all
the mail matter addressed to that unlaW-
full firm.
The authorities at Washington have or
dered Postmaster McCoppin to stop all
mail addressed to lottery companies or to
their proprietors or agents as individuals.
The mail matter stopped under this order
is to be Endorsed as fraudulent" and
then forwarded to the dead letter office.
Louis Metzger and J. L. Franklin, pro-
prietors of the Little Louisiana Lottery
swindle, with elaborate and handsomely
appointed quarters in the Wells-Fargo
building on New Montgomery street, have
been the greatest sufferers by this order of
things.
They are complaining bitterly at the
rule that robs them of their correspon-
dence. It has crippled their business not
q little. Metzger has a lot Of valuable mail
matter coming from Germany and he is
protesting loudly and emphatically against
its seizure. Mr.. Metzger has a remedy.
He can engage in some honest and lawful
occupation and leave the swindling lottery
traffic to men of the Epson stripe. Then
his mail will not be interfered WITH

within the law. 1t is certainly not the
purpose of the mail service to assist in

cannot pass laws to govern the acts Of anybody

Therefore you can safely transact any bust
ness Of this kind in and through the State, and
the express company must handle the business
if you compel them to. SO far have had no
