LIQUOR LOSES OUT
TO SCENIC BEAUTY
85, 900 U. S. AutoiStS Visit
Ontario, but Few Seek
Rum Permits.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, October 17.-During the
Summer months, following repeal of
the Ontario temperance act, more than
$4,000 automobile tourists from the
United States visited interior Ontario
via the Detroit route alone, according
to statistics compiled by the Essex
County (Windsor) Automobile Club.
The club, which has charge of the
issuance of automobile touring per-
mits to aliens passing into the interior
of the province through Windsor, eS-
Inmates "conservatively" that these
tourists spent more than $2,000.000.
The automobile tourists are estimated
to have numbered less than a tenth
of the total non-touring aliens who
visited Windsor only.
Scenic Beauty Attracts.
The interesting observation that a
majority of the tourists tabulated
were attracted to the province by its
scenic beauties is made by the organ
iZation in it's report made public last
night.
"Only per cent of the visitors
asked how liquor permits were OBJ
tanned and about l per cent actually
bought beer or whisky in Windsor
before starting out on their trips, the
report asserts.
Furthermore, no American tourist
was arrested for driving while drunk
No cases were reported for drinking
out in the open all Summer and not
q single case was brought to our at
tention of a tourist being arrested for
drunkenness
As If to convince the skeptical re-
parding the superiority of the provin-
cial scenic beauty as n drawing power
over the beverage appeal, the report
declares:
There is no question that the new
liquor laws enticed to Ontario only a
small percentage of thirsty Ameri-
cans. But small though that per-
centage was in the first place, the
Americans who came to get plenty to
drink stayed on to enjoy the tenn
perate pleasure of fishing, swimming
and sightseeing.
Reporters Disappointed.
"When the tourist season opened
reporters from Chicago, New York,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh and other Amer
lean cities swarmed into Windsor to
be on hand for the general American
debauch. But they went back to their
OIilC6S WlLuOuL the SLOTl0S Iu6y 0A-
pected.
ITO be on the safe side and show
itself a good and thoughtful host, the
Ontario government opened a liquor
permit Office across the street from the
automobile clubs Windsor Office. All
the tourist had to 90 to get all the
liquor he wanted was to step across
the street after getting his d0-day
tourist permit and stock up.
''The government closed up this per-
nit Office two weeks after 10 was
opened. Not more than 100 Ameri-
cans bothered to secure permits at
the most convenient place they could
be obtained in Ontario"
The statistics showed Ohio, Michi.
gan, Illinois and Kentucky led in the
number of automobile tourists, in the
order named. There were a number

Real Problems of
Negro Are Observed
By Harmon Awards

The opening Of the second series
Of William +. Harmon awards for
distinguished achievement by Ne
groes in the fields of literature, fine
arts, religion and business organiza-
tion has been announced. These
awards are for the purpose Of provid-
ing an impetus towards creative
work among Negroes.
To Negro workers, however, these
awards are just so much hokum. The
Negro worker, besides being an eco
nomic serf, lives in an environment
which is prejudiced towards him be-
cause of his color. He has a daily
reminder OF his position in the Amer
lean economic scheme of things. His
jobs are limited and are of the worst
and poorest paid. His problems are
not those of art" or religion or bus
mess organization. His immediate
problems are, rather, the struggle
against an antagonistic environment
and the right to work at jobs accord
ing to his capabilities. The Negro
is barred from the American FEEDER
ton of Labor and his big problem is
to find some means Of organizing his
fellows into some union to protect
their elemental rights, the rights of
labor, with better wages and decent
conditions.
These are his problems, not those
of the William h. Harmon Founda-
ton that will award him for his find
ings in religion or art.

SOVIET COLLEGE
WILL HELP FARM
REORGANIZATION
Students to Run Farm
While They Study

MOSCOW, Feb. 15.-The readiness
with which Russia adopts new expert
mental methods of education and the
rapid strides that she is taking to in
dustrialize agriculture are both illus
trated by an agreement recently con-
Guided between DR.. Charles Kuntz of
the American Polytechnic of Califor=
mia and the education department of
the Ul1rainian government.
The agreement provides for the es-
Enlistment of a combined agricul-
tural college and modern farm, where
students can work and study.
Newest Technique.
The most modern agricultural ma
chinery and the most advanced tech
nique will be employed. Thorough
mechanization of agriculture, which
will include the establishment of ma
chine shops and a power plant, is part
Of the program.
A former monastery, perched above
the Dnieper, little below the site Of
the huge hydroelectric plant which is
now under construction, will be reno
waited and used for the, college. The
site is ideal in view Of the plan for
mechanizing agriculture. The build
ings can house more than 500 stu
dents, and the adjoining farm con-
tains 1000 acres of the finest soil.
Take Up Soil.
Students will work four hours a
day on the land and four hours in the
class room. The college will be self
governing, students being represented
on the governing board, which will in
clude two members of the American
group and one representative of the
Ukrainian Board of Education.
Begin Teaching.
Not only will they work on the land
and learn, but students of the college
will teach. Part of their job is to
spread modern agricultural technique
among the peasants. The college will
serve as a service station" for the
surrounding countryside, where peas
ants will be able to come for aid and
advice. Graduates of the school will
be called upon to organize similar
groups throughout Russia.
Running a newspaper and a radio
transmitting station and organizing
athletics will be some of the other ac-
Invites Of the college.

Automatic Devices
Urged to Prevent
Rear End Collision

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission in its
report on a rear-end collision between
two sections of the goth Century
Limited at Savannah, N. Y, on Jan
uary Q, recommended that automatic
train control devices be installed to
prevent similar accidents in the fu-
ture.
"The operation of several sections
of train under close Roadway at a
speed of 80 miles an hour or more,
frequently under adverse weather
conditions, reduces the possibility OF
effective flag protection to a mini
mum and places practically all of the
responsibility on the engineer" the
report says.
"Such a situation clearly warrants
the installation of an automatic train
control device which will compel the
engineer to begin bringing his train
under control at the distant signal
location"
AS usual, the responsibility for the
collision was placed upon the engi-
neer, Scoyille, for failure to observe
and obey signals. Scoville was killed
in the wreck and 81 passengers in
jured.

The collapse OF the cooperative
under pressure of wholesale grocers
and bankers was told in the FEEDER
ated Press labor letter Of March 25,
1925. According to a former repre-
sentative of the cooperative who told
the story:
Price Slumps.
"When they got IS per cent Of their
crop into the cooperative producing
and marketing pool in 1912, the price
had been running from ! IA to 3
cents a pound for the prepared
raisins. They brought it up to 3 IL
cents the first year, to cents in
1917 and IA cents in 1920. Then it
slumped to cents in 1922 and about
3-4 cents in 1924"
The slump in the price received by
the raisin grower was not accom-
panied by a similar decline in the
price paid by the consumer. 1t was
a result chiefly of overproduction
stimulated by the opponents of CO.
operation In the same way that nom
union coal production has been devel-
oped to undercut the union fields, so
non-co-6perative raisin growing was
developed to the point where the CO.
operative Sun-Maid Raisin Growers
could not control the market.
Credit For Corporation.
In 1923 the Sun-Maid Raisin Grow
chs Assn, a Delaware organization,
tlApk over the debts of the co-opera-
tive and in return got all the proper
ties and the exclusive right to sell the

output of $1,000 or more members.
Of course the corporation, with east
ern finsneiers providing the cash, got
bank credit where the cooperative
had failed
Under an exclusive contract expir-
ing Nov. %, 1878, between the cor
poration and the cooperative asso-
citation, the corporation receives, with
out cost and free of lien, the entire
crop delivered to the cooperative by
it's members. The Dillon Read an
nouncement says: "The terms Of the
contract will provide that the corr
poration shall receive all raisins from
the cooperative association without
payment therefore and shall deduct
from the proceeds of it's sales all of
its operating, selling and general ex-
penses, including depreciation, inter-
est, dividends on its preferred stock,
and reserve to maintain net working
capital at not less than S2,O00,000.
The balance of sales proceeds is then
to be RENTED to the cooperative as
ISOLATION in lieu of payments for
raisins received and sold"
Growers Patiently Wait.
In other words the growers get
what's left after capital has gobbled
its fill. What is more, the raisir
growers get nothing until their croT
is sold by the corporation except what
syndicate of local bankers chooses
to allow in loans on the warehouse
/ receipts for the crop.

Cd DRAMA CD
Bucking the Roaring Forties'
Eva lie GaHienne Does Ibsen
With More Courage Than
Insight

The master Builder. by Henrik
Ibsen, Civic Repertory Theatre. Star
ring Eva lie Gallienne and Egon
Brecher.
Eva lie Gallienne, turning her back
on prosperous Broadway, has come
down to a tawdry lopsided little thea
ire on 14th Street, and has been try
ing for the last few months to give
the everyday person, who hasn't the
advantage either of college educa-
ton or a seat on the Stock Exchange,
good drama at lew prices. One can't
help admiring her nerve. Her nerve,
in the first place, is expecting New
York to support repertory when the
Theatre Guild and the Neighboring
Playhouse, who sought to know, have
discovered differently. Her nerve, in
the second place, in trying to produce
plays below the geographical dead
line of the theatre. And her nerve,
in the third place, in bucking the
price trust of theatres in ''the roar
ing forties."
wish ! could praise Miss lie Gal
lienne's production of Ibsen's "The
Master Builder" as much as | can her
enthusiasm and courage. But it is
production sadly lacking in distinc-
tion Of any kind without being abso-
lutely bad. Miss LIE Galliennes Hilda
Wangel suffers from too much rap
ture and the use of mannerisms
which distort the character. Egon
Brecher's Master Builder Solness
completely misses the mark. The
play, as had been pointed out by Ib-
sen commentators, is autobiography
sublimated into realistic symbolism.
Solness is lbsen himself, looking
down in his lonely, nostalgia old age
from the bitter tower OF his great
ness. His fame has become as an
omen, threat of ultimate disaster.
THE younger generation is knocking
at the door" instead OF this poetic,
tragic GENERALIZATION of personal de-
SPAR, Egon Brecher presents mid
dle-ciass tradesman, bourgeois and
prosy.
In excuse it might be said that
"The Master Builder" is one of ID
sens most difficult plays to produce.
1t is one OF the subtlest as we'll as
the most personal works of the great
anatomizer OF modern bourgeois So
ciety in its moments of psychopathic
disintegration. So much depends on
the adjustment of nuance and pace,
of tone and gesture that the task be-
comes almost superhuman. The play
suffers at the hands of Miss LIE Cal
ienne and her company.
But this does not altogether damn
the production. would not do Miss
lie Gallienne the discourtesy Of COM
pairing the work of the Civic Roper
tory Theatre with the boiler-plate
drama whose production is one of the
most lucrative trades that any liter
ate young man, impatient with the,
pay Of bond-selling or real estate,
can turn his hand to. A. b. MAGIL.

Nine Opposed.
Only nine senators-all progress
sives-voted against Peppers mo-
ton. LaFollette served notice that
if the bank bill was rushed thru he
would object to every request for
unanimous consent during the re-
mainder of the session to March 4,
and would insist upon strict applica-
ton of all the rules. That is to say,
he would conduct parliamentary
filibuster.
Glass, shaking with rage, walked
over to Wheeler, and they exchanged
remarks. Glass grabbed Wheeler S
arms. Robinson OIL Arkansas, Demo
cratic floor leader and red-hot sup
porter of Mellon and Glass on the
pank issue, rushed to separate them.
Glass went into the democratic cloak
room, gesturing as tho to challenge
Wheeler to combat. Wheeler smil-
ingly returned to his seat; he is near
ly twice Glass size.
Cloture Invoked.
Robinson replied to LaFOllette' S
warning by asking Pepper to file the
cloture petition which mad previously
been signed by nearly two-thirds OF
the senate membership. Pepper
promptly did SO. Under the cIoture
rule, debate on the bank bill was
limited, after Monday noon, to one
hour tor any senator. That means
that after eight OF ten opponents OF
the bill have spoken an nour each,
the Mellon senator's in both parties

Meanwhile Norris began parlia-

ranks, by moving the discharge from
committee OF his resolution to inves-
tigate the sale OF federal appoint
ments by republican party OFFICIALS
and puoic officials. Inc Mellon
democrats favor this investigation
and the administration fears IL.
Robinson, seeing the drift, warned
Reed OF pennsylvania against making
point of order against Norris. Rop-
inson said this was no time in the
session to get angry. Norris as
sured him that he was quite cool, and
would ask no favors as to the rules
Presently Robinson was seen at Nor

Norris was smiling.
