BADDECK, N. S., July 28 _Rcdraf'ting of the Mari- time Freight Rates Act was urged by Stephen G. Moon- ey, Andovcr, N.B., president of the Maritime Board 0f Trade as he addressed Syd- ney Board of Trade mem- bers at their annual outing in Victoria County's shire town today.

SIX IIIE IN RIIITINGIIT BIIRBIIIIIIS

ERIDGETOWN, Barbados, July ZB-Police and British Marines stayed on watch tonight, fearful of further outbreaks of rioting which already has claimed a. known toll of sx dead and 21 injured.

For 36 hours between Monday night and early this morning. a disorderly mob of laborers and other Bridgetown citizens had marched about. damaging property and creating disturbances.

Leaders of the unruly mobs said they were protesting the expulsion of a Trinidad citizen from the, col- ony after he had been acquitted in court of a charge of’ making false statement to an immigration offi- cer.

FIRE INTO MOB

Crisis in the rioting apparently was reached yesterday when police formed a company and fired a round of shot into the ranks of a mob of rioters who had refused to disperse.

Two rioters were fataly injured by shots before the crowd disband- ed. Four more were known to have been killed and nlore than a score injured in other clashes between policeand riotcrs in the period of d sturbancc.

Th: British cruiser Apollo ar- rivtd’ today and sent marines ashore to assist police in quelling the (lemonstrators. and, except for one flare-up iluriilg today, the riot- ers apparently were becoming less violent.

Police said the atmosphere had become "quiet but tense" after the arrival of the marines.

Fisheries Ministe-l?‘ J. E. Michaud Discusses Problems At Informal I Meeting Held In Legislative

i1

Mr. Dougald McKinnoii, .\f.L.A., Mt. Buchanan,‘ pointed out that conditions vary greatly in differ. ent sections of the province. When he came to the meeting he felt he said that if he urged the late sea- son he would be going against the interest of his locality as a. whole. Some were asking for it and oth- ers. who had done no better, were opposing it. However. during the day he had talked with fishermen from other localities and the pic- ture they painted of conditions made him loath to oppose the late

_season, Mr. McKinnon declared. I

Conservation Big Problem

The greatest problem facing the lobster industry was conservation, he believed. Abolition of the fish hatcherles had been a great mis- take and he advocated a modified form of hatchery. Under his plan the government would bliy from the fishermen the spawn lobsters and keep them in pounds until the young went out to sea. The old ones could then be sold. Such a system would work olit at no cost to the government. he believ- ed. Present regulations regarding berried lobsters were not being ob- served and could not be com- pletely enforced, Mr. McKinnon declared. He thanked Mr. Mich- and for his efforts on behalf of the fishermen. Never in the his- tory oi the province had there been a minister who made such an earnest attempt to solve the problems of fishermen.

Mr. Carr of New London was in favor of the fall season as were, he said, all the fishermen he talk- ed to. He didn‘t see why this province had to be mixed up with New Brunswick and Nova Scotla so iar as seasons were concerned.

16.000 pounds of lobsters were poached in his harbor last- fallaiid he didn't see what fishermen could do unless they had a chance to make a living.

Mr. G. L. Sanderson, St, Peters. was also in favor of the month season in the fall. Unless they got it he didn't sec how they could carry on. Cod coliid be fished mtich more easily in the spring than in the fall when they move ofi’ into deep water.

Mr. Brooks from Murray Bar- bor believed that the lobsters were ovcrfished. If the season was left the way it was it would be best for all. he said.

Mr. Wlllinln McDonald. Murray Harbor, president of station 1W- 6 in the Fishermens Union said fishermen oi his station had zin- tinimously signed a petition oppos- 111g a fall season. Not that they did not need the additional Ii‘.- come btit because they believed it ivas in the interest of the industry for years to come. The last time

Government Direction .. Of Newsprint Industry Forecast

ci-iannnmnue. July 28410"- emment direction of the news- print industry in Q1165“? and on‘ tario was forecast today by 919m‘ fer Maurice Dupiessls of Quebec In a public address here.

The Union Nationalc Premier. speaking at the re-oPenlnfl °I m” Chandler Sulphite Milli after 59V!" years of idleness, said:

"I believe that with the 00-09"- atlon of the Ontario Government. which I think I shall obtain. the two governments will not admin- ister but direct nil.- newsprint 111- dustry."

Importance of the industry film‘ ed for speedy action and the ao- plication of a measure of control, Premier DuplessLs said. The mat- ter already had been studied.

Duplessis warned Quebec indus- try that. while anxious to co-op- crate with it. he would "slap its wrist" if it got out of bounds.

A fault of business in this prov- ince, he declared. was that it

The Premier again enunciated m5 government’; policy that there must. be no exportation of Quebec pulpwood so long as it could be used in the province. People will- lng to spend millions in building ["1115 11nd approached him in the inst year. he said. biit they had been turned down because they wanted to export bulb and he did not consider it good POIICY-

they had a fall season in his dis. trict the industry didn't recover for ten years, he declared.

Mr. _H. H. Acorn, M.L.A.. Souris, told tile meeting he was not dir- ectly interested in the fishing in- dllstry and could therefore form an unbiased opinion on the sub- ject. Fishermen on the north side We" already. as early in the seas- on as this. at their wits end ‘.0 make ends meet. 75 per can; of the fishermen he knew were still in debt after settling their ac- counts at the end of the spring lobster season.

Two Classes of Fishermen

There were two classes of fish- ermen in this province, MLAcQrn said. 'I'llosc who fished and did practically nothing else and those who fished lobsters as a side line in the spring and after the season was over returned to their farms.

If the late lobster season were not granted fishermen would have to be assisted in one of two wavs. Mr. Acorn believed. Either the government would have to provide relief to tide them over next win. ter or a. bonus would have to be paid on the catch of cod and hakc as was being done in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. One difficulty WW1 regard to the bonus was the fact that the United States. where a great deal of the fish caught in ‘m5 Province was shipped, impos- ed a countervailing duty on bon- ttscd fish equal to the bonus. Pay. ing of a bonus or premium would be a good thing. he believed, as it would encourage the fishermen to catch cod and nuke,

“Just as sure as I am standing here today unless some measure of practical relief‘ is afforded them some of these fishermen are going to take the law into their own hands" Mr. Acorn declared. pre- dicting that tlicrc would be an In- crease in poaching unless condi- tions were battered. It was such conditions that led to ugitatlons for communism. socialism and all the other "isms," the speaker be- lieved.

Some people look at conditions from their own angle alone but it was necessary for him t,o congldgr them from the standpoint offish- ermcil and packer not forgetting that it was his sworn ditty to pm- tcct the fisheries for future gen- erations. Hon. Mr. Michaild said. when he told fishermen that after deep consideration oi all angles of the situation a fall season for inb- sters was not thought acivisable.

Fall Season Tried

Twclltl’ years ago there had been a fall season and the follow- ing year the catch dropped almost one halt‘, the Minister told fisher- men. Since then it gradually wcnt tip until the peak was reached in 1932when the catch was nine mil- lion pounds. Since it had been falling of’! and if conditions were allowed to go on the industry wouldlbc in such a condition that
