evening to organize ii branch of the s..
F. p. A. TO work in connection with

The committee was cordially received

made chairman and Alfred Patton, of
Penn's Grove, acted as secretary. After
a few remarks by the chairman, he in
troduced the speaker, and for about Il
hour he endeavored to make it plain to
the fishermen the injustice done them
on the part of those who have been
lordiDg it over us. The room was well
filled with al intelligent audience who
listened with close attention to all that
was said. After proving to them with
out contradiction OIL the part of any,
that the S. +. p. A. of Salem county
had accomplished much that was bene-
fetal to all of the shad fishermen of the
two counties. 1t was also made clear
to the fisher men of Gloucester county,
the Importance of cooperating with the
lislleI nltn OF Salem county. All present
seemed to be deeply impressed with a

dice and unite in u grand Organiza-
tion that all may be mutually benefited.

ganize a branch at Bridgeport, many
quickly responded. After ths public

your Congress for instance, just as il is

war against any other European couu-
try that will furnish even half a provo,

such II declaration with the widest joy.
