FISH INDUSTRY
To Be Speeded up and Restrictions
Resumed to Aid Food Conservation

Washington, Sept 2S.-Immediate re
moval of all restrictions on American
salt water fisheries for the war period

and kilograms were sent today to the
authorities of all states on salt water
urging that they fall into line.
BY suspending closed seasons and
prohibitions against purse-seinins,
night fishing. torching, use Of traps and
fishing by non-residents. the food ad-
ministration expects to see general
speeding up of the fish industry and
consequent addition to the supply Of
fish to substitute for the meat that
must be sent to feed the American
armies in the field The plan was
launched upon the approval of Food
Administrator Hoover of the recon-
mendations Of a conference partici-
pated in by Dr. Hugh M. Smith, fed
eral commissioner of fisheries; A. l..
Millett, the Massachusetts commits
sioner, Gardner Pool. representing the
fish industries Of Boston, and Kenneth
Fowler, chief Of the fisheries section Of
the food administration.
Data in the hands Of the administra-
ton show that the seasons catch has
been from 25 to. so per cent below nor
NAL in various parts Of the country.
