OYSTER DISPUTE.
STAND BY RETAILERS. OPPOSITION TO NEW SCHEME. (P.A.) DUNEDIN, this day. Anticipating the granting of the demands of the men working the oyster fleet, a meeting this morning of all Dunedin fish retailers, unanimously agreed not to accept oysters under the new system. The fleet is asking that a sack shall consist of (JO dozen oysters. Dunedin retailers, however, are adamant and they will not accept a sack other than weighing l!)01b. Dissatisfied with the service in the past, and fearing an influx of small oysters, from the grounds handy to the Bluff, they stipulated also that oysters must l>e clean, free from grit and of fair average quality.
Complaints of small oysters have led the Marine Department to enforce the regulation raising the size permitted to be taken from 2in to 2Jin.
