TEKTIE STRIKE
TO SPREAD

PASsAIc, Is. j., March 5. "A
nationwide sympathy strike 81
textile workers was predicted today
by Albert WeisbOrd, leader OF the
1000 striking WOODEN workers Of
Passaic, Clifton and Garfield.
The 10000 silk workers Of Pater-
son. II. j., will walk out Of their
plants next week, Weisbord said,
and following this exodus textile
workers throughout the country will
join the strike.
The strikers claim preparations
are already under way in Lawrence,
Mass. and Paterson, n. j., Tor a
wallSout.
Meanwhile, mill owners planned
to vote today on the question Of
closing all wooden mills in the strike
zone. Owners are reported to fear
a reign Of terror as q cllIIaax TO the
recent battling between police and
strikers, which would endanger the
company properties.
The "Cossack" tactics evident
among the police earlier in the week
permitted to parade and picket with
out interference. However, trench
helmets were still popular among
the strikers and arm0red cars con,
tanning newspaper men continued 10
cruise the vicinity.
There is an apparent trend OF
sympathy toward the strikers. Hun
dleds Of shopkeepers are contrib
uting to relief funds, and almost
every store in the strike area is
granting credit to families OF
strikers.
A resolution calling on Governor
Moore to settle the strike WAS
passed by the merchants committee
Of the Chamber Of Commerce.

by railroad and traction interests.
At the present time there is only
one Utility Commission in Delaware
the Wilmington board, which has
only judicial power to determine
questions of service and services

of the city of Wilmington. The ques-
tion of interstate service by public
utilities has been brought to the fore
by the granting of franchises to bus
lines operating between this city
and points in other States. The right
to grant these franchises and die
tate the routes over which these
buses shall operate has been assum-
ed by the Street and Sewer Direc-

1926 SUMMER TRAINING CAMPS

Rivalling the hectic Liberty Loan
drives of II and '18, a nationwide
education campaign, touching every
county in the United States, has been
launched by the Military Training
Camps association to interest the
youth Of the country and their par
ents in the Governments summer
program for the 1926 Citizens Mill
tary Training Camps.
Already patriotic citizens of local
prominence in more than ninety per
cent of the three thousand counties
OF the United States have volunteer
ed to act as active chairmen of coun-
ty committees now forming in their
localities, an announcement by the
Association said.
With more summer camps planned
this year than ever before, this
huge organization will be utilized
by the Government to enroll thirty
five thousand candidates for the
camps by June 1. The candidates are
to come from school, factory, or
farm and represent each commun-
ity's choicest manhood.

The recent snowstorms have done
more damage to the state highways
this winter than for four or tiVe
years. Wherever the snow was piled
into drifts and became frozen, and
remained to be worn away by auto
mobiles, the concrete is very apt to
have suffered. Cracks will appear
this spring, and these will have to
be filled in and always thereafter
will have to be taken care of.
Even as late as Friday Of last
week, snow two and three feet high
could be seen along the du Pont
Boulevard in New Castle county.
The heavy rains of Thursday failed
to make much of an impression upon
it. Fortunately, it was off the high

SALISBURY SELECTED
AS HEADQUARTERS OF
PENINSULA PROJECT
(continued from irst pagel


announced by Mr.. Adkins at later
date.
Speaking for the Sussex county
delegation, DR.. G. Layton Grier, the
mover of the resolution which
brings the headquarters of The Del
Mar-Va Association permanently TO
Salisbury, said, I'VE would certain
ly have welcomed headquarters of
the association in Georgetown, Mil
ford, Laurel, Delmar or in fact any
one of the towns of Sussex county.
But we recognize that from both the
viewpoint of the railroad and auto
mobile highway transportation, Sal
isbury is better situated than any
other community now actively iden-
titled with the movement. Since we
have reached the place where we
cannot get along satisfactorily with
out a permanent address, little Of
flee equipment and clerical staff and
since it was not possible to acquire
these without reaching a decision IS
to headquarters city, we decided to
settle the headquarters question at
our meeting last Thursday after
noon. 1 was not surprised that the
action of the committee was unani-
nous and l want to say that when
the question was raised the attitude
of the Wicomico county members
was so generously cOnsiderate of the
claims of all the other counties rep
resented in the room that we could
not do anything but settle the CUES
ton on its merits"
Thus with the headquarters prob
lem settled, the association through
it's headquarters committee will i'm
mediately proceed to establish per-
manent headquarters in the city of
Salisbury, Maryland. While the or
ganization is going through the
processes of erecting its permanent
headquarters, it will also begin very
shortly to set up some of the per-
manent committees with a view to
proceeding not only with the public
ity program which will project the
business interests but also such de-
partments as may be classified as
Service Bureaus.
Slogan Contest
The announcement of last week
with reference to the slogan contest
has brought forth a great number of
responses indicating a widespread
interest in the development program
of the association. This contest will
continue through the months of
March and April, and the sugges-
tions that have come in and will
continue during the period specified
will be placed before committee of
Judges on or shortly after May 1st.
We would again remind our read
ers that anyone desiring prospect
us of the association can secure one
by mailing a request to the Del
