"OurPoor Fishermen

The assertion was made some time ago,
says the New York World, that many of
the so called American fishermen ship
ping at New England ports were Cana
dams. Further investigation makes the
situation in this respect still more pro-
nounced. 1t is said that the majority of
the Gloucester fishing vessels are managed
by foreigners in fact, the latter
constitute three.fourths of the men em'
ployed. In some cases whole crews,
from captain to cook, do not contain a
man who belongs to the flag he sails
under.
Most of the aliens are from the maritime
provinces, and cross the border to engage
for the fishing season, at the close of
which they return home with their earns
ings or share of their profits. 1t is en-
tirely natural that this should be so. The
Nova Scotians and their neighbors are
proverbially poor. They can get better
pay on an American vessel selling pro-
tected fish than they can on their own.
American employers want them and they
gravitate to Gloucester and other of our
fishing ports just as water seeks its level.
1t is for this state of affairs that the
American people have to pay higher
price for salt fish than they otherwise
would. 1t is thus that the alleged hardy
tars are being kept in supply for our
navy. 1t is for this that the heavy con-
