The oystermen were here yesterday
as predicted and they raised several
Gains combined while they were here.
There were dredgers and tOngers and
friends of dredgerS and tongers. The
delegation first tackled the commit zee
on fish, oysters and game, In tho House
and for hnlf an hour the region sur
pounding Mr.. Hutsons desk looked
Ike the assembling of swarm OF
bees. About II captains of the many
oyster vessels leaned or climbed oven
Mr. Hutson and his desk indiScriini
Il nately, and each of these II deep
n toned and lu5ty lunged captain;
fnised his voice at one and the SAME
~ time. The anvil chorus was nowhere
Finally Mr. Hutson cfawled out from
under the crowd aud led the way /,
the arlor. Here for awhile Ii wa
peademonium let; loose. Dredger
pleaded and tongers implicated, anC
after hearing everybody at once unit
they thoroughly understood not thu
Ietst thing that anybody said, sug
xesLion WINS made that one or no
more than two of The contendinl
forces talk at once.
= This Nas Il wise M owe. and Ar. Hut
son proved himself II strateglst wheI
he made IL. II resulted in dredger
and tongers alike agreeing to select I
committee OF ARBITRATION OF three
from each side to Xix up their differ
gnres and present them to the Legls
lature. This they will do.
In nutshell the trouble seems to b,
that the dredgers want to repeal tn,
Law Of 1881, which set apart Il certain
section of the bay for the exclusive
llse oil the tongers The tongers OK
press their willingness to give up thi
particular strip OF section providing
They may select another section. Tn
dFedgers On the other hand want th
entire bay thrown open alike 3
dredgers and tougels. The commit
tee OF arbitration, as stated above, wi
endeayur TO lis up some plan of agret
lnent.
One point on which all the oyster
meu agree, however is that the Stat
must take some radical and heroi
steps IL the oyster industry Is
worry anybody for many years Longer
They all agrea that the State shOul
make the appropriation asked for in
bill now before the House $4,000, I
ut up natural bed in the hay. 1t look
nov as though the oystermen woul
get this appropriation.
