The wire fence extends clear - to the bottom - from shore to deep water—and is just about 1009, effective. No species of fish can escape. The trap was built to catch the principal fisheries resource of Alaska, the salmon. All species other than salmon —including cod, sole, trout and halibut~ —are dumped back into the séa, dead. Once upon a time we had a pretty fair cod industry in Central Alaska. What happened to it? Ask the trap operators! This trap was placed in its particular location be- cause trial and error have proven that a substantial number of fish pass this way each year on their way to the spawning grounds. There is little or no chaice for salmon to escape this trap. It has taken such a toll of fish over the years, and prevented such an adequate number from spawning, that the run is rapidly becoming depleted. Every other trap in Alaska is doing the same thing as this one—fishing 24 hours a day. Traps do not stop for darkness or for rest. Rough water doesn't force them to seek shelter The fish trap is chiefly a ment of the economy and it does man-operated trollers, beach nets and seine boats. spécial privilege to a few absentee owners to the detrie welfare of Alaska. British Columbia and the State of Washington saw the evil of fish traps and discontinued their existence, As 3 result, their runs of salmon are on the increase with each cycle. Alaska is the only place on the continent where the fish trap is permitted. Let us do the right thing for Alaska and legally abolish fish traps in the October 12 election. -Charles Skinner, Vice-president, Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor.
