common accusation of fishermen when discussing their losing fights political otherwise this 'The other bunch have too much money" else "Our men sold out when referring to legislators city coun cilmen and even certain Mayors.
 This may be in part true
 But another powerful is that fishermen do not stick to their friends while the other crowd stick to theirs This is true in business and politics.
 good example is the two newsapers in Petersburg
 The Alaska Native Brotherhood started weekly pa. The Alaskan" in Petersburg last year to print information which suppressed by special interest pa- pers.
 Four months later, cannery interests through the Bank of Petersburg got Jack Schoettler reporter on the Ketchikan Chronicle to start a paper there "The Press" Jack knows which side "his bread is but tered and has become strong supporter worst of cannery interests, schoenwald
 Suppose the cannery and other exploiting interests should succeed, the fisherman class of people would 'We ought have paper to tell our side of the story'
 You won't get it from Jack for he said recently Believe me, Pm going to stick right to where the money is." Isn't that why Jack and Marquam were bedfellows recently?

away from the Caledonia prison farm
in Halifax county, where he had
served II months of four-year sen.
tence for larceny and gained his free
dom under the cover of darkness. Co
ing secretly to his home in CASTOR

prosperity, but the freedom thus
gained failed to bring peace Of mind
