Judge OF Juvenile
Court Appointed

William S. Prickett was last
week appointed Judge of the Juv-
emile Court of Wilmington by
Governor Miller.
Mr.. Prickett is a native Of New
Jersey, but has been practicing
law in Wilmington for 25 years. He
lives at 1907 West Fourteenth
street. The new judge is married
and has three children, a boy and
two girls. His son, William P.
Prickett, is a law student at
Princeton and will graduate this
year, after which he will study at
Oxford.
The position of judge of the Juv-
emile Court, which does not carry
salary, was first filled by ]. w.
Lattomus, who resigned the office
on December l, last, after serving
for three and half years. Since
that time a number of cases have
accumulated on the docket, while
Chief Probation Officer Farra and
his assistants have settled as
many as possible Of them out of
Court.
1t is probable that things will
be gotten in shape so that ses-
sion of the court can be held this
week. The new judge must be
sworn into office by the Superior
Court, and then he must recon-
mend person whom he considers
fit for the position of chief pro-
baton officer. The appointment
of that officer is to be made by the
Superior Court. E. Ross Farra,
the present incumbent of the Of
flee, is candidate ror reappoint-
ment. He has, in the opinion of
members of the Juvenile Court
Association, filled the office very
acceptably and his reappoint-
ment is favored by them.
Though to accept this position
means a great sacrifice of time

CLOTHING WORKERS STRIKE.
SEEMS PROBABLE


A general strike of all the clothing
workers that will tie up the entire
clothing industry is expected very
shortly as clothing makers believe
this is the only method by which they
can better their conditions.
Frank Rosenblum of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of America
declares that employees of Hirsch,
Wickwire & Co. have brought to the
Office of the organization pay en-
velopes showing 81 and S. as whole
weeks earnings and that what is true
of this firm is equally true of the
others.
'"The so-called welfare workers of
the Manufacturers assn are very
busy trying to keep the workers
away from the union and doing gen
eral spy work." Rosenblum declared,
"but so far they have failed as the
people pay little attention to them
and often point them out to the union
organizers SO that they may know
them.
"The organization has achieved a
minor victory for the people of Fred
Kaufman & Co. The wages of the
collar makers were reduced there
and when the people protested
against the reduction two of them
were discharged. The matter was
taken up by the organization and
committee appointed with the result
that the two men were reinstated and
the price restored.
'"The people are demanding Hv-
ing wage, a 48-hour week and decent
treatment, and unless the bosses heed
these demands general strike of the
tailors in the city of Chicago seems
inevitable"

.L0GANSP0RT ROAD
NEEDS IMP ROWING
Carl G. Fisher in Letter to
SpauIding Advises Organ
lied Effort.

That there is urgent need Of organ
lied effort for the purpose Of improv-
ing the Michigan road between South
Bend and LOganspOrt is the keynote
OF letter received Tuesday by Bust
ness Mgr Spaulding of the Chamber
of Commerce from Carl c. Fisher,
Indianapolis highway man and one Of
the principal agitators for better roads
all over the country. Sometime ago
Mr. Spaulding wrote Mr.. Fisher with
reference to the proposed organization
of a Michigan Road association OF In
diana, which had been suggested by
road boosters of LOgansport South
Bend men were anxious to learn the
attitude that might be taken by the
Dixie Highway association upon pro-
posed minor organization.
Mr.. Fishers reply is explanatory of
the conditions that exist along the
Michigan road between South Bend
and LOganspOrt and sums up the SEN
timent of Indiana highway men to-
ward the Improvement of the Michi-
gan road and the ned for its better
ment. The reply follows:
Replying TO yours of the eighth: |
see no reason why you should not pro-
coed with your organization and espe-
cially if it will do any good toward
fixing up the Michigan road north of
LOganspOr'. While the Michigan road
from indianapolis to South Bend has
been taken as the Dixie Highway Cut
Off il is in such bad shape now that
it would be impossible to think of rout-
ing travel over it. / recently went to
South Bend over this road and in
order TO avoid the road between South
Bend and Indianapolis in returning l
made a detour of $50 miles and be
lieve l would be willing 10 do il again
rather than go over the road north Of
LOganspOrt.
This Michigan road has wonderful
possibilities and means a great deal
TO South Bend if it can only be
Strengthened up. The entire autOmO-
bile fraternity of central Indiana is
well acquainted with the terrOrs of
the Michigan road and you have no
idea what an enormous amount of
travel is diverted, both east and west
in order 10 avoid it, Personally i am
in hopes that you may be successful
in any undertaking you may start that
Will tend 20 get this road improved.
Yours very truly,
CARL G.. FISHER"
1t is probable that the topic Will be
discussed at a meeting of the Cham
Der Of Commerce sometime this week.
Road boosters here feel that by join
ing forces with the Indiana assOcia-
ton for the improvement of the Mich
igan road that their efforts will bear
fruit quicker The object is - get
the road into passable and attractive
condition in order that tourists and
motorists will be inclined to take this
route rather than fear to brave it's
dangers and discOmfOrts.
