bars came up for trial in the Cir
Court for Talbot County today.
The Shellfish Commission, ins
answer, assailed the constitutional
ty of the Shepherd law, under which
the proceedings were authorized.
A demurrer was filed to this part
of the answer and tie demurrer was
sustained. The case was then tried
on it's merits as to whether the bars
in question were natural bars. Aft
er testimony was taken, Mr.. Maltbie
asked that the case be taken from
the jury on the ground that prior to
the Act of 1906, known as tue Ham
mond law, a part of these bars had
been leased to Mr.. Dodson aud eight
others, under the old Five-Acre law,
and by the terms of the Act of 1906
they were reserved to the com mission
for leasing and could not be consid-
cred as natural bars.
The evidence showed that while
the bars had been leased under the
Five-Acre law, the lessees had forfeit
ted their title to them by failure to
comply with the provision of the Act
of 1906, and therefore the bars had
reverted to the State.
The contention of the Shellfish
Commission was that the bars had
been leased under the old law. II
they were allowed to revert to the
State they could be leased again
and would not be held as public
grounds.
The Court refused these prayers
and the Commission asked to take
the case to the Court of Appeals for
review. After the argument, the
jury rendered a verdict in favor of
the petitioners.

Many UnempIoYed Men.

\ serious problem also confronts the
authorities Of the Canal Zone and the
Republic of Panama because of the
increasing number Of unemployed men.
Within the last year many thou
sands of unskillcd canal workers have
hccn thrown upon their own resources
lccause there was no more work for
item. In almost every case they have
saved no money for rainy day. The
result has been an increasing amount

into the line of petty burglarics.
For unskilled labor there is now alb
solutely no demand either on the 18th

public or the ncighboring republics of
Central ana South America. The pro-
posed government railway i'm the
Province of Chrique is expected ga
afford some relief. but the hope of it's
early start is not at all bright here.
There is little or NO other Constrllc-
ton work in progress. Public work.
with the exception of the National
Opposition, practically is at stand J.
still. ON the zone the roads are beinl
constructed by the prisoners in tho

CUT IN WAGES
IN CANAL ZONE
New Scale will Result In Organ
ization of Trades Council

Panama. April lS.-Much opposition
to reductions i'm the wage scale ot
skilled labor ON the canal has arisen
since the new wage scale was promul-
gated in conformity with an executive
order issued by President Wilson on
February .. To become operative ON
April /. when the permanent govern
ment of the Panama Canal went into
effect.
The skilled workers have been in
communication with the parent unions
i'm United states with the result that
the Metal Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor has in
structcd the unions on the lsthmus to
Immediately begin the formation of a
Metal Trades Council i'm Panama. Sew
eral meetings already have been held
at which strong opposition to any re-
duction was voiced.
Under the terms of the Adamson act
establishing the permanent govern
ment of the Panama Canal it is pro-
vided that no one on the canal force
shall be paid more than % per cent in
excess of the average wage for similar
work paid i'm the United States. In
cundrmity with this provision, cot
George w. Cocktails, governor of the
Panama Canal issued a circular es-
tablishing a new wage scale. This
provided for considerable reductions
all along the line.
1t IS understood here that Col. Goc.
that's personally favors the continual
ton of the present wage scale until the
ended. II this is done the reductions
viii become effective gradually and not
until after the construction of the ca
nal has been fully completed.

according To labor leaders here, t.
make Lse of the strike weapon to force
the continuation of the present scale
but only in an emergency of such a
character as To make it's use a necos-
sity.
1t is not anticipated that any oppo-
sitiou To the now wage scale will come
from the numerous clerks ard other
unorganized employees on the canal

p OF ACRES OF UNTITLED LAND
OPENING OF VAST FIELD WOULD
GREATLY ENRICH STATE,
SAYS M. a. c. DEAN

Lansing, Mich, April 1S.-According
to report issued by Professor Robert
:. Shaw dean of agriculture at NJ. A.
G., Michigan has l7,S36,3S6 acres Of
unimproved land a large part Of which
can by proper methods, be made avail
able for farming.
The millions of acres not included
in farms are ass per cent of the total
land area of Michigan.
Offers Field for Settlers.
1t is declared by the dean that the
opening up of this virgin territory
will offer an enticing field Cor the set
tier, and in the future will triple the
states yield of farm produce.
Dean Shaw attributes the slow de-
velopment of Michigan's agricultural
Industry To the fact that it was origi
nally timbcrcd country. According
To the data which has been gathered
by Statistician employed by the coll
lcSc during the last few months, the
1919 per cent Of land not now i'm farms,
exists largely as land covered with
standing timber. cut-over timber lands,
sand areas and land as yet unreclaim-
cd by drainage.
Michigan Ranks Sixth.
According To the statistics, Michigan
ranks sixth among other states i'm the
amount of swamp lands possessed,
having total of 100000 acres of re-
claimable, tillable swamp and over
How lands. Most of these lands. ac-
cording to the dean. are particularly
adapted to the raising of specialized
crops such as peppermint, onions and
all sorts of root vegetables.

drainage which are practically equal to
