LOOK OUT, OYSTERS!
THEY'RE AFTER YOU!
Fisherman Prepare for Trip to
Bay as Season Opens
Monday
Low PRICES ARE PREDICTED

Oystermen are overhauling their
boats along the Delaware river today
for the first catch on Monday, the
opening day of the oyster season.
The succulent bivalve, as we re-
porters always call it. is rood for food
all during months in which Is the let
ter "r," according to tradition. And
raises its family during the summer
months from May to August
With September close in the offipg,
more than 1000 fisherman are stor-
ing in quantity of grub today
for their trip to the beds and are
Strengthening their tackle for what
they say will be the best oyster season
in thirty years.
200 Boats Ready
Two hundred craft will leave for
Delaware bay tomorrow before sunup.
They'll scrape and dredge the oyster
beds for about a day. Monday they'll
come sailing home again.
BY Wednesday. plenty of oysters
will be in the shop around the corner
and Nom will be serving fries, stews,
fritters and oyster pies with what will
grow to seem reprehensible zeal.
The dealers along Dock street pre-
dict an unusually big season. They
are not certain how the prices will
run, but they suggest that they'll prob
ably run low enough because the catch
is destined to be so large.
King James once remarked that ''he
was very valiant man who first ven
tured on the eating of oysters" Either
oysters were more dangerous those days,
or men less venturesome.
Today the taste for oysters is uni
versal, and the demand for them ex-
treme. as can be attested by the marine
food dealers along the river front.
III. Johnston, author of Johnston on
Oysters and certain other authorities con
tepd that for oyster purposes August should
be- pronounced ''Aurgust," and spelled the
same way. thereby starting the open season
q month earlier.

Organization Candidate Takes
Stump and Addresses Three \
Meetings in West Phila.
SAYS HE WON'T HAVE BOSS

Judge Patterson pledged himself to
carry out every point in his platform at
three enthusiastic meetings last night in

man on his ticket to do the same for
me. I think have a right to expect
that"

clared, "to aspire to any Office he pleases

not a good American and Is an enemy
to the country.

Four Hundred Brave Wrath Of Jer.
sey City Chief

Jersey City, n. j., Aug. 30.-Four
hundred policemen of Jersey City have
braved the wrath of Chief Battersby
and have formed union affiliated with
the central labor body Of this city. They
will demand minimum wage of $4,000
year and an eight hour day, with
extra pay for overtime. The report OF
the formation of the union was denied
by Charles 0'Brien. director of public
safety, and Chief Battersby.
An attempt to organize a union was
made late in July and failed before the
threats of Chief Battersby to suspend
any man found engaging in the scheme.
The chief said the police was a quasi
military body and that a strike move
ment was subversive of discipline.
