Chapter VII

Joan had had supper with Lancas-

the fight was raging.
She had sat on the veranda with
him. had talked with him, had seen
the better soul of the man rise to the
surface as he struggled with the NOR

his half dose again, and, as his
strength revived and the agony de-
parted. she had seen the facile, lying
spirit enter into him.

intolerable and subsection preferable.
There was an hour of hideous
battle. but somehow she managed to
keep him quiet till midnight. And
seated beside him, watching him. Joan
came to the conclusion that this was

THE BLACKLIST

sell their fish were met in nearly every instance with this statement by every canneryman, "1'm sorry. l want your fish. I would like to buy them from you, but I cannot take your fish because I will be prosecuted if I take them. If you can get permit from the marshal or district attorney, will take them."
 In several instances, the cannery- man would pull out of his pocket, or from the office files, or from the safe, "black list," on which were listed the names of thirtysix inde- pendent seine boats. And then the canneryman would say, "Here is the list of boats from which l am not allowed to buy fish,"
 On August 9th, several fishermen came to my office and wanted to find out what this list was, and to see if there was any way in which they could get off the list.
 So I called up the Assistant Dis trict Attorney, Lester Gore, and asked him if there was black list as there were men in my office who said that cannerymen were re- fusing to buy fish unless they could get a permit from him. MT. Gore answered that he would not discuss the proposition. When pressed him for an explanation, he reiterated that he was not discussing the matter, so then I said "All right" and hung up.
 But when I went up to his office and sat down at his desk, he did talk.
 He said, '"There is nothing that I can do. I am determined to stop pirating of fish,"
 I argued, "But what about the fish that are being brought in. There will be about 100000 fish brought in within the next day or two. And further more, aren't you convicting these men without trial?"
 He answered, "Of course 1 don't like to hurt innocent men; but I am determined to stop pirating. These men on the list are not even my list. These names were given me by the cannerymen. don't know most of the boats. But they male up the list"
 Just then Marshal Beaumont came in and said to Gore:
 "You got any more lists?"
 I asked him, "Why don't you give mo 2 conv 0f the blacklist ?"
 I then addressed both men and said that it was not right to stop buying fish from these men without giving them any warning, and that the very least "you and Beaumont" could do would be to let the men deliver
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-08-15

soon MT. Gore was there. All look ed at the fish and now say that it was plain to everybody that the fish were indeed seine fish, and so Heck man bought the fish.
 On the 8th, last Saturday, how ever, the Yankee brought in load of fish and nobody would buy because of that list that nobody now wanted to father. They all referred him to MT. Gore, so Ed Young and I went to see him.
 Gore said he had nothing to do with the blacklist. I accused him of calling the meeting for the cannery- men at which the blacklist was made up, to which he answered. "I called the meeting of the cannerymen and they met here in my office; but I did not make up the black list for you know that I don't know any of the fishermen. You probably know more of them than I do. The can nerymen furnished the names"
 said: "But you made the list and Beaumont sent them out"
 Gore: "No I did not, and Beau mont did not send them out"
 Paul: "Yes, but Beaumont came into this office the other day and before he saw me he said, "You got any more of those lists, Lester?' You answered Mo- What did he mean when he said, You got any more of those lists?'
 At another time in our talk Gore said:
 Gore: "Kit Kittles came up here and I went down to Heckman's with him and I told Heckman that if the fish were legitimately caught, he could buy them. And sure enough they were seine fish all right. Any body could see that"
 Paul: "Well, why not go down with Young here to Nunan?"
 Gore: "No I wont. I don't want to get mixed up with this business. I guess I went too far when l went down with Kittles."
 Paul: "Well, you did it for one citizen, why not for another?"
 Gore: "No. I wont do it. Pm going to keep out of it."
 Paul. "How can you when you started it? You are in it up to your eyes. The cannerymen make no bones about it. They place the entire blame upon you."
 And so we left.

affidavit that their fish were pro- cured lawfully? The mere fact that somebody suspects that the fish came from a trap does not make it so. Perhaps some of these men do rob traps, but I know a number who are getting their fish honestly. Can't they make an affidavit ?"
 Gore said, "No. I cannot give a permit. My advice to you, Paul, is that you tell your clients to take their fish to the nearest cannery that does not have telegraphic com munication and get rid of them."
 Beaumont said, "You will have to hurry to get Wards Cove because l am going right out there.'
 Beaumont asked Gore if he had more lists that he was out of them. Gore replied that he did not. Beau mont saw some on the table and said, "How about these?" Gore an swered, "Oh, that is not complete?" Beaumont said, Cant we get stenographer to type them off? Can't we have Irene? I'll pay her." Gore said, "I think you could"
 Conditions got worse on August 7th and Sth, because by this time the cannerymen were throwing the blame of the black list on the dis trict attorney entirely, and the dis trict attorney was passing the buck to the cannerymen.
 Nobody seemed to know just who started the blacklist, but everybody was afraid to buy from any boats so listed and on some others that were not listed, regardless of anything the men could do. Some men offered to sign affidavits showing where and how the fish were caught, but even that would not avail.
 On Friday Kit Kittles on the Sel ca brought in a load of fish and took them to the Pure Food Fish Company. J. R. Hickman looked at the fish and said that he would like to buy them, that they were good fish that they were undoubtedly seine fish and honestly caught, but 'I can do nothing unless you get a permit from MT. Gore" In this same cannery's office, the entire list of 36 boats was posted.
 Kittles went to see MT. Gore who said that he had nothing to do with the blacklist. And so Kittles could not find out anything; could not find out who was responsible, who started it, but there he was without relief.
 However, MT. Gore said that he would go down with him. Kittles went away and met a MT. O'Brien and they got to talking. O'Brien said he was the one who had started this

MERIDIAN ALSO
BESTs THE LOCALS

The battered Mountain Home bas-
ketball squad went from Nampa to
Meridian Saturday last, where they
met the Meridian High hoopsters in
the evening. Meridian nosed out the
locals in a close game by the score of
1912. Inability of the Mountain
Home players to make free throws
was responsible for their defeat, al
though the team was handicapped by
the fact that they were not used to
playing on a court where there were
no out-of-bounds.
But the Meridian squad did not
appear to be the same which was so

The visitors were pleased with the
brand of refereeing which they en-
countered in Meridian.
