The valiant fight put up By the oyttsr
men against the order prohibiting the
shipment OF 'saoat.d" oysters in inter.
state commerce is not apt to profit them
UGH judging from the criticism OF their
arguments made by Dr.. Wiley today.
"Their statement" eald DR.. Wiley,
".hat the oyst rs ac'u,lly ia ten by q
tuenty.fcur. hour soak in fresh water is
t, ridiculous too consider. The tra. b is
tast az oyster filled " tn salt water
simply absorbs three drops of fresh wstsr
for every drop OF salt water discarded.
In other words We buy half water when
we get footed oyst.rs. They said that
they could not find market for oysters
taken direct from salt wstsr. Ii no others
were sold they could. 10 fact they
would have q much better favor il this
we're the case. Oysters do not, as they
sisted, shrink II shipped without first
being aoatsd When oysters are shipped
a long distance they are never dosted
beci use they would not keep go we'll If
they we're. 1t seems to me-" he con-
cluded, "tbat they are making the pub
lie pay for pint of wstsr every time
they buy quart Of oysters"
