War Against Fish Trust.

War has been declared by the Chesapeake
Bay Fishermen's Association against syn
dlcate of northern capitalists, that has been
organized for the purpose, 1t is stated, of
controlling the menhaden fishing business
on the Chesapeake.
The syndicate is connected with the At
lantic Fishermens Company of New York.
and being big concern soon drove smaller
operators out of the market. This the Vir-
ginia fishermen, whose wharves are on
Chesapeake bay do not propose to submit
to without fight and at meeting held al
Reedville a day or two ago Messrs w c.
Snow, w. s. L. Messick and G. n. Reed
were appointed to secure attorney to
take up the fight. 1t is proposed to In
quire into the origin of the syndicate and
to make fight to prevent a foreign cor
poration fishing in Virginia waters.
The menhaden fisheries are one OF the
most important industries of the northern
neck OF Virginia, and a large fleet of
steamers are employed In the catching of
the fish, which are used In making oil and
for fertilizer. The season, until about a
week ago, had been very dull, and the fish
factory operators had been losing money,
but the fish are now being caught In pay
ing quantities. and the prospect is good for
a paying season.
