tliat back of the movemeni i^ainst them are tl*e rod and line fishermen who have been persistently trying for years to hare a law enacted by the New Jersey legislature which would In effect pre•erve the fishing privileges in the coaat

waters for them.

Most of theae line fishermen are cititens of other siates. They are transieut patrons of the summer resorts aud have fip interest in the slate beyond their desire to be entertained and made comfortable during the summer season. The pound-nei fishermen will make a strenuous defense against the forces that are arrayed against them in this instance. The law under which they have been indicted prohibits the creation of any obstruction not affirmatively authorized by Congress in the navigable capacity of any of the water- of the l'nited States snd the penalty p.ovided for persons and corporations c-»n. victed of this offense is a fine not exceeding $2^00 and imprisonment, in the case of a person, not exceeding one year or both punishments in the discretion

of the court.

If the pound-net fishermen are beaten in the courts and they are compelled to take up their nets and retire Irom business it will prove a severe blow to an army of wage earners along the New Jersey coast as well as to the peojile of New Jersey aa a whole, who depend upon the products of these fisheries for their supply of eea food. The outcome of the trials will be watched for with great interest by everybody of intelligence in the atate.
