Without doubt, however, the out
standing feature of the ranking and
records is the appearance of the name
of Mrs. May Sutton Bundy as No. 8.
AS Miss Sutton, she won the Women's
national singles championship in 1901
and the English ladies' championship
at Wimbledon in 1905 and 1907
That Mrs. Bundy should gain the
No. position in national singles rank
ing q years after her debut as the
national singles champion is a splen-
did testimonial of her proWesS and
ability on the tennis courts, and a
record not achieved by any player in
the similar division of mems ranking.

records made by the California play

nothing else all the year round but

Delaware apples will go this year to
Canada In addition to this large
cities in the East will receive their
quota of fruit from this State. In
other years early apples had been
shipped abroad. Three years ago the
experiment proved successful. Last
year because of industrial unrest in
England and delays in handling the
cargoes, foreign shipments were not
SO profitable. The. English buyer de-
mands red apples. He doesn't care

STATE SHOWS AN INCREASE
IN AUTOMOBILE LICENSES
FOUR THOUSAND MORE CARS
LICENSED FIRST FIVE MONTHS
Returns From Gas Tax Also Show
Marked Advancement Over Last
Year as Do Auto License Fees

Four thousand more automobiles
have been licensed in Delaware in the
first five months of this year than
during 1925. The receipts from gas
oline tax are many thousands of dol
lars more and there were more ar
rests in the first five months of this
year than last year, although there
were two months when driving was
unattractive. These statements give
some idea of how the automobile in
dustry is stepping forward in Della
ware. That regulation of motor traf-
fic is going to be one of the major
concerns in the government of the
State, seems evident.
In the first five months of last year
the fees received for licensing auto
mobiles trucks and motorcycles was
1851 ,479. During the first five months
of this year the receipts total $685.
631.
From gasoline tax of 2 cents a gal
lon there was received in the first five
months of 1925 $104, 4,644.34. During
the first five months of this year the
total was $122,903.22. While this
shows apparently an increase of but
$4,000, there really should be $19,-
900 more, because in order to avoid
confusion, the State Treasurer closed
his books for May on Saturday before
Decoration Day. On June / there
were checks awaiting him for more
than $4,000, which, if added to the
other tax received for May, would
make the grand total for the five
months of this year about $4,000
things straight, this $4,000 will be
reported as of receipts for the month
of June

OId-Tinle Hosiery

Hose is really the old term for what
amounted to our modern trousers and
stockings combined, our ancestors at
one period wearing garment some
thing like the '1egginette" now so pop
ular for small children.
The centuries passed and the fash
ions changed. First breeches and
then trousers came in, and the old
one-piece garment disappeared. We
still kept its name, however, but only
applied It to the tight-htting covering
Of the lower limbs, and even this In

name-the stocking. This name is a
form of the word stock, which means
in this case, part of the trunk.

JAW BROKEN BY EXPLOSION
William Truitt, COlOred, is Seriously
Hurt When Tank Goes Up at Lincoln

An explosion of carbide tank used
for lighting the home of William
Truitt, at Lincoln, colored, who was
filling the tank at the time of the ex-
plosion. His jaw bone was broken
and several real teeth knocked out by
the force of the explosion. The acci-
dent happened Wednesday morning,
When Ross was filling the tank. He
had just completed the job and was in
the act of turning the lever which per-
mits the gas to flow through the
pipes to the lights in the house when
the tank filled with 200 pounds of car
bide exploded. The explosion was
heard for nearly a mile, but the tank
was settled to the ground and no dam
age to the house resulted. Ross was
taken to the Marshall Hospital, at
Milford, where every effort is being
made to save his sight.

Charles S. Sirman, aged SO, vet

Lessons of the English Strike

| class would have been plunged into
ever increasing misery.
End of English Rope.
THE English bourgeoisie, as the
l. leader of European capitalism. as
the European victor in the world war,
had much longer than the less pow
erful continental capital the posi-
bility Of paying it's working class rela-
lively high wages. Now, however,
English capital also is faced with the
necessity of carrying out the santa
ton and naturalization of its economy
at the cost of the English working
class. In England capital is now faced
with the issue; now or never. And
all attempts to evade the struggle are
in vain; the position Of capital COM
pels it to take up the struggle.
But while in Germany, Austria,
Czecho-Slovakia, etc., the reformist
trade union leaders, IN the same sit
uation, evaded the struggle, and, in
fact, under the slogan Of restoring pro-
duction, supported the capital efforts
at sterilization, agreed TO the aboli-
ton of the eight-hour day, to reduc-
tons of wages, the closing down of
factories and the deprival of the work
ers of their rights and even beat down
the opposition on the p&rt. of the work
ers who were fighting against this, in
England the proletarian resistance
against the efforts off capital has
gained the upper hand The reform
list trade union leaders, were, for the
greater part, removed from the leader
ship of the trade unions and replaced
by left wing leaders. This revolution
izing OF the English trade union move
ment has as a result that now the
trade unions no longer evade the
struggle with the employers, but take
it up with all its consequences. Not
salvage Of economy" which means in
practice salvage of capitalism. but sal
wage and assurance of the existence Of
the working class is the slogan of the
English trade unions.
Solidarity.
THE realization of this slogan rem
l. ders necessary measures by which
defeat of various isolated fighting
groups of workers is prevented and
by which every attack on the part of
capital on one section Of the workers
can be determinedly repealed by the
entire working class, Hence there
was set up the fighting. alliance of
the most important industrial groups,
the miners, railway workers, metal
workers and transport workers. AS a
result Of these tactics the attack upon
the miners could only be answered
with a general strike.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-05-25
By A. ENpERLE (RerIinl

THE struggle of the 100000 English
4 miners and the general strike OF
the whole English working class re-
sulting from it has at one stroke
placed on the order OF the day the
general and unavoidable struggle be-
tween capital and labor in all capital
ist countries. In England we have ex-
perienced for the first time in history
a general strike of the whole working
class of a country for the attainment
Of purely economic, that is to say,
trade union demands, whilst pre-
viously all general strikes in the va
rious countries were only partly for
economic demands and for the greater
part for political demands.
The struggle in England imposed
on the workers and trade unions OF
the other capitalist countries not only
the obligations of solidarity but proven
ton of transport of coal and goods to
England or to the English markets.
The questions around which the strug-
gle ragged in England are precisely
the same, in fact are much more ur-
gent, in the remaining capitalist coun-
tries.
Same Flight, Elsewhere.
TN Germany, France, Italy, Poland
4 Czecho-Slovakia, etc, capital has
been conducting for years the same
fight against the workers as the Eng
lish bourgeoisie is now conducting
Capitalist economy can no longer full
fill its social task; 1t can no longer
feed and maintain the whole popula-
ton; it finds itself in chronic and
ever-sharpening crisis. Capital must
overcome this crisis, must stabilize
itself, If it wishes TO continue it's rule
This sterilization can only be accom-
plished by means of increasing the
misery of the working class. 1t means
in practice lowering the standard Of
living of the working class, closing
down of "superhuous" factories, throw
ing many millions of proletarians on
the street, reduction of wages and
frightening of working time of the
workers remaining in the factories.
Sterilization"
ON the European continent, before
~ all in Germany, Cezcho- Slovakia
and Poland, capital with the help Of
the reformist trade union leaders, has
for years been able to carry out this
sterilization" In this respect capital
has gone from success to success,
while the working class has lost one
position after another. If the reform
list trade union tactics had been con-
tinued, capital would have had the
prospect of continuing its "stabiliza-
ton" for some considerable time,
