WORkERSDO NOT
WANT SYMPATHY
Workers Want Steady Employ
ment and Fair Wages, Not
Including Petting
(By The Associated Pres.N

BLUE RIDGE, N. c., Aug. l.
Steady employment, fair wages.
good working conditions, and kindly
treatment at the hands of their
management, is what workers want"
and not "coddling and welfare
work." stated w. B. Ferguson, pro
duction manager of the Newport
News Shipbuilding company today,
in addressing the Southern Confer
ence on Human Relation in Indus
try meeting here.
Instead of having things done
for them, workers want the oppor
tunity to do things for themselves,
he added. Carrying out of the above
program will give them this OPP
portunity.
The reward system is one of the
best known to keep good relations
between the employer and employee
he said discussing various forms of
incentive such as piece work, premi-
UNI, and bonus systems, profit shar-
ing plans, pointing out their adj
vantages and disadvantages.
"If the wishes and wants of both
workers and managers are harmo-
nized SO that they have a common
interest, then the right relations
will be established" The manage
ment expects a fair days work and
must in turn pay a fair price for
the work.
"The hope of reward of some kind
will always be the controlling emo
ton in industry" but these rewards
must not necessarily be financial,
he declared. Steady employment IS
one of the greatest rewards. The
most successful plant is the one
where every workman realizes he
is responsible for his own sphere If
the work, and is in himself po-
tentiaI manager.
The determining of a fair days
work and pay must not be guess
work, but calculated after a careful
survey Of all the elements that have
to do with the production. Proper
equipment must be provided, and
then the time estimated to do the
work. If they do the work in a
shorter time they should be reward
ed.

PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM DOVER JAIL
Three Men, Two White And One
COlOred, Awaiting Trial, Saw
Bars And Get Away.

When Sheriff Howard Wix went
into the Jail last Friday morning to
furnish breakfast to the prisoners he
made the discovery that three Of his
wards were missing, Charlie Mitch
ell and Al Pierce, both white, and
"Chinc" Holiday, colored.
So quietly was the work done that
neither the sheriff nor any of his
family heard anything unusual going
on inside the Jail, though the build
ings are under the same roof.
The remaining prisoners disclaim
any knowledge of how the escape
was made, and the saving of two
bars in downstairs back window,
which had been tampered with time
and time again, was the only evil
dence as to how the escape was
made.
Sheriff Wix is convinced that the
men had outside help, as it would
have been impossible for the escape
to have been made without some one
holding the heavy iron screen on the
outside of the window, which was
propped back when the sheriff dis
that the men mad gone.
The tools with which the work
was done evidently were of the best,
as the severance of the bars shows
as clean cut saving as an expert
machinist could have done.
Mitchell was awaiting trial on the
charge of larceny, while Pierce was
awaiting trial, charged with selling
liquor. Pierce was taken in a raid
near Harrington last week.
That the rest of the prisoners did |
not escape, all having the same
chance, is the wonder of the sheriff |
and his deputy.
Mitchell admitted to one of the
prisoners some days ago, that he had
broken jail elsewhere and he has
leen looked upon as somewhat of a
mystery man." since his arrest
hree weeks ago.

FARM BUILDINGS BURNED
AT BROWNSVILLE SATURDAY
Small Boy Playing With Matches
Caused Disastrous Blaze

Fire, which is thought to have
been started by small boy playing
with matches, originated in the barn
on the farm of ]. ]. Brown and be-
fore aid could be summoned had
spread to the other buildingings on
the farm. The Brown farm is located
near Brownsville, near Harrington.
The estimated loss is about $4,000.
The Harrington Fire Company re-
sponded to a call for assistance, hut
before they arrived the fire had
spread to the stables, a vacant store
room and the dwelling occupied by
the Brown family. The live stock
was saved from the fire. When the
firemen saw that attempts to save
the farm buildings were useless, they
devoted their efforts to saving a
large pile of wood, which they did.
The only building remaining on the
farm was a chicken house which
escaped the flames. There was about
$4,000 loss on the burned buildings.
For. the present time Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown are being cared for at the !
home of J. C. TaLman who lives on

CORN RAISER WINS
HONORS AT CHICAGO
F. D. Sapp's White Ear Nets Him
Cash Prizes

Frank D. Sapp, of Houston, won
the Delaware sweepstakes at the Ma
tiOnal Seed Corn Show at Chicago
with an ear of Johnson County
White, and also won the Kent coun-
ty prize. The amount of these prizes
has not been made known to Mr..
Sapp. 1t is assumed that the cOun-
ty prize will be small, possibly five
dollars or so, but the State sweep
stakes will be considerably larger.
1t will be recalled that $4,000 was
offered in prizes, $1,000 of which was
to be for the best ear in the cOun-
try, while the rest was to be divided
among the State and county win
ners. AS the county prizes are small
in amount, a much larger proper
tion will go to the 46 state prize win
ners, of which Mr.. Sapp is one.
There were 10 exhibitors from
Delaware at the show for the prizes
which were offered by the Sears
Roebuck Agricultural Foundation
for the winning ears in the exhibit.
Close to 10000 growers had entries
at the show, which was the largest |

was tested for termination, and the |
