CALLS SEAMEN DE-
GRADED

Washington. - Changed conditions
at sea during 200 years have brought
the seamen down from "the most dig
nifed of laboring men until he is now
at the mudsills of society,"" declared
Andrew Furuseth, president of the
International Seamen's Union, before
house committee in opposing modi-
fcation of the application of the sea-
mems act to great lakes shipping.
Amy reductions of standards in
working conditions, he said, would
only serve international shipping in
terests in their attempts to destroy
the American merchant marine.

The United Sts tes isn't the only
country that has homesteaders-tho
enterprisng pioneers who leave thick
ly populated districts and take their
families into virgin territory to create
homes for themselves. The Philippine
islands have thousands Of thrifty home
steaders.

province. Mindanao, P. /. Five years
ago he was cab driver working for
low wages at Cebu, thickly populated
city. He went into the then wilderness
of Mindanao, planted hemp and cocoa
nuts paid for his land and has be-
come wealthy. Thousands Of similar
instances could be cited. One Mindanao
homesteader Is worth 100000.

The Philippine government is encOur-
aging the immigration OF Filipinos
from the thickly populated sections In
to Mindaneo This Is the second larg-
est 1f the islands Of the archipelago.
1t Is still sparsely settled, although
it is one Of the richest and most pro-
ductive islands In the world. Many
Americans have established planta-
tions there and become rich.
Filipinos are using the stories OF the
many successful Filipino homesteaders
as an argument for independence. They
make the point that people that can
go out into tropical wilderness with
no capital save their patience, perse-
verence and energy and win homes or
themselves, have the necessary stamina
to run their own affairs.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Automobile
J race crowds sure single out their
heroes 1t will be interesting to note
the manner In which the crowd that
will witness the Ninth International
500-mile race, to be held at the Indi-
annapolis Motor Speedway. Monday,
May 30, acts toward Ralph DePalma
and Dario Resta, speed champion in
1916
Each driver has won an Interna-
tional race at Indianapolis and both
have pushed their mounts TO the pits
after their cars had broken up, with
victory within their reach. Their
achievements have been parallel in
many ways-but the crowds have per-
formed differently for each.
Ralph DePalma became a hero In
defeat at Indianapolis in 1912. With
two laps to go connecting rod on his
flying Mercedes broke, tossed him out
OF the race and literally knocked the
$4,000 purse out of mis- hands. De-
Palma jumped out of his car and
pushed it down the home stretch to

thousands When Joe Dawson, in No

him on to victory-and kept on push

Dawson won the race-but Ralph De-
Palma was the hero of the day
That's that. But with Resta it was
different. Resto and Johnny Aitken
were providing the major portion OF
the thrills in the Harkness trophy race
at Sheepshead Bay in 1915. First
Aitken would be ahead and then Resta
would come storming down the

MINERS WAGES WILL
STAND

Indianapolis. Miners wages will
not be reduced, said John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers,
who pointed out that the miners are
working under wage scale fixed by
the United States bituminous coal
commission, and that this agreement
does not expire until March 81, next
year. The commission was created by
the president and functioned under
government authority.
Users of coal should not delay
purchase upon the theory or with the
hope that any reduction of wages
will be acceptable to the mine work
ers. Statements to the contrary have
no basis in fact" said President Le-
wis.
