FISHING INDUSTRY
 IS BEING HARD HIT
Heavy Storms Have Taken Such Toll That Newfoundland Fishermen
 Are Failing

St. Johns, N. F., Jan. 3l.-(By As socated Press) s)-Heavy toll eXacted by storms threatens to ruin the fishing industry of Newfoundland A move ment now is on foot to induce the legislature to offer heavy bounties for the building of schooners to replace the many lost in the last few years During 1921. not less than 42 stout fishing schooners dropped into Davy
 Jones' locker, and 1922 already has a lengthy list of losses. The entire New foundland fleet today is not more than half that of 1900. The number Of
 schooners between 80 and 65 tons in
 service today is about 500, as against
 from 1,400 to 1,50o in the closing years of the 18th century.
 Thirty to 40 years ago, building and
 purchasing of schooners ln Nova Sco- tia for the Newfoundland fleet kept
 pace fairly well with the annual losses, but all this has changed grad ually, and during the last 20 years,
 ten schooners have been lost to one built each season,
