The procession was composed of white and black, men and women, many of them drnnk, and as they reeled through the streets presented a rather disgusting spectacle. The strikers say that the packers of oysters take advantage of them in measurement, requiring them to open about two gallons for which they receive pay but for one. This is a hard case, no doubt, and it is a pity the shuckers cannot be protected and thus prevent such spectacles as that witnessed on Monday.frnpfji fin Inn pm I Inn I.'ml unrl nravml fnr
