Life
Johannes Christiaan de Marez Oyens came from the old Amsterdam banking family Oijens and worked as a government official. He acted between May 1, 1882 and May 1, 1885 as a trainee as head of the finance department in the Colonial Ministry and then as an administrator as head of the trade and industry department in the Ministry of Water Management, Trade and Industry. On August 1, 1901, he himself became Minister for Water Management, Trade and Industry (Minister van Waterstaat, Handel en Nijverheid) in the Kuyper cabinet and held this ministerial office until August 16, 1905 August 1905 as secretary of the Council of Ministers (Secretaris van de ministerraad) in the Kuyper cabinet. In January 1903 strikes broke out in the ports of Amsterdam. The employers then wanted to hire railway workers to unload the boats. A railway strike broke out across the country in protest. The employers finally gave in to the requirements. In response to these events, the Kuyper cabinet tabled bills banning public service strikes. The submission was not made by letter as usual, but by the ministers personally in the Second Chamber. However, there has been criticism and opposition to these proposals. A union committee decided to call a new strike in April 1903. However, this strike failed, partly because strikers were fired. The anti-strike laws were then swiftly passed by both chambers. As Minister for Water Management, Trade and Industry, he introduced numerous important laws in the period after the railway strike, such as the Mining Act (Mijnwet) 1903, the Telegraphy and Telephony Act (Telegraaf- en Telefoonwet) 1904 and the Motor Vehicle and Transport Act (Motor- en Rijwielwet) 1905 a.

He was also from December 8, 1910 until his death on August 11, 1911 chairman of the State Commission for the Organization of the Protestant Church in the Dutch East Indies . He died on August 11, 1911 while hiking in the mountains in the Garmisch district office .
