Original Toronto Star caption: Polluting the water and air; this phosphorus-producing plant built by the Electric Reduction Company of Canada is the target for Newfoundland fishermen who say their survival is at stake. Some say their children may go hungry this winter. ERCO has established a $300;000 fund for fishermen while still disclaiming responsibility.
