Boston, Sept. The opinion that the de-
cisiou OF The Hague court favored the
great Gloucester fishing interests, as far a
the herring industry is concerned. was ex-
pressed to-day by Thomas 7. Carroll man
aEer OF the t5orton-Pew Fisheries Com

SO lar as The Gloucester fishermen have
dealings with Newfoundland, % per cent
concerns the herring industry" Mr.. Car
roll said and the Gloucester men believe
that the decision OF the arbitration court
uphoIds thei contention and permits them
TO go jnto tho bays and employ natives of
Newfoundland in carrying on the herring
industry.
"One or tho points decided in favor OF
the American contention was that the
treaty Of 1915 should be upheld. Under the
terms Of this treaty American fishermen
are permitted TO operate In the bays on the
southern and western coasts of Newfound-
land These are the sections where the
herring industry is carried on.
