tatives to attend the annual conven-
ton Of the State Federation of La
Dor whsn it meets next week in Nor

man of Roanoke; A. c. koontz, Of
Newport News; j. B. Clinedinst, of
Newport News, and J. Z. Reynolds,

The program of the convention, as
prepared by the labor leaders, con-
tains no particularly noteworthy
! feature.
Of chief interest to the delegates
will be the report of the legislative
committee, which worked unceasfng-
ly during the last session of Gene

measures favored by the federation
The committee will be able to report
the enactment Of seven district la
Dor laws-the amended ten-hour law,
the amended child-labor law, the
amended safety appliance law, the
law requiring proper ventilation Of
tmolding shops, the headlight law,
the plumbing inspection law and the
law relative to railway agents.
1t is expected that the convention

,paign for the enactment into law of
tother labor measures advocated by
the State Federation of Labor.

Commission Proceeds Against Three

Richnlond, !Va.,p May 25.-On it's

Con1nission@l1as began " proceedings
against the Southern Railway, the
Baltimoresand Ohio Railway, and the
Winchester and Strausburg Railroad

governing train service in the town
of Strasburg. The Southern Is salc

. POWDERED OYSTERS.
Hampton Man Discovers Process TO
Preserve Flavor Of Luscious
Rivalve.

Hampton, Va, May 25.-Captain
Franz: ". Darling, the largest ,oy.-
ster packer in the South, and whose
plart is located here has perfected
Ia process by which the succulent BIZ
valves can be pulveriZed and re-
duccd TO a powder retaining at the
same TIC its original flavor and
nutritious qualities.
The oyster when thus reduced can
be- bottled and kept Indefinitely.
In this form, it is claimed, ship
ment en-: be made to any part Of
the world where before it was in
practicable to ship owing to the per-
iishab!e nature. of this commodity.
1t IS further claimed by the inven-
tor that the oyster, in this form will
be Indispensable i'm hospitals and
i.sick rooms for making broths and
other strength giving foods. Cap
tain Darling conceived the idea few
years ago and began actual expert
ments six months ago, building a
laboratory in his plant here for the
purpose and having associated with
| him in the experiments govern
merit representative from the United
States.
in making the tests special ma
chinery had to be made and installed
and it was only last week that the
efforts of the experiments were
crowned with success. The process
as far as could be learned, is that the
oyster is first put through form
lula which evaporates the natura
Juices, leaving a dry pulpy matter
which responds readily TO the pull
verizing mill, producing a whitlsh
yellow powder somewhat lighter II
color than dry mustard.
To this product is then added
J certain ingredient, which is the rea
secret, to the powder which Captain
Darling claims restores TO the crush
ed oyster its original flavor. Thi!
new product, or rather by-produc
of the oyster industry will be know
as "oysters" and a company has al
ready been formed for its manufac
tune of wealthy New Workers whit
have been here during the final OK
periments. 1t is said by the promo
tiers Of this enterprise that this pro
duct will be on che market in tn
next few months. It is thought tina
the plant for the manufacture o
these goods will be located here.

MANY APPLY FOR PENSIONS.

rt..s5 nd it isAestfnfafed that during
mr. III of September upwards OF
>s5o GGH in state funds will be paid
om0 g,. m.
Jonlsun says that during the pres
cnt month already about $4,000 had
been paid out in pensions to the l,2O0
pensioners collecting under shat act
of the general assembly Of 1888 which
provided for soldiers who had lost
limbs and for widows of soldiers who
had lost limbs in battle and for wiS-
ows of soldiers killed on the firing
line.
The last general assembly appro-
priated S450,OO0 for pensions for the
present year, and it is the belief of
Clerk Johnson that this entire amount
will be required to infect the just
claims of the pension roll. johnson
explained that the increase in pensions
was the result Of many old soldiers
becoming disabled through age. There
are MANY new names on the pension
rolls Of 1914, according to Johnson,
which names belong to- men who have
ever since the civil war provided for
their families. Owing to the disability
of OLE age, many of the veterans have
found it imperative to put in their
claims for pensions, which pensions
they did not draw while able to pro-
vide for themselves and those depend
ent upon them.
