can get into them for an account un-
less their credit is Of the best.
Another one the party that con-
tributes his catch 10 that II the New
York wholesalers. said that he didn't
mind the middlemau taking ali he
could get but he did object II max
ing combinations and refusing TO
take all Of the catch. The only loser
in this case IS the fishermen. He IS
compelled to throw his catch away
and be censored for il. If the fact hap
pened To get 10 the newspapers.
Many such stories We're related by
men interested in the fishing business.
While they were very much opposed
to any interference ny the star, or
any one else. they now are fully con-
WINGED that he only one that would
suffer If the state took control was
the middlemen. Those persons are
doing all they can 10 stop state, or
any other oontrO They have the aid
of a few influential citizens Of New
Jersey who reside within easy walk
Ing distance of the fisheries along the
coast, and to whom The star Will pay
particular attention within the next
few days The Star viii give 10 the
public the names of the men who have
shared in profits of the middlemen by
being interested in freezers.
There are many interesting things
that remain TO be told in this cam
paign, but The Star has hesitated only
because IL wanted To win this fight
fair and square and guard against
any harm coming TO the fisheries.
But The Star will not stand FOR polit
zeal interference or lobbying, as long
as II can show these people up.
When the Star published and pro-
posed new bill for introduction in
the Legislature. it realized that, haV-
ing but few hours in which To have
such a bill drawn because of Friday
being the last day to introduce one,
ii was deemed hest To get it in in the
hest form possible and then have it
amended where it might prove to be
defective. The Star enlisted the ser
vices Of a man who has had consider
able experience in fishing matters. He
was agreed upon as the proper person
to handle the matter at the Trenton
conference.
Since the introduction of the bill by
Assemblyman Byrne, of Essex county
suggestion after suggestion has been
received from interested readers, and
sA'3t many Va trttili go tt4at
unconstitutional. That is very big
word. On many an occasion the word
has stood in the way of the better
menl of the peoples condition. Ii is
the first objection that meets every
popular movement.
LAWYERS by the score have declared
that the State has no right 10 become
