NEW JERSEY FISHERMEN ANGRY,
They WIN Fight the sCIose Day. Bill
which, II Passed, Would Allow Onls
Five Days for Shad Fishing.

~---
PENNsvILLE, Jan. 17.-Fishermen of
this place, Pennsgrove. Salem, Pauls-
boro and places along the shore of the
Delaware river are now greatly excited
over the threatened attempts of some
members of the State Legislature to
present a bill in this session to provide a
''close day" in the middle OF each week.
This means day set apart in each
week upon which all shad fishing is to be
prohibited, and this day, with Sun
days, would practically mean only
FIVE days in each week upon which the
fishermen are allowed to ply their trade
If this bill is passed 1t would m can an
annual loss to the fishermen amounting
to $B0,O 900 The effect the enforcement
of such measure would produce would
practically mean the annihilation OF the
shRd industry
The fishermen contend that il such a
measure is passed it would work detri-
ment to the interests of Jersey fishermen,
and would be an advantage to pennsyl
vania and Delaware fishermen in that It
affords the fishermen of the latter states
a day upon which they can ply their trade
on which the Jersey fishermen are
excluded.
This great loss to the fishermen would
amount TO corresponding loss to the
business interests Of South Jersey.
Another grievance which the fishermen
have Is that certain mud dredges at
work In the Delaware at different points
will prevent the fishermen from per
forming their work this Winter.
There are 10000 men who annually
engage In this industry, and these men
are preparing to fight any measure in
troduced in the State Legislature which
will prove detrimental to their interests
The Shad Fishermen's Protective Asso
ciatiun and other leading ssociations Of
South Jersey are joining in the fight.
