of
Aberdeen,
Scotland,
in
a
recent
number
says:
Hull,
with
Its
great
catching
power,
provides
the
most
eloquent
example
of
the
unfortunate
situation,
and
has
been
compelled
to
send
enormous
quantities
of
fish
to
the
fish
meal
factories.
Her
own
big
factory,
although
working
to
full
capacity,
has
been
unable
to
overtake
the
enormously
increased
supplies,
and
the
aid
of
outside
companies
has
had
to
be
called
In
to

disposal.
Exporters
and
merchants
are
also
affected.
The
former
find
the
internal
conditions
of
foreign
countries
playing
havoc
with
the
currency,
rendering
business
impossible.
At

have,
been
made'lmperatfve.
Ohe-tbf
"the
outstanding
features
of
the
situation,
of
course,
is
that
while
the
price
of
fish
has
dropped
so
considerably,
there
Is
no
corresponding
reduction
in
overhead
charges.
A
survey
of
the
position
was
made
by
Tom
Hudson,
president
of
the
Hull
Fishing
Vessel
Owners
Association,
the
other
day.
Asked
If
it
was
true
that
the
Hull
trawler
owners
had
decided
to
cut
down
crews
by
one
man
per
boat
on
Icelandic
and
White
Sea
voyages
in
the
hope
that
trawlers
would
bring
loss
fish
to
port.
Mr.
Hudson
said
it
was
true
that
such
reductions
were
being
made.
It
was
not
done
with
the
express
hope
of
reducing
catches,
however,
the
basic
reason
being
that
at
the
present
time
there
was
a
glut
of
a
perishable
article.
The
public
would
only
consume
so
much,
and
the
trawler
owners
were
having
to
send
a
tremendous
lot
to
fish
meal
works
because
there
was
no
sale
for
It
on
the
market.
"Such
disposal,"
he
continued,
"has
caused
a
very
great
loss
to
the
owners,
and
the
obvious
solution
would
be
to
lay
up
a
proportion
of
the
Hull
trawlers,
but
the
owners
are
very
loth
to
take
such
a
step
as
It
would
entail
great
hardship
to
the
people
engaged
In
the
industry
from
an
unemployment
point
of
view.
"At
this
time
of
the
year
various
boats
are
generally
held
up

for
renewals
and
repairs,
but
after
their
ordinary
survey
Is
completed
they
are
putting
out
to

again
as

concerned,
