Ketchikan Fishermen
Protest
The arguments of the Ketchikan
seiners as presented in their protest
to President Coolidge sums up the
arguments against Henry O’Malley’s
closing orders.
The tyranny of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries exercised over
the free citizens of Alaska is con
solidating the people of Alaska.
Henry O’Malley’s unreasonable
acts would do credit to the most
blood thirsty Turk who ever tortur
ed a defenseless Armenian.
Will the people of the United
States ever come to our relief? The
telegram follows;
