and began his career hereabouts by working
on the fishing shores as seine hauler. He
was much interested in his later years in
oyster propagation. He feared the natural
supply of the bivalyes might become ex-
hausted in time.
1t was said he was the only oyster dealer
in the District to own his own oyster beds,
being the proprietor of a farm in st. Mary q
county, Md. which had a water front of
one and one-quarter miles. This front is
along st. Patrick's creek. and there was
carried out a systematic plan of oyster
propagation. 1t Is related that several years
ago the st. Patrick's creek oysters ranked
with the noted Lynn Haven bays and other
famed natural growths. for size and excel
lence Of flavor.
When steamed oysters first came into
vogue here Mr.. Weser provided himself
with a gigantic iron pot, in which the oys-

CHILD LABOR PROBLEM
PRESIDENT WRITES TO sEcRE-
TARY STRAUS.

The White House today made public the
following letter the President has written
to Secretary Straus:
February 20. 1907.
My dear Mr.. Stratus:
The investigation into the conditions Of
woman and child labor should In my judg-
ment unauestionably be made by the bureau
OF labor. This IL not merely q statistical
investigation. II 1t were 1t would be en-
inently proper to have the census bureau
conduct It.: but as it is the census bureau
strongly objects to undertaking the work.
Director North has protested before the
committee dealing with the sundry civil
appropriation bill against having to under
take this work. saying that he did not re-
gard himself as in any way competent to
carry on the work because of its being of a
kind in which he had no experience what
ever, adding: 1T Is q kind of work which
Is foreign to- the whole theory Of a census
ONCE. and it belongs to the bureau Of
labor. In short, to intrust the work to the
census office instead OF to the bureau Of
labor Is to Illustrate the entire purpose of
undertaking the investigation. The pro-
posed Investigation is to bear fruit In lesis-
lation II possible by the ma tional Congress;
II not. then by the state legislatures. in
consequence of the publication of the facts
produced by the bureau of labor-always
provided. OF course, that the investigation
shows the necessity of any legislation what
ever
Praises Labor Bureau
L cannot too strongly state that, in
my judgment, the Investigation will be
shorn of very large part of the good re-
suits We have a right to expect from it
II 1t is not confided to the bureau Of labor
Matters concerning labor conditions
Should properly be investigated by the bu-
reau of labor. Any effort to minimize the
functions of the bureau by taking away
from it these Investigations should not
succeed, especially when the real objec-
ton to the bureau is that il has done the
work allotted to it in first-rate shape, as,
Tor instance, in the case Of the packing
house investigation last spring 1t seems
to me inadvisable. for every reason, to
penalize the bureau of labor for the excel
lent investigations it has made (as for
instance. in this packing house matter),
by taking away from 1t the right to make
such Investigations in the future. The
bureau was organized to advance the legit-
innate interests of labor. l would not for
one moment tolerate it's acting in a DEM
agogic spirit or its failing to pay Just
as much heed to the rights and interests
of the capitalist who Is acting decently
as to those of the wage worker who is act
ing decently; but l have not seen the
slightest symptom of any dereliction of
duty by the bureau or it's chief, Mr. Neill
and it does not seem wise to give the i'm
preston that we are penalizing the bu-
reau because it has in proper fashion
sought to represent the labor interests of
the country. Sincerely yours,
(Signed)

1874 LABOR PAPERS.
In Che United States and Canada
Reach q Wide Circle Of Readers.

From the World Today.
One hundred and eighty-five monthly and
one hundred and seventy-nine weekly Jour-
nails in the United States and Canada are
devoted exclusively to the advocacy Of
trade unionism.
These 1854 publications. which number
does not include socialist periodicals, reach
a not inconsiderable portion of the labor
ing community and exercise an influence in
1t which is little suspected.
There are in North America approx
mately 100000 working people organized
into trades unions, and each of them re-
ceives the official organ Of the craft to
which he or she belongs and usually one
or two other labor papers. But the pres
tige of these journals extends beyond the
enrolled membership of established organ
izations- They number among their SUBJ
scribers many sympathizers and non-union
workmen: they are placed on the tables of
reading rooms all over the country, and for
every subscriber there are probably two
readers. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
they reach 100000 readers. perhaps half
as many more.
