head In tho Gulf or -. Lawrence.

OTTAWA, July ls.-Complaint comes TO the
department from the fishing interests along the
lower st. Lawrence River and Gulf against the
fishermen OF Newfoundland. who. having ex-
hausted their own fisheries In many localities.
have not the least hesitation In moving their
sphere of operations to Canadian Labrador. to
run the Canadian fisherman out. On the Cana
dian Labrador coast there arc about 5000
people who are entirely dependent upon fishing
Tor Subsistence; and the industry, likewise, has
been one OF profit 10 them. While Canadian
fishermen endeavOr to respect tho regulations
OF the Fisheries Department, these strangers
evince no such regard. and are governed solely
by their greed and c~upidity. As soon as these
Ncwfoundlandcrs see any sign OF the approach
OF n Canadian fisheries cruiser they pick up
their nets and sail away to their own shores.
Should Canadian fishermen, on the other hand,
attempt TO make a catch OF fish on tho Now.
foundland coast they are subject to a heavy tax
which would render II impossible for thom to
fish with any profit. At the present time there
are reported TO be 200 Newfoundland fishing
vessels operating, in the Canadian preserves.
Prompt action win bo taken by the Department
oil Marine and Fisheries. and an officer will DO
detailed TO supervise in the locality mentioned.
