meeting held at that: place last sat

those engaged In the industry being
well pleased with the one which has
been in existence for many years.
In this law is "a provision for the
measurement of oysters, four boxes of
stipulated size being considered a
full barrel. Three years ago an oyster
canning factory was established at
Alabama Port. The operators to ia
cilitate unloading the bivalres from
boats and barges. put in service our
tubs Of one-half barrel capacity.
These tubs will not hold quite so
many oysters as will two of the legal
boxes The company. it is seen there
by, becomes loser, but they argue this
loss is made up in the time saved in
getting the oysters into the cannery
and also in the handling of them. De-
spite the fact that the company's meas
ure is favorable to the oyster catchers
the company is willing to have the tub
measurement legalized. So far as can
ming factories are concerned. This
will not affect the standard used in
