THE OYSTER sRAsON.

The oyster-fleets have all completed
the summer overhauling and reftting,
and the boats will all leave on MondIy
for the various oyster-grounds OF the
Chesapeake and its tributaries to com
mence the seasons work. Except for
very few catchers no money
was made in the oyster industry
last season, the packers particularly
coming out with very limited modI-
cum OF profits. Prices also ruled small
for the catchers IL is hoped there will
be an Improvement this season both IN
prices for those who work on the rocks
and those who pack and ship. A repeti-
ton of last seasons experience will force
many packers out of the business. Oys-
termen say that it is hard to predict
what their traffic will be until the
season opens, when they can tell the
quality and quantity from personal
examination Of the grounds. While re-
ports from eli the districts are not as en-
couraging as the dealers could wish, yet
the outlook is for much better bust
ness than last season. The season law
fully opens on Saturday, but cannot
practically begin until next week.

LOUISVILLE, February lS.-Fiye mem
ber3 Of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee for this the Fifth congressional
district met last night for the purpose of
receiving the representatives, of the diff
ferent labor organizations who wished
the committee to attempt a settlement OF
the trouble they imagined to be existing
between the CDUricr-JOUrBQi and Times
and members OF Typographical Union
No. 10.
Thirty-two delegates, representing two
labor unions in tins city. were present.
One of the labor speakers said: 1.-The
COUricr-J0UrnM is the organ OF the
Democratic party, and that organization
threatens our existence and yours. We
are here not as partisins in politics, but
as representatives OF workingmen, ask
ing You of the Democratic committee,
for the good and advantage OF your
party. TO settle this trouble. The same
steps have been taken in the East with
the Republican party. The city and
State committees Of New York being
asked TO restore union printers to their
cases on the New York Trjbmc, they
refused to interfere, and the Republican
party. victorious heretofore, went down
IN defeat. You can draw your own con-
illusions. Lately the Republican Ma
tonal Executive Committee succeeded
in settling the labor troubles on the
New York Tlibmc. Next fall, with
eyerythingunion 10 the Republican party,
it is easy 10 see that the same condition
should exist IN the Democratic ranks if
that party wishes to have equal advan-
tage in obtaining the votes Of working
men.
Atthe conclusion Of the speeches the
following resolutions were presented to
the committee:
$50 the Honor05ic Ncmbcrs of the
Dcmocraiic Erecufiye Committee,
TyNb Congressional District:
Whereas the COUier-JOmnoi and
Times Of this city are the recognized
ORGANS Of the Democratic party in this
city and State and whereas the plb-
fishers of these papers have ignored and
excluded from their employ or refused
to recognize honest, home organized
labor, and have supplanted them with
rat labor: therefore
Rcsohcd, That we request your COM
mittee TO induce the publishers of those
papers t. recognize and re-employ hon
est, organized home labor, and If they
refuse to do so, for your committee to
formally and publicly declare the said
rat papers as no longer the organs of
your party
Chairman Shirley said that the Courier
J0unai and Times had never been by
resolution or otherwise declared the Off
cial organs OF the party The newspa-
pers were free, and he said they were all
Tout for the stuff. So far as going IN
the interests OF the party to the newspa-
per publishers. he certainly thought the
committee would do that, but the COM
miitce might tail in It's purpose, and be
wanted to know in that event what would
he the position OF tue laboring men
toward the Democratic party. The an
swer was that if the committee refused
to interfere III the matter, or fail IN its
mission. the trouble would be laid before
the State Central Committee, and in turn
before the National Democratic Commit
