TRAWLERS FIND SOMETHING
WRONG IN FISHING INDUSTRY
Catch Last Year Was Larger, But Many
Vessels Are Idle Because They Cant
Operate at a Profit.

possibility Of nberating the small fish
alive, and this is cited as one reason for
the shortage.
Sometimes a 2,000-pound haul of a
trawl yields but 500 pounds of sizeable
fish. The balance goes overheard.
Return to Hand Lines.
At present the picturesque hand liners
seems to have the best of the argu-
ment. Their expenses, especially those
who use sail to any appreciable extent,
are low. But the steam trawler must
stock $4,000 a week to cover operating
expenses before profit can be shown.
At 3 to z cents a pound, sometimes a
little more, $4,000 means a good many
pounds of fish.
Indications are that many fishermen
are returning to hand lines. Through
this method virtually every fish is of
marketable size.
The hand liners are prone to remind
the steam trawlerS that at many Euro
peah fishing ports, from which trawlers
have been operating for half century,
virtually all fish now landed are so
small they would be considered unmar-
ketable here. The first trawler came to

MOSCOW, February 7.-Soviet Rus
STA, which in 1927 produced only little
more than 5 per cent of the worlds
petroleum, hopes some day to lead the
world and cites the figures of steadily
increasing output as promise of the fu-
ture.
Ohicial figures revealed to the Asso-

chairman of the Soviet Oil Co., showed
total output for the IL months end
ing December 81, 1880, of 1851 900
metric tons. This was 81 per cent adj
vance over 1929, when production
amounted to 14,167, 900 tons. The pre-
revolution peak was in 1918. when
9,215,911 metric tons were produced.
M Ganshin said that the plans for
the IL months of 1881 envisaged an in
crease of at least As per cent over 1880,
which, If achieved, will make Russian
production just about double what it

BOSTON, February 7.-Something is
wrong with the fishing industry. Its
captains, ashore and af1oat, were in
agreement on this point today, but on
little else.
Individual catches have been growing
smaller, and many of the men who
brave the North Atlantics fury to reap
the harvest of the deep say there no
longer are as many or as fine flsh In
the sea.
Those still engaged in the ancient
hook-and-line method claim a shortage
has been brought about by wasteful
operations of the modern steam trawl-
erS.
Can't Operate at Profit.
The Massachusetts, Fisheries Asso-
citation has statistics to show that no
shortage exists, that the fish brought
to port last year actually represented an
increase. But the fact remains many
trawlers are idle now because they can
not operate at a profit.
The trawl, shaped like a coin purse,
is dragged along the floor of the ocean,
and into its NAV go fish of all sizes and
many varieties. The whole mass Is
churned so violently that there Is no
