PRICE ONE GENT
POOR DEMAND FOR OYSTERS.
Seasons Yield Has Been Prolilic, But
The Bivslves Are Bringing Small
Prizes.

Though the present oyster season
has been marked by prolific yield
OF the bivRlves. .it has been a poor one
as far as the tongers are concerned. !.
Not only in this city and county
bat in practically an Of the tidewater
counties Of the State, there has been
general complaint from the tongers
on account of the small prices re-
ceived for the product Of the Chesa-
peake.
That the complaint Is general is
borne out by TIE statement OF Capt
James Turner. Of the State police
steamer r. M. McLane. who was la
Annapolis last night Captain Turner
stated that there has been a surpris
ingly small demand for oysters this
season. AN along the wharyes Tn
Baltimore harbor he said, many boats
loaded with big carRoes. many Of
them refusing to sell because Of the
small prices offered.
The unusually mild weather Is
ascribed as a cause for the poor dc
mand Hoping that better prices
would be offered many local tongers
have bedJed hundreds OF bushels of
the bivalves, but the expected raise
has not been forthcoming.

ANNAPOLIS TO HAVE ONE.
A Community Christmas Tree and
Real Christmas Spirit.

Nothing can be accomplished with
out money, be it sven so little. 1t
is nov realized that it is impossible
to carry through successfully the
Community Christmas Tree without
some little expense-ssy SIS. or
more, although il was hoped to have
it entirely FREE and everything
given.
For instance, several trees have
been offered free, but these are
found to be too small for the purpose.
Annapolis wants a Community Christ
mas Tree that will tower above all
other trees nearby, and when lighted
at the Market Square near the City
Dock, may be seen far out into the
harbor.
A Christmas tree 40 feet tall can
be secured and brought to town for
the sum Of $40. This little expt nse
and other expenses must he entitled
to carry the plan out successfully.

I do not tndorse it. / do not be-
leve in training the young to con-
slider they belong to lower indus

John ]. Mitchell of the Illinois
TRUST & Savings Bank was a sur
prise.
81 think that the wages paid girls
in some places are a shame and dis
grace" he said. 81 don't believe in
paying low wages. 1 don't think it
pays, for one thing. We never put
any man in our bank under bond.
We pay them living wages and trust
them. And none has betrayed our
trust. believe we are the only bank
in Chicago that does this.
"Of course, if you enact a mini
mum wage law, you probably also
law, because INSCRIPTIONS mer-
chants would be liable to take the
difference out of the consumer by
raising prices. l believe the day of
such a maximum profit law, making
it illegal for merchant or manufac-
turer to make more than a certain
percentage of profit on capital in
vested, is coming"
James B. Forgan of the First Ma
tional Bank also was fair in his an
swers.
Asked what he thought of a mini
mum wage law, he hesitated for a
moment, and then said:
at is a question of study. It is
only after such thorough and
scientific investigation as your COM
mission is making that the wage
question can be settled at all"

Basch. When vocational training
was mentioned, his eyes Lit up. Pos

But where Basch got himself an
into a tangle was in trying to explain
how foolish minimum wage law
would be.
you must take into account the
apprentices and the idle and shift
less" he said. 81 am very earnest
now; very sincere. A minimum wage
law might be good for some, but it
would be bad for the 40 per cent Of
employees who are idle and shiftless."

do with girls whom you employ and
who prove to be idle and shiftless? +"

quite so" said O'Hara, 'and how
do you put the ginger into them?
l ask because we found one factory
where they put ginger into girl en-
ployes by throwing them on the floor
and things like that"
why, we have a school, said
Basch, (which is under our super
intendent and a number of very
capable women. By precept and ex-
ample, we teach the girl. Possibly
the girl is not fitted for work in
store. We find that out"
The more Basch talked along this
line, the more apparent it became
that no idle or shiftless" girl was al
lowed to hang around Siegel, Cooper
& Co.'s, and Basch's 40 per cent of
employees dwindled to per cent.
But 1 can assure you that the
young girls are very glad to come
to work for us for carfare or some
thing like that said Basch. $50
are their mothers. They are very
glad to have their girls learn how to
work with US, and quite satisfied with
small wages"
Basch then made the rather
startling statement that SIS week is
the lowest wage paid any girl in
