Black Bass Is Highly FRIED
By All Fishermen of Indiana
No Other Genus of Fish Has Ever Caused So Much
Scientific Discussion, According to
Western Writer.

No fish found i'm Indiana waters IS so
highly priced by the angler as the black
bass. nor has any. genus Of fish ever
caused so much confusion scientifically
or otherwise.
Through unfortunate circumstances It
was first brought TO the light OF science
in France, although il IS strictly an
American fisW At one time four species
Of the black bass seemed to exist, which
came about in a peculiar manner. At
present only two species are recognized,
namely. the small-moutn black bass
and the large-mouth black bass, or, as
the last named is frequently but in
correctly named the grass bass, green
bass. bayou bass, pond bass, straw
bass, or Oswego bass.
In the year 1900 drawing Of a large
mouth black bass was sent by gentle
mar from South Carolina to q French
naturalist by the name Of Lacepede.
The figure, with the accompanying de-
scriptions, was sent under the name of
trout or trout perch. Lacepeje gave it
the name of labrus salmoides. mean
ing salmon-like. One year later the
same naturalist received a speciman of
the small-mouth black bass, but by
accident il was an abnormal fish. with
a dorsal fin which had been bitten or
torn off In part when It was young.
leaving il with only a small fin on its
back Accordingly Lacepedes named
II miCropterus dolomieu. micropterus
meaning a small fin and dolomieu the
name OF a famous French geolosist
after whom doIomite. a sJone-lnSe min
eral, is also named.
In 1917 perfect specimen OF the small
mouth was taken from Lake Champlain
by RafinesqUe, also French naturalist,
at that time residing In America He.
evidently not recognizing Lacepede's de-
scription Of either the large or small
mouth black bass. gave It a name of
his own, Bodianus achigau. Cuvier and
his co-worker, Valenciennes. both
French naturalists. In 1928 received
specimen OF the large-mouth bass taken
from Lake Huron. Strange 20 say, this
was also a mutilated specimen. The
last two rays Of the spinOus dorsaI fin
were torn off, leaving what appeared to
be two distinct dOrsal fms.
The specimen had been sent to them
under the name Of black bass. and not
recognizing any former description of
the fish by other naturalists, he named
n Huro nigriC9us, meaning the black
huron This peculiar train Of circuIn-
stances left matters in a very unsatls-
factory state, leaving the impression

be always subject to their beck and
call, pay them fees and be told by
them when and where to work. and
for whom. You will discover the
same general conditions underlying
all these daily attacks.
In every case the workingman pre-
fers to be free. He has that right.
He then tries to go to work. He and
his family sorely need the money for
food or he wouldn't run the risk of
his life. Many such a man has wiped
the tears away and quoted the fears
of loving wife, left with kiss on
her lips, set his manly jaws and walk
ed into shower of stones and bullets
to win food for the loved mother
and babies
A good many have been brought
home on stretchers with blood ooz-
ing from nose and ears, some cold,
while some gradually recover, and
carry for life the grim marks of the
union label"
They are your fellows, my friends,
and yet you supinely read the &C
counts and say ''too BAD
Have you grown so callous that
you care nothing for the sufferings
Of these men who need food and
these helpless ones who rely on the
life and strength of husband and
father?
Let us hope that soon you may be
moved by a just God to rise in your
might and by voice and pen, by vote
and right arm, you will do a mans
part in protecting yourselves and
your brothers from this onslaught on
American citizens. This cruel war
fare carried on not always to raise
wages, but to establish union control
kick out the independent men and
establish the label"
Unfortunately the Tabor move
ment' which started many years ago
honestly enough has fallen under
control of lot of tyrannical, vicious
men of violent tendencies
There are too many to attempt to
name. You can recall them. They
include men who have planned the
murders of miners, teamsters, press
men and carpenters, shoemakers and
independent workmen of all kinds.
Many of them have escaped hanging
by an outraged public only because
juries became terror-stricken and
dared not convict them.
Some have been punished slightly
and some, including the principal of
ficers of this nefarious crew, are now
under sentence to Imprisonment, but
have appealed their cases.
Right here some apologist rises to
protest against speaking thus of la
boring men," Bless your dear heart,
it isn't the honest and real workman
who does these things, it is the ex-
citable ones and the toughs and thugs
who don't work except with their
mouths, but have secured control

You've often been importuned and
many have been commanded by ad-

Looks harmless on it's face doesn't
it?
1t really is demand that you boy
colt the products made by over eigh-
ty per cent. of our American work

pay fees to-, and obey the dictates of
the union leaders.
1t demands that you ask the mer-

Importance
1t seeks to tell you what to buy
and what to refuse. The demands
are sometimes most insolent, with a
"holier than thou" impudence.
It demands that you take away
the living of this eighty per cent. of
American working men and women.
Is that clear?
Why should a small body of work
men ask you to help starve the larger
body?
There must be some reason for the
union LABEL scheme.
Run over in your mind and re-
member how they carry on their
work.
During a discussion about working
or striking in the coal regions, about
twenty-five thousand men preferred
to work; they had wives and babies
to feed. The union men said openly
in heir convention that if the en-
ployers didn't discharge these men
they (the union mem would kill
them.
So they dynamited about dozen
homes, MANNED and crippled women
and children and brutality assaulted
scores of these independent workers.
The big boys of the union men
were taught to pound the school chill
dren of the independent men. How
would you like to have your little
girl, shortly grown from the toddling
baby who used to sit ON your lap and
