WE ARE PEOPLE
A letter comes to us from one
who is suffering from the un
fairness of Henry O’Malley. We
invite attention of the public to
the complaint and ask if it is
fair that these discriminations
should exist.
The letter follows:
Dear Mr. Paul:
It would be interesting to you
to know what the representa
tives oi' the Bureau of Fisheries
is doing out here on the West
Coast of Prince of Wales Island.
Sulzer’s Inlet
At Sulzer’s Inlet all the bights
without any fish stream or
creek is placed a marker; this is
not to protect the fish. It is on
ly to get the poor fishermen in
to trouble.
It seems to me all the repre
sentative is after is the fisher
men instead of looking after the
traps. All the traps on the
southwest of Sukkwan Island
should be abolished, and from
Shipwreck Point to Point Web
ster. In these two places the
traps are getting all the bread
from the Indian children.
If O’Malley inspects our fish
receipts he wouldn’t find a single
fish on our receipts from July
15 to August 1.
In comparison with traps, I
believe that O’Malley would find
more than 50 per cent is catched
by these two sections of trap
places.
Whom O’Malley Visits
Whenever O’Malley pass thru
here, he did not intend to stop
at where all the small people or
cannery is. He only stops at
Northwestern Fisheries Cannery
and Craig. If O’Malley stops at
nil the traps mentioned above,
he would be surprised to see all
the traps are lousi with what he
calls “preserving cur fisheries.”
But what we got?
mis is a fine regulation we got
Ihis summer!

tion Act
We have said in former issues
that the Alaska Legislature has
made it cheaper to kill alien
laborers than American (at the
request of the Fairbanks Explor
ation Company thru Senator
Harry Pratt and assisted by the
Alaska Juneau and the Kenne -
cott Mines).
The Hyder Chamber of Com
merce with commendable patri
otic zeal protests this condition.
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce however, thinks the law is
all right.
We reprint the article from
the Hyder Weekly Herald as con
taining their view as well as the
letter from our Delegate to Con
gress, and ask the public to read
at least the last two paragraphs.
Efforts of the Hyder Chamber
of Commerce to direct atten^
tion to the need for drastic al
terations in the" present Alaska
workmen’s compensation law is
no.v attracting the attention ,o|
other Territorial commercial or
ganizations and the various offi
cials and newspapers to- whom
copies of the '“recent vigorous
resolution erf -protest-passed- by
the local body were- sent some
days ago.
