SEASON
WILL OPEN TO-DAY

At sunrise this morning the oyster
men of the Delaware river and bay
will begin to rake for the oysters of
1904 -O5.
For four months this tempting first
course has been supplanted by soups
and other substitutes Now comes
September, the first of the eight months
containing the magic "r, " which is
supposed to make the oyster whole
some and palatable.
Judging from indications the oysters
will be fat, juicy and plentiful, and
will be as low in prices rs. if not low
er than last season.
The Maurice river coves from the
eastern shores of the Delaware Bay
and the western shores of New Jersey
are the best known and the most sub
stantial oysters produced
Thousands of these oysters are eaten
every year i'll Danville. Besides the
productions Of the Delaware Bay, Dan
willie people use largely the oysters of
Chesapeake and those obtained in the

FAriINE IN nEAT
is LATEST NEWS

CHICAGO, Aug 3l.-A famine in
meat is declared by the strikers in the
latest move by the strikers against the
packers. Orders have been issued for
a general strike except by the char
workmen throughout the country,
They are expected to go out tomorrow.
The order will affect in all about
J. 600 men in Chicago, including the
independent plants. The order, if OBJ
served, will also affect independent
plants in large capacity in East st.
Louis, Omaha. ST. Louis, Kansas City,
Sioux City, New York, Milwaukee,
Syracuse, Stickney, Ill. and hundreds
of small plants throughout the coun-
try, which employed from ten to TWEEN
ty men.
Altogether union cffiials assert that
Is, 900 men will 90 out and the meat
supply will be seriously crippled, leav-
ing as the only supply the output of
the big packers by their non-union
help.
Today the pickets surrounding the
stock yards were largely increased, the
yards being watched for several blocks
away. Strike breakers were warned
not to leave the yards.
Bitter feeling exists against them.
rhe 900 stock handlers in the stock
yards quit work this forenoon. They
were greeted by cheers by the union
pickets.
The manager of the Union stock yards
and transit company said that in an
ticipation of strike of the stock
handlers men had been in training to
take the places of deserting weighers
and that fifty of such men are availa-
BILE at once He said that further no
trouble was expected i'll handling
stock.
The packers say it is Donnelly's aim
to create a meat famine, which he
thinks would arouse the public to such
a pitch of Indignation that settle
ment would be forced.
"DonnelIy is undertaking the i'm
possible, " said a representative of one
of the packers. There is little chance
of meat famine. The independent
packers who by their collusion with
the unions, have profited much during
the strike, will suffer most.
President Donnelly is said to be de
pending upon the union drivers for
the success of his attempt to make
meat scarce. What action the 3, 500
grocery and meat market wagons driv-
ers will take, remains to be seen.
Heretofore they have refused to handle
meat from the strike affected packers,
and their employers were forced to
buy from the independents. 1t is also
said that an attempt will be made to
shut off the ice supply from every re-
tail market in Chicago. since all meat
products are to be on the unions 'un-
fair" list
