GREAT FISH TRUST. (Ap-.
 plause) THAT CAN BE DONE"
 Now the point I wish to make
 in this last quotation is that in
 1916 I favored this identical plan
 of leasing these trap sites in
 Alaskan waters, and the House of Representatives agreed with
 me. I have favored that plan ever since, and do now FAVOR TT.
 Possessory Rights in Trap Sites
 The old English pound net was carried into the colonies, and when salmon canneries were es- tablished in California and Ore gon more than a half century ego, the canners constructed them there. Traps or pound nets were constructed in Alaska by the salmon canners as early as 1878, or more than fifty years ago. For half a century the right of the trap owner, who con- structed and used his trap on Alaskan salmon grounds, was respected and protected by the courts under the law which gives the prior occupant of public lands the exclusive right thereto as long as he continues his actu- al use and occupation thereof. A contest arose between the prior occupant and jumper in re- cent years, and Judge Brown, of the Valdez division held that the dismantling of the trap in the fall, after the fishing season had lapsed, constituted an aban donment of the trap site, and hat the Jumper" who got on the site a few days earlier than he prior occupant in the spring vas entitled to the legal posses ion thereof.

NRsz 7ss# Nj FsssH Nj FssfKs vYyx,Ts Act of Congress of June 6, 1924, entitled An Act for the protec- tion of the fisheries of Alaska, and for other purposes. It is substantially identical with the one proposed by me in 1916 in my effort to defeat the Alexan- der Bill, which was only defeated by the happy accident that the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries had only a single day in which to secure it's pas sage, and failed to do so because of the many amendments offer ed by me. Under the House rules, if it failed (as it did) to pass that day, it could not be called again that session of Congress.
 I now call your attention to the efforts made to secure the adoption of the substitute trap site leasing bill in 1916, and to my statement in relation to that matter on December 13, 1916, as contained in the House proceed ings of that day where the fol- lowing colloquy occurred:
 "Mr. Reilly. MT. Chairman, Will the gentleman yield?
 "Mr. Wickersham. Certainly.
 "Mr. Reilly. You stated a few moments ago that there are no laws at the present time covering the subject mat ter of this bill regarding these locations for fishing.
 "Mr. Wickersham. Yes sir.
 ''Mr. Reilly. What necessity, if any, is there for new legis- lation along that line?
 "Mr. Wickersham. I think there is necessity for it, and I PROPOSED TT TO THE COMMITTEE THE COMMIT TEE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO, AND I PROPOSED A LEASING SYS- ITEM OF THESE TRAP SITES.

Virginia Worker
Framed By Bosses

WELSH, West Va.-Andrew Spe-
kar, arrested here while at work in
one of the Consolidated Coal Co.'S
mines, has been held and grilled by
the police since early last June.
While he was being arrested, his
room in the company boarding
house was raided. The police took
his belongings and sent them to
Washington.
Spehar, who was active in col
lecting subscriptions for the Rad
mic, the Daily Worker, and the La
Dor Defender, was turned in by his
landlord, one of the mine bosses,
for spreading "red propaganda"
When Jack Rose, the Internation-
al Labor Defense representative, in
sisted on bail, a cash bond of $500
was demanded by the court before
Spehar would be released. The ter
ror and poverty of the West Vir-
ginia miners is so great that this
amount has not yet been raised.
The police expect to frame" q
charge against Spehar by July IA
so far they haven't been able to in
vent one. He faces trial in Welsh
West Va, on July II.
In their efforts to secure the de-
portation of this worker the mine
owners and the rotten boss courts
are working hand in glove against
Comrade Spehar.
