Pilot reporter, and each expressed con-
fidence in his election.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
fight has narrowed down to almost per-
sonal lines. the two rival candidates
are on friendly terms, as was evincef
by their pleasant exchange Of greetings
as they met on Main street yesterday
afternoon. ''
Mr.. Stands not only believes in his

Claude J. Bradshaw will be elected 10
the House from Isle of Wight countv

CAUSE OF THIS ACTION.


ployed.
CAUSE OF THIS ACTION.
The employers state that they have
been forced to take this action by the
fact that their business is constantly
menaced by the attitude of few lead
ers among the shuckers, who have
called the employees out on various oc-
caslons and on very frivolous grounds,
such, often, as the discharge of an OBJ
jectionable hand. They state that this
objection has become so great that the
time has now arrived for united action
and to settle the matter for oil time,
that they shall be able to run their
own business without outside dictation
FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE.
1t is estimated that there are at least
hve thousand people directly and indi-
rectly dependent on our local oyster in
dustry This includes about 1900 to l.
800 shuckers. Aside from these arc the
oyster gatherers. dock hands and their
families. The stopDage of the oyster
industry is also a serious item with our
transportation interests, as large part
OIL Norfolks outward bound freight
uurihE the oyster season consists Of
oyster In the shell and In packages.
TWO MILLIONS PER ANNUM.
The records Of the harbor show that
our oyster industry has reached a vol
ume of two million dollars per annum.
There is expended weekly for wages
alone the sum of approximately SIS, 600.
The. payroll OF one Norfolk firm last
week for labor was $1,000.
COMPARATIVE WAGES.
The packers state that the pots used
here In shucking are smaller, by two
pints, than those used on the Eastern
Shore and in North Carolina, the two
points that come into direct competi-
ton with the Norfolk section.
The pot used In and around Norfolk
holds from 0 to 10 pints, and the
shnckcr gets per pot 10 cents for his
labor.
The pot used on the Eastern Shore
and in North Carolina holds 10 pints.
and the shuckcr In those sections gets
Is cents per pot for his labor.
This shows that the shuckers of Nor
folk get about 6 cents more per gal
Ion than the shuckers OF the two other
sections that are our direct competl-
tors. II this difference (alrcady heavy)
is made greater 1t Is problematicnl IL
Norfolle packers can maintain their es-
Establishments here and the loss to. this
section of its great oyster industry
would he severe blow felt in all chan
nelS of trade

Americans lost about $50 killed
