The Alaska fisherman., 1924-02-15
Seattle writer is entirely ignorant of

respect to the above IS that there is fish trust, that they have meet ings, or understandings, that this trust controls the price paid for sal mon, and general policies, and that this fish trust not only got MT. Hoover to create the reserves, but to create them according to the ex- act lines of gear and territory as determined on at their San Francisco meeting, and that MT. Hoover gave the members of the trust permission to pack more cases under his con- servation CD reserve than these same canneries had ever packed be- fore.
 2. MT. Sutherland has a perfect right to ask the courts to determine the legality of MT. Hoover's act.
 3. The prosecution of cannerymen grew out of the sale by the accused cannery men for the use of the "boys in France" over eight hundred thous and cans of putrid fish at price named by the cannerymen themselves.
 4. The tax now called confiscatory was determined at Juneau after ex- tensive hearings and accepted by the cannerymen's representatives at that time.
 5. It is common knowledge that the Packers are habitual violators of all closed season laws; also that they pay bonus to many of their en- plcyees for fish caught on Sunday; and that they furnish the bail and counsel to their employees when caught violating the law.
 And yet, the canneryman and his lawyers make the laws governing our fisheries; they appoint the off cers who have charge of law enforce ment; they remove any officer who gets too independent; they resent any inspection or control of "their busi- ness; they send out their crews to catch fish unlawfully; they take fish from their own traps when caught on Sundays; they place their traps across fish streams in violation of law, and then find respectable" papers and lawyers to defend them
 There are a few exceptions to the above class of cannerymen; very few. We made the above charges before the cannerymen in 1921 at the Seattle hearing and dared them to question us for we promised that if they did, we would name the names, and some of them were sitting in the same room.

ALASKA MAY ASK
F 0 R STATEHOOD
SAYS Gov. BONE
Governor Thinks Ala S k a
Will Grow Rapidly-In-
dian Voting Presents
Serious Problem.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Gov. Scott
c. Bone. who is in this city, de-
clared that Alaska may ask for
Statehood within the next four years
and that. Congress may be called
upon to take immediate action in
the matter OF voting by Indians
which, he said, presents a very ser
ious political problem in the Ter.
ritcry.
Gov. Bone * in this city spending
a vacation, having returned from
the conference of Governors recently
held in Florida
Gov. Bone based his conclusion
that Alaska may be seen asking for
Statehood on his belief that the
population of the Territory would in
crease rapidly hereafter.
1--WE believe, that with the de-
velopment of Alaska's natural re-
sources, the onward march of in
dustry will see an incidental jump
in population in the next four years
which may warrant the demand for
Statehood said the Governor
Gov. Bone sid that Alaska's GOO,
900 square miles. is now supporting
population of only 10000, half of
which is white. 81
Coy. Bone explained that the move
for enfranchisement of Indians is
serious political problem and may
call for action of Congress.
