When Mrs. Passwaters, wife of Ed
ward Passwaters, track foreman of
the Delaware Division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, heard the pitiful
cry of child, which apparently came
from the railroad tracks which run in
front of her home at Houston, few
days ago, she Immediately left her
work in the kitchen and ran from the
house towards the tracks. Before her
eyes she spied a little speck of white
lying between the rails. As she ran
towards the little figure, she discover
ed it to be two-year-old Harvey Mar
vel, Jr., son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey
Marvel, neighbors. The child was
crying Justify. Glancing up the track,
Mrs. Passwaters saw a train coming
down the track at a fast speed only
several hundred yards away. She
picked up the tot and removed him to
safety Just as the heavy train rolled
past. It is doubtful if the train crew
would have seen him on the track in
time to bring the train to a stop, Ow-
ing to the distance and speed. Mrs.
-Passwaters carried the boy to his
father, who was working in a nearby
field, adjoining railroad property. She
received thanks from the entire fam
lily for her timely action. Further in
vestigation developed that little Har-
vey, Jr., had been left in care of an
older brother, but had slipped away
and attempted to follow his father
when he started out in the field to go
to work. Marvel was unaware Of the
child following him and hurrying
along, soon left Harvey behind, when
he became lost. Wandering around
he crawled on the track too tired to
go any further, and becoming fright
ened by the rumble of the oncoming
train, started to cry. Mrs. Passwat-
eFs, who is a real safety-frst advocate
as we'll as a lover Of children, thought
it best to find out why the child was
crying, as she knew a train was due
The heroic work of Mrs. Passwaters
will be brought to- the attention Of
the railroad authorities.

Considerable fruit from down the
Delaware-Maryland Peninsula and
long freight trains stop at the big ice
plant along the north track to be
iced. The big ice plant has been a
busy spot ever since it was opened
and many marvel at its capacity and

Black rot has greatly affected the
tomato fields of lower Delaware. The
damage wrought by this plant di-
sease, coupled with the drought which
prevailed within the past two weeks,
will mean that the crop this season
will be cut short probably so per
cent. Reports from every section Of
Sussex county where tomatoes are
extensively grown are to the effect
that growers and packers are not
anticipating more than half crop
This will mean that Gamers will pack
many thousand less this season thar
they have for the past three or foul
years, if the crop reporters are cor
rect in their estimate of the yield

in fairly good condition, believe tina
the yield in some localities Will reacl

In addition to the use Of poison
there are numerous other practices
which tend to reduce the boil weevii
injury to cotton Even when poison
'''~ $ practiced the most thorough
attention should be given to the in.
ILL.,. eul n-eans OF control, since they re-
duce the amount Of poisoning which
might be necessary and increase the
profit which may be obtained.
One of the most important steps to-
ward reducing the weevil infestation
Is the destruction of the cotton plants
in the early fall before the weevils
have hibernated To be Of the great
est value, the plants must be plowed
under deeply before the first killing
frost.
It has been pointed out in a previous
article that immature stages OF the
weevils may survive the frosts and
cause a continuous development OF
weevils throughout the winter. This
may be checked completely by the Dc
struction of the stalks.
In some districts where 1t Is i'm,
possible to practice fall destruction

may be obtained by grazing the
field with cattle, sheep or goats. Elk
,perts declare there Is no danger to
the stock from poisoning as there very
rarely Is poison on the plants at that
time of the year and the amount on
the plants Immediately after an applf
cation will not injure the stock.
1t is often possible to reduce con
siderably the spring infestation by
proper winter cleanup measures
around the fields. Since the weev1ls
will hiberante successfully in any
trash or rubbish, 1t is good practice
10 burn over or clean up around the
cotton field during the winter
especially the fence rows and dftcl
banks.
Much can be accomplished by the
elimination Of Information quarters
Especially along the more northerl1
portions of the weevil zone, the mos
successful Information is largely con
fined to the timbered areas, and as
result serious weevil injury is expert
enced only in the fields adjoining sucf
timber. Under such conditions 1t Ii

10th at hand have also been receiv-
ing your unusually interesting DAILY
WORKER. Keep up the good begin
ming as you are filling a gap in jour
nalism that there is great need of in
every city in the world. | know that
you are not running that paper to

truth and some capitalist propaganda
in place of labor facts. You know
there is very bad disease raging in
California at the present time; the
hoof and mouth disease of cattle
which can be taken by human beings
as well; that is a good reason to
boycott all California products. And
a further reason if you happen to
work for wages in some of the labor
hating laws of this state of Sunshine.
Slavery and Earthquakes, namely,
the c. S. law. Every worker ought to
boycott this state until it gives labor

May Day in Chicago.
To the DAILY WORKER:

A reporter for Farmer-Labor Voice
attended the United Front May Day
Conference and Concert, held at the
North Side Turner Hall, Chicago, on
the evening of May and these were
his impressions. He found large and
very enthusiastic crowd of workers in
attendance. But Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor was not there. Nor were any
Of his official representatives heard
from, during the lively meeting which
followed.
But William +. Dunno was present,
as the principal speaker--the same
bill" Dunno who was expelled from
Gompers' last A. f. of l.. convention
because Of his alleged too radical"
ideas with regard to the workers rank
in society. And "Bill" Dunno paid his
respects to Sammy" Compensation
the progressive point of view. Incl
dentally, he indicated that Mr.. Com
pers and his Federation were about
the only things Of Labor character
and he didn't give them credit for
much of character under that CLASH
fication-now unaware Of the real sig
nificance of May LIST as International
Labor Day. Dunno voiced opinion
that chief among the arguments for
setting May 1st as Labor Day, was
the vernal quality Of that season. as
contra-distinguished from the autumn
al "has been" character Of the old
September date. Just as the month

sonance with the resolution passed in

be lifted.

One of the Millions

Helene JeSsmeP was the beautiful daughter of
California bakery owner. But she cut loose from
her dreary surroundings, joined the Follies, met
the young millionaire, Phillip Morgan Plant,
crashed into tree with him in an auto accident,
and was disfgured. Because she had rich para
site at her side in the smashup, Miss Jessmer is
now able to 90 back to the California bakery with
100000 in settlement of her 100000 suit. And
the average reader of the daily newspapers, faced
with his own struggle for daily existence, will
chime in with, 'lucky girl"
But there are millions of young girls, children,
by the grace of the United States Supreme Court,
many beautiful children of the working class who
are being sent into the mills and factories of the
nation, there to have the bloom of their youth torn
from them, slowly perhaps, but just as
ruthlessly, as thru the most terrible automobile
wreck
To be sure there are millionaires near as the
roses die in the cheeks of the young factory work
ers. But they are usually heavy paunched, thick
jowled, aged profteers, who have their property
rights protected in the courts where the 100000
damage suit of girl worker for the loss of her
youth and beauty would be thrown into the street.
Yet it wouldn't be a bad thing for these children
of the factories to take the case of Helene Jessmer
as precedent and place similar price upon their
youth. Congress and the courts, the tools of the
bosses, have rejected them. Perhaps the children,
spurned on by the luck of Miss Jessmer, with her
millionaire might try for little luck against their
own millionaire disfgurers The deadly grind of
the factory takes toll of child life much greater
than the more spectacular auto spills of young
millionaires with their chorus girl companions.
1t should also pay the penalty

New Soviet Film
Shows Russian Toilers
Forging Rapidly Ahead

A new film of Soviet Russia and
Germany recently arrived in America,
will be released for the first time in
New York City, on May 9th Friday
evening, at $3.50 at the Central opera
house, 205 q. Sixty-seventh st., by the
International Workers Aid.
The technical part of the photoplay,
the photograph, titling and dramatic
value is superior to any of the other
films which have been shown here
Of Soviet Russia.
Russia is shown in this film busily
engaged putting its house in order
Building up the industries, improving
its agricultural methods, with scenes
of the International Agricultural Ex-
position which was recently held in
Moscow, Russia, in the years 1924
were busy and historic years for Rus
STA, and this film deals with every
phase of it's social and economic life.
Germany, on the other hand, is in
turmoil. The film shows great anti
government demonstrations in which
hundreds of thousands take part, peo-
pie rioting in the streets over a rise
in the price Of bread. The German
government suspending even their pit
lance of a charity dole which enabled
a family of four to buy one loaf of
bread-this sounds like a setting for
real blow-up.
The picture is called "a Tale of
Two Republics" because it deals with
two most interesting countries in the
world, Russia and Germany.
Every worker should make an effort
to see this picture. The film is so
well arranged that it clarifies the is
sues as no amount of newspaper re-
ports could portray; especially does it
affect the false reports of the capital
list press.

Clubbing the Cubans


American arms are being rushed to Cuba to help
maintain the status quo in the Caribbean satrapy
of Wall Street. AS usual the pretense behind
which the mperalstic ventures of our ruling class
hide is one of abstract justice some other
ethereal vagary Of the thinnest order
The Cuban incident brings to the fore problem
which is assuming serious proportions for the
workers and poor farmers of this country There
is one outstanding feature of American capitalist
expansionist policy. And that is that those gov
ernments of other countries which tend to assure
the maximum safety to American investments are
the governments which the Washington govern
ment will support with money and military
strength. Today this imperialist dictum is tan
tamount to a declaration from our financial over
lords that the Latin American peoples are to have
only those governments which are satisfactory to
the banking and manufacturing interests of the
United States.
The Yankee imperialist government is for revo-
luton in a country only when the revolution
promises more profits and higher interest rates to
the capitalists. Thus Theodore Roosevelt manu-
featured the Panama revolution against Colombia
Republicanism goes by the board when the dollar
demands it. The American capitalist republic has
to it's dscredt the record of having destroyed
republics than any other country in the world
The first republic in the Orient, the Philippine Re-
public, and the Republic of San Domingo we're
both crushed by the military and naval guns of
the republican army of capitalist America. In
Peru, the American ambassador POindexter, is
serving as the agent plenipotentiary of the Ma
tional City Bank and Washington power and Wall
Street money are the sole prop keeping up the
Peruvian Fascist government which is threatened
by the wrath Of the masses.
In Honduras it was American capitalist intrigue
that was responsible for the revolution. In Mex
leo the Washington capitalist bureaucrats were
compelled to help Obregon, not because they loved
him or hated de la Huerta, but because they feared
that the business outlook would be much worse for
their masters if Obregon was overthrown. Obvi
ously the Latin American countries have become
the natural hinterland for American capitalist
manouevers and exploitation.
Herein lies a source of many dangers to the
American workers and farmers In time the Latin
American masses will revolt against their being
pawns in the hands of the Yankee capitalists The
Cubans will get sick and tired of revolutions being
made to order and crushed in their country by the
agents of Wall Street Bolivia may soon want to
have a government of its own choice Unless the
American working men and poor farmers get to-
gether with their brethren in the Latin,American
countries to fight the common enemy that is OPP
pressing and exploiting them, the proletariat and
dispossessed agrarian masses of all the American
countries will be thrown into mortal combat in
behalf of their Masters in which hundreds
of thousands of wage workers and peasants will be
slaughtered.
