Friday, Auguci 27, 1918
Communists stormed the Berko
city hall again today an 1 brake
up a meeting of the elected, anti
communist ei'v council while
Russian dominated police looked
on.
The mob yelled they will come
back “again and again.” This
meant the c immunists, beaten in
elec* ions, hoped to stop the city
government from functioning,
force it to abandon the city hall
and perhaps set up a rump gov
ernment in the divided and block
aded city.
The Berlin city hall is in the
Russian zone. The communist tac
tics, for the second straight day,
were reminiscent of the coup in
Czechoslovakia last February,
when the minority communists
took over ‘hot republic. The men

ON THE BALLOT in the Oct. 12th election there will be a referendum on “the practice of fishing by means of trap.' should
be continued or . . . should be abolished.” To abolish traps, w e believe, would amount to confiscation and would peimatic mly
injure the Territory of Alaska.
At least 25 of the largest canneries in
Alaska will close if salmon traps are
abolished. These canneries need trap
#
caught salmon to continue operations.
Destroy salmon traps by your vote next
October and you sign the death warrant
for these canneries—throwing thousands
* of fishermen and cannery workers out
of johs. Don’t cripple the Territory’s
i
largest industry!
O J
VOTE TQ .
CONTINUE TRAPS!
MBMMBM—————■ — nnK ’ C—raEC—
Here's why YOU Should
VOTE to CONTINUE
T ^S:
1. Traps moan jobs—not just for 45 days but for
six to nine months for approximate^ 4,001)
people, mostly Alaskans.
2. Traps are the best means of conserving
Alaska’s salmon.
3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory
would have to levy additional taxes on all
other Alaska businesses ami individuals.
4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can
neries to operate efficiently. \\ ilhout traps,
at least 25 large canneries would close down
because they would be stripped of their de
pendable supply of salmon -thousands of men
would lose 1 heir jobs.
5. Traps are vital to Hasku's economy. Confiscate
them and you undermine the Territory's sta
bility. An unstable region cannot develop a
diversified economy.
6. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry
that they make it possihe for packers to pay
fishermen maximum prices. Confiscate traps
and you cut down earnings. Nobody
gains—everyone lose*.
7. Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world
leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con
fiscate them and you so weaken America’s
position that it will be possible for Russia,
utilizing II. S. built floating canneries, to
seize this prize in world trade.
8. Traps represent large investments in venture
capital. Confiscate them and you discourage
other industries from investing in Alaska’s
future.
9. Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate
them and you establish a gear monopoly in
the catching of salmon.
10. Tj-aps, seines and gill nets — ALL THREE
TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to
maintain Alaska’s canned salmon pack. Vary
ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds
make it economically feasible to fish certain
areas to full advantage only by means of traps.
