GAMERS MORAL
CLAIM ADMITTED,
STATES STABLER
Counsel for Defense Express
es Willingness But Claims
to Be Powerless.

The Gamers have a moral claim
for relief from the new fish trap
regulation which they are fighting,
but the officers of the Government.
under their oaths. have no other re-
course than to enforce the law and
the regulations. declared f. d. Stab
Ter, special Asst. H. S. Attorney.
in the Federal District Court today
arguing against the issuance of in
functions sought by p e. Harris
&c Co. we would bo glad to do
anything we could to satisfy these
claims but we know of no way and
counsel for plaintiff has shown us
none in which we eau, he added.
Mr.. Stabler, who appeared for the
L. S. Attorney and his assistants
the u. S. Marshal and his deputies,
and Asst Fisheries Agent r. NJ.
Ball, all of whom are sought to be
enjoined from enforcing the new reg
ulations, advanced four reasons why
the njunctions should not issue. He
claimed that the construction of the
fisheries statute, asserted by the
plaintiff to be contrary to the intent
of Congress, is in direct accord with
the decision of the Circuit Court
of Appeals in the Thlinget Packing
Co.'S case several years ago; that
the facts show it is not impossible
for the Gamers to comply with the
regulations despite many affidavits
introduced yesterday signed by many
of the most prominent Gamers in the
district; in the enactment of the new
law last month. Congress adopted the
construction of the fish trap section
as the same section had been con-
strued by the appellate and lower
courts: and, finally, that the court
in equity did not have the jurisdic-
ton to grant the relief sought by
the Gamers under existing circum-
stances.
Mr. Stabler concluded his argu-
ment before Judge Reed at noon to-
day. Counsel for the plaintiff start
ed final argument at 2 p. m.
Before the noon recess was taken,
r. e. Robertson. associated in the
case with plaintiffs counsel. asked
U. s. Attorney A. G. Shoup for a
statement of the Governments con-
struction of the law. Mr.. Shoup de-
clined to give 1t, saying: 81 do not
know that | am called upon to give
any construction at this time" 1t
is understood that a report is in
circulation that the Government does
not seek to enforce an opening 25
feet wide from the top to the bot
tom of the heart walls. as the can
ners have thought to be the case
and that this led to Mr.. Robertson's
query.
