CORPS ORGANIZED

Mr.. Hillesland is planning to re-
organize the Drum and Bugle corps.
This was started under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Cooper year before last
and there was much interest. shown
at that time. Last year. however.
no work was done. Mr.. Hillesland
promises the girls who were previ-
ously in the corps to obtain drums
and .bugles first, then new members
may enroll to use the remaining in
struments. After several practices
he has planned some pieces to play
with the band.
An orchestra is also being formed.
Only a few of the instruments have
been selected to date, but the or
ganization will soon be completed.

CHEVROLET MOTOR
COMPANY EXPANDING

The Chevrolet Motor company is
spending $1,5O0.OOO on the install.
lation of a radically new system OF
replacement parts distribution which
executives declare will assure uni
lformly prompt service for every
Chevrolet owner in the United
States.
The plan, involving the establish
ment of six new major supply de-
pots throughout the country. has
been worked out by President w. S.
Knudsen and J.. P. Little, manager
of h parts and service division.
In a service way it supplements the
greater production capacity which
will be available after completion
of the 100000 Chevrolet fac
tory expansion program.
The new supply depots, in which
will be stored reserve parts stocks,
are to be located at the following
points: Oakland, Calf, GAINESVILLE,
Wis, Cincinnati, o., Buffalo, N. Y.
st. Louis. Mo. and Tarrytown, N. Y.
All of the depots except thai at
and Ookland will be
new. specially designed buildings of
brick and reinforced steel concrete.
The existing parts stations at Oak
land and Tarrytown will be en-
larged and reitted to meet the
heavy demands that will be made
upon them under the new system.
The entire facilities of the central
parts warehouse at Flint, which
heretofore has been the central
shipping point. will be retained
The ground already has been brok-
en- for the four new buildings, and
all of the major supply depots will
be ready for operation by January
81.
The. new depots will serve as
safety valves, smoothing out the
peaks and valleys of demands made
by the parts department on produc-
ton plants and service stations.
They will perform a two-foid func-
ton: first, expedite the delivery of
parts; second, create a reservoir
that will permit of uniform produc-
ton of parts, regardless of seasonal
variations in demand.

EDUCATION WEEK
PROCLAMATION
President Calvin Coolidge

Education Is becoming well nigh
universal in America. The rapidity
of its expansion within the past
half century has no precedent. Our
system of public instruction, ad-
ministered by state and local Of
icers, is peculiarly suited to our
habits of life and to our plan of
government. and it has brought
forth abundant fruit.
In some favored localities only
one, two or three persons in a
thousand between the ages of 16
and 20 are classed as illiterate.
High schools and academies easily
accessible are offering to the youth
of America a greater measure of
education than that which the
founders of the nation received
from Harvard, William and Mary.
Yale and Princeton; and SO widely
diffused has advanced study become
that the bachelors degree is no
longer a symbol of unusual learn
ing.
All this is a reason for gratifca-
ton; but in the contemplation of
worthy achievement we must be
mindful that full provision has not
been made throughout the country
Tor education of either elementary,
secondary or higher grade. Large
numbers have not been reached by
the blessings of education. The eff
ficiency of the school in rural com
munities is, in general, relatively
low; too often their equipment is
meagre, their teachers poorly pre-
pared, and their terms short. High
schools, Notwithstanding their. ex-
~traordinary growth, have not kept
pace with the demand for instruc-
ton; even in great cities many stu
dents are restricted to half-time at
tendance, and in outlying districts
such schools are frequently insuffi-
cient in number or inadequate in
quality. In higher education the
possibilities of existing institutions
have been reached and it is essen
tial that their facilities be extended
or that Junior colleges in consid-
cradle numbers be established.
These difficulties leave no room
for complacency. The utmost en-
deavor must be exerted to provide
for every child in the land the full
measure of education which his
need and his capacity demand; and
none must be permitted to live in
ignorance. Marked benefit has come
in recent years from nationwide

Coal Operators Do AS
They Please in Many
Pennsylvania Pits
Especial to The Daily worksrl

COAL CENTRE, Pa, May 2. - Here
are some of the conditions we are con-
fronted with at Vesta mine of the
Vesta Coal company. Here is one of
the incidents: A man went home one
day about one hour and half before
quitting time and the next day his
place was fenced off" until dinner
time. He was kept from work that
time. Later instructions gere given
all over the mine that any man who
went home before quitting time hV
would lose his job.
A few days later a couple of men
were going home about dinner time
and boss met them and after they
refused to return to work-stating
their reasons for going home-he laid
them off for Is days.
Some of the men in this mine are
forced to work in water and they get
all wet. The mine is ventilated pretty
we'll in these places and as soon as
the man has nothing to do he begin to
freeze. Now if these men were not
forced to stay in the mine until that
time mentioned; then they could start
to walk home as soon as they were
positive that the motor would not
bring them any more "empties."
It is immaterial to the bosses whe-
Their you freeze or not. The men
should take up their grievances with
the mine committee and attend local
meetings, and see to it that the con-
ditions mentioned and many Others
detrimental to the workers are cradle
ated.

Administration Leaders
Fear Growth of Farmer
Bloc" in the S e n a t e

WASHINGTON, D. O., May 2. =
The threatened revolt of IL senetaros
against the Coolidge policy of defer
ring relief for farmers until next ses
sion has caused great worry among
the administr Aion supporters.
The "farmeiT bloc" conferred with
Coolidge in an effort to enlist his
support on the Haughen farm relief
bill. Coolidge refused to commit him
self. The senators from the midwest
pointed out the inadequacies Of the
Tincher bill and urged the passage
OF the Haughen bill.
Administration supporters fear the
growing revolt and have held a mum
Der Of secret conferences with Coo
lidge and other officials in an attempt
to map out line of strategy. Many
Of the die-hards wish to postpone ac-
ton on farm relief but fear that this
action on their part may mean their
defeat in the coming primaries and
elections. They fear another defeat
similar TO that administered to VIII.

Virgin Islands Bill
Disfranchise Negroes
Who Are in Majority

WASHINGTON, May 2. - That
the pending bill for the organization
of civil government in the Virgin
Islands, to replace the arbitrary rule
of the navy, has provisions for exclud-
ing the Negroes, who comprise nine
tenths Of the population, from the bal
lot was admitted in testimony before
the senate committee investigating the
matter. The admission by DR.. Rufus
Tucker, economic expert for the treas
ury department, was made in the
course Of his discussion and drew not
a single objection from any member
of the committee.
Regarding the suffrage situation"
he declared, "nine-tenths of the popula-
tion are colored and somesof the white
people are afraid that If universal suf-
frage were granted there would be
widespread race discrimination. The
bill, as drawn, guards against this by
limiting suffrage to those who can
read and write" 9ro
Like Southern States.
This is the same provision, which
coupled with the so-called grand
father" clause, in the southern states
has led to the Acknowledgement of the
Negroes. The white election officials
rule that Negroes are unable to read
or write, even when well-educated.
Any Negro who dares to object gets
his head caved in. The result is that
with few exceptions the Negroes are
absolutely disfranchised.i 1t is this
same sort of system which the re-
dictionary imperial Coolidge admins
tration is proposing for these islands.

Communist Deputy
Assails Fascist in
Italian Chamber

ROME, May 2. After Musso-
lini's harangue at a special session of
the Italian chamber of deputies a brief
memorial was held for the late Clio
vanni Amendola, leader OF the Aven-
tine opposition and one OF the bitter
parliamentary foes of the fascist die
tator.
The Communist deputy Man in
speaking at the memorial exercises
for Amendola in behalf OF the italian
Communist Party stressed the assas-
sination and terrorism OF deputies and
workers by the fascist and pointed TO
the assassination OF the socialist de-
putty Matteottd by the followers OF
Mussolinf, some OF whom are in jail
today, as one Of the blacklist crimes
in Italian history.
His tribute to Amendola was re-
ceived in a tense silence. Workers
that had gained entrance in the gal
leries expected at any moment 10 see
one OF the fascist gang assassinate
Maffi just as they had Matteotti for
opposition TO the fascist leader Mus
solinf. One fascist and one liberal
deputy also spoke at the Amendola
services.

$4,000 TRACTORS

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2. =
Nearly $4,000 tractors are taking part
in the spring blowing in the Soviet
Union this year, setting new record
for Russia, according to announcement
by the Russian Information Bureau
Last spring there were about 5000
tractors, and before the war there
were less than 500 in the whole Rus
sian Empire. Of the tractors 1925
we're imported from the United States,
most of them within the past two
years. The amount paid for them was
S9,243,610. Since Jnauary /, 1926, 16,
O62 tractors have been shipped to the
Soviet Union from American ports,
and the Amtorg Trading corporation is
shipping so more this week.
In addition to the imports Of tractors
from the United States, the manu-
facture of tractors has recently been
organized in the Soviet Union. About
1900 will be produced in Soviet fac

For generations Russia has suffered
from periodical famines, resulting
from seasons of unfavorable weather
plus the primitive methods Of cultiva

Farmers in the Pacific Northwest and
thru the central states, the organiza.

Farmer-Labor states under formation

these manifestations, and many others
of a local character, prove thai the
farmer is leaving the old political
track and is ready to take up the fight
in his own interests. To be sure, he
is at present only cropping his way
forward but the significant fact to
note is that he has started to fight
within his own political party and in
alliance with the city industrial work
ers.
On this May Day the farmers OF
America should march side by side
with the city workers in great and
enthusiastic demonstration against the
capitalist powers, assert and give i'm
petus to the fight they are making
within their own organization, for
their own rights.
