Maryland Oyster Dredgers
Plenty Tough Hombres

|oysters instead of using the long
tongs, carried one-pound cannon.
No one has ever estimated how
much damage they did.
Fired on Vessel
In 1888 there were about 700
dredge boats working in the bay
country and their captains and
crews were mostly drunk on
power and whisky. One Saturday
night in that year, for no ap'
parent reason, some Of them fired
on the passenger steamer Corsica.
The next Saturday night the
States boats, Governor McLane
and the Helen Baughman, slipped
up and surprised a fleet Of be
tween 40 and so dredge boats.
The Governor McLane was carry
ing a 12-pound naval Dahlgren
howitzer, which did no material
damage in the battle.
A three-hour battle was fought
that night in the Chester River,
the two boats putting to rout the
large fleet after the Governor Nc
Lane rammed and sunk the dredge
boats Julia Jones and j. c. Ma
honey, with an unknown loss OF
life.

Clustering in the Chesapeake
Bay country has always been
featured by trouble.
The recent flare-up in Charles

manner in which "the gentlemen

Shoremen style themselves, show
their dislike of a law forblddlng

Gently planted beds.
In the old days, back between
1870 and 1880, Rock Point, on
the Potomac, which is now Sc

toughest of the tough oyster
ports.

his Bay country as do few other

"There gathered the oyster

Virginia fleets, who didn't like
each other any too much So

one another when it came to
business"
Westerners may brag Of the
great number of homicides com

early days, but the toughest min

camp or cowboy play town, could
not have been much harder than
Rock Point.

Federal Alcohol Control Ad-
ministration today is scanning
additional wholesale liquor price
lists and investigating charges
that retailers in nearby Mary
land are reaping profits in some
cases Of more than 100 per cent.
Lists already in possession Of
the Administration bear out
charges made by Representative
John j. O'Connor that a whisky
trust" is gouging the public.
O'Connor. charged that stuff
merely labelled liquor is selling
for four times the cost of pure
whisky before prohibition.
Only Blends" Found
In the price lists submitted,
DR.. j. M. Doran, supervisor of
the distilled spirits code authority
reported he found only those for
blends" and "cut" brands, indi-
eating the distillers were keeping
all their bonded stuff for blend
ing purposes.
O'Connor charged distillers are
taking a staggering profit out
Of a situation that "leaves the
public holding the bag" He as
sailed the assertion of the Schen-
ley Products Company of New
York that pure whisky costs SIS
or SIG a gallon. He said:
what difference does that
make when it is stretched out
10 times. That makes the
pure whisky in every gallon
cost $1.5O or $1.6O. The rest
is raw alcohol and cOlOring."
Big Buyers Favored
The lists show the distillers
favor buyers of large quantities.
Purchase of 100 cases wins a

prices and promised to reduce
them as soon as possible. The
