THE worker correspondents in Yal-
= Ia first became organized in the
autumn of 1924. Prior to this date
about 10 wall newspapers existed
turnout the whole district in the large
enterprises. There were also indi-
vidual workers correspondents OF
various printed papers, but there was
absolutely no common center, and the
work was very unsystematic owing to
the youth and inexperience OF the
whole movement There was no &C
curate record. The approximate esti-
mate was 60 to 70 worker correspond
ents 0with few peasant correspond

Editor of The American:
The item in The American of
January 6, referring to some new

tion. For their benefit in arriving
at a value for their new two-year-
old incubator gems, l will say that
new potatoes now in the market here
are Is cents a pound. OF course,
Mr.. and Mrs. Linscott should ex-
pect double that price on account OF
the price of coal, as compared to
the natural free sunshine here.
Prices on other new produce are:
Green peas, 80 cents pound;
string beans, Is cents a pound; car
rots, Is cent a bunch of three;
strawberries, $1.0O basket; milk,
rs cents quart; oranges, small, 10
cents a dozen; large, % cents
dozen; grapefruit, small, for 3
cents; large, cents each; tan
gerines, 20 cents a dozen; bananas,
small, Is cents dozen; large, rs
cents dozen; reds, three for 10
cents.
How do like Florida? Why, it's
fine; warm and summerlike during
the day, but you people North want
to can the idea that you can run
around in your B. V. DIS here in

Suzanne Lenglen is just too good at
tennis for Helen Wills and that's all
there is to 1t. They met on Tuesday
last and the French champion won in
straight sets, SO, S-6. There has been
some feeble attempt at an abb, but
the simple truth is that Lenglen was
able to return everything Wills chose
to put over the net-and that wins.
Miss Wills had fall the day pre-
ceding the match and a slight injury
resulted to her knee. But she claim
ed it was "only a scratch" Some have
said that If she could have come thru
with the second set she could have
won, as Lenglen was very evidently
tiring-but the "if" stood in the
way.
However, they are both great play
ers and credit in their line to the
great countries they represent.

up in his base ball career, and has
signed with the Reading club of the
international League.
Schelberg first came into promi-
nence at Washington College. He at
tracted the attention of a Pittsburgh
scout, and the big league laid hands
on him. He was shifted about from
club to club and finally landed in the
Eastern Shore League at Crisfeld.
His first performances were bril-
liant, and it looked as If he were a.
bout to "set the League afire"; but. to
a certain extent the club began to
solve his delivery, tho up to the close
CT the season, he was always hard to
hit. Geb

this was due to sore pitching hand
He has now gone into higher company

ANTHRACITE COAL .

Public Getting Ready To Pay
Costs OF Many Months

The coal strike was ended last
week, the miners have gone back X
work, anthracite coal is on the move
and the public is getting ready to pay
the costs of the months Of idleness
said costs amounting up to millions Of
dollars.
At any rate, there will be rest
from another little scrap between the
operators and miners for at least five
years. BY that time, perhaps, the
two sides will clash again, and the
miners will take another vacation, the
bill for which will again be presented
to the suffering public.
Indications point to the fact that
the said public is getting a little wear
led with these periodical lay-offs.
In a special message to the New
