RpHOBOTH sCHEME BROADENs.

nR. HIRAM r. BURTON, for four years a member
II Of Congress-, an almost lifelong resident of
Lewes and who knows every foot of Rehoboth
Beach almost as we'll as he knows every foot of his
yard has out IN condemnation OF the Black
stone Rehoboth Beach Land-Grab Bill, that now is in
committee the state We took pleasure yes
terday publishing his vehement protest against the
Land-Grab bin and his views what should be done
with the large tract OF State land the Atlantic
oceanfront from Lewes down 20 Fenwicks Island
In the main we agree with what he says, but i'm the
disposal OF the land the highest bidders do not
think should be offered in such large tracts as he
gets Our view Of the matter is that it should be
surveyed divided into building lots and sold if it be
deemed wise sell it, the building lot basis Such
a method disposition would give equal opportunity
TO the rich and the poor man and the rich woman
and the poor to share in the benefits of such
sale of the peoples property There thous-
ands OF and women in Delaware who could afford
to buy three or four such building lots going prices

acre plots the partition OF the land suggested by pr.
II would be manifestly unfair TO permit spec
ulators buy up the peoples land in such large
blocks sub-dvide IT, prices and then sell the
lots back the people at ten, fifteen twenty times
what the spectators might have paid to the people

If the syndicates wish TO in let it be equal

valid reason is there for permitting man Of arg,

III Every Evening in opposition to the Ten-iour
Day bill for women and girl wage-earners in Delaware
may think they prompted by disinteresed motive
Such is not the Corporate interest undories
every word that is written.
The Every Evening is owned by who is
prominent official Of the largest textile mills in
Delaware It employs hundreds of women and girls.
The plant is a magnificent one and in many respects,
the working conditions are good The Ten-Hour bill
pinches that corporation and, when that corporation
is pinchod. the Every Evening does the squeang
for IL.
We have taken the trouble TO obtain some informa-
ton relative to that textile plant which think the
public should know, that may place proper value
upon the Every Evenings opposition TO the Ten-Hour
bill In one of the departments between 80 and 40
girls are employed Our information is that after nav
ing worked fun day, those S5 or 40 girls last year
we're ordered to thrty-nve evenings and to work
from $40 until Q o'clock. For that night work each
OF those girls received 25 to % cents not an hour
but for the two hours and a half. In addition TO that
thoy were ordered to work. and did work. last Thanks
giving morning and, in the holiday season. on satur-
day afternoons instead of the evenings Some of those
girls receive as regular low as $f60 week,
for ten and one-Quarer hour day, less forty minutes
for rest periods twenty minutes in the middle of the
morning and twenty minutes i'm the middle of the
afternoon And let Il be borne in mind that the girls
we are discussing after they had worked full day and
had been ordered to back those thirtyfvc nights
were allowed only thirty minutes for supper.

worked IN 1912 approximately ono-Hth of their even

We also desire 20 call public attention to another
feature OF Dr. Burtons admirable Interview. is that
part Of this land that Robert Hinckley, the Washing
ton artist and of wealth, and his associates in
Palmer and Company after lays the north side
Of the route Of the canal that is to connect Rehoboth
Bay and Delaware Boy. Now, think Of the long-head-
edness Of this Palmer and Company scheme!
AS it unfolds one cannot help admiring It.
while condemning IT, For $1,000 the little Hinckley
syndicate only hve miles Of oceanfront the
riparian rights incidents thereto and 800 Of
side land but also the states riparian rights from
one-haif of the way from Cape Henopen TO the Mary
land line on the north bank Of the important canal
that soon will be built We do not think it neces-
sary particularly upon that phase Of the
proposed land-grab It carries its own argument to
the legislative and the public mind.
Another new development in connection with this
State land that the Of Rchoboth may lay claim
to twenty acres it, If that claim be based the
theory that twenty is to be kept by the town
for public and that It is not to from the town
to spectators for private profit do not think that
any Delawarean will object to such allowance OF
land being made to the town We certainly think It
would be a good thing to encourage our only seaside
resort Of consequence to that extent That is I'M
stance in which the land be set apart for public
use and pleasure and for private speculation and
profit We are well pleased that the town commits
soners are alive to their opportunities in the matter
now that the agitation in relation to these public lands

EDITORIAL OPINION
TRY III.

TRY 1T.
From the Wilmington Labor Herald
Judging from public opinion the
1O-hour bill will pass both houses at
Dover sailing. In fact it should
not have a dissenting vote Every
labor organization in the city has
endorsed the measure, claiming that
il is a good enough bill for a starter,
but will not be satisfied until the
women working in stores and in fac
tories have their S-hour day the same
as I'm the organized trades and in
shops where the union men operate.
There is no excuse whatever for a
proprietor of a dry goods store to
have his full force of clerks behind
the counter in the early hours of the
morning, when a few clerks would
be sufficient to wait on all custO-
mers. A representative of this paper
was In a large store at o'clock one
morning this week, and while he was
about the only customer in sight, yet
there were at least twenty clerks
standing behind the various counters.
Il might be a good plan for the pro-
prietors of Wilmington stores to ar
range two schedules Of prices, one the
lowest between the hours of A. NJ.
and a p. NJ. In the early morning add
10 per cent on all purchases, and
again add the 10 per cent after
O'Clock in the afternoon up to the
time they see fit to close the store
Under such a plan every employer
could easily grant all his employees
an hour day without reduction OF
pay and instead of working a hard
ship, would be of decided benefit
TO him. Try IT,
