l.. >. DUPONT to Finance construction
of $780, 900 Consolidated School Edifce
Immediate construction of the new
combined consolidated grammar and
high school in Seaford, to which cause
Pierre S. dupont has offered to loan
100000 was formally authorized at a
meeting Of the trustees Of the Della
ware School Auxiliary Monday morn
ing at their offices at the dupont
Building. The meeting was attended
BY DR.. Joseph H. Odell, Mrs. w. X.
DUPONT, Henry P. Scott, A. J. Taylor,
chief engineer Of the Auxiliary, Ger
aid Montaign, auditor, and Mary G.
Hunter, secretary and treasurer. The
Auxiliary is working in conjunction
with the Delaware School Foundation
in the construction of this school, by
providing the architectural and en-
gineering service, while the Founda-
ton advances the money. The neces-
sity of rushing the construction of the
new school to replace the one recently
burned, was stressed. 1t was pointed
out that at present time the District,
in order to keep the pupils in the
classroom is having to overcrowd and
over-work other schools and their IA
cilities. Mr.. Taylor stated that it is
planned to have the new school finish
ed by next February in time for the
last school term. It was also an
nounced that the Seaford district will
make an effort at the next Legislature
not only to have the full amount of
the 100000 loaned BY Mr.. DUPONT for
the school, returned to him, but also
to have combined one or more Of the
districts about Seaford, 50 that stu
dents nearby may be allowed to make
use of the new school. The plans for
the school have been drawn by Gull
bert and Betelle, of Newark, N. j., ar
chitects for the auxiliary. The Sea
for School district, in contemplation
of the construction Of a new school
building to relieve congestion exis-
tent prior to the recent fire, had pur-
chased the site in North Seaford upon
which the new school is to be built.
The district has nearly exhausted its
bond limit and without the aid Of Mr..
dupont the Auxiliary and the Founda-
tion, would be forced to continue IN
der present conditions for some time.
The insurance money on the old build
ing will be used to purchase equip
ment for the new school.

MILLION FOR c. & d. CANAL
Program Of Improvement includes
Two New Concrete Roads

An improvement and maintenance
program for the Chesapeake and Del
aware Canal area, aggregating an ex-
penditure by the Federal government
Of $1,000,000 will be carried out dur
ing the year after July l, by the =. S.
District Engineers office in Whining
ton. Millions of dollars for this and
similar work in all parts Of the United
States were apportioned by Major
General Edgar Jadwin, chief Of army
engineers, for rivers and harbors inn
provement. Among the important
projects involved in the operations in
this district, according to Colonel
Howell will be the construction of two
4-mile concrete roads on each side Of
the canal from Bethel to Chesapeake
City. When the canal was converted
into a sea level waterway, the old
bridge across the canal at Bethel was
razed. The citizens there complained,
and later an agreement was entered
into by the citizens and the govern
ment, that the improved roads be
constructed from Bethel to Chesapeake
City, where an improved bridge spans
the canal The construction of the
roads will save the government thous-
ands Of dollars, as a modern bridge
across the canal at Bethel would have
cost about S25O,OO0. A large portion
Of the S1,OOO,OOO allotment will be
spent for keeping the canal clear Of
shoals and landslides which are inn
minent. The new Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal has been a costly pro
ject about S1O,OO0,0OO having been
spent upon the reconstruction alone.
Landslides and the appearance Of
shoals have kept the engineers office
busy during the past year. The chief
of Army Engineers office has allotted
S125,000 for the maintenance Of the
Wilmington harbor at the Marine
Terminal. This work consists largely
in keeping the channel clear of sedi-
ment. For the maintenance Of three
bridges across the Assawamon Canal,
from Chincoteague bay to the Della
ware bay, the government has allotted
$500. These bridges span what is call
ed "a mere ditch with not more than
a foot Of water" Another large pro-
ject for which funds were awarded
was that on the Delaware river from
Philadelphia to the sea, the War De
partment setting aside S2,150,000 for
this.

SUNoCO MOTOR FUEL POPULAR
Discriminating Motorists Find 1t Most
Dependable Gas

The Sun Oil Company, whose "Blue
Sunoco" Motor Fuel made such a
phenomenal showing this past year, is
presenting to discriminating motorists
Sunoco, the improved golden colored
motor oil. The outstanding feature
of this product is its absolute purity
which is necessary for perfect lubrica-
tion, and also its unusually high Wis
cosities, or to be less technical, its ex-
tremely heavy body. Mr.. Ludlow
Clayden, Chief Research Engineer Of
the Sun Oil Company, is responsible
for the statement that no other motor
oil equals the high viscosity Of Sunoco
recommended for the different types
of motor cars. Since high speed,
high compression motors are flooding
the market today, it takes an unusual
ly pure and heavy oil to prevent un-
usual wear in the pistons. Some 9TH
er refineries are also making their oils
heavier, but Mr.. Clayden states that
their laboratory tests prove that no
viscositties are so high as that of
Sunoco, the distilled motor oil. The
Sun Oil Company which is a strong
believer in newspaper advertising, is
using newspapers again this year to
tell the public of the unusual qualities
of its splendid products. The Sun Oil
Company's advertising is always con

Mrs. Reinhart had been missing the

AS beginning, in the reforestation

Forestry Commission has made
most auspicious start. Already, $500
trees, two years old, with the excep-
tion of black walnut plants have been
distributed among eighteen persons
being sold to them at a reasonable
rate, below the actual cost Of the
trees. Norway Spruce was the var
iety in demand, with Red Pine, Scotch
Pine, japanese Larch, European Larch
and Black Walnut ranking practically
as named. At this time the active Of
ficials of the State Forestry Commis-
sion are busy getting the state nurs-
cry near Milford started. This is a
plot containing three acres and has
been surveyed and staked off for the
seed beds. 1t is proposed to plant 2O,-

Who Is This Liam Cosgrave?
An IMPERIAL Rubber. Stamp
By Fred Ellis

Numerous others have died from in
sanity and from the inhuman treat
ment inflicted upon them.
The industries of Ireland have been
given no chance to develop. Every
thing has been placed under the stiff
ling control of British capitalists. The
Gaelic speaking peoples of the west
ern section are being forced from
the homes which their forefathers
built up. They are being starved out
and driven from their land.
Women and babies are starving in
Dublin, Cork, Limerick and in other
cities.
Yet this does not prevent the Saor-
stat Eireann from paying the gov
ernor general a sum equivalent to
$4,000 year in salary. Imagine
Ireland with a population of but A.
100000 paying its governor sum five
times that received by the average
governor of one of the United States.
In spite of the existing poverty and
starvation, Cosgrave has had the
brass to state that Ireland is "pros-
perous."
Unfortunately some of the leaders
of the Irish Labor Party support Cos
grave in his infamous acts, the only
exception being Jim Larkin. Larkin
seems to be fighting earnestly for the
interests of the workers and farmers.
This fact must be recorded even
though l do not agree with his policy
The official reception to Cosgrave
should be boycotted by all liberty
loving workers. This traitors hands
are drenched with the blood of Ire
lands fighters.

Down with Irish Slave State!

NrR. LIAM COSGRAVE, president of
An the Saorstat Eireann (Irish Free
State), is coming to the United States
shortly for visit. Under the cir
cumstances, I feel, that the American
workers should have some of the de-
tails of his career.
Mr. Cosgrave on his arrival here
will undoubtedly pretend to speak in
the name of the Irish People" Yet
as everyone knows he is nothing more
than rubber stamp for Downing
Street, London.
Betrayed Irish Freedom.
His part in the Easter Rebellion of
1916 when he joined Michael Collins,
Arthur Griffith, Riobard Barton,
Duffy and the other traitors in sign
ing the Infamous Anglo-Irish Treaty,
is likewise well-known.
Since then he has done everything
to prove to his masters in Downing
Street that they can depend upon his
support. Cosgrave has been the in
strument for suppressing the indie
pendence movement much more eff
fectively than the British themselves
could have done it. Subsequent to
the battle of the Four Courts, Cos
grave and Kevon O'Higgins contin-
ued the slaughter Of the republicans
O'Higgins was not alone traitor
himself but traitors blood flowed in
his veins from an equally treacherous
ancestry. For he is a descendant of
Sham Squire O'Higgins, the man who
betrayed General Patrick Sarsfield at
the battle of Limerick.
Militants Murdered.
Some of the foremost militants of
Ireland have been murdered by the
traitors now in control. Over ten
thousand have been thrown in prisons.

MOSCOW, (By Mail).-The latest
statistics show that there are about
100000 workers in Mexico, OF whom
100000 are peasants, and 2,00U,O00
industrial workers. These statistics
must, of course, be accepted with
great caution, remembering that the
ties between the industrial workers
and the villages are still very firm in
Mexico, and the difficulty often eX-
perienced in placing workers IN either
of these groups. The Mexican work
ers axe fairly well organized in the
following organizations: Mexican Con-
federation OF Labor (C.R.O.M.), Cen
eral Confederation of Labor and In
dependent Workers, Miners and
Railwaymen's Unions. In addition TO
this there is a National Peasants
League, uniting agricultural COM
munes, most of which arose after the
introduction of agrarian reform.
The Crom leaders claim that their
organization has a membership of
100000, but this is not the case.
Although it has been found impossible
to arrive at exact figures indications
are that it has membership of
slightly more than half a million
workers and peasants. The founda-
tons of the Crom were laid down by
the so-called Home of the World
Worker" one-tine revolutionary or

Mexico and p. A. F. of L.
The Crom has now relinquished it's
revolt tionary traditions. Its leader
ship is in the hands of a group Of
reforrnists, openly supported by the
government in their seizure of lead
ing posts in the Confederation. The
Crom is getting into ever closer
touch with the Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor (P. A. F. of L., until
it has practically become nothing but
docile tool in the hands Of this
agency of American imperialism.

government assistance. The influence
of the Communist Party in the Crom

has been in the hands of pseudo an
archo-syndicalists. Both the govern
ment and the Crom wage a campaign
against the G. C. l., endeavoring to
IDENTIFY their members with the Com
munists and to prove that "the Left
Wing of the Labor Movement is play
ing into the hands of reaction"
The G. c. L. belongs to the an
archist Berlin International, with
which fairly regular relations are
maintained.
Transport Workers Pay.
T he independent organizations
unite about $4,000 members. Of these
5000 are members OF the oil work
ers' unions, 10000 are members of the
Miners Federation and about $4,000
members of the Transport Workers
Federation.
That of the transport workers would
be the strongest trade union organi-
Zation, were it not for the internal
breach between the working class
aristocracy and the rank-and-file. The
remarkable labor conditions prevail
ing in Mexico, while admitting of
wretched pay for lower-grade en-
ployees and workers, have promoted
engine drivers into a sort of aristo-
cratic caste, in receipt of fabulous
wages. The minimum pay established
by the union for engine drivers comes
to about 1925 per month. The cause
of this high pay is to be found in the
fact that during the frequent revolu-
tons the various military authorities
required engine drivers for the trans
port of their troops.
At the close of the civil war
Gales government was forced, I'M
der United States pressure, to return
the railways to their former (private)
owners, leading, Of course to a great
fall in wages. The Transport Work
ers' Federation decided to counter
with strike which was lost owing to
the federation's internal weakness and
bad strike leadership, the Crom play
ing no small part in its suppression.
AS result many railwaymen were
thrown into the streets and formed
several political groups aimed at the
support of Obregon's candidature for
the presidency, in the hope that he
will get work for his electors. The
most important of these political
groups is the Omitted Railwaymen's
Party"
Revolutionary Elements.
Although the autonomous organi-
cations are for the greater part in
close touch with local politicians and
sometimes under the influence of the
governors of states, they are not with
out reliable revolutionary elements.
Indeed many of the unions are COM
pletely under Communist leadership.
Aspirations towards trade union unity
are comparatively strong in the
autonomous organizations and t h e
Communist Party is doing its utmost
to aid the practical realization of this
unity.
