According to recent revelations the
Fish combine is not q local or State
affair, but it has secured grip on
the fisheries OF the Great Lakes and
the Atlantic Coast as well as those
Of the Pacific seaboard, On this coast
il forces fishermen to sell their catch
Of salmon, bass, shad, halibut and 9TH
er food fishes at from to ; cents per
pound and it makes consumers pay
from Is to 2S cents per pound, Its
baneful effects on the fisheries OF the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic seaboard
are manifested by the steps taken
at Chicago few days ago to proceed
against il as an unlawful trust Great
ed for and conducting its business in
restraint Of trade and in violation OF
the interstate commerce law. The in
flueuee of the trust on the California
consumer in respect to Eastern hsh
Iinportations is illustrated by the fact
that, before it was organized, fnnan
haddies, for example Were retailed
in the bay cities at Il IL cents per

struck both of its tiny playmates in
their pink faces Both kittens died
almost instantly but not until the wO-
