Fishing

The boat keepers here are ready
for the weekly rush of out-of-town
anglers here tomorrow and Sunday.
The John G. Merkel Fishing Club,
of Newark, still holds the club record
for the largest catch of %weakfish.
Last Sunday the club fished Princes
Bay from Charlie Miller'smotor boat,
Lansey Alice, and caught eighty
weakfish. The run from Newark to
the fishing grounds was %uneventful,
but they beat the record home trying
TO get in ahead of the storm.
Charlie James, first captain; AL
Krementz, acting captain; Jim Arm
strong, chief engineer; Jack Ross,
batter, and Hen Hayden, extra
weight, of the Ninth Ward Fishing
Club, of Newark, fished Princes Bay
last Saturday and caught siXty-five
weakfish on the flood tide. This
catch is certified.
There are plenty of weakish in
Barnegat Bay. Lots of people turn
up their nose at Barnegat Bay fish
ing because most of the fish caught
there are schoolfish. Just take a
float along on the next trip and allow
il to drift $50 or 200 feet away and
the tide runners will furnish a lot of
sport.
The Pennsylvania brook trout sea-
Sol closed Tuesday. 1t was the most
successful season enjoyed by the
anglers in some years. The fish were
full of life and a good size. The ang-
lers claim that the law prohibiting
the capture of more than fifty to a
man a day is a good thing for the
state, as it helps the commission
Keep the streams stocked.

VICTOR BERGER GIVES
LABOR TIMELY ADVICE
Says Eugene V. Debs, While
Well Meaning, Wrote Most
Injudiciously.
Claims Appeal To Force Aids,
Those Who Have the Force -
To Act.

Victor Berger, the Socialist Oppor-
tunist, does not agree with Eugene "
Debs in his Call to Arms" article in
the Appeal, to Reason relative to the
arrest OF the officers OF the w estern
Miners. He writes as follows on the
subjects:
The western mine owners hardly try
to conceal the fact that they would
like to hang Meyer Haywood and Pet
t1bone, and thereby ann1h1late the
western Miners Union. The details OF
the case have been told so often, that
1t Is unnecessary to repeat them in
this columns Evidently the western
mine owners combine western reck-
lessness and brutality with all the
greed and innate desires of their east
ern brethren. But they apparently
lack the cuuing OF the eastern cap1taI-
list.
And therefore they will fail.
The situation in Idaho 1s in no wise
identical with the Anarchist case OF
1885, or even with the Molly Mcguire
incident Of 1876.
In the first place there is no doubt
that Molly Maguires were guilt yof sew
eral murders of workmen, foremen and
mine superintendents. The history OF
the Molly Mcguire Is not an attractive
chapter in the history OF American la
Dor. The leadership OF the Molly Ma
guires was entirely in the hands OF
Irish saloonkeepers and other doubtful
elements. The "Mollies" were simply
an imitation OF the "Rebeccas" in Ire
land in 1910, who made the shooting
OF "Orangemen" and agents special
ty. The real announcement OF Amer
lea at the time of the Molly Mcguire
episode was yet in its swaddl1ng
clothes All this made it easy for the
| railroad magnates OF Pennsylvania to
strangle the Molly Magu1res in the
| name OF law and order"-and to have
the almost unanimous consent OF the
American people.
And the case OF the Chicago Anar-
chists is also different. The Chicago
Anarchists by their speeches, their ar
ticles and their methods OF aE1tation
had excited against them not only the
entire capitalist class and the middle
class, but an overwhelming majority
OF organized worklngmen.
For years the Anarchists had treat
ed the trades unions in very much the
same way as the 3. L. p. treats them
at the present day. 1t was really only
short time before May 1886, when
eight-hour day-as a means for aeita-
ton. Before that, they had only ridil
cule for it. And when the fateful
bomb was thrown by all unknown and
sent so many policemen into the other
world. that act meant not only a chal-
lenge to the entire capitalist class of
America to deadly combat, but also to
the middle classes. These classes had
to take up the challenge or cease to
| exist. And they took it up. And they
had with them not only the mer.
chants, the txadesmen and the farmers,
but also the sympathies of the great
majority Of the working class-with
the exception OF the few Socialists and
the still fewer Anarchists, and other
radicals. And the capitalist class
| could easily wreak their vengeance.

HOW DISEASED MEAT
IS SOLD TO THE PUBLIC
Upton Sinclair Makes Strong
and Damaging Reply to j.
Ogden Armour.
Meat King Tries To Bribe T. F.
Dolan, and Is Foiled In
His Attempt.

Upton Sinclair. in his magazine re-
ply to Ogden Armour, gives a let
ter written in 1899 for publication by
a former superintendent and trusted
employe of the Armour establishment
at Chicago, a man named Thomas F.
Dolan. At the time of the scandal over
the embalmed beef furnished to the
United States soldiers, Mr.. Dolan, who
had ceased to work for Armour be-
cause conscience stricken at the sad
havoc among our men and wrote out
his letter, swearing to same before
notary
The letter give numerous concrete
examples of the damnable work of pre-
pairing diseased meat for public sale.
such as cutting off and hiding the
heads of lumpy-jaw cattle, cutting
out the tubercles from the carcasses
of tuberculous cattle condemned by
the government inspectors, etc., and
all the abominable work being done ur-
der the Instructions Of Mr.. w. E..
Pierce, superintendent Of the beef
houses Of Armour &Co. He tells Of a
steam vat into which were dumped
condemned steers under the very eyes
Of government inspectors, the vat being
filled with Kissing steam that hid the
fact that the vat had no bottom and
that the critters simply dropped
through to a floor below, where they
went into the establishments meat
along with the rest.
Animals received at the yards were
utilized the same as those received
alive, he says, even where the meat
had began to exhibit the effect of
DEATH I'm other Words" he says, "the
Armour establishment was selling
carrion."
After giving the reader such parts
Of Dolan's letter as this, Sinclair goes
counteract the effect of the exposures,
wnen they were printed by a Hearst
paper.
Armour did not sue Dolan or Hearst
for libel. He did a, more capitalistio
thing than that. He sent an agent to
Dolan with five new crisp e-thous-
and dollar bills to offer to Mr. Dolan,
providing he would make another af-
fdavit declaring that his former state
ments were false" and that he had
been paid a large sum by Hearst or
others to make them! ~.
my It was proposed DolAnsa.E Sinclair,
says, that he imme dfately take 4
steamer for Europe, after making the
new affidavit, and the the expenses of
himself and family would be paid over
there for three years!
Dolan paid Armour in kind, He
accepted the thousand dollar bills and
put them in a bank and then gave the
facts to a New York paper and dared
Mr.. Armour to try to get the money
back by legal proceedings.

ferred to was Phillip D. Armour him.
