Opposition to Increasing Number

ST. Johns. y. F., Feb. 10.-ProSpocts
for the annual seal fishery in the Gun

dubious With only a month and Il
day remaining before the departure OF
the sealing fleet on March Il. news
has reached the owners of III" vessels
here that ice already has packed in
heavily in the Straits Of Belle Isle.
So extensive is the pack reported. that
open water cannot be seen for miles.
Last year at this time there was com
paratively no ice in the straits. \
heavy frost is reported in the gulf ana
the quest for seal this season is eX-
pected To be a trying one.
They add TO the troubles Of the own
erS n strike impends among the crews.
1t is reported that the men Will strike
during half the usual voyage unless
the steamer owners grant certain de-
mands. The latter declare they have
not been approached in the matter and
that if the demands are made they will
not send their steamers to the fishery.
1t is believed this matter will soon be
settled satisfactorily to all.
The report that the vessel owners
were to increase the size of the crews
this season, has met with much op-
position from the sealerS to whom it
would mean a diminution Of the pro-

authority.
The average total annual catch of
seal is well over half a million. With
favorable conditions it had been hoped
to surpass the amount this season. Ar
engagements have been made to outfit
seven vessels of the fleet with wireless
telegraph outfits and as the two YES
sells so equipped last season were high

The departure of the fleet for the
