Because the new delaware fishing
laws do not allow Saturday afternoon
fishing In the delaware river, the. New
Jersey Legislature has adjourned with
out agreeing TO the fishing compact be-
tween the two states.
For many years the Delaware and
New Jersey fishermen have been nt
loggarheads over the rights OF each
other in the bay and river
With the object Of settling the dis
pute commissioners from each State
werea ppointed 10 dr9ft uniform laws
regulating fishing and fixing the bound
airy line between the bays
The Delaware commission IN its ORR
glnai bin prohibited fishing only be
tween Saturday midnight and Sunday
midnight, but the Delaware Legislature
amended the bin as 10 proh'bit fishing
between noon on saturday and mil
-nightoH Sunday. The bill % 81 amend
ed was passed end forwarded % the
New Jersey Comm ssion for rgescnta-
tion to the Legislature OF that State.
Then developed opposition TO the
measure by south Jersey fishermen be-
cause % prevented them from fishing
on saturday afternoon. So strong did
the opposition become that the New
Jersey Legislature refused 20 enact the
Delaware law on fits books.
Walter II. Hayes OF the Delaware
Commission, said to-dly that there
would therefore be no uniform fishing
laws between the States until the next
meeting Of the Legislatures, two years

Quart on May |, and Re-
duCe Wholesale Price

AT special meeting Of tho MIX Pro-
ducers' Protective Association to-day at
the Bulls Head Hotel in this city. 1t was
decided to adopt the liquid measure In the
sale Of milk to retailers on May l. The
standard measure was fixed by enactment
Of the recent Legislature. similar 70 the
Pennsylvania law
Under the present arrangements. the
producers dispose OF milk by dry measure.
by which the retailer when buying 100
quarts gets 1i6 2-3 liquid quarts Thus by
the difference In the measures used In the
past the Wholesaler has really been SELL
ing 1i6 2-S quarts for 100.
The producers to-day said that II the
public was getting the benefit Of this d.f-
ference they would not mind, but they
contend that inasmuch as the retailers
sell by liquid measure, they should also
buy by this measure.
Recently the Retail MIX Dealers Asao-
citation decided 10 give the wholesalers on
an average Of four cents quart for min.
teh entire year around. This price the pro-
ducers will reduce because of the adoption
Of thel iauid measure. and at their regular
meeting which win be held In this city on
