WILL REGULATE
 LOBSTER CATCH
 OF NEW ENGLAND

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The house merchant marine committee is canvassing the views of the gov ernors of the New England sea coast states and the fishing organizations of that section regarding an administra- tion bill to prohibit importation of Holsters taken in waters adjacent to but outside the territorial waters of Canada during the closed seasons. The bill is aimed to protect the catch of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and was approved at meetings held by the American-Canadian fisheries confer ence held at Boston, Glouster, Mass, and at St. John, N. B.
 The merchant marine committee has held hearings on the subject in this city and the other day decided to refer the matter to the governors of New York, Connecticut, Rhode island, Massac husetts, New Hamp- shire and Maine, who have been asked to ascertain and report the sentiment among the fishermen. Pending that, the committee will defer action on the bill despite it's advocacy by the joint fisheries conference of the United States and it's northern neigh bor and by Secretary of Commerce Redfeld
 Chief Justice Hazen of New Bruns. wick, according to oecretary rsaa- field. contends that Canadian fisher. men are irritated by the fact that While their laws prohibit them from taking Holsters during the closed sea- son, they have to stand by and watch United States smacks catch the Iob. sters just. outside the Canadian waters and carry them back to the American market.
 In United States waters the fisher. les are conducted every day in the year In some counties of Noyo Sco- tia there is a protracted closed season which covers the time when the lob- ster eggs are hatching. The obiect or the closed-time regulations in Can. ada IS to curtail the catch during that period. Most of the Holsters caught on the Nova Scotia and New Bruns- WICK coasts have to be canned The communities are remote from trans portatlon lines and there are practi- cally no local sales. There is yirtu- ally no size limit of Holsters that may be caught for canning. The Holsters are caught principally in shoal water so that most of the lobster ground is In territorial waters, but it is possi- ble to get them as far as twenty miles from shore.
 The closed season in Canada is about half the year. It varies at diff lerent coast points, but in most cases begins in June or July and continues to November, December or January.
 The fisheries commission has ad- Vlsed the house committee that lob 'ters can be caught in water as deep IS 25O fathoms, at least, although most of the Holsters caught on the United States and Canadian coasts come rom water less than 100 fathoms leep.
