OYSTER FISHERY
 CLOSED BY STRIKE

New Orleans, November 1S.--Because they were asked to accept cut of , cents per barrel on the oysters they sup piled the large canning factory of Dun bar & Sons at Dunbar La, over 1000 fishermen declared today that they would quit work, and the big plant has in conse- quence been forced to shut down.
 The fishermen, who have their own boats, and who make their living on the water all tue year round, supply the plant with oysiers during the w.irser months They contend that they are un- able to furnish the oysters at a lower rate than 40 cents a barrel. They have been told that only S5 cents barrel will be paid in the future.
 This action on the part of the fish ermen has also resulted in the idleness of about 800 men, women and children usually employed as shuckers and packers at the plant

Sum Of Thirty Million DoI-
 lars Needed At Once
4 HEAVY DEFICIT IS FACED
Another Government Bond Issue Must Follow This One and Then Con gross Will Be Asked for Aid
 In the Emergency.
By wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, November 1S.-(Special)- As was expected would be the case, the administration was today compelled to issue bonds to the amount of $SoOOO OOO The condition of the treasury is such that by February or March the remaining A5,- 0O0,OO0 for which there Is authority will also be put out, and then it will be nec- essary for the administration to appeal to Congress for aid. The story of a forth coming issue of bonds was printed a week .before the election and met with no veri- fication at the treasury department. It was well understood, however, that there was no escaping this action. Theoretically this money is to be used on the Panama canal, but it actually is used for general purposes.
 In order to keep up the gold reserve the bond issue of the Cleveland administra- ton met never ending criticism by the re- publican orators. whose party meets much the same condition in an effort to keep the general fund from being depleted by daily drains upon it. The Cleveland bond issues were directly caused by the repub- lcan extravaganza in the preceding ad- ministration. Harrison's secretary of tho treasury had ordered plates prepared at the bureau of engraving and printing for a bond issue, but Clevelands election caused the decision to be reached to hold the matter off until the democrats could take the responsibility.
 At any rate it is not the democrats who can be held responsible for this and succeeding bond issues
 No surprise was manifested by the democratic members of the. ways and means committee over Secretary Cortel- you's announcement.
 The receipts of the government" said Representative Underwood of Alabama, "are falling off heavily and will continue to do so. especially as importers will naturally hold off un- til the new tariff bill is framed The government is hard pressed for cash and under present republican policies it is simply question of borrowing money.
 sThey have no other resort. The present tariff is not protective, it is prohibitive. We get no revenue be- cause we can secure no importations,
 The uefhOcrdtic paity, ihiouSh ieS ways and means committee members would reduce the tariff to revenue basis, but we cannot hope for any such action from the majority of the com lnittee now charged with the duty of framing a customs tariff. One point brought out in the hearings today is fairly illustrative. One of the wit nesses admitted that one-fourth of the starch produced in the United States is exported. and yet he wanted the present duty retained. In other words, there is no concession among the few who benefit by the tariff to the thous- ands who oo not, leaving aside the question of the governments hnances.
