Pt. Baker. You let this trap to Seow Bay. When you did this you delib- erately deprived the trollers at Pt, Baker, many of which live there the year around, of their trolling grounds. You deprived them of the right to make a living. And for what reason. Answer that one, Mr Bell. Alaska is such a large country made up of an amazing length of coast line Yet you, MT. Bell. could not find a trap location for the Scow Bay eannery without robbing the troIlers at Pt. Baker to do 1t.
 Other things have come to my at tention such as you allowing the traps on the north side to brail fish three days after the season closed while at the same time your Texas cowboys were herding our seiners out of fish creeks because the sea son was closed.
 There are many more things that can be laid at your door. But we are satisfied to ask you for your resig- nation and to see to it that you quit, and that these eleven traps he outlawed.
 Another item. the abolition of the fish traps to come as follows:
 1889 to allow traps to the line.
 1940 to allow 1 trap to the line.
 1941 to allow no traps at all
 And the last item: After all sal mon streams have been abundantly stocked with seed fish which they will be by August 1st in this dis trict. Then to place no restrictions as to what kind of gear is to be used but the unions themselYes eX- pei from the union any man who enters the salmon stream and fishes above the mean low water mark. When a salmon has run the gauntlet of traps and entered the stream, leave it there for seed.
 Respectfully yours,

for fish.
 Now, Mr. Bell, the fishermen of Alaska intend not to fish until August 1 in this district and other opening dates for other localities to be determined by locals on the ground. And we intend to keep fishing until Sept on the north and Sept on the south respect ively.
 The next item on the program is the eleven new trap locations you saw fit to trade to corporations (new models for old; and after the Bureau let it be known that there would be no more new locations let
 l will try and illustrate your loy- alty to Alaska, your fairness to or ganized labor. your honesty in of flee by giving the public facts on two trap sites and how you hand deled them.
 The first one have called 10 your attention before and told you the purse seiners were interested In an explanation. Of course you be- ing so fair to Labor you have as yet given Us no reply. l am speak ing of the trap location at Pt. Ber- ". This area. you know, MT Bell was closed in 1926 and closed so tight that Sebastian Stuart of Tyee lost the two traps there. This area according to all available informa- ton is still closed. Yet you, after using the peoples tax money for eleven years to protect this sock eye stream with a watchman; MT. Peterson. good watchman was there for years and he is so good that he even denied me the right to catch enough sockeye to eat out Of this stream. You see. MT. Bell, know the subject l am talking about. l lived there for thirteen years
 Now ill this year of 1938 you chose to turn the entire stream oY- CT to Skinner and Eddy. You al- lowed a trap site to go in exactly between the two traps you forced Tyee to take out, and under the same law and closed area. Now MT. Bell. can you explain why you should violate the trust of the of flee you hold After all, the people are paying you your salary. Or was there some other consideration that made you think it worth while to turn traitor on Alaska, the resi- dents of Alaska who you are sup posed to serve, and even the poor lowly humpy which you seem bent on exterminating?
 If a seiner had done these
 things he would be arrested tor
 robbing a fish stream and for
 fishing in closed area. He
 would be bulldozed into pleading
 guilty so he could go back fish
 ing. and convicted without trial.
 Things like this have happened,

LETTERS
Petersburg. laska August 30, I93S

Petersburg, Alaska
 August 30, 1888 Editor, Wrangell Sentinel
 This letter is d personal letter from myself directed and intended as direct challenge to Mr. Bell and his entire Bureau of Fisheries. But do not jump at conclusions, Mr. Bell. my signature will have the backing Of every organized fish ing or labor group having to do with the catching, canning. and of the transportation of eannery supplies as well as the transportation of the finished product
 And now to organized groups throughout the country that have not already come to the support of this move. To take action at once and to forget all jurisdic- tiOnal disputes and unite all your resources in one unified body re- gardless of utilization, color, creed or religion. Let MT. Bell under stand that the salmon industry and every man that has anything to do with the production of same, presents a solid front in behalf of the program herein outlined.
 Now, Mr. Bell in behalf of the purse seiners of Alaska and all fish ermen employed in gaining their livelihood by fishing in Alaska, and who would like to be included here oF Fs4Tr r1y you, Mr Bell together with the en- tire personnel of the Bureau of Fisheries, insofar as Alaska is con cerned to tender your resignation and same to take effect as soon as the people of Alaska can nominate and elect a suitable man, "A fish erman," (not a eowboy) to take over and to make some real effort to conserve the early run of salmon which you and your predecessors have managed to almost wipe out.
 Our next item on the program as far as Sumner Strait and Frederick Sound is concerned, known as the north area and south area here in Petersburg, is to put a stop to the entire annilhation of the early sal mon run, and that the fishing sea son can be set at date when there is fish; also that we can be sure that the fish creeks will have an abundant supply of seed fish before any trap or fisherman begins fish ing.
 To insure this, organized labor will refuse to transport material for traps or canneries or to put in traps, fish them, or transport their fish, to refuse to fish or of- fer any seine fish for sale until the date of August 1, 1889. at which time the season opens for Fredrick Sound, and closes SeD- tR tsRbee5y e5 JpeR4 R4n nAtdbgusft0 sf0P}h aG tR cff5ss5 September 5 and no trap to be permitted to even be ready to op- crate till these dates.
