NEPTUNE ASSOCIATION
AFFILIATION EXPLAINED
President of Organization Declares
It Is Not a Labor Union, as
Was Published,

To the Editor of The Star:
NEW YORK CITY, May IL no.
ticed in a recent issue of your paper
an article in which you referred to
me as the leader Of a labor organ
ization and to the Neptune Associa-
tion as labor union.
The Neptune Association is not a
labor union. The members of this
organization are licensed under a
Federal statute to be officers of our
merchant vessels and many of them
were commissioned in the late war
by the U. S. Navy as lieutenants and
lieutenant commanders, and in many
cases they still hold these naval rat
lngs. According to Admiral A. T. Ma
han, who is the greatest recognized
authority on maritime affairs. going
to sea is neither a calling or a trade,
but profession. He also said.' in
speaking of the men who go to sea,
they are a race apart. neither them
selves or their calling thoroughly I'M
derstood." The more I come in con-
tact with people ashore. the more
realize this to be fact. An officer
on a merchant ship, cannot be cIasSed
as laborer any more than a doctor
or a lawyer.
Quoting from our constitution and
bylaws. the objects of this associa-
ton are as follows:
ITO enable them to demand and
obtain voice in the making of the
laws and regulations under which
they are governed; to improve the
condition and status of the profession
professional matters. and at the same
time to promote cordial relations
with employers"

SUCCESS OF AMERICAN
INSTITUTIONS LAID TO
COLLEGES BY COOLIDGE
BY tile Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN. Conn, May O.
american institutions have come
from the people. but they have
come from people directed. led
and inspired by the ideals which
came from the colleges. Vice Pres
ident Coolidge declared before a
meeting of the New England Asso-
citation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools here today.
That those who founded these
seats of learning were taking
wise course is demonstrated both
by reason and experience" the
Vice President said.
No one can examine the history
of America calmly and candidly
and escape the conclusion that in
its main features it has been a sue
cess. The foundation and support
of that success mad it's main
source. directly and indirectly, in
the learning. the piety and the rev.
erence which American colleges
had been established to promote.
They have been the great builders
of character.
IF the economic life, of the ma
tion be examined it will be found
to be largely under the direction
of those who have had liberal
education. There is here and there
genius of invention or organiza-
exception. But if these around
him are taken into consideration,
If his subordinates are examined,
If the means by which he accom-
plishes his ends are taken into ac-
count, there is no doubt of it's ap-
pearing that he uses in others
what he does not possess himself"

LOUISIANA BEGINS
FEEDING REFUGEES
Three Zones Established for
Relief of 1000 in Con-
c0rdia Parish.

By the Assoca ted Press.
NATCHEZ. Miss, May 6.-Under the
direction of Adjt. Gen. G. l.. Toombs,
who was sent to the inundated areas
adjacent to the Weecama crevasse
above Ferriday by Gov. John NJ. Par
ker of Louisiana, measures were be-
gun today for the relief of food suf-
terers in Concordia parish.
Following survey of the parish
and a conference with parish officials.
it was announced by Gen. Toombs
that three food zones woul1 be mi
mediately established in Concordia
parish under direction of officers of
the Louisiana National Guard. The
distribution of food is expected to
begin tomorrow.
1t was stated that the food zones
would be established at Ferriday,
where a barge of supplies will be sta
toned; at Vidalia and at Forrest. In
addition to this, a zone with Sicily
Island as base will be provided for
food sufferers of the northern part
of Catahoula and Goncordia parishes
There is still railroad co,nmunica-
ton between Sicily Island and Mon
roe. and supplies for this zone can
be routed by rail. Food stocks for
the Vidalia, Ferriday and Forrest
zones will be secured in NatcheZ and
ioaded on barges which will be pro-
vided by the government fleet here.
1000 to he Aided.
1t is estimated that 1000 people in
the three areas must be provided for.
Notification is being given the
planters of Concordia to arrange for
the registration of their tenants in
order that the distribution of food
may be started with the least pos
sible delay.
The relief plan was fully approved
by parish officials, planters and other
citizens, who state that if the parish
should be entirely depopulated by the
people being compelled to go to con-
centration camps to obtain food, it
would have meant the economic ruin
of the inundated section. The farm
ers of the flooded district are anxious
to start their crops as soon as posi-
BILE and with labor disorganiZed and
scattered the rehabilitation of the
territory would have been hopeless
they said.
Mississippi Relief Work.
The NatcheZ flood relief commit
tee has received notifica ton from the
west Mississippi flood relief commits
sion that funds have been made
available by the national Red Cross
for operation until such a time as
it shall be considered expedient to
make national appeal.
