Delegate Sutherland’s
Assertions of Graft
Seward Gateway.
A commission is coming north in the
future to probe Delegate Sutherland’s
charges of graft in the fisheries bu
reau. Delegate Sutherland charges
that the bureau has handed over the !
principal Alaska resource to the fish
trust, composed principally of the
Alasaa Packers and the Pacific Alter
lean Fisheries.! . 1
Many charges and counter charges
are living around, the Delegate having j
apparently touched the bureau and the
-canneries where the epidermis is least
thick.
The Gateway believes that both par
ties are right in the controversy in
that the fisheries have taken no pains
to save the fisheries, planting their
canneries far up some of the streams
and destroying more fish than they
use. The heads of the larger concerns,
especially in the Bristol Bav district,
have ignored the laws and have foisted
dozens of drug addicts and insane upon
the Territory, with a fair sprinkling of
criminals.
They have interfered with the duties
of the deputy marshals, and refused to
assist them in suppressing or abating
evils brought about bv the Chinese
bosses. This is but a small kingdom,
with the power of starving or running
the local fishermen out of business
The remainder of the companies,
who are trying to do the right thing
by the Territory and are interested in
keeping the supply of fish, have had to
suffer for the sins of the few. There
are many cannery companies which
obey the laws, bring a splendid class of
men into the country, and see that they
abstain from drugs and drunken par
ties. With these concerns there can
be no quarrel, nor can there be fault
finding.
The Delegate has made a number of
strong charges, which will undoubtedly
react upon him if not proven. He has
included members of the presidential
cabinet in his allegations, and has over
shot the mark in that he has stirred up j

something that will be hard to over
come the diluvium. Wo believe he is
sincere in the master and that.he really
believes the so called fish trust is try
ing to hog-tie the industry and put the
little fellows out of business, iiut we
have seen no evidence of worry on the
part of the small concerns; they are
preparing to handle the customary
business and are going along with ap
parent unconcern and no lightning rods
■ up. If the situation was as serious as
j we would be led to believe they should
I be ringing for the patrol wagon and
bringiog up the reserves.
It is undoubtedly true that the sup
ply of fin is decreasing, but this is on
account or prevailing laws, the can
neries being allowed to fish up to the
grass roots in the streams and hinder
ing the free accecs of the fish to the
spawning grounds. When this is
stopped there will be plenty of fish
for all.
There are also many eannerymen
who believe a high case tax and a
higher license would keep the number
of canneries down and would not allow
the markets to become glutted. What
ever the outcome of the investifiation
it will not hurt the small concerns, and
may curb some of the larger ‘ones.
Alaska has a holler coming, and once
it gets it oil its chest amicable relations
may be resumed.
