LOBSTER Gl CH
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 ol
lobsters taken in waters adjacent tc
but outside the territorial waters ot
Canada during the closed seasons. The
bill is aimed to protect the catch ol
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, Massachusetts, 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 its advocacy by the
joint fisheries conference of the
United States and its northern neigh
bor and by Secretary of Commercs
; Redfield.
i met Justice Hazen of New Bruns
T^ick, according to- tsrcretnry
field, contends that Canadian fisher
men are irritated by the fact tha
j while their laws prohibit them from
taking lobsters during the closed sea
son, they have to stand by and watch
United States smacks catch the lob
sters just outside the Canadian waters
and carry them back to the Americat
market.
In United States waters the fisher
ies are conducted every day in the
year. In some counties of Novo Sco
tia there is a protracted closed season
which covers the time when the lob
ster eggs are hatching. The object
oi the closed-time regulations in Can
ada is to curtail the catch during that
period. Most of the lobsters caught
on the Nova Scotia and New Bruns
wick coasts have to be canned. The
communities are remote from trans
portation lines and there are practi
cally no local sales. There is virtu
ally no size limit of lobsters that may
be caught for canning. The lobsters
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 dif
teient coast points, but in most cases
begins in June or July and continues
to November, December or January.
The fisheries commission has ad
vised the house committee that lob
sters can be caught in water as deep
as 250 fathoms, at least, although most
of the lobsters caught on the United
states and Canadian coasts come
from water less than 100 fathoms
ieep.
