ANOTHES OYSTERMAN
ASKS FOR The CAPTAIN
Oysterman AT WoolfOrd Wants To
Know Why The Little Choptank
Police Boat Is Not On The Job.

Mr.. Editor:
Will you allow me a small space
in your valuable paper to ask when
the Little Choptank River was open
ed to the gasoline boats to scrape
oysters day in and day out above Nc
Keels Point. You can stand on the
shore where l live and count from
two to ten boats scraping all day long
and as the authorities do not inter
fere we presume that the river has
been lawfully opened to boats of this
class although we had not heard
of it.
l have not seen the police boat UP
above McKeels Point but twice this
season If they keep on scraping W
the river there will not be any Oys-
tiers left for seed for they catch from
ten to forty bushels day as they
are scraping from McKeel's Point to
Gravevine every day, that is just as
far up as there are oysters.
1 not only know this to be true
but everyone who lives on the River
in this section, on both sides, also
know it. You see, MIR. Editor. when
the law is not enforced in one sec
ton it makes it hard to get it en-
forced in any section for the oyster
men ask why pick me out and make
me obey the law when you are let
ting a great many others do as they
please. People soon lose all respect
for law that is not enforced

Nj. Editor:
Just a little space in your valuable
paper in regards to the big question,
namely, oysters, as Mr. Robbins puts
| it and, indeed, it is a big question
| TO settle, one in which many are con-
| cerned.
Mr.. Robbins says he has present
ed this bill for the protection of the
oystermen, that the time for catching
oysters for sale shall start October
LIST instead of the different dates in
different sections as now exists.
agree with him and have advocated
for sOmetimea uniform opening date
and l think his action in this re-
spect meets with the approval of the
majority OF the Cystermen.
Now, Mr. Robbins, while you have
done this mach for the Oystermen
you still say you have dozen more;
this looks good on its face but as we
look at it your bill gives the oyster
men the privilege to catch oysters
for planting in the month of Septem-
ber Do you mean all of the oyster
men, those who you say are engaged
in the canning industry, crab indus
try. farming, box factories. etc, who
are keeping these industries during
the month of September, the month
when your law prohibits the taking
of oysters for the purpose of selling
them. but that they may be caught
for the purpose of bedding.
Now do you really think this
would be fair to the very class OF
people for whose benefit the law is
to be enacted namely. for those who
are helping to keep other industries
going. Your law permits those VINO
do not work in these industries to so
out during the month of September
and catch the cream of the oysters
and put them on beds until the
prices get higher. These men who
have money or credit enough not TO
have to work in the factories or on
the farms would get the chance OF
catching the oysters at the first OF
the season, while the poor man Vino
is compelled to work anywhere he
can in order to support his family
and must have his money every week
would be compelled to lose that part
Of the season when the oysters are
most plentiful, because he could not
sell them, and the only ones to bene-
fit would be the few who are able to
bed oysters. Then, again, don't you
think that this law with the bedding
feature in it, would have the effect
of taking some labor away from the
industries you name. What would
prevent me from hiring some fellow
to tong for me, paying his so much
per bushel for every bushel that he
took up for me?
l believe that portion of your bill
which names October LIST as the time
for the opening of the season is all
right but stop right there, let no
oysters being taken for planting bed
ding or any other purpose during the
month of September; let all of the
tongers go in on an equal footing
October 1St. If there are counties
that want this portion of the law, and
may l ask what is the object of this
feature; you cannot sell the oysters;
they cannot be used, then why per
nit them to be caught? Have you
ascertained the sentiment of the peo-
pie of the lower districts of Dorches-
ter county, where the oyster indus
try means everything to them, how
they stand on this bill? If not l
would suggest that you get in touch
with them.
Yours very truly,
OYSTERMAN.
