MRS. M. l.. TAYLOR & SISTEl
New-York tribune., 1906-12-01
THE FREEDOM OF THE SEAS.

The old fight for the freedom of the Is
on again in new form, involving the rights and
privileges of fishermen IN the coast waters of
New Jersey-the regions whence is derived q
large and important part Of the fish food supply
Of the metropolis. The chief issue IN the
test graphically set forth with little If any,
exaggeration In q recent cartoon, which por-
trayed the Fishing Trust as claiming the Allan
tic Ocean as its own exclusive preserves, and
warning all others off as trespasserS. The
literal fact appears to be that a corporation Is
attempting to establish such pretensiOns over
some of the most profitable coast fisheries of
New Jersey, and is actually causing the arrest
Of those who challenge It's right to monopolize
the waters
1t is pleasant to see that ample aid is being
given to the Independent fishermen, and that
there is prospect Of the matter being promptly
carried to q determination in the highest courts
Upon which side popular sympathy and popular
interest enlisted there can be little doubt
The arrogance and selfishness of the wholesale
steam fishers and pound fishers have long been
offensive TO every lover Of sport and of fair
play, and have proved inimical to the public in
pecuniary sense. These people stretch their
enormous nets clear across the mouth Of
river or the inlet to a bay or sound and claim
all the waters thus inclosed or all the fish con-
tained therein their own private property
Other fishermen using rod and line, are thus
forbidden to fish IN waters to which all comers
have hitherto enjoyed a common right, and thus
practically all fishing except that OF the cor
poration is prohibited in those waters. More
over, by thus entrapping all the fish of all kinds
and sizes the fisheries are being exhausted. Ger
tain kinds Of fish have already disappeared from
these waters, and others are growing scarce
The policy is thus shortsighted as 1t is selfish
and arrogant
Nor does the public profit from it With all
these wholesale captures Of fish, the price of fish
In the metropolitan market does not decrease
On the contrary, 1t Increases. By preventing IN
dependent fishermen from plying their trade the
steam and pound fishermen secure control of the
market and are enabled to dictate prices If
they catch more food fish than can be marketed
at the high prices which they charge they put
them In cold storage grind them up with
menhaden for oil and fertilizer or dump them
back into the sea. In such ways they withhold
from consumption millions of fine food fish,
The result is that with some Of the best fishing
grounds In the world within few miles of this
city, and, indeed actually bordering upon 1t,
food fish Of good quality, which should be plen-
tlful and cheap is becoming more and more
costly luxury. OF course, 1t NAV be that the
monopolists are In the right, and that they ought
