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.

WW any improvement can come about. is through organization, D1" cwielll. professor of sociology and economics at st. 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.

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 meeting of the fishermen. What he would like to see, Mr, McLean said in conclusion, would be the setting aside of certain por- Lions of the bays for public fishing and that the public beds should be How to Make a Splendid . q Cough Remedy at Home A Saving’ and ‘It's so you four times as much cough rcnicdy Easy!

Personally‘ he did not see what lhc Ciovcrnlncilt had to be afraid of in acting on the request; of thc Provincial Givcrnmcnt for an 111-, dcpctidcnt investigation. In reply to a question as to thc legality of the leases of oyster beds in tidal waters the Premier said that his pcrsonal opinion was that perhaps thc leases were not legal. However, he reminded the fisher- men again that. he did not think . it was so much a question of legal- ity as it was onc of policy. Hop. Mr. Campbell was followed by Mi-fnuioti Williams of Murray Harbor, who charged that them was a great dcal of illegal fishing going on. “The fault is at thc top rather than at the bottom,” he said. To thc Frdcral reprcsentativeshe said “speak up when you go to Ottawa and tcll the Department what we want, that's what we're sending you there for." C. P. McCarthy, secretary treasurcr of the Union since its organization tvm years ago an- nounced that he was not accepting the position another year. The Union should appoint acen- t-rally located mun who could have an office in Charlottetown where information would be available to fishermen at. all times. The secre- tary treasurer is appointed by the executive committee of the Union. Local Stations Report Mr. Jerome Chapman of Red Point reported that his station had 20 members and the organization hoped to increase its membership. The fishermen in the Red Point Union were interested principiillyin cod and hake, Mr. Chapman told the meeting. Mr. D. J. Campbell of North Lake said that his local Union had 21 members but was not progressing very fast. Speaking briefly on the conservation of the lobster industry he said that resolutions passed at a recent meeting of the Union hc represented suggested that a uni- form scason for the whole Province be introduced. The Grand Trncadie Union with 21 members started shipping live lobsters to Boston during the past season Mr. D. A. McDonald told the mcciing. The not price to thc fishermen was 1B 1-2 cents per lb. he said. Mr. Elliott Williams of Beach Point reported that his Union, composed of l7 members, shipped live lobsters‘ and “came out good‘. He received an average price for his lobsters, live and cancers, of $12.09 per cwt he said. He thought that there was "something wrong with co-operation. It was all right as long as money was coming in but when its going out its a different story." - “Party pull, both parties, has been ruining the fishing industry and is ruining the country" he declared. "Men who hold positions in the De- have they ever been fishermen, and they scarcely know one fish from alto her," Mr. Williams said. The forty dollar fisher-men's loan that the Government gives is of the speaker sald. merit gave the bounty which is held back at Ottawa the fishermen might get somewere," he thought. Referring to the shipment of llvc lobsters Mr. Williams said that his Union had had reports from a firm in Boston to the effect that “they had shipped the best lobsters that vincesfj g The St. Peter's Bay Union had 15 members Mr. Robert McKenzie told the meeting. It seemed to him that there was a sort of monopoly" in Kings County which was doing something’ to prevent the forma- he felt that if all worked together it could be broken down. liibr. Emer-y McEwen of Bristol said that his Union had 29 mem- bcrs and that the organization had saved considerable to its members in equipment and gas, which had been purchased co-operatively‘. Mr. Hector Richards reporting for the 'f‘lgnlsh Union sald that it was a very strong organization and growing stronger each year. The lobster season did not suit the fish- ’ ermen at Tignlsh, he claimed. The :month of May was gfl right but in June t" ere were no lobsters on the grcu _. they fish. He felt that if the north shore fishermen got to- gein they might gel, the authori- ties 1- do something about chang- ing the season. , Mr. J. M. Hanclrahan of Tignish supported the opinions expressed by Mr. Richards and suggested that. a. month in the spring andanother month in the fall would be more suitable than the present arrange- ment oi two months in the spring. The changed season would» do much to stop illegal fishing he believed. The authorities are _not stopping the poaching at present he claimed. “'I'licre has been an open season siuze Apiil until now" Mr. Han- drahan said. Mr. hiarcus Calder, local express agent of the Canadian National Railway told the fishermen that the railroad WOiiiii be pleased tc furnish refrigerator car facilities at any point on the Island system where traffic warranted for the movement of pcrishabie fish pro- ducts. The following was tlic text 0i TTIGTTGSOILlilOIIS passed at. yester- day's meeting: ..,. RESOLUTIONS _‘ . Re Oyster Leasing Whereas, the policy of leasing any part or parts of the fishing areas in the tidal waters of thc Provincc of Prince Edward Island to private interests, conferring on them an exclusive right to fish. is dealing a death blow to"'the pub- lic rights, and to the vital inter- ests of the public fishermen of said Province, And whereas, the fishermen deem that it is not within the legal au- thority of either the Provincial or the Dominion Government to issue lease titles to private interests, con- ferring on them the exclusive right to fish in tidal waters, the fisher- men therefore prcsent their follow- ing reasons:- First, That when the Province of Prince Edward island entered Con- federation in the year 1873, the right of lcgislating for its fisheries passed to the Dominion. Second, That from thc rulings of His Most Gracious Niti]€Si.j"5 Hon- ourable Privy Councils in the years of 1898, 1913, and 1917, in respect to the fisheries of the Dominion of Canada, it is stated, That fishing in thc tidal waters is a public right. subject only to regulation by the Dominion Par- iiztment; and furthcrstatcs, By reason of the Provisions oi the Magua Charts, no restriction can be put upon that right of thc pub- lic by an exercise of the preroga- tive in thc fonn of a grant or oth- erivise. And, wlicicas, That from roul- lng ovcr said Privy Council dc- cisions, which are from the high- cst Courts in thc British realms. it is deemed, that thc tidal water fish- cries are governed by thc statutcs of Grcat Blitaiu, and no’. hy thc iDominion statutes, and that thc Dominion cannot lcgaii’; adopt any policy in regard to tidal water fish- cries that reaches out beyondits partment of Fisheries are not, nor ' little use at this season of the year . “If the Govern- , ever came from the Maritime Pro- : tlon and growth of the Unions but‘ i i CANADIAN LIIG ION A g sumo muv i R.
