ALL FISHERMEN
MUST NOW HAVE
PROPER LICENSE
All salt water fishermen and distri
buters of sea food not already licensed
are required to operate under licenses
granted by the United States Food
Administration. President .Wilson,
acting under authority granted by the
Food Control Act, has issued a pro
clamation which gives the Food Ad
ministration almost complete control
of the distribution of salt water fish,
including menhaden, crustaceans and
shellfish. Wholesale fish dealers are
already operating under license.
The proclamation covers all fisher
men engaged at any period of the
year, whether fishing independently
or on shares. It covers, as well, all:
people engaged in the commercial dis
Lribution, including catching and sell
ing o any or all varieties of salt wa
ter ti.ii. The term salt water fish is i
defined to embrace all forms of sea-!
food taken from salt water. Tnis
places oysters, crabs, lobsters, clams, |
all shcllfiish and crustaceans under
the control of the Food Administra
tion.
Any person, firm, corporation or as
sociation engaged in the catching or
distribution of any forms of seafood
who are engaged in business after
February 15, without securing a \i
cense, will be liable to a fine o‘ nut
mure than $5,000, to imprisonment for
not more than one year, or to both
•'me and imprisonment.
Ai persons subject to license must
r.pf ly to the United States F > >d Ad
ministration, License Division, Wash
ington, D. C., specifying the nature of
the business to he licensed.
The licensing of the fishermen and
the control thereby given will enable
the Food Administration to foster and
aid the salt water fisheries and g;cal
ly increase the catches and the oppor
tunities of the fishermen lo broaden
their operation. All this will be
brought about by regulations soon to
be enacted and embracing the Atlan
tic and Culf Coasts which will largely
sunercede the local laws in the various
fishing districts; these laws are at
present discouraging the fishermen,
keeping them from using the m* st
productive kinds of gear and curtail
ing the catches. Also in con»e of the
distr’ets closed seasons on certain va
rieties of salt water fish are nov/ be
ing enforced during the periods when
these varieties are in greatest abun
dance in the shore waters and in
many of the districts resr.ici;ve laws
against non-residents and alien fish
ermen are rendering it impossible for
vessels and eouipment f'.om one state
to make catches of fish in the shore
waters of adjacent states.
!n die enactment of the regulations
due regal'd will be pa;d by the Food
A'ministration to any pmcnt i*e
strictions which are vitally necessary
from the standpoint of conservation.
Regu ations will later be put into ef
fect on the Pacific Coa:t as a result
of the recommendations o*’ the Feder
al Foci Administrators for the salt
water States. No modificat’o". will be
ma ic in regard to restrictions at prc.?
ent prevailing on the halibut salmon
fisheries; the present laws b* ing re
garded as very necessary to conserve
the supplies of these varieties.
The licenses will be issued without
charge or fee of any kind under such
rules and regulations governing the
conduct of the business as may be
prescribed by the U. S. Food Admin
istration.
All applications for license must be
on blanks to he provided and must be
mailed to the following address:
United States Food Administration,
License Division, Washington, D. C.
The Federal Food Administrator
for Alaska has been advised that ap
plication blanks are being sent to his:
office, Seward Building, Juneau, whet el
they may be obtained upon request, j
