LABORER AT RAILROAD YARDSIS
VICTIM OF TAR-AND-FEATHERING
ATTACK, ACCUSED OF ''SCABBING'

zen grove west of town, beyond the
Riddle-PalmOre lumber yard. and is
employed as care-taker for the grove.
He has been in i'll health for several
months and has several small children
to care for His wife also works, be-
ing employed in a local cigar factory.
Work in the grove being slack he
took. the employment at the railroad
yards and worked on regardless Of the
acuteness in the labor situation.
Mrs. Sanders came by for her hus-
band with the car as usual Wednesday
afternoon and they had no thought of
any trouble. but proceeded toward
home past the filing station of c. B.
Skipper on the Tampa road. As they
took a turn to the right, the assail-
ants jumped mp on the running board
and pulled Sanders from the machine.
Mrs. Sanders displayed all the resist
ance possible and part of the attack
ing party held her while her husband
was being beaten. 1t is said that,
although the crowd had clubs and
sticks, the beating was done with
fists.
Sanders was htne taken to an empty
house 300 yards from the filling sta
ton, and daubed with tar and feath-
ers over his head, face and upper part
of his body.
~ in uninu
Mrs. Sanders went to the filling sta
ton and attempted to get the police.
She had difficulty in getting the line,
and says the proprietor of the station
used his efforts to dissuade her from
reporting it to the officers, saying it
wouldn't do any good.
Sheriff Logan and Deputy Purvis
are investigating the case, but Sand
ers, himself, shows no disposition to
prosecute or to assist in the prosecu-
ton. He says he can identify some of
the men and that he had seen them
previously at work for the railroad,
but is afraid to make any effort to
bring them to justice.
During the attack, he earnestly de-
clared his innocence of any deliber-
ate "scabbing," and promised not to
go back to work. However, his as
sailants. who were laughing and jolt-
ing. appeared to enjoy the proceeding
and paid no attention either to his
pleading and promises or to Mrs San
doris more spirited attitude of protest
and denunciatoin.
Mr.. Sanders injuries consist of
painful bruises, particularly on his
back and face.
The crowd or part of it is said to
have been driving a Willys-Knight car
and to have awaited their prospective
victim near the skipper filling sta
ton.
Sanders brotherin-law, Il man
named Chancey is also employed at
the yards and usually accompanied
him home He worked later than usual
Wednesday evening, and probably
thereby unconsciously escaped sharing
Sanders unpleasant experience.

The directors of the Florida Devel-
opment Board have voted to renew
efforts for homeseekers rates to the
southeastern states and to request CO.
operation of the Southern CONNER
cial Secretaries Association and 9th
er agencies in the southeastern
states.
A number of the chambers of COM
merce in Florida are giving the cam
paign support and the Florida Real
tors Association has appointed spe-
cial committee to cooperate.
The appeal to railroad officials for
homeseekers rates is being made on
the basis that the settlement of pro-
gressve farmers on unused farm lands
will be a great asset TO the roads in
producing freight tonnage. That is
the view taken by officials of roads in
western states where hOmeseekers
rates are in effect.
Florida has 35OO0,OOO acres of land
of which at least 2Oo00.000 acres can
be made suitable for farming. The
last government census report shows
6 .O46,691 acres Included in farm lands
of all descriptions, but only 1921, 271
acres of improved farm land.
The car lot shipments OF fruit and
vegetables forwarded from Jackson
Vile. High Springs and Hampton,
from September IL, 1921, to July l,
1922. totaled 70,S53 cars, and no doubt
movements in small lots and by wa
ter routes were fully 10 per cent
additional.

secured from E. d. Dow, traffic man
ager for the Florida Citrus Exchange
and from ether traffic experts, infor-
nation on which to estimate the rev.
enue accruing to carriers for their
proportion of the haul within the
state of Florida, which is based upon
selection of a representative fruit and
vegetable shipping point. This is
the customary procedure in rate cases
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Arcadia has been cOnsid-
cred an average rate point for citrus
fruit, the rate from Arcadia to Jack
sonville being 30 cents per so pound
box. On vegetables. Palmetto is con-
sidered Il representative point, the
rate under refrigeration being %
cents per package and under ventila-
ton 2O1s cents per package. Approx
imately 90 per cent of the citrus fruit
and possibly IS per cent of the vege-
tables move under refrigeration.
