VICTORIA,
Feb.
26:
Before
the
fistieries
committee
of
the
legislature
yesterday,
H.
J.
Bradbury
of
Prince
Rupert,
on
behalf
of
the
independent
seineboat
owners
of
the
coast,
said
that
there
were
10
independent
seineboats
operating
ori'the
British
Columbia
coast,
each
boat
having
six
or
seven
men.
Independent
seiners
owned
their
own
boats
and
gear
and
on
the
coast
there
was
an
investment
in
such
equipment
totalling
$1,800,00.
"We
fishermen,"
said
Mr.
Bradbury,
"need
protection
just
as
much
as
do
the
canners."
o
Mr
Bradbury
urged
that
the
fishermen
be
allowed
to
fish
wher-evcr
they
liked
as
long
as
no
laws
were
broken.
He
declared
that,
while
the
canneries
could
pack
from
Prince
Rupert
to
Vancouver,
the
fishermen,
by
the
proposed
regulations,
would
be
unable
to
take
fish
from
one
area
to
another.
