THE CHRONICLES
 FISHERIES EDITION

After examining the recent annual fisheries edition" pub lished in August by the Ket- chikan Chronicle, we think the edition should be dedicated to the patrons of that paper, to- wit the cannery men and trap men.
 The dedication" is positive ly insulting to fishermen and a rank deception on the class ot workmen which the Ket- chikan Chronicle continually fights. Those who know Ed ward c. Morrissey and his bosses, for he is mere tool in the hands of others, know that Morrissey has always fought the fishermen.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-09-15

among the most expert fisher men in Alaska.
 The average earnings of seiners is $1OO after paying current expenses. The average family of each seiner is three.
 A limited number of seiners did better than this on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island. There few seine crews caught 5O,OOO salmon, while the majority caught only 10000.
 This writer remembers the time when he caught over 35,OOO salmon IN ONE HAUL.
 The truth in a nutshell is that Morrissey talks for trap men, and as their attorney, he can state with supreme satis- faction that Most of the traps have done we'll"
 That is the way he wants it.

The Hypocrisy

ITO the fishermen and their families who constitute the greater part of the population ot ketchlkan, this, the Fisheries Edition of the Ketchikan Alas ka Chronicle, is respectfully dedicated in the hope that it may benefit the industry by making it better understood and appreciated at home and abroad"
 The Proof
 The proof is in the sneering remark made by the same per son on August 21st; General ly speaking, it has been a suc- cessful fishing year. The can nerles, with few exceptions, have larger packs than last year. Most of the traps, oper- ated by men of experience, have done we'll. Some few of the seiners complain, but they are mostly those who have kept to the inner waters. Those on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island are reported to have done fairly we'll"
