Oyster ‘Leasing And Illegal Lobster Fishing Condemned

By Delegates

Asked To Refund Gasoline Tax — Speakers Discuss Problems.

Leasing of oyster beds and lobs- ter poaching were strongly con- demned at the annual convention of the Prince Edward Island Fish- ermen's Union in Charlottetown yesterday.

spokesmen for several local sta- tions of the Union declared that not only were honest fishermen hard pressed to stand up under the strain of illegal fishing but that the present season was also unsuitable for certain sections.

The delegates strongly condemn- ed the action of the Dominion Gov- ernment in the leasing of oyster

paign of organization was canted on with the result that a number of new stations have been formed and several others are 1n the pro- cess of formation.

"I am a. firm believer in organ- ization as a. means of getting re- suits and in this Association in' particular as a medium ‘through which the fisherman may improve his economic position. develop and preserve the fishing industry, and be placed in a position of equality with other classes in our Province," Mr. McDonald told theconvention in conclusion. -

beds and a quite lengthy dl t. took place with Premier Campbell and Federal members of pzrlia- mcnt for the Province participating.

Tile ftslicrtncn in a. resolution urged the local government to re- bate the full eight cents gasoline tax to fishermen.

Mr. James B. McDonald of West St. Peters was re-elccted president of the Union. Other officers elect- ed were vice-president. John Mc- Donald, Rice Point; directors: for Prince. Hector Richards, Tignish; for Kings, Robert McKenzie, St. Peters; for Queens, W. E. Mclnnis. Soutllport.

Dclcgntcs to the convention were welcomed by His Worship Mayor P. W. Turner.

Plesidcn; Jamcs B. McDonald of Wes’ St. Peters in his report told the rlclcgntcs that "during the past ycnr wc have madc substantial and sclldy progicss in cxtendingosind dcvclopixlg our organization despite the lxililciicnp of a lack of funds which necessitated our curtailing travelling expenses as much as pos- siblc and preventing us from visit- ing a larger number of fishing cen- trcs than we otherwise would have visited.

"The sfntions that completed their organization lost year and early in the present ycar and have been in active operation have effected con- sldernblc savings already 1n the matter of purchasing supplies,’ while‘. those stations which have acquired or operated their own canning factories and shipping facilities have shown remarkably good results in the increased prices thcy llitvc received for their fish rind fish products.

Dutch Steamer Cap- sizes Off North Coast 05 Java. Many Sav- e .

(By The Aisocliitcairrccst

A day of thrilling rescues by small boats and seaplanes in the shark-infested waters of!‘ the north coast of Java ended last night with 34 persons on the capsized Dutch steamer Van der Wijck, apparently lost.

Among the unaccounted-for pas- sengers and crew members were l4 Europeans and 20 natives.

The disaster was one of three marine accidents during the day in which two ships were lost. I

Foundering in high seas, the 4,- B-lil-ion Greek freighter Okcantri was abandoned by her crew about .28 miles from Zandvoort, The Netherlands.

The Cunard-White Star liner Lancastria, carrying 454 cruise pas- sengers, was refloated after being grounded in a gale in the Mersey, near Liverpool.

Early reports included two chil- dren and the wireless operator am- ong those missing from the Van dcr Wljck whose survivors were tnkcn from choirs, tables andin lifeboat.

Naval planes picked up about. 50 persons and landed them at Sour- abaya, Java.

The 2,633-ton ship, with 250 pas- sengers on board, sent out a dis- tress signal reporting a "heavy list" before it rolled ovcr. .

All of the Van der Wijck's offi- cers wcrc reported among the mow than 200 saved. 4

The crew of the abandoned Ok- cania were believed to have been taken aboard another Greek ship.

Mystery Blaze Sweeps 0il Tanks

QUEBEC, Oct. 20—(CP)—Origin of fire and explosions which swept the storage yards of Canadian Oil Company was veiled in mystery to- night as fire and company of- ficials sought to determine the loss from nine shattered tanks and damage to a number of little frame homes, bulged and shaken from their foundations by a series of blasts. .

v Nine of the 15 storage tanks on

the Riverside properties were a mass of charred and twisted metal, making it difficult to determine source of the blasts which shook sections of the city. smashed win- dows, twisted frame houses and sent scores fleeing iilto the narrow streets in their night attire.

Members of the Fire Marshal's staff said there had been no watch- man on duty and so far they had been unable’ to find any eye wit- nesses of the fire, which broke out early today.

Aviatrix Injured in Forced Landing

Spain’s Self lluination

BY ALBERT GRAND

Copyright 1938 by the Haves News . Agency

OVIEDO, SPAIN, Oct. IB-(Sun- dew-Delayed by Censor) — (CP- Havas)-—Two other correspondents and I were the first newspaper- men to enter this Asturian capital tonight behind the Insurgent. col- umn which freed Gcneral, Miguel Arandavs “esicged garrison.

We rode in with a caravan of 60 trucks loaded with food and wat- er. Tattered and emaciated resi- dents flocked around us. asking news of other parts of Spain and eagerly Jumping onto the trucks to find out what they contained.

We drove to the heart of the city directly behind the troops who relieved Arandals garrison. The liberatcrs arrived at Oviedds out- skirts after a. march along a. nar- row road flanked for more than ‘a mile by Loyalist snipers.

We passed scenes of horrible de- vastation. I-Iome after home had been destroyed by shells, dynamite or fire. Along the sidewalks were many carcasses of horses.

At intervals of about aoo feet trenches were dug across the road- way, screened by bloodspattcrcd sandbags-evidence of the progress made by the Asturlan Miners in their three-month siege of » the town.

On Oviedcfs main street which the Govcrnmentals had been un- able to penetrate, we saw desola- tion beyond words. .

The asphalt roadbed was packed with bomb and shell holes, while buildings liningjhe street were shattered by the crossfire or razed by flzuncs. .

At some points we had to rcmovc from our path telegraph poles or the wreckage of houses destroyed by bombs.

We learned afterwards that. in a four-day attack which began Oct. 4 the Miners directed more than 1.400 heavy shells at the city, while their airmen dropped nearly 500 bombs in a 13-hour bombardment.

General Aranda said he had 2,- 000 men in his garrison at: the outset of the siege.

Only 700 of the besieged sol- diers came through the long strug- gle unscathed. Between 350 and 400 were killed. and 900 were wounded. Of the garrtson 77 offic- ers. 55 were killed or wounded. Of the city's 40.000 civilians, 375 wore killed and from 500 to 600 wounded.
