TO
SQUEEZE FARMERS

The Pioneer learns from reliable
source that there is likely tt. again be
another increase in the price of man
ure to the South Jersey farmers. Two
years ago they were buying manure
from $500 to $500 a car less than
they are at the present time, and as
there are from 1000 to 5000 cars of
manure used each season in this sec
ton, this uncalled for increase in
price, amounts to from $4,000 to $40,-
600 and is taken direct from the far
mers. The condition is becoming
alarming, as there seems to be no
reason for this increase in price, there
has been no increase in freight rates
nor do we think the labor in New
York City is any higher than it was
two years ago, but, we are informed
from reliable authority, that a combi-
nation of New York Stable Manure
Dealers exists for the sole purpose of
controlling the manure market.
The farmers are being robbed, and
they should enter their protest against
this combination in restraint of trade,
by bringing this matter to the atten-
tion of the Attorney General of the
State of New Jersey, and the United
States District Attorney, and their
representatives in the Legislature,
with view of getting some relief.
The average farmer last season re-
ceived much less revenue from his
farm than in pase seasons, and should
not be placed in position where he
is compelled to pay any advance for
manure. We urge that the farmers
take this matter up through their
Oranges by resolution and petition to
the proper authorities and endeavor to
break up this unlawful combination,
otherwise, they will get higher rath-
er than lower price on manure next
year. "A

sembly held short session tonight,
the only work by the Legislature since
the storm. Both houses will meet to-
morrow morning.
Assemblyman Godfrey, of Atlantic,
supported his resolution asking the
Federal Government to appropriate
" 100 for State roads and was
promptly silenced by the Democratic
steam roller. He also called for an
investigation of industrial conditions
in New Jersey under the new tariff,
expressing the opinion the Democrats
had nothing to fear.
Assemblyman Moore obtained
enough signatures to call his boxing
bill from committee and feels sure the
measure will be passed.
The House concurred in the Senate
resolution for an investigation into
the question of alleged .exorbitant tele-
phone charges and unjust discrimina-
tions by telephone companies of the
. State.
A concurrent resolution sSr joint
/ committee of Senators and Assembly
men to investigate the workings of
firemen's relief associations was also

OYSTERMEN FIGHT
SHELL FISH BILL
All Lines of Industry Oppose
Bill.
INJURY TO THE STATE
The Present Proposed Legislation
Is Looked Upon With Much
Distavor.

The bill introduced in the House of
Assembly by Assemblyman McDer- !!
mott, which it is said was drawn by
Senator Edge, of the Economy and !
Efficiency Commission, which has for !
its objects the abolishment OF the |
present Oyster Commission in the !
shore counties of the State, has
aroused a storm of opposition from
the baymen and tongers in those coun-
ties. The measure proposes to con-
solidate the State Bureau of Shell
Fisheries, the State Oyster Comm.s-
sion and the Oyster Commissions and
supT Tintendents of the districts of
Ocean, Monmouth and Atlantic Coun-
ties.
The new bill proposes Department
of Shell Fisheries and Commission
of Shell Fisheries. The Board of Shell
Fisheries is to consist of six members
not more than three of whom shall be
members of the same political party
and all of whom shall be actually en-
gagged in the shellfish industry as
planters or shippers or as owners or
| lessees of land on which shellfish are
produced. The measure provides that
the commission shall meet at the
State House, Trenton. The members
are to receive no compensation for
their services, but the State Treasurer,
upon the warran of the State Con-
troller, shall pay their necessary ex-
penses.
The baymen say the new bill en-
bodies1a false and pernicious economy
and o1ly half conceals desire to oust
the present commissioners. They also
say that they do not want the present
| commission abolished and that they
want resident of the county to look
after their interests and not person
10 direct the affairs of the oyster
growing business from Trenton. They
argue that no economy can be reached
| by the proposed bill, as the commits
| sion is empowered to spend money
! without limit under its provisions.
The present commission, they say, is
| limited to the expenditure of money
and the salaries of he members are
nearly paid by he revenue derived
from the leases which are given. They
also argue that the present commits
sion is giving satisfaction and it's
members are residents of the districts
to which they were appointed.
The baymen and tongers say what
| is wanted is an act to invalidate the
present method of leases and cause
| the leases to revert to the State. They
say that before the passage of the act
lands wherever there were natural
oysters beds Since the time that act
went in force, they assert, leases have
been granted to political pets; non
| residents, little boys and girls and
| ministers. They also assert that of
the splendid natural beds just above
the middle ground reach, one man and
! his family through the system Of leas-
ing, control 25 acres, while the bay
men have been excluded and have been
denied leases. They propose to fight
the measure after a conference with
Governor Fielder and have engaged
Judge w. C. French, of Camden, to
represent them and look after their
interests.
