The Alaska fisherman. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1923-1932, 1927-02-15
KING DODO

The Alaska YEARBOOK published by the
ALASKA WEEKLY contains an article entitl-
ed CONSERVATION OF ALASKA FISH
ERIES by Henry O'Malley, United States Com
missioner of Fisheries, which for expression
OF self satisfaction and SNUG egotism surpasses
any of the propaganda yet issued from the De-
partnent of Commerce The principal occupa-
ton of that Department is known to be the
spreading of propaganda and there is no doubt
that the most efficient aggregation of political
propagandists in the whole wide world today
is drawing Government salary through the De-
partment of Commerce.
One OF the many queer and grotesque state
r1ents made by O'Malley in his article on the
conservation of the Alaska fisheries is: "There
has been splendid spirit of cooperation shown
by the industry with the Department in its ef-
forts to administer the fisheries of Alaska"
Mr.. O'Maley should know that there is not
single resident fisherman from Dixons Entrance
to Norton Sound who does not condemn the
administrative methods of O'Malley's bureau
which has driven the coast fishermen from their
fishing grounds and placed the large canning
corporations in absolute control of the salmon
CATCH
A careful analysis Of O'Mal1eys article can
bring but conclusion to the mind of any
reader who has knowledge of the Alaskan sal
mon fishery, and that is that when O'Malley
speaks of the Industry" he has in mind only
those who have invested money in canneries
in Alaska and when he speaks of the co-opera-
ton shown by the ''industry' he really means
that the Industry" is pleased with the whole
arrangement of rules and regulations which he
put into effect at the request and for the benefit
of the Industry"
When O'Malley divided up the trap fishing
grounds among the "industry" in such a man.

dependent fishermen from the fishing grounds
to conserve the salmon supply and then to per-
NIT more intensive fishing by the Industry"
until the salmon pack is larger than ever be-
fore. This is conservation with a vengeance,
conservation by and for the Industry"
Listen again to O'Malley: "It has been the
constant policy to |allow the industry to have
the fullest liberties and opportunities in the
prosecution of fishing activities"
What O'Malley means is that it is his policy
to allow the Industry" (the packers of Chicago
San Francisco, Portland and Seattle) the fullest
liberties and opportunities" This attitude of
Henry's toward the interests that selected him
for his job has been so obvious ever since his
elevation to the Commissionship that we wond-
why he should make mention of it in his
article in the YEARBOOK.
The salmon pack of 1926 and the remarkable
earnings of the packers indicate that Henry
allowed them the fullest liberties" while the
poverty Of fishermen and their families all along
the Alaskan coast this winter bears evidence
that those human beings outside of what Henry
calls the Industry" did not participate in the
liberties and opportunities" which he accord
ed to the friends and patrons.
The whole trouble with OMalley is that he
has not the slightest conception of the meaning
of human rights in their relation to "industry."
"Industry" to him is invested capital and moth
ing He lives in an age Of money worship
and is as much devotee of the money system
as pagan is in the worship of his wooden gods.
I realize that in these days one who crticises
the system that O'Malley worships is likely to
incur the disp1easure of all those who profit by
it, but if those rights that all people are sup
posed to enjoy under our Government are to be
maintained, or those rights that the independ-
ent fishing class Of Alaska has lost are to be
recovered some one must offer protest even
though he lose standing with the financial elect
O'Mal1ey stands high with the investors
of the Pacific Coast and he thoroughly enjoys

Certain the rather timid little

even dashing, didn't dream as he
whistled over his shaving and
picked out a holiday tie that on

TO the chicken dinner that was set
before him.

And even a man who is soon TO

In another cell, similar dinner
was set before Ruth Snyder, who
looked with interested eyes on the

might properly celebrate the Fourth

went back to her love stories and
Judd Gray TO his Bible.
And dancing before the eyes of
the little corset salesman, obscur-

six lines of verse once written by
Aleister Crowley, about some man
just like Judd Gray:
Thus was tangled in some house of hell,
Giving mine own souls beauty up to lust,
Hoping to build some hope impregnable
Against my love: instead the deep disgust

And left my manhood twisted in her spell. p

Reading LoUe Story

oSSINING, N. Y, July b.--"And

wistfully on the day"
The Fourth of July dawned in
the Sing Sing death house, and a
woman described by a Thousand
American newspapers as an icy
blonde read a love story magazine,
while her erstwhile lover, in his
separate cell, thumbed a Bible and
looked with daZed eyes at the
stone walls about him.
One day follows another with
little to mark it from its fellows
nowadays in the lives of Ruth

outside. All that was very far

CADET UNIFORM
ROW UP AGAIN

Members Of the committee on
athletics and Fairgrounds of the
Board of Education will meet with
officers of the high school cadet
corps in the Franklin Administra.
ton Building tomorrow afternoon
in an effort to settle the con-
troversy over the awarding Of the
contract for the new CADET uni
forms.
The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, chair
man of the committee has re-
commended the awarding OF the
contract to a firm other than the
lowest bidder, arguing that the
low bidder had not complied
with the specifications, calling for
the establishment of a local office.
When the recommendation OF the
committee was questioned by Henry
GiIligan, another board member. it
developed that there was Il differ
ence in approximately % cents
per uniform. Awarding of the
work calls for an expenditure OF
more than $4,000 by the new
cadet recruits.
After an hour of debate, at the
last board meeting the question
was referred back to the committee
for investigation, with full power
to act.
