Furuseth and the Packers

If citizens could really hear the secret agree ments made by the fish canners, they would learn great deal to prove what we have always said; that there is such thing as fish trust, that they are engaged in manipulating officials in high position, that they make secret agree ments to control prices paid fishermen and prices at which they sell their goods.
 Once in awhile, these fish barons make the mistake of proposing their unlawful purposes to someone who is not with them. Andrew Fuluseth in his testimony before the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, last January said in part
 ''But what you want to do, as 1 understand it, and what everybody wants to do, the cannery- men, the fishermen, the people in Alaska, and this committee, and everybody who appears be- fore it, absolutely unanimous, is to conserve fish. But l want to call your attention to one thing, that this is the first time have ever had occa- sion to listen to a serious argument from the cannerymen in favor of conserving the fish, and l come to the conclusion it had something to do with what somebody tried to do with me out in California about two years ago. They came to and said 'NoW, look here Furuseth you are president of the International Seamen's Union and you have something to do with this fishing business and l want to talk with you about it, l said Yes, 1 will be glad to-" He said "Well, we have a lot of purse seiners coming up there and they rapidly destroying everything. Now, we want to find some way of getting rid of
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-07-15

Hoover to fix that through reservations, and through such regulations to make purse seines impossible up there; they cannot sell their fish; they cannot take them to certain places even if they do catch them out in the open waters I said 'IIod on how you going to be able to do that under the present law" "Oh, well, we think we can find way to do it, Now 1 said No, thank you; l won't have any thing to do with that.
 "That is two years ago. They got the secre- taly of the Alaska fishermen in amongst them and they simply threw smoke screen between the facts and his poor eyes, and he sat there and said word" QIaughter)
 The question which every informed person must naturally ask is ths Was Hoover fixed by the packers charged? Just about the time to which MT. FuIuseth referred, the Fish Barons got MT. Hoover to establish "fish reserves af- ter the Secretary of Agriculture had refused to establish a "bird reserve" at the behest of the gentlemen. In this "fish reserve to con- fish," Hoover did exactly what MT. Fu1u- seth has testified to. Hoover limited @ the pack by establishing figure two and three times larger than the cannerymen had packed in many years past, even before the time when the Bureau of Fisheries admit there any danger of depletion Then Mr. Hoover placed the control of the gear in the hands of these same cannerymen exactly as outlined by Mr. Fuluseth. The limitation of gear about which Mr. Hoover speaks is only apparent for the de- crease in traps was merely the elimination of dummy traps,' devise used by packers to keep other tlapmen from placing another trap nearby, thus cutting down the catch of the real trap. By eliminating this dummy trap device, Mr. Hoover again played into the hands of the trapn2en and saved the fish trust hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 We Aaskans making the appeal to the citizens of the United States to give us a hear
 ing. Forget that MT. Hoover helped to pass along food during the war; and consider the facts which are being handed out in this consid~ eIation of the fisheries problem.
 Mr. Hoover has done and is still doing every thing required of him by the fish trust There is nothing that he has omitted doing Henry OMaley, the present fish commissioner, the special selection of the fish packers to that high office; Dr. Charles II. Gilbert, of Leland Stan ford University, their special Investigator, knows exactly what facts to suppress and pass over lightly and quickly E. M. Ball, the field agent of the Bureau of Fisheries in Alaska is the man who allowed the Booth Fisheries to con- stluct an illegal trap last year at Staney's
