‘ i:Ql Ali ISKPOKK Tin: LAW
Do you approve of having one law
for one sot of people and another
law ror a different set? Of course
not. And yet that condition exists
in Alaska.
All cf you people who sit so smug
ly in your homes and condemn the
’bolsliiviks,” phase consider the
facts in the following resolution.
Forget that the Natives who are pro
testing are PEOPLE and with others
in THEIR CLASS, are entitled to
si and “Equal before the Law.”
Resolution No. :i
On .notion of the Klawock Camp
of the Alaska Native brotherhood
it appears that there is one law fo~
scueis and another for fish trails,
fm example, all seines are required
to be empty of lish by six o’cIock
Saturday night of each week, ana
yet the fish traps are permitted to
hod lisli aiul take and kill lisli dur
ing the weekly (dosed period Upon
inquiry of ohicials of th0 Bureau of
Fis ud’n'S ou members are inform
ed unit if lhe\ are » alight with then
nv is m th(' water and lisli there in,
th-'i such persons could lie arrested
and made to prove that the fisri
were (augh during th0 legal sea
<soo. t)n the other hand, no such
eoursi of a I mn is required with re
spect to lisli i raps.
We call attention to the fact that
t h • law passed hv Congress say
tiiat it 'shall be unlawful to take
catch or kill salmon during tin
weekly closed season, and we main
tain that to lake or kill trap lisli on
Sunday is unlawful
\\ recommend that all forms of
