WASHINGTON. Jan. 23-Where do
oysters come from? Let's take a trip
down TO the gulf coast and visit some
oyster n shrimp canneries.
Shocking is the word used for the
opening of the oyster shells and TAX
ing out the meat, and it is a job
which IS done to a great extent by
the boatmen's families.
The boat. loaded with oysters, comes
in to the pier. 1t is only 4 o'clock
in the morning, but oysters do not
keep, and in q short time a group
Of women and babies and children
OF all ages appear from a row Of bar-
racks and shacks behind the cannery.
These are the workers coming from
their camp. They break apart and
open the shells with knives II begin
to fill their cups with oyster meat.
They stand at their work, swaying
back and forth with a rhythm which
apparently enables them to work long
hours and still keep up speed. They
bend farther and farther ove to reach
the oysters at the bottom of the cars.
If shrimp picking is going on, the

to make their shells less difficult to
open, and spread on wire trays on
top of the empty oyster cars or on
tables. The workers break off the
heads with one hand and squeeze out
the flesh with the other.
Strong OdOr Arises
A strong odor arises. and we no
tfce that children and women are
wearing gloves and dipping their
hands in a tub of alum water, and
hat even with this protection the
hands of some Of them are bleeding.
There IS an acid in the head Of the
shrimp and also q sharp thorn which
is likely to run into the hand and
break of.
The floor is wet and slippery and
strewn with piles Of shrimp heads or
oyster shells, and over this floor the
babies crawl and the children who are
too young to work run about and play.
A t~wo-year-old has had his hand
crushed. falling in the path Of the
oyster cars, and others show cuts re-
ceived from falling among the shells.
There is no one back in the camp to
leave these toddlers with.
The workers living in the camps
have been brought here from the
North for the winter and every one
in the company camp is expected to
work. Perhaps however, the babies
may be left in care Of children just a
little older.
Hands Too Tender
The mother Of a girl Of 9 tells us
that this child hasn't gone to work
because her little hands are too
tender"
A big sister explains apOlogetically
that her 7-year-old brother does not
work because he cannot reach up to
the car to shuck.
A child Of II looks at US wonder
ingly, since visitors in this ~out-of-the-

way place are rare, and she asks US;

way place are rare, and she asks US:
Don't you ever shuck?"
Child labor seems to be taken for
granted. In some of the canneries a
State inspector may be seen at long
intervals, but his coming can usually
be detected and the children sem to
hide.
In most Of the cannery villages the
school terms are short and the school
attendance law not well enforced.
Whenever a boatload Of oysters comes
in the children are at the cannery,
though on days when NJ boat ar
rives they may perhaps go to school.

33 counts against II. J. Hagen OF
Seattle. one of a number OF de
PENDANTS alleged to he involved In

Arguments for the defense were
presented by Judge w. S. Lauder
and Charles Wolfe of Wahpeton,
and former Governor John Burke
Acknowledgement George Shafer
of Bismarck and William c. Green
of Fargo appeared as attorneys for
the state.
In the arguments OF defense it
was claimed that the statute gives
the Attorney-General no right to
go before grand juries in any in
vestigation except that arising
from prohibition cases. 1t was
sought by testimony to show that
former Attorney-General and
several of his assistants had ap-
peared before the grand jury in the
present case with testimony.
Other contentious were that tn e
manner of obtaining the indict-
ments were improper and that the
appearance of witness, Arthur
lie Sueur was likewise improper
1t is likely that Judge Mckenna
will take the matter under advise
ment for several days.

RANCHER IS
HELD LIABLE

against Carl Sieverts, Dunn County
rancher, in the federal court, ver-
dict being directed after most OF
yesterday and this morning was
consumed in evidence and in argu-
ment on the law.
The defense claimed that the
notes purporting to have been is
sued originally to South Dakota
bank were not valid obligations, the
plaintiff claiming that the Sioux
Falls trust company was an inno-
cent holder of the negotiable notes.
Judge Miller directed verdict,
holding that the weight Of author

tiff. The case, he said, was brought
under North Dakota statute and

preme court in a similar case was
held by him to be the proper rule
in the case before him.
