The recent announcement by the

activities of alleged fish pirates in
Alaskan waters has drawn the fire
of Delegate Sutherland, according to
dispatches from special correspond

papers.
One of these dispatches dated
from Washington, June 5, said:
Dan Sutherland, Delegate to Con-
Fisheries which operates in Alaska,
Commenting on a statement issued
by the Department of Justice to the
effect that the Government will
wage war on the fish pirates in the
waters of Alaska, said that the large
cannery interests in Alaska are as
sisted at every turn by the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, which he
terms as an adjunct of the packers
and is under their domination and
control. In their work of usurping
the public fishing rights and in OBJ
tanning special privilege and mo-
nopolistic control of the natural
food supply of the nation, the real
danger, said the Delegate, is not the
petty thief, but the large and influ-
entail interests that seem to be al
days immune from punishment
