Sealing Bill Debated In Newfoundland Assembly On Monopolies
Extended excerpts show MPs and captains arguing for and against a bill to restrict steamers from sealing before March 15 to protect sailing vessels. Speakers denounce monopolies, discuss labor, fisheries, and medical on ships, and push for broader opening of mining lands and fair play for northern pescadores. The debate touches Harbor Grace, Greenspond, and St John’s.
