He cites another case. II had letter
from a close relative. 1t reads in
part:
yesterday at a CLIO. Union
meeting the officials railroaded strike
vote through, if the company does not
come across with a 15-cents-an-hour
increase in pay We are already out
of line with biggies of the industry
and an agreed upon 10-cent raise would
have satisfied everybody. It seems to
me that the union officials themselves
are the ones who want strikes, and not
the workers. At least, in our case
onlv few of the more radical element
showed any kind of enthusiasm. I'll
bet the union will soon demand an in
crease in membership dues"
The letter concludes:
"Let there be fearless, impartial in
vestigations by our Congress as to just
how democratic union proceedings are.
Maybe something like Gallup poll

help clear the air by indicating just

Mrs. Burriss, I'm obliged to you
for passing along this information.
I'd heard of DR.. Prytherch's dis.
covery, but I hadn't yet seen the
details. DR.. Prytherch is quite a
man with an oyster. He's been
worrying for many years about,
first, how to grow them with some
degree of uniformity and quality.
At his laboratories he's done an
excellent job of this. He's authority
for the statement that oyster-farm-
ing can be as profitable, if not
more so, as any other form of
farming.
After learning about growing
them, his headache then was in in
teresting the public in buying them
in sufficient quantities so that the
industry might expand.
And, as the article SAYS. one of
the things he had to overcome wa s
the undesire of the public to mess
around with them in the opening
process.
Now that Prytherch has figured
out a way so that the oyster prac-
tlcally pops his mouth open at YOU
and his meat is comparatively easv
to get to, there shouldn't be any
trouble about increasing sales.
