FOES OF STEEL TRAP TO RENEW CAMPAIGN Want Use of Cruel Devices Banned by Law to All Save Government, Then Only for Vermin. ‘The general public and organiza- tions of sportsmen, as well as so! officials of the United States B! logical Survey, are charged by the newly organized Anti-Steel Trap League with adopting an improper attitude toward the use of steel traps in the capture of animals. The pqint at issue is the degree of suffering experienced by entrapped animals. Officials of the league are prepar- ing a mphlet, written by Edward Breck, writer, lecturer and former Navy officer, who is president of the organization. It will contain an ap- peal for general support of the league’s program, which covers both the United States and Canada. This program the organization’s officials summarize as follows “We propose to bring about the passage of a law by all the State and provincial legislatures making illegal all use of the torturing steel trap and other non-killing devices for taking fur, except by the authorities in the case of vermin. “Propaganda against wearing fur ig helpful of course, but the above is the only way to win within a reason- able period of time, say a few years In some States and a few more In others.” Every woman who ever wore fur will be asked to contribute one dollar.
