MYERS THANKS SUPPORTERS.
Defends Crowfoot Provision Of Orig
inal Bill—Says Foreign Influ
ence Was Responsible
For its Defeat.
Business Men’s League,
Newport, Ark.
Gentlemen: —
I beg leave to thank you for the
interest taken in behalf of my bill
which seeks to protect to our people
an industry that annually will yield
from one to two millions of dollars.
A few pearl buyers and shell buyers
from the north have succeeded in
practically killing the bill by allowing
the use of “Crowfoot.” Now as you
know there are many sufldcient means
of catching mussels without the crow
foot which actually destroys ten tons
for every ton landed. And while it
took many years for the mussels to
oover the bars, the crowfoot will in
two or three years destroy them all;
then our factories and shellers will all
j be out of a job. For once the mus
sels are destroyed many years will be
required for them to be replaced. If
we could force out the crowfoot the
supply would not only be ample but
would last for years. 1 do not seek to
injure the laboring man but to pre
vent the destruction of the Goose that
lays the Golden egg. I send you copy
of Gazette in which I have defended
the bill before the Senate Committee,
but so much pressure was brought to
bear upon the Committee, there only
being three of that Committee pres
ent, by the Northern button factories,
that the crowfoot was allowed to re
main. You can easily see why a few
t:hell buyers and pearl buyers oppose
the bill, as they are not tax payers
and citizens. While to stop the crow
foot would be a loss to the Northern
buyers and a slight inconvenience of
the shell hunters yet the continued
use of the crowfoot means the death
kneli of a great industry for the state.
Yours truly,
(Signed) J. H. Myers.
