FEDERAL REGULATION
OF LOBSTER BUSINESS

Portland, Me-, Jan. 15-Hearing be-
fore the House committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries will be
held in Washington, Jan. %, and
Harry c. Wilbur. chairman of the
Maine Sea and Shore Fisheries Com
mission, will attend. He will advo-
cate passage of the bill for Federal
regulation of the lobster business
which is substantially the same as he
drafted more than three years ago
and submitted to William G. Red
field, secretary of the Department of
Commerce, and others at a Boston
dinner and conference.
It provides for 103 inch minimum
to constitute a legal lobster. It
embodies all the essential features of
the Maine law and is designed to
equalize conditions under which lob
sters may be caught. bought and sold
in this country, the New England
coast being the source of supply.
Nova Scotia Holsters are obtainab!e
in large quantities during the open
season and form the only COMPETE
ton.
Gov. Milliken is instrumental in
having instituted Federal inquiry
into the lobster industry and his en-
dorsement of some law that will
prove protective in nature avoid dis
elimination either in favor of or
against any section Of the coast
where the industry thrivcs, is taken
for granted in advance. The Cover
nor is familiar with conditions pre-
vailing along this coast and has sun
ported such legislation in the Maine
Legislature the past year as seemed
best designed to help the situation.
He and all others Interested have
realized for some time urgent need
OF Federal control. State laws are
full Of discrepancies, and Massachu-
sets producing but per cent of its
lobster consumption, has been a keen
competitor in the market with a
shorter lobster in that state than in
Maine. Maine is by all odds the
leading lobster producing State and It
Will be gratifying to learn that at last
Congress has opened the door.
