COMBATING
FISH TRUST
Sutherland Says Right
of Fisheries Denied
Alaskans.
Delegate Dan Sutherland has com
menced a vigorous campaign iri Con
gress against the big interests of the
Pacific coast and Chicago, who are en
deavoring ta frame a gigantic steal of
the fishing interests, according to the
Delegate. The Delegate’s contentions
are concisely stated in a telegram he
recently sent to Isaac Evans Post,
American Legion, at Seward, as fol
lows;
“American Legion, Seward, Alaska—
I appeal to your organization to inves
tigate thoroughly the rules established
bv the United States Bureau of Fish
eries for administration of the Alaskan
fisheries under the reservation system,
and also the manner in which they
have given exclusive rights in all the
fishing interests in Western Alaska to
the fish trust, as published iu the Pa
cific Fisherman of Jrnuary. This
means that the right of the fisheries is
denied Alaskan residents except by
permission of the fish trust. It means
the fisheries are takeu out of control ef
the people and given to the fish trust.
This is the most damnable outrage
ever perpetrated in Alaska since being
discovered. The czar of all the Uussias
had more consideration for the Alaskan
people than the Department of Com
merce is showing for them today.
“The principal beneficiaries of this
reservation scheme, as administered by
the Bureau of Fisheries, are the very
corporations who prepared and sold for
your use, during the world war. decorn
posed and putrid fish. Indictments
against these men are pending in the
Department of Justice. At the same
time the Department of Commerce is
delivering the rights of the Alaskan
people over to them. I appeal to you
for assistance against monopolistic con
