Fruit and Vegetables
SHIPMENTS Increase

Washington, Mar. Shipments
of fruits and vegetables in great
quantities by retail and wholesale
merchants to all sections of the
United States is steadily increasing
according to reports made to General
Superintendent w. II. Eiddcll, of the
Railway Mail Service.
AS an illustra ton of the use to
which the parcel post is being put by
merchants. it was asserted by Super
intendent Riddell that recently an en-
tire freight car was loaded with in
dividual cases Of asparagus and
shipped by parcel post rates. Each
parcel, however, cOnformed to weight
regulations. and it would not have
been possible to ship the car load as
a bulk, it was explained
Department officials said that there
appeared to be no reason why sIffl-
Gent numbers of crates to make up
half car or car load, cannot be
shipped in the future as parcel post.
Parcels OF a perishable nature, how
ever, which are likely to spoil with
in the time reasonably required for
transportation and delivery. will not,
it was said. be accepted for mailing.
The rates for parcel post matter de-
pend upon the zone to which shipped
and the weight Of the package.

While Mr. Wentworth has other in

poultry raising his speciality. For the
past Is years he has been expert

! making a deep study of the subject
and under the Hogan system Of solcc-

$40 eggs each for last year. \ strict

Lewis Interprets !
Demands Miners
In New Wage Pact

lndlanapo polls, Ind. March 24-(By
The Associated Press)-Presiden
John l.. Lewis. of the United Mine
Workers of America, today gave his
Interpretation Of the miners demand
| for six-hour day, f1ve-da week, be-
ing a part of any new wage agree
ment affecting the soft coal industry.
In formal statement he said:
There has been so much mis-
| understanding among the people as
to the real meaning of the position Of
| the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
! ca with regard to the proposed six
hour day and five-day week that 1
believe something should be said that
would set the public right on the
subject. 1t has been charged by coal
operators that the miners are de-
handing more pay for less work.
, The principle of the shorter work
day does not mean anything of the
kind. They do not ask for the six
hour day as the maximum but they
do ask that they be given reasonable
assurance that they will have rea-
sonably steady employment six hours
a day throughout the year.
| Under present conditions the min
ers work eight hours a day only a
small part of the time each year. In
1921 they were employed only about
40 per cent. of full time and were idle
so per cent. Of the time. They were
employed on IN average of about 125
days in 1921, out Of the 800 or more
work days of the year. They cannot
make living for their families under
such conditions. Last year they
earned an average of approximately
$500 per man.
| "TheS bituminous mines Of the
country have A capacity. of 700, coo. =
| 600 to S00,0O0.0OO tons a year. In
normal times the demand is for APP
proXimately 500,000,0OO tons year.
If the miners had reasonably steady
employment they could and would
easily produce in six-hour day
enough coal to fill every possible re-
quircment. If it can be done in a
six-hour day. why should miners be
required to work eight hours day
only a part of the time?
MANY years ago miners were COM
PEELED to work ten. twelve or more
hours day, and when they made
their fight for a shortening of. the
work day to eight hours they were
met with the same Kind of fight they
are now facing in their request for a
six-hour day. But they won, and
the country has had all the coal it
could use ever since.
"'The six hour dav is not q scare
crow. nor is it menace TO the coun-
try, as some employers would have
us believe. 1T is simply humane
principle"
