FAMILY ON BARGE LOST
Captain, Wife and Child Meet Fate
on Jersey Shoals

Atlantic City. Feb. 12.-Sections of
Little Beach, near Barnegat, are re-
ported TO have been destroyed with a
loss of three lives and a heavy damage
to property in the coastal storm which
swept the jersey shore a few days ago.
From the Little Beach life saving sta
ton. at the head Of Little Egg Harbor
Inlet. twenty miles north of here, which
has been completely isolated since the
storm, there has come the first news
Of sea tragedy in which three were
lost and twenty nine others saved by
he heroism of the coast guards.
While the storm. which swept the
entire Atlantic coast. was at its height
last Friday three barges were torn
from o tow on its way down the coast
and werr driven at high speed before
the storm towards Great Egg Harbor
Inlet. A third barge, on which the
captain of the tow, his wife and child
were passengers. crashed into the
shoals some distance off the inlet. They
we're drowned in sight of the coast
guards, who were powerless to save
them.
Aboard the two barges driven through
the Inlet were twenty nine men, and
these were rescued by the Little Beach
station crew, which set out in life
boats aud braved mountainous seas in
their work of rescue.

FARMERS DENY
RIGHT TO STRIKE
Four Organizations Tell Con-
gress Labor Must Not
Starve Public
ECONOMICALLY UNS0UND

Washington, Feb. IL. -- Denial that
any group of organized workers pos
sessess an inherent right to strike is
contained in a memorial to Congress
formulated at conference here OF rep
rcsentatives of four large farmers or
ganizatious. the National Grange. the
American Farm Bureau Federation, the
Cotton States Board and the Associa
ton of State Farmers Union Prcsi
dents
In view of recent events and hap
penings." representatives of the four or
ganiza tions said it was agreed that the
attitude of the farmer membership OF
their associations on the right to strike
should be made plain to Congress and to
the country.
mo Right to StArvo People
Pointing out that the city population
of the nation is dependent on the farm
cr for food. and that interruption of
that supply can be brought about
through strikes of railroad or other
transportation unions, the memorial as
serts:
"Those who believe that labor has an
inherent right to organize strike be
lieve that such organizations have q
right to starve the people of the cities
TO death. on the one hand, and to de-
stroy the property of the farmers on
the other. No such right has ever eI-
listed and no such right exists now. 1t
is economically unsound and the Amer
lean people can and will work some
other method for the settlement of such
controversies. No set of men has ever
had the moral or legal right to destroy
property or cause suffering by con
spring together and the welfare of all
the people must ever remain superior
to that of any class or group of people.
Would Be Condemned
That would be the verdict of the
people if the farmers of the United
States should suddenly decide to go on
strike and refuse to supply the wants
and needs of those who are not in
position to produce food and clothing
for themselves. They would be con
demncd from one end of the country to
the other and the fact would be pointed
out that they, as the owners and tillers
of the land. had no right, either moral
or legal, to bring about such calamity.
IF the farmers who own and occupy
the land have no such moral or legal
right, then why should it be conceded
by any one that those who handle the
farmers products have a right to block
the transportation or industrial facil-
itics of the country and thus jcopardizC
the food and clothing supply of the
nation. If the farmers have no such
rights, those who handle their products
have no such rights

Doesn't Admire Mrs. Splker

To the Editor Of the Euentn0 Public Ledger:
Sir-In regards to the Spiker case,
would like to say it is hard TO predict
just what we would do If the same case
came home. But ! think if Miss Knowles
had gone to some place where she was
not known and posed as a. war widow
instead OF a war bride, her child would
have had a better chance. since that
seems to be her reason for coming to
America
Mrs. Spiker seems to lack spirit and
independence enough to make her own
living in the world She says If she
divorces her husband, it would lead
either to suicide or to her marrying a man
she did not love. Well. who knows,
maybe such a man might have enough
real love for his wife to be faithful to
her and protect her. Suicide would only
bring more sorrow on the family, cspe-
cially their child.
The war is blamed for conditions.
There has been enough blamed on the
war already, please don't use it to cover
up such a thing MRS A, p.

whether there will be a deputy solicitor

where only few moments before the
householder had complied with the re-
quest of the department? Years ago,
when this ordinance was enforced, +,
like thousands of others, faithfully COM
piled. only to be rewarded few moments
later by having the snow and ice forced
back again by the wagons-making the
cutters in the same condition. and then
out the cutters. although you have done
so several times that same day. Let the
automobiles and wagons remain in track
till they come to the right street, and
then the snow would not be forced back.
