canning industry due for a great increase. He noted the great over- head in connection with lobster canneries which are able to oper- ate only two months a year. He urged the United Maritime Fisher- men to unite with the Department and the various Provincial Mar- keflng Boards in exploring every possibility in regard to the fishing industry.

1n conclusion he supported what Major Buthcrhln/J had said in re- gard to illegal fishing.

Mr. A. B. MacDonald, Associate Director of the Department of Ex- tension, St, Francis Xfwier Uni- versity, Antigonish, the -next speaker, expressed the hope that a constructive program for Maritime fisheries would be carried out at the convention. He noted that fish- ermen are no longer content mere- ly “to go out in boats," but that now they are beginning to interest i themselves in the marketing of their products. He considered that the fishermen had neglected this phase o! their work too long, as they had also the quality of the products they place on the market. He pointed out that the opposition of competitive concerns is going to be great. It is already being felt and will no doubt grow greater as time goes on. The co-operative ef- forts of the fishermen is sure to be blocked by many concerns but the fishermen must show “grit" enough to overcome the obstacles.

Mr. R. J. McSween, Antigonish. representing the Nova Scotia Mar- keting Board, gave a brief review of Professor A. F. Chaisson‘s work in connection with the marketing of lobsters in Boston and Glouces- ter last year. It was found that the system was wcll organized there from the standpoint of the dis- trlbutor. He mentioned the grad- ing and checking of the temper- atures and the distributing of the lobsters in Boston, and of the price fixing committee, which set the price every afternoon.

commended by the Royal Commie--

sion which investigated the fisher- ies in 1928.

Another resolution asked for the abolition of beam trawlers.

A resolution was passed to the effect that the Federal Minister of Finance be petitioned to have the interest rate on loans reduced thus in a measure promoting national recovery after the method adopted in England.

A number of other resolutions, adopted by regional conventions earlier in the year, of a local na- ture were endorsed by the United Maritime Fishermen.

made to have the fishermen ship in "groups" and an improvement in the handling was noted as soon as the commission merchants in the U. S. realized that they were dealing with “groups," not "indiv- iduals." It was also felt that. even with the little organization ac- complished, somewhat firmer prices were realized. Considerable saving in the amount paid for exchange was possible when the payment was made in "lump sums."

RESOLUTION S

Resolutions were passed during the afternoon requesting federal financial aid for organized groups of fishermen, who through educa- tional facilities now find them- selves in a position to carry on their own business. This might be in the form of a long term loan at a reasonable rate of interest.

Another resolution dealt with an extension of the present lobster collection service to New England market. This extension would serve Magdalen Islands and the 1n- verness shore of Cape Breton par- ticularly.

Another resolution dealt with the high cost of gasoline to fishermcu. In some cases fishermen receive in rebate, the full amount of the Pro- vincial Government, in other cases

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

build upon than those which in- spired and motivated the founding of your Association. Conceived in the minds of a. few men to whom political power, social prestige in the ordinary sense pf the word, or material gain meant nothing, or- ganization of the shore fishermen of the Maritime Provinces and the Magdalen Islands presented an admirable opportunity to benefit both socially and materially a class of primary producers whose posi- tion was anything but enviable.‘ Fettered by a system of barter andl employment, which took a century and more in the making, thousands of fishermen continued to pursue their hazardous calling ear in and year out, seldom with li tle more to show for their toil than the bare necessities of life. often no; even those. With much physical hard- ship and not infrequent loss of life they produced annually millions of the nation's wealth, but had to be satisfied with a mere pittance of the amount, perhaps sufflcient to keep body and soul together. but insufficient to develop the combin- ation to its rightful place in human values. Other classes of primary producers and labour. both at home and abroad, were alrgady organiz- ed for protective purposes. Numer- ous pr- fessions and trades boasted both national and international associations. all founded for the express purpose of insuring for their members a just recompense for service or labour. Did it not follow that concerted effort on the part of the fishermen p1 seated the only way by which they could hope to improve their position? Had not the system controlling their means of livelihood been given more than. a. fair trial and found sadly want- ing? Your Association, Gentlemen, and the far-reaching results of its activities during the comparatively few years o1 its existence supply emphatic answers to those ques- tions and pay silent tribute to the men whose faith in- humanity and‘ courage to hew straight to the mark prompted them to give lib-' effllly of their time, energy and talents to the cause or the fisher- men. Not less inspiring is the ex- ample set by those who in the face of heavy obstacles have given a-ble leadership to local groups, nor can we commend too highly your mem- bers who have so loyally supported their leaders.

Each year takes its toll of leaders and members,

wharves and breakwaters, etc. BONUSES

A resolution was passed asking for a bonus from either the Federal or Provincial Governments or both, of 25 cents per hundredweight on all I!“ landed by shore fishermen. (A bonul of this nature was in- stituted by the New Brunswick government last year.)

Another resolution asked for joint action on the part of the several provincial marketing boards to open up more extensive markets than now exist for pickled cod.

GRANT FOR EXHIBITION

A resolution, asking that a part of the Federal Government grant for exhibition purposes be shared by the fishing industry in the sev- emi provinces was also passed.

A resolution was passed asking the Federal and Provincial govem- ments jointly to provide a bi-lingu- a1 organizer to operate in several parts of the Maritime Provinces.

Another resolution was passed requesting the Provincial Market- lng Boards to investigate the pos- slblllties and further the sale of pickled fish in Central Canada and give special consideration to the transportation of this product.

COMMENDING GOVERNMENTS

A resolution commending the sev- eral Provincial governments for their interest in the problem of the fishermen and in the moves they have made in the appoint- ment of officials for further or- ganization work.

A resolution was passed express- ing disapproval of the unequal dis-

public work in Nova Sootiu, par- ticularly the proposed expenditure of 0840.000 in the city of Halifax in a manner that would appear likely to bring little relief to the fishermen of the province.

Before dealing with the principal

subject of our report. we consider it not untimely to refer briefly to certain factors which have so dir- ectly affected the progress of your Association that they would appear to be worthy of both mention and consideration.

Your own personal experiences of

the past few years, if nothing else, will enable you to readily re- call that your

Association was launched on the very threshold of

a period of economic distress which

has no parallel in the history of

this country or of the world at

large. Bo drastic have been the

changes wrought during the period referred to that the face of the uni-

verse is literally strewn with the

wrecks of financial and social in- stitutions. many of which were un-

doubtedly considered invincible against the march of time. That

your Association has so successfully weathered the storm. though not without some scars, would appear to be a sufficiently 800d reason for optimism with Nae-rd to its future‘ under more favourable economic conditions, which, to some extent, already prevail.

It is estimated thee.- three factories will use 226.000 bushels during the months of Oct- ober and November. An order for starch was received from one of the large cotton companies which will take 80.000 bushels to fill. The cotton factory is enabled to do this through the protection which the industry receives against foreign competition.

desired with regard to the methods employed. inasmuch as they repre- sent, the efforts of individual groups rather than the combined buying power of all groups operating through a central agency, we are nevertheless of the opinion that definite progress alone these lines of endeavor has been made. Your Central Organization has, in ud- dition to making some purchases of supplies, been able to mist ma- terially in bargaining u well as in arranging satisfactory credits. Ne- gotiations for the purchase of rope and twine direct from manufactur- ers are well advanced. and, with the oo-operation of purchasing groups, will be successfully completed.

O0 - OPERATIVE MARKETING

(lo-operative marketing, Another aim of your Association, has been furthered to such u extent that we entertain no misgvings u to the very important part which it will play in your future. Noteworthy advance: along this particular lino of endeavor include “ '11s es- tablished in Grout Britain for the sale f Canned lobster and in the Islan of Jautaica for pickled spring mackerel, dred salt cod and other cured, fish. In both cases actual transaotio have been conducted with not only very satisfactory rc-l suits to the actual participants, but far-mashing as well. We refer par- ticularly to the higher prices ob- tained by a number of producing groups. due to their being in a position to avail themselves of mar- keting services inaugurated during tho put year. The pursuance of this direct marketing policy offers a very fine opportunity for some Nil lac-operation among producing nouns.
