4 MEANWHILE the oystermen whose boaS
'N' are at the outer ends of the fanks a
longing craft, stand and watch anxiously as the
oysters pile on the buy-boats deck. There's
always q chance that by the time they reach
the buying vessel, she will have taken aboard
all she can carry or all she needs When this
happens, the tonger has the difficult choice o1
attempting to run his boat elsewhere
and that requires more gasoline, or trying "a
sell his catch to q buy-boat the next day.
It is IN discussion of present oyster Market
ing conditions that advocates of oyster farming
as solution to the industrys ills advance one
of their strongest arguments With ground OF
his own which his oysters are growing, tho
planter may sell his crop on the basis Of few
samples. Then he need not harvest his crop
until he has definite buyer.
With decreasing oyster supply and numerous
difficulties in marketing the bivalves which ara
caught, it is little wonder the number Of IL
cenSed tongers in Virginia dropped from 1,778
in 1911 to 6760 in 1914, and from 5,063 n
1927 to around 1000 this year.
As logical solution as oyster farming seems
for the Chesapeake Bay country and practical
as it has proved itself elsewhere, there
is strong or at least effective opposition to Il
as State policy. The tongers themselves say
they are against abolition of public grounds be-
cause it would mean the taking away of their
waters where nature placed it. They regard
most Of the proposals with suspicion, for they
see in them plan by which "the big fellows" win
grab all the oysters" They disregard statis-
tical data which shows decline Of oyster pros
duction on the natural rocks, and dismiss va
rious and sundry proposals to bring back thu
industry with statement that's almost tradi-
tonal up and down the bay country:
GOD Almighty put those oysters out there.
Let 'em be and they'll take care of themselves.
Well the State Legislatures of Maryland and
Virginia hold the reins on oyster policies, and
the members of the law-making bodies say they
must vote as their constituents-and from the
water counties, they say, these are the oysteS-
men-want them to vote. Hence up to now;
no statute looking to the development Of oyster
beds by private enterprise has successfully me-
gotiated the course through the political OBJ
StructiOnS.
There is strong evidence, however, that tho
tOngerS themselves are not the most jealous
opponents of proposed new measures. There
is evidence that many of the ideas and argu--
ments advanced against oyster farming meas
ures were given first to the tongers by the water
county legislators themselves.
And there Is evidence that some of the
legislators receive their dictation in turn from
the storekeepers who do a thriving credit
business for supplies with the impoverished
tongers and collect high 40 per cent for
their generosity"

for oysters. Can't move em very fast either,
nowadays" he'll observe Then he'll peer
down into the little boat drawn up beside his
vessel and continue:
Don't look any too good, do they? Well,
I'll tell you, IN give you 40 cent bushel

The tonGer seeks to bargain:
Forty cent? Why. Cap'n, they're a-bringin'
60 n IS cent
Yeah? Well, Cap'n, I'm not payin' that; not
this kind of day, I'm not. Butch, I'll give

buyer. When at last the buy boat anchors, she
is the center of q bridge Of tong boats that
spread out beam to beam, on each side of her.
As many as 20 tong boats to a beam thus
lashed alongside Of a buy-boat is very common
1t is plainly buyers market out there when
work-weary tongers seek to realize wages" for
their labors. Often the buy-boat operators en-
gage in SHARP" if not downright dishonest,
practice. Here's an old one, for instance:
The buyer scans the skies weightily and, he
hopes, wisely
"Hmmmmm-going to be hot day tomorrow

the way it ought to be developed and they'll
take up the slack in oystermen by putting them
on their pay rolls" they argue.
Both schools of oyster culture proponents
point out further that for every two men af1oat
one man has occupation of one sort or another
ashore. They cite boat builders, shuckers, can
ners and purveyors of gasoline and other equip
ment which watermen use They insist their
plans would increase employment in the Chesa-
peake Bay country's shore communities and
hold the population which now seems deter
mined to seek livelihood inland.
At any rate, II public grounds in both Mary
land and Virginia abolished and pri-
vately developed oyster beds were substituted
for them, it would mean that total of 431 900
acres of underwater tracts would be "for rent"
Maryland has 215.0O0 acres of public
oyster ground, and Virginia maintains $4,000
acres. Thousands of these acres in both States
as already has been shown, are utterly barren,
and under present conditions benefit nobody.
The Legislatures Of the two States hold the
fate of the entire oyster industry.
Now glance here at the picture of
"oysterin'" :" from the tongers point of view.
Any citizen of either of these States may be-
come a tonger merely by taking out a longing
license for small annual fee. The States also
license dredgers to operate ON certain of their
respective public rocks. The average tonger's
boat is small craft of 30 or IS feet in length,
equipped with gasoline engine and, in many
cases, a tiny cuddy cabin forward in which her
crew of two may turn in. Athwart the boat
at about midships is a platform called Gull
board
When longing, the boats motor is shut off.
One man operates the scissors-like tongs and
brings the random catch to the surface where
he dumps it on the Gull board. The other
member of the crew sorts "culls the oysters,
throwing back those which are less than two
inches long, and returning to the rock also, all
empty oyster Shells The oyster season is the
cold season and plying this longing trade is
back-breaking hand-chapping labor.
And if the labor Is back-breaking the re-
turns of that work are heart-breaking.
At the end of a day, the tonger must sell
his catch, He can't hold his oysters until
the next day because buyers won't risk accept
ing "old" oysters. The sale of the days catch
generally is on the very waters from which the
oysters were taken. At the end of the day.
''buy-boat' sails through the feet of tongers.
This vessel is large and powerful, and when she
sweeps through the feet Of oystermen, the little
boats chase her for all they are worth. It is
important to be the first or at least among the
first tongers to reach the buy-boat, for then
one Is certain to get rid of his days catch.
And so the little tong boats jockey for position,
and when the big craft loses way, the tongers
begin falling in lines, one on each side OF the

i,IF IT lets one briefly look within people or

complaint by Edwin H. Little. who
lives in the 5000 block of Broadway.
Little, according to Sergeant Eo
Kruse, held $50 winning ticket, but
couldn't collect. He told his story
to Chief Morrissey and made a
sworn statement to Kruse. On the
basis of this statement, Sheaffer
issued Warrant.
Rahke, according to the state
ment, explained his refusal to pay
by saying:
"Our rules are that when the
Western Union baseball ticker
makes a mistake and corrects it on
the same day, we pay off on the
correction, but when the error is
not corrected the same day, We pay
off on the score on the tape"
Company Is Raided
Rahke, according to police, paid
off pool winners on the erroneous
8-5 score.
Late Thursday, police squads un-
der Sergeants KruSe and Kent Yoh
raided Rahke's@ Silent Salesman
Company at the North East street
address.
They arrested Rahke, who was
sitting at his desk working, and took
statements from employees who were
engaged in cutting, pasting and as
sorting baseball tickets.
The raiding squads also visited
the Speedway Bar, operated by
Charles Sims, at 254 Indiana ave-
nue., where Little said he bought
the winning ticket. Nineteen books
of baseball tickets were found, &C
cording to police, who ordered Sims
by phone to appear in court four
today at p. m.
Ordered Into Court
Rahke also was ordered to appear
before Sheaffer at that time on
charges Of operating lottery
scheme and gift enterprise and
keeping a room for pool selling.
Police asserted they believe the
raid was tipped off, because they
had expected to conf1scate at least
a two weeks supply of tickets and
found only old ones.
The raid on the Rahke headquar-
tiers was made at a time in the aft
ernoon when police expected payoffS
would be made. Dozens of curious
gathered while police carted away
pool tickets and punchboards and
one bystander complained:
II been playing pools for & long
time without winning and just was
going to collect. would get break,

Police said they found records
indicated that Rahke's payoff' had
been as high as $4,000 in one week,
