Herring Fleet Declares A Strike

MASSES OF

OF FISH

DUMPED IN SEA

Campbeltown fishing fleet-

biggest on the

West Coast of Scotland-declared a “strike" re- cently as a protest against an attempt by the Herring Industry Board to enforce a restriction on herring catches which is causing hundreds of thousands of fish to be thrown back into the sea.

The men declared they would not put out to sea. Other fleets are likely to follow their example and the industry is threatened with disorganisation.

While the Firth of Clyde is providing such enormous shoals that nets were ripped open and destroyed by the sheer weight of fish, later catches have been limited to Names for Jews 40 baskets per pair of ring net boats.

THEY THROW CROCKERY, MOVE FURNITURE, DROP PICTURES

Do you believe in poltergeists, in impish, malicious spirits which take possession of a house, throw crockery, move furniture, drop pictures, pull of bedclothes, and generally frighten the lives out of people living there?
