TIME TO END THIS STRIKE
New York Times


Since Christmas, almost three
months ago, 500 members of the At
lantic Fishermen's Union (A.FL0
have been on strike against the Fed
Grafton Fishing Boats of New Eng
land and New York, Inc, which
operates most of the large trawlerS
moving out of Boston. The argu-
ment is over the crews share OF
the catch, which is now divided with
the owners on a $3.50 basis. The
crews want go per cent of the catch,
which the owners say they cannot
give them and still operate their
ships at profit,
The strike has resulted not only
in the enforced unemployment of
many people ordinarily working at
the Boston Fish Pier, but has grave
ly endangered Boston's continued
prominence in the fishing industry
and has invited an increase in
competition by Canadian fishing in
terestS. Particularly at this time
when people, both in the United
States and Europe, are short of
food, such a deadlock in the cultiva-
ton of one mans major sources of
food seems callous and obstinate in
the extreme. For the sake of Bos-
ton and the industry, it is to be
hoped that arbitration of the dis
pute by some disinterested person or
pedsons can be soon arranged

The Brunswick farm was pur-
chased In June, 1884, from c. D.

been farmed by work crews of
from 10 to 40 men, depending upon
the crops. This past year approx
