CTBIIfE AT fit —Fisherman photo
9IKIIVE Ml V.IL These strikers are picketing Canadian Industries Limited (CIL) plant at Annacis Island over a number of issues, headed by union security and plant seniority. Members of the Pulp and Paper Workers of Canada, picketers are, from the left, Herbie Law, Joe Sinkovitz, Waldo Strifling, and Florence Fee. The two week old strike involves 25 workers. Union spokesman Orville Braaten says company policy is "medieval," citing as an example its refusal to set up a joint safety committee on the grounds that it interferes with management rights. Its policies are similar in its many other operations across Canada.

Eight Nations Exempt From 12 Mile Limit
The weakness of Canada's new 12 mile fishing limit, proclaimed in July, is apparent in the federal government's order in council exempting fishing vessels of the United States and seven European countries from its provisions.
Under the order, US vessels may continue fishing up to the former three mile territorial waters limit on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and vessels of France, Britain, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Norway and Denmark may continue fishing up to the three mile limit on the Atlantic coast.
In its preamble, the order notes that "negotiations have been under way with the governments of the United States of America, France, Britain, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Norway and Denmark respecting fishing off Canada's coast," and that "the Territorial Sea and Fishing Zones Act will extend to areas now fished by these countries the laws of Canada respecting fishing which apply to the territorial sea of Canada."
The order amends the Coastal Fisheries Protection Regulations
to exempt the US and the seven countries named from provisions of the Act because "at the present stage of negotiations, and in order" to facilitate their completion, it is expedient not to extend the application of the laws of Canada respecting fishing to areas fished by the aforementioned countries."
LARGELY INEFFECTUAL
As the United Fishermen and Allied workers Union and other organisations opposed to the measure in its present form pointed out when it was before parliament, exclusion of US and other fishing vessels renders the 12 mile limit largely ineffectual in assuring Canadian fishermen exclusive fishing rights in their own home waters.
On the Pacific coast, US fishermen are the only foreigners fishing within what is now Canada's 12 mile fishing zone. On the Atlantic coast, US, French, British, Portugese, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian and Danish vessels constitute by far the largest part of foreign fishing fleets.
In practice, the effect of the new measure is to exclude mainly Soviet, Polish and East Ger-
Soviet Trawler Catches Halibut in Barents Sea
A Soviet trawl fleet is reported to have made good catches of halibut in the Barents Sea after an exploration vessel using an improved type of bottom trawl discovered concentrations of the fish at depths ranging from 2,790 to 3,610 feet.
According to a Japanese press summary of Soviet fisheries reports, Soviet gear experts have developed an improved type of bottom trawl gear which can withstand water pressure at great depths.
Use of this gear by the exploration vessel led to discovery of the halibut and enabled the fishery to be exploited by a fleet of 20 trawlers.
The new gear has reinforced floats, heavier rope length adjusting boards of 220-265 pound weight, and longer ropes of smaller diameter sufficiently strong to withstand the pressure of net hauling by winches.
Soviet fisheries organisations plan to use the gear for trawling at depths up to 4,265 feet in the
Barents Sea and North Atlantic-Ocean. They also hope to increase landings by using the gear in the Bering and Okhotsk seas.
man fleets from the 12 mile zone on the Atlantic coast, and to prevent Japanese fleets from expanding their Ashing operations in the North Pacific and Atlantic oceans closer than 12 miles off Canadian coasts.
WA Holds First Meet
By CARRIE IRONSIDE
The first regular meeting of Vancouver Women's Auxiliary for the fall season was held on Tuesday, September 8 in the lounge room of the Fishermen's hall with nine members present. We have a very busy schedule ahead and will need the help of all wives of fishermen, shoreworkers and ten-dermen.
Outstanding on the agenda is assistance to the Robert Jackson family at Port Edward who lost everything except what they were wearing at the time of the August 20 fire. Anyone having any clothing or household items to donate is asked to bring them to the Fishermen's Hall as soon as possible, preferably before September 22.
October will be declared fish month and the Women's Auxiliaries are planning a dinner about October 16. Actual date will be announced later.
Again we are appealing to all wives of fishermen, shoreworkers, and tendermen to come and join our Women's Auxiliary. Have an evening out once a month and see how we can help our husbands. Next meeting will be October 6.
