Strike at Boston
Threatens Nation
With Fish Famine
Crews Out and Boats Tied Up
Lent Demand Expected
to Drive Prices Up

Boston, Feb. 2S-A fish famine such
as has never before been known in the
United States threatens the pet pie of
this country. BY the last of this week,
il is believed, groundfsh will have sd-
vanced to a price that is almoso pro-
hibitive, and it will be impossible TO
meet the demand for fish throughout
Lent.
This announcement was made this
afternoon, together with the decision
of the owners of fishing vessels il this
city to let their vessels remain idle
rather than give in to the demands Of
the striking fishermen.
Six Boston owned fishing schooners
were towed to-day to Gloucester, where
they will be laid up or enter the salt
fish industry. Other vessels Of the
Boston feet will be laid up in this city.
About fifty-fvc schooners now on
the fishing banks are expected IN
within a few days. and their crows, in
all probability, will join the strikers.
The trouble between the ship owners
and the fishermen is a development Of
the partnership system which for gem
erations has prevailed in the GlCuces-
ter and Boston fisheries. Under this
system the owner and crew divide the
net profits equally. The fishermen OBJ
ject to having the owners deduct from
the gross proceeds the cost of towing,
auxiliary steam and gasolene engines
and repairs TO gear.

Albany, Feb. 2s.- Objection TO the
Wicks bill and the market bill at the
joint legislative hearing to-day came
principally from representatives OF
middlemen and farmers, but it was not
nearly as vigorous as Governor Whit
man, Senator Wicks and George W.
Perkins expected. Victor X. McElheny,
appearing in behalf of fruit interests,
continued his argument with Mr.. Per
kins after the hearing had adjourned.
"Well. what would you suggest do
ing?" asked Mr.. Perkins when Mr.. Nc
Elheny criticised the Wicks bill and
the investigation that preceded IT. The
latter did not answer specifically, ana
Mr.. Perkins said: "If we had the
power il would take us just about thir-
ty days to drive you fellows out OF
business
Governor Whitman and the sponsors
of the bill believe that 1t will have 10
be changed in many particulars, but
entertain no fears for its passage later
in the session. Another hearing has
beer set for March 20.
Power of Fraud Dehed
Judge Ward, counsel to the Wicks
Commission. and Mr. Perkins were ITS
chief supporters. Judge Ward declared
at the outset that the bill couid Dc
