BOOM-DAY HARBOR. May S- (AiH-Governor Horace I-lildreth declared tonight that "It's about time that Congress did something to protect Maine's lobster fishing industry." _

He said Canadian shipments in the last I0 days have reduced the price paid to Maine iobstefmen by 50 per cent.

"We have built up a business that pays our 0.500 licensed lobster fishermen l&000.000 a Year." 11° told the noothbey Harbor Rotary Club. Hildrsth seeks the Republi- can Senate nomination.

‘IWe have spent state funds to help make the ‘Mains lobster uni- que as a sea food throughout the country. And yet every year we permit the market to be gutted with iobaiors imported from Can- ada, without . import duty and without quota restriction."

"Other industries are given tar- iff protection.” he said. "and the workers in those indulhil are consequently profocted. I an no reason why the men in our sea good industry shouldnthave some kind of protection."
