The tongers' organization, with a membership of approximately 400, was to meet tonight and members predicted that resolutions condemning the act of Ilawless persons in firing on the State patrol boat Katle would be adopted. It was also anticipated by many citizens that Gov. Byrd would be requested to withdraw troops from the _section. Tongers in Middlesex and Mathews County were reported in sympathy with the Gloucester watermen. Sheriff T. E. Hall of Gloucester, com- menting on the request from the gov- ernor that he appoint deputies to as- sist the Natlonal Guardsmen, stated that he considered this unnecessary. The sheriff sald he was making every effort to determine the parties re- sponsible for the firing upon the patrol boat Katie and that he had several clues. He expressed the belief that there was no need for soldlers, declar- ing that any depredations on the oyster grounds leased to Darling, which have been the subject of contention with independent tongers, would have to be made at night and that “a man Guard force ordered to the scene, left lenll this morning on the steamer oodic.

' TER COURT HOUSE, Va., —Citizens of Gloucester v adopted a policy of patient wait- |ing today as National Guardsmen pa- | troled the marshes near Severn Wharf, jand steamers loaded with soldiers cruised the waters of Mobjack Bay to prevent a renewal of the “oyster war." | Reports traveled rapidly about the |const settlements and there was an undertone of excited interest in every- | thing dealing with the situation. Mem- | bers of the Gloucester Seafood Workers Association, independent tongers’ organ- ization, have requested Judge Clagett B. Jones to render a decision on the {motion to dissolve an injunction re- straining them from interfering with Frank W. Darling, Hampton packer, in | the operation of leased oyster grounds, it was reported today. Charges Leases Illegal. The injunction was granted to Darl- ing in Norfolk and the motion for dis- | solution was argued several days ago before Judge Jones, the tongers holding the leases illegal.
