Now that the snow has left the
Streets, let our street cleaning depart
ment get busy and give the streets a
thorough cleaning. There is nothing
that advertises a town better than
good clean streets and if Council will
adopt the plan in vogue in many pro-
gressive cities and towns, that of
having the streets systematically
cleaned every morning early after
sunrise, before traffic stirs, the streets
will be cleaner and the work done
easier and more expediately than
when the streets are lined with auto
mobiles and carriages. Citizens of
Smyrna would welcome better and
more systematic method of keeping

Oystermen and fishermen over on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland are op-
posing bills in the Maryland Legisla-
ture that would further burden them
in making a livelihood, says the Ches-
tertOwn Kent News: "Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the last year has
been a disastrous one in the seafood
business in Maryland, the Conserva-
ton Commission has presented to the
Legislature various tax measures sim
liar to those defeated at the last ses-
sion. The measures which are now
before the General Assembly provide
increased taxes on nearly every branch
of the seafood industry, and present a
fearful prospect to those who are en-
gagged in the various branches of the
crab and oyster industry in this State
Zone of the provisions of the pro-
posed measures increases the crab
bing license fee from 81 to $3.50; an
other provision doubles the inspection

makes it necessary to pay cents pei

If the demands of the convention Of
the United Mine Workers are not SIM
ply bluff and bluster, that organization
is riding rapidly to a fall" says the
Wilmington Morning News. "There
is big talk of general strike, though
a referendum will be held before the
proposed walk out of April l. Prob
ably the referendum will result in a
decision to strike unless the demands
are met, although it has been very
dull in some of the mining districts
and the men have been suffering.
"At the convention last year one
novel feature was the adoption of a
resolution calling for naturalization
of the mines. That subject then was
much alive in Great Britain and the
convention here echoed in part British
sentiments. This year the same reso-
luton would probably have been
adopted at indianapolis had not Presi-
dent Lewis cut short the meeting.
can outstanding feature of the con-
vention is the demand for a five-day
week and a six-hour day. This de-
mand was adopted in face of the pro-
tests of the leaders and the scale COM
mittee. The miners would have a
shorter working day at time when
European radical labor leaders are
declaring that the working day must
be longer. But even the Scale Com
mittee, supposed to be somewhat con-
servative for an organization of this
kind, called for the maintenance of the
existing scale of wages in the soft-coal
districts and for an increase of 20 per
cent and 81 for day workers in the an
thracite region. All of which was
tangled in fight between the factinos
of the miners.
"On such a preposterous program
the miners who have defed their lead
ers, intend to appeal for public sym.
pathy to help them win. They won't
get it. People will be unable to com
prehend why their wages should bt
advanced in the face of the genera
decline.
"There has been much talk of late
about a combination of farmers anC
labor unions. How would an advanc,
of twenty per cent in the wages o
Smyrna times., 1922-02-22

miners strike farmers who have seen
the selling price of their own staple
crops decline, in some instances al
most two-thirds?
"There will, of course, be confer
enccs and in the end the contending
forces may get together, though We
should think the operators would hesi-
tate about meeting to discuss demands
very much different from what they
think the miners should want.
"An Investigator in Baltimore de-
clared that of the SIC charged for a
ton of coal delivered in Baltimore
$7.72 goes to the workers as their
share of the cost. Not so many years
ago the cost of a ton of coal delivered
in Baltimre was 81. From these fig
ures it can be readily understood that
the general public, the consumers of
coal, will certainly not uphold the min
rers in their wild and erratic course
course should they insist upon their
demands and strike in a desperate at
tempt to enforce them"
Smyrna times., 1922-02-22

to accommodate productive labor. If
some capitalists would build such
homes, now very scarce and in great
demand, it would be an incentive for
Smyrna's population to grow and
would lend an encouragement for more
home industries. Smyrna needs to
awake to this fact and not only take
care of the housing proposition but be
ever on the alert to get new industries
worth while to locate here.
