AFTERNOON SESSION lion. Mr. LePage

m“- B~ W- IcPase. M.'L.A., chairman of the Provincial Fisher- 1119113 1-0811 Board, was the first speaker at the afternoon session. FTOm information he had received since he had taken over the posi- tion as chairman o! the 1mm Board it appeared to him the speak- er said, that what the fishing in- dustry needed most in this province

. is co-opieratlon and organization.

cient means of transportation are,

He knew something about organi- zation in the lobster industry, he told the meeting, for 20 years ago he had organized forty ‘coats at Rustioo into an organization that was still going strong. Each year the fishermen had been receiving from one to four dollars per cwt. more for their lobsters than any other companies were paying and many fine homes in the Rustlco district‘ had been‘ built on the strength of the extra profits the fishermen had received from the organization, the speaker believed.

The cod and hake sections of the iudwtry were also greatly in need of organization Mr. LePage believed. He had also been" reliably informed by a man from the Federal Depart- ment of Fisheries that the fisher- mcn of the province were receiving at; last one dollar per cwt. less for their fifft quality cod than the fishermen from N. S.. and N. B. ivcre receiving. It was the result of the fish not being properly handled, Hon. Mr. LePage believed. If the fishermen in each community were organized to handle fish at one plant and if the fish were salted and packed in a standardized way the buyers would linow they were

getting a unifcirm product and would pay more and be more anxious to buy. The fishermen

should rcalizc that they must meet the requirements of the different mrirllicts. Another advantage 'of having fish curcd at It central plant would be that the flslicrmen could devote all his energies to catching- fish, and not as at prcscnt to cur- ing and running around trying to find a market for the few fish he caught.

The Ffhcrlnclfs Union was on thc right; line, Hon. Mr. LePage thought. “What we need in this Province is a field mun or contact man. A man to organize the fisher- men into group: and contact the groups with thc different markets. In that. way we might get some results," Mr. LcPagc believed. He had taktn thc matter up ‘with the deputy niillislcl" of fisllcrcs and Hon. Mr. Purvis.

“Our government is going to do its ulluot to assist. thc fihcl-ulen" the spcakcr said. If organized groups could be brought together thc Fcdrriil and Provincial Govern- mcnis lVCllid give some assistance in tl~c erection o.‘ buildings and freezers.

Of thc $50,000 joint provincial and Fciicral appropriation for fish- crmcifs loans 310.000 had already been loaned to 000 fishermen, Hon. Mr. IoPrige told thc meeting. The remaining $20,030 will be loaned this year if applications of the right kind conic in.

Dl-lnribgnflg 1311111618“! 8nd Prince of Wales College, told the fishermen in a short address. It is not easy to‘ get the organization or the capital for plants and experimental purposes. That is the practical difficulty, which introduced the quefltion of adult education. in which he was particularly interested the speaker raid. Get small groups of fishermen together and have them study their own problems Dr. Croteau advised. There is a wealth of information available in the libraries. Once a farmer, fisherman or city consumer is convinced that organization is the only way out of his difficulties he will stand back of his or- ganization.

Another important feature of or- ganization is the credit unions where the people deposit their money and subsequently use it for the development of the community. It is surprising how fast the money iziocumulates the sixeakcu- mild. A credit union at Mt. Stewart or- ganized in June now had over $500 on deposit and one organized in Charlottetown at the same time had over $600 in its funds.

In conclusion the speaker stressed the importance of study clubs in order that a permanent foundation be laid for co-operative organiza- tions which alone could solve the fishermarrs problems.

Mr. A. E. Mclosn, M. P.

Mr. A. E. McLean, M.P. for Prince County. told the fishermen that he was also a firm believer in co-operation. He bell/Wed the Fishermervs Union was a step in the right direction. He also ap- proved of the principle of credit unions.

He believed that perhaps onc of the mort pressing needs in some sections of the province was for facilities in the way of cold storage plants for the handling 0f fish products.

T118311 Plohing

.Mr. Earle ‘McRae of Tignish de- clared that the illegal lobster fish- ing in parts of Queen's and King's Counties was "a. disgrace to the province." Illegal fishing would not be stopped by officials catching the small fisherman but by catchlnga few men which would soon put a stop to the illegal fishing. “Where are the Department of Fisheries of- ficials?" he asked. "They should be here today," he continued. Fish- ermen do not want dole. "Give us proper laws and enforcement and we can go ahead and make our livelihood in a legitimate way," lVfr. McRae sald in conclusion.

‘The next item of business on thc afternoon agenda was the passing of resolutions. Each of the resc- lutlons submitted to the meeting passed unanimously and without. discussion. The text of the reso- lutionsappears at the end of this article. '

Mr. Peter Sinclair, M. P. ‘

“I came here not to speak but to learn of your needs, for the more I know of conditions the more I can be of use to the fishermen," Mr. Peter Sinclair, M.P., said.

Some of the resolutions passed he could agree with and some he could not, Mr. Sinclair told the meeting. The policy of the Dom- inion Government was against the paying of a. subsidy such as the fishermen had asked for on hake.

The Federal Government believed in advertising the article. That had been the policy followed in the case oi cheese and it had resulted in s. greatly increased consumption, the speaker said. Increased adver- tising would result in greatly 111- cieased sale of fish he thought.

_ have been able to attend s, general

meeting that since the organizat- ‘ion of the Union two years ago very scant recognition had been received from the Dominion Gov- cmment. 1n fact the organization had been almost entirely ignored by the Federal Department of Fisheries, he claimed.

He wanted Mr. Sinclair and Mr. McLean to convey the thought to Ottawa, and he felt he was voicing the attitude of the majority of the fishermen of the province, that the Federal Government “has not been giving us s. fair deal but is playing into the hands of Nova Scotia."

“During the past year I have uscd every available effort but have not been able to get one dollar direct from the Federal Government to assist this organization" the secre- tary treasurer continued. That dc- spite the fact that the organization gave a virtual guarantee to the Government to look after conscr- vation of the lobster industry. The reply the Government gave to the promise of assistance in conserva- tion was that there were already Department officials to look aft/er the illegal fishing. _

Mr. W. A. Found, deputy minis- ter of fisheries had been invited to come to the convention but had sent no reply. He had found time, however, to attend thc annual meeting of the Oyster Growers‘ Association and to interview the Fish and Game Association. "It is a state of affairs that cannot con- tinue. We are going to get recog- nition or know the reason why," Mr. McCarthy declined.

The oyster industry is a disputed affair with arguments both ways, but the facts still remain that thc fisherman has a right to fish in those ivatcrs, the speaker said. Hc has been deprived of his rights and, no matter what’ arguments concerning conservation which may be brought forward to justify it, the fact still remains that, fisher- men have been deprived of their rights.

Thirty men in the Provincial leg- islature last year condcnmsd oyster leasing, Mr. McCarthy declared. “Yet we find Mr. Found coming down to attend a meeting of the Oyster Association," he continued. “Why should the Deputy Minister take part in a. disputed question?"

"I hope some day to have thc Opportunity to meet Mr. Found on the platform and to tell him what the position of the fishermen in this province is," Mr. McCarthy concluded.

Mr. A. E. lllcbcan, 111.1’,

No one was more disappointed than himself, Mr. Mclflan said.

given the same assistance that thU private beds were receiving. Hon. T. A. Campbell

Premier T. A. Campbell congrat- ulaied the Fisher-men's Union for what 1t was attempting to do to assist the fishermen. The local Government in co-operation with the Dominion Govemment had been able to give some assistance to fishermen. Through eta-operation with the Dominion Government the establishment of the Flshermcns loan Board had been made pos- sible in this province to help those most needy, the Premier said.

It was not the ideal method of dealing with the situation but was better than direct relief.

Another way in which the Gov- ernment was attempting to assist the fishermen as well as other classes of people was in the econ- omic survey about to be under- taken. Mr. LePage is to conduct the survey and it is hoped that some experts from the Federal Government will be here to assist.

One object of the survey is the working out‘ of ways in which products can be put in a more marketable state in this province. At present raw products are ship- ped away without any processing.

The oyster leasing question to his mind, Premier Campbell said, was one of policy rather than legality. When the bcst policy had been de- termined the legislation could be arranged to cover ‘thc situation, he thought.

He felt that a good deal of the misundcrstanding was due to the fact that the Dominion. Govern- ment without understanding condi- tlons and ivithout taking the fish- crmcn into its confidcncc had em- barked on a wholesale leasing pol- icy.

The question came up at the last session of the Provincial Legislat- ure. It was felt that the question was not exactly within the juris- diction of the province since it concerned tidal waters. However, the legislature had gone so far as to recommend to the Dominion Government that an independent- coinmlsslon be appointed to inves- tigate the question. The Federal Govarnmvnt (inclined to act on the suggcstion and for the present thc Provincial Government is unable to takc any steps. All that can be done is t0 rcfcr the matter to thc next session cf the local legislat- ure.

The Dominion Government had informed the province that if it ivishid to wiihdraw from tho leas- ing policy it nllght d0 In that case the money expended here for ihc development would be discon-

that thc Deputy Minister of Fish- eries was not down to attend .110, convention. It was not his fault,l he assured thc fishermen, for hc‘ had donewvcrything possiblc w have a representative of ihc Dc- parttnent attend thc convention. Refirrrlng to the oyslor areas Mr, McLean told the meeting that when the Government first did smnc-. $111118 to bring back the industry in 1 Richmond Bay and vicinity it ivas 110T.’ Mth thc idea of leasing. A sum of money was voted by thc Federal Government to be used in cleaning the beds and a man was obtained t0 instruct thc fi5hOl‘]nQn_ The next year a further sum of money was voted to continue thc work and the biological station at Bldcfcrd was csmifislivii. All that work had been done in the inter- est of the public, fisherman, thcl

part of the country that the leas- ing of the oyster bcds had been tho cause of practically wiping out for a time the oyster industry.

He did not altogether cOndcmn i110 P011031 of leasing. Mr. McLcan sald. What he did condemn was thc leasing of productive areas where the oysters appeared to be coming back from natural causes. He considered, too, that the hold- ers of leases had been given too many concessions. They had ppm Riven all kinds of privileges that the fishermen in the public bcds had not been given. He felt with M13 McCarthy that when Mr. F0111"! W55 able to come to attend s. meeting of oystermen he should
