CONGRESS TO HEAR
FISH TRUST FIGHT

Continued from First Page)
the country. Instead 1t was learned
that a representative of the fish trust
of New York had representatives at
work in the lobby at Trenton, but
their work was in vain.
To Probe Licenses.
The question was asked of a Star
representative as to the ownership
of the nets along the shore. Atten-
ton was called to him to the law
that prevents any nonresident from
being connected with a licensed
pound net The information was also
volunteered that The Star serves no.
tice on anyone so connected that II
will start an investigation to try and
prove several rumors that are being
circulated, and, if 1t does prove its
case, an application will be made to
have the licenses annulled. This step
is not part of The Stars campaign,
but if the wholesale dealers insist in
misrepresenting. the facts at Trenton
their efforts viii prove to be won
derfully accurate boomerang.
During the day at Trenton, when
1t was learned that The Star was
to send delegation to Washington
to urge the approval Of the migra-
tory fish resolution introduced by
Congressman Linthicum, of Mary
land, many stories of the abuse OF
the food fish of New Jersey was re-
lated. Some of the stories told about
the price received by the fishermen
from the New York dealers stirred
many of the representatives.
One story was told to group OF
senators by a prominent State official
who has business with the fisher
men. Had it been told by a less in
terested person, 1t probably would
have ben dischedited, as it seems al
most impossible to believe. 1t was
told in the presence Pierce, Colgate
and Mathis. One of the prominent
fishermen along the coast of New
Jersey, caught a great quantity .oi
Goldfish last week. He cleaned and
dressed $500 pounds of the finest cod
fish that was ever shipped into New
York. It was shipped to one of the
largest dealers in the country, who
is prominent in the controlling Of
the food fish supply. The fisherman
had every reason to believe that he
would get O fair return for his catch
but imagine his feelings when he re-
ceived just $21 for his labor. Out
of the SCI he had to pay the freight
and the cost of the barrel, which re-
duced his amount to about one-third
OF a cent a pound for his weeks
catch of cod that was taken at the
risk of his life.
If there is any reader of the Stai
does not know that that very same
fish was sod in our retail markets
for eighteen cents a pound he is moi
very well posted on local conditions.
The mere fact that the member OF

as Little Birdie, which scored In the
opening race, was the only pro-
nounced choice to win. The handi-

tain Burns pulled away from his op-
ponents in the stretch and won by
two open lengths. Colquitt raced well
up with the leaders and took the
place from Royal Dolly, the favorite,
which brought up in third position.

the fish trust who received that con-
Signment of Goldfish made ten cents
a pound profit from every pound of
the catch, which amount was tackled
on the cost to the consumer. seemed
to be evidence enough to the MEM
bers of the. Senate to warrant an i'm
mediate investigation by the State.
That member of the trust took $3.50
for his profit. All he did was to lend
his anne to the shipper for the pur-
pose of shipping. The shipper had to
send the fish to him or else go out
of business. Tat is the condition in
this State. The Star has no SYM
pathy with such actions, and will use
the best that is in it to show such
conditions to the House of Congress
tomorrow. 1t is for that reason that
it is sending men to the capital who
know every angle of the nefarious
business of the fish trust, and who
will be able to prove every statement
that is made.
They will show the members of the
House of Congress that the Star Is
not opposed to the pound net fish
cries; that the pound net fisheries
are a necessity to the people; that
the pound net owners, as class. are
entitled to every protection, and that
Iney are eDIlllFu " lnC oNtASONiiS
hand of Uncle Sam.
Fishermen to Get Benefit.
They win show how the fisherman
will get a better return for his eaten
and they will show how the fisher
man In the case cited above received
but s21 for a catch on which the trust
representative received $3.50 proflt.
They will show that such things
won't exist if the migratory fish are
placed under Federal control, as then
there will be a supervision over the
Industry, which Is sadly lacking now.
This entire effort will lead to the
main reason for the Stars campaign,
and that is cheaper fish for the peo-
ple--fish that will be within reach OF
the humblest pocketbook-an no one
will suffer financially but the greedy,
grasping set of men who for the past
ten years have forced every penny
that they could out of the pockets
of the poor. who alwayst feel the
strain first, last and all the time.
When this Is done, then the Star Will
feel that 1t has won In the fight
against the high cost of living.
The Stars representatives viii be
met at Washington by Congressman
Mccoy and Congressman Townsend
who will go over the entire situation.
Both of the congressional represent
atives have followed the campaign
from the beginning. They stand ready
to help the people of their districts
to the end.
Ever scrap of evidence of the abuse
of the trust will be gone over. EVERY
report that has been gathered VIII DE
shown so that the case of the Star
viii be presented in a concrete form
and in such shape that it can be used
for future reference. Many other
States whose residents have suffered
through the Vaccinations OF the fisn
trust are becoming interested and
want all the information they can on
the subject.

GETTING TOGETHER
ON CHARITY PLAN
Trustees OF the Poor Will
Lend Their Support in
the Movement
AT LEAST $4,000
WILL BE AVAILABLE

A conference between the Charity
Committee of tho Chamber Of Com
merce and the city members OF the
Trutsees of the Poor with the exccp-
tion Of Frank Stout who was called
out Of town, was held yesterday, at
which II is believed virtually all op-
position was removed on the part of
tho county trustees 70 the unified
charity project. The plan Is for the
trustees to honor the recommendation
of members Of the Associated Chart
ties who investigate cases in their
respective districts and to provide or
ders for fuel. The county trustees
will now go over the situation with
the charities board.
The meeting was held IN tho ofiice
OF the chairman of the committee,
Josiah Marvel. Mr.. Marvel said to-
day he believed tho situation had been
fully met 80 far as the destitute OF
the city arc concerned and that there
would be no occasion for hunger or
suffering in this city this winter. lie
asserted that the unified charity pro-
1 iect meant that there would be no
duplication in the giving of relief, but
100 per cent. Of efficiency In this work.
He stated that under the unified
charity project there would be 100000
or more available for the relief OF the
needy In this city this winter. lie
said that the Associated Charities
would have about $1,000; City Council
has decided to appropriate $1,000
month. which will likely be kept uI
for several months, netting $4,000 ol
$4,000; the Trustees Of Poor will have
$4,000 to $4,000 for the poor OF th'
city and the Home Relief Committee
of which Mrs. Charles r. Miller u
chairman. has $1,000 now in hand
which will probably be increased b.
