ATTACKS NEWSPAPER
POSTAL LAW.

The opening attack upon the con-
st~itutionality of the sections of the
recent postal appropriation act re-
quiring newspapers to give postal
authorities access to their circulation
records and to publish the names of
their stock holders and bondholders,
as well as to label paid articles as
advertisement articles, was made
Monday in a printed brief filed by
Robert C. Morris and G. B. Plante,
on behalf of the Journal of Com
mere and Commercial Bulletin of
New York. The ase is set for argu-
ment orally on December 2.
The attorneys for the newspapers
contend principally that the sec
tions violate the constitutional liber-
ty of the $4,000 newspapers, maya
zines and periodicals published
throughout the United States.
Unlike public service corpora
tions, the newspapers, the attorneys
claim, have no element which gives
the government a right to regulate
their business except in so far as the
public morals or public welfare is
concerned.
Absolutely no authority can be
found for a contention that the pro-
vision complained of in this act was
enacted for the public benefit" de-
clare the attorneys. Neither the
government nor the public at large
can be benefited by the knowledge of
the private business affairs and the
financial affairs of newspapers"
"On the other hand, provisions
objected to in the act are more than
unreasonable in their demands upon
the wne of a newspaper. They
are perniciously inquisitorial. They
strike down private rights and in
wade personal freedom and destroy
private property in that they ruin
the publicantion if it refuses to meet
their arbitrary demands, for ruin
would surely follow the denial of
the privilege of the mail.
eIn the act, individual injury is
inflicted without any corresponding
benefits to society. If the corpora
ton is doing business on borrowed
money, for which it has issued its
notes or other obligations, it must
publish to the world the holders of
such obligations. to the annoyance
of such lenders and the e~ndangering
of its credit. 1t must show the yul-
nerable spots in its financial armor
to the benefit of its competitor and
enemies. Banks and other large
financial institutions will refuse to
loan it money for fear that they will
be held out and advertised as sup
porting or controlling its editorial or
political policy. Nor are these fanci-
full objections. To the business man
they are real and alarming.
THE attorneys warn lawyers, doc
tors and other professional men that
If this act is upheld congress may
equally require them to publish and
disclose the names of their clients"

Poor oyster Session in Maryland.

Poor oyster session In Maryland.
With the floors of the warehouses
practically bare of oysters canned in
Baltimore, the bivalve season ended
April 25. 1t has been poor period
and the packers made little money; in
fact, those who did not lose consider
themselves fortunate.
When the season opened last fall the
prospects of an unusually large pack
were good. Until after the Christmas
holidays the supply was good and the
demand for the Baltimore packed pro
duct was heavy. With the pack prac
tically sold, along about the first of
the year came the bitter cold weather.
For seven weeks the bay was COW
cred with ice. 1t was impossible for
the small oyster boats to. force their
way to Baltimore and bring a suffi
cient quantity of the bivalves to this
city to keep the packing houses at
work. Thousands of persons employed
by them were without work.
| When the freeze broke up the dredg
ing season was over, and the packers
had little opportunity to make up fol
the lost time. Now come heavy orders
from all over the country and tn,
packers have scarcely enough stock tt
cover an ordinary demand between nov
and the opening of the packing season
next October.
