HENRY O'MALLEY TO SET
 ASIDE FISHERY LAWS
Proposes to Set Aside Laws Governing Traps On Account Of Cost to Trap Owners

The court of appeals at San Fran cisco decided in the case of Thlinket Packing Co., V United States (236 Fed 1O9) that all traps had to be opened in a certain way, to-wit: "1t is not compliance with the act to lower or lift 25 feet of the web in a V-shape, but a whole section 25 feet long of the net or webbing should be raised or lowered"
 In other words, the whole 25 feet must be opened horizontally, like the raising or lowering of window shade, during the weekly closed sea- son.
 Since this very plain decision by the Court of Appeals EIGHT YEARS AGO, each big canneryman or trap man has carried around in his pock- ct letter signed by the United States Fish Commissioner saying that this law would not be enforced. posed to permit the precise thing which the Court of Appeals said vas unlawful.
 This year, under the sweeping authority of the White Fish Bill, the Bureau of Fisheries announced that the law as interpreted by the Court of Appeals must be enforced even though a dead letter for eight years. Since this ruling, the trapmen have asked the District Court to prevent any officer from enforcing this pro- vision of Congress, placed in the law to guarantee the escapement of fish from the trap once a week.
 These trapmen have made pc tition, signed by practically every trapowner, saying that they simply cannot construct trap which cali be- opened in the manner required by law, and they have the audacity to ask the Court, therefore, to let them run anyhow. Burglars asking the court to set aside the laws simply because they cannot burglarize law fully.
 The argument they use is most singular. It is that they would lose a lot of money if they are not al lowed to set aside the law. A bur- glar could advance the same argu- ment.
 Now comes Henry O'Malley who says that he has been asking Con- gress for years to give him absolute power so that he could make any regulation necessary to save the fish. He has this power now under the White Fish Bill, but that it will not
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-07-15

be enforced this year because the money loss will be too great.
 Let O'Malley and Hoover Company answer the people of the United States; 1st, Is it not fact that this law has been on the books since 1906?
 End, Is it not fact that the very point at issue was raised and de- cided in the case above cited, eight years ago?
 3rd, Is it not fact that the Blu reau of Fisheries sent letter to all large trapowners stating that these trapmen need not fear for they would not be molested by the Bureau if they only turned down one corner Of the web?
 4th, Is it not a fact that you have already informed the big trapmen that this regulation to which they object will not be enforced this year and that the fishery laws of the United States which you are sworn to uphold will be dead letter at least for this summer?
 If you, MT. O'Malley, would pub fish the telegrams which brought about your appointment to your job as Fish Commissioner, the people of the United States would readily un- derstand who your bosses are.
 The people of the United States have a right to know the truth. Man cannot serve God and Nam mon."
