MEADOWROCK DAIRY AN
NOUNCEMENT

w. X. Bird, proprietor Of the
Meadowrock Dairy, near town, an
nounces he has adopted the latest
improved cap for his milk bottles.
the Kleen Cap" which is great
deal more convenient and sanitary
than the old cap.
No more hunting the. ice> pick,
fork, knife or anything to lift the
cap. or pushing the cap into the neck
OF the bottle, with the milk splash
ing out on you, and making you say
things the milkman does not like to
hear.
To remove the cap, you simply
take hold of the lip with the fingures
and turn it off OF the bottle. Re-
move what milk you need, replace
the cap, which again airtights the
bottle, preventing the milk absorb
ing odors and keeping it perfectly
sweet until needed again for use.
The "Kleen Cap" is a great deal
more sanitary than the old style cap,
as it covers the entire lip Of the bot
tie, where flies might light, or the
cat or dog lick. The top of the bot
tie is also protected by the cap when
handled, even by the milkman,
whose hands may not always be i'm
maculate.
Everyone knows how convenient
it is to grasp the bottle by the top
when handling it, and this new cap
prevents the hand coming in contact
with the lip, hence the lip is clean
when you pour milk from the bottle.
In removing the cap you turn it
or the bottle, thus preventing any
dirt that may have collected on the
cap dropping into the milk.
Another item Mr.. Bird wishes to
impress on users OF milk is that OF
bottles. This is an important and
expensive item, and these new caps
are an added cost, to help cut the
profit, hence the return OF all bottles
will be greatly appreciated.
If those who get their milk from
any of Mr.. Birds supply stations in
town cannot return the bottles to the
station, will notify him, he will
gladly come and get them, as their
loss. necessitating replacement,
means an additional large expendi-
ture.
Look for the new sanitary caps
now on all Meadowrock Dairy bot
ties. and be sure and return the bot
tie after you use the milk from it.

TARiFF ADJUSTMENT ON TO

Washington, April 2s Especially J.
Relief for Eastern Shore tomato-s
growers and Gamers, who find them
selves hard-pressed because Of the
growing Importation Of the Italian
product, may come from Executive:
action, it was made known here to-
day by Hon. T. Alan Goldsborough,
of the First Maryland Congressional
District.
Mr.. Goldsborough, who has made
representations to the United States
Tariff Commission on behalf Of
Maryland farmers and Gamers, is in
receipt of letter from Hon. Alfred
P. Dennis, Merchantmen OF the Tar
iff Commission, announcing that
some action is hoped for on this
problem before the canning season
begins next August"
Tariff adjustment on Italian tomaS
toes was first sought by Mr.. Colds
borough from Congressional action
two years ago. However, the Steer
ing Committee and the Ways and
Means Committee of the House Of
Representatives, both Republican
controlled, refused to act on this
one item alone.
Attacking the problem from
another angle, Mr.. Goldsborough
then solicited the aid of the United
States Tariff Commission, explaining
the problem which confronts Mary
land tomato growers and Gamers.
For two years now the Tariff Com
mission has been gathering data and
studying the problem.
That some tariff adjustment on
the Italian tomatoes is likely, is in
dicated in recent letter Mr.. Colds
borough has received from DR.. Dem
mis-, who is an Eastern Shoreman.
The letter reads in part as follows:
1--WE are getting pretty we'll along
with our tomato investigation. The
domestic costs have been obtained
by our field accountants and we are
about eighty-five per cent along in
obtaining evidence of the Italian
costs from the examination OF in,
voices at the Port of New York.
This material will all have to be
digested, a public hearing held, ana
a report prepared for the President.
1t may be matter Of six months OF
more before the investigation APP
proaches this final stage, though J
am hoping we can get some action
before the canning season next Aug
ust."

accuses Harrington and Fishwick
with having received a stipulated
sum of money in compensation for
their dirty work. Frank Harrington
was exposed as being on Peabody's
payroll. He had to make forced
exit out of the union, but forgot to

him.

Is it surprising that the miners
are in such deplorable condition with

Illinois were>able to obtain for years
a fair wage and human conditions in

an immense increase in productivity

war employment in the industry ha
increased Z per cent while the tota

four times as much as the increase II
the number Of workers employed.
The 62,018 workers who were ex-
plotted in Akron factories during 1927
did not lead an easy life. Much of the
work Of tire building demands grea,
physical exertion; in some of the pro
cesses the workers are wet; in other
the odors and fumes are bad. Then
the factories usually work either two
or three shifts per day-the workers
going on their shifts by turn. Some
times, therefore, the worker goes to
his work at 4.30 a. M; sometimes in
mid-afternoon; sometimes in the eve
ming.
During the boom years of the Ak
ron rubber industry repeated efforts
were made to organize the worker
into labor unions. Thus far the eff
forts have been largely unsuccessful
Among the $4,000 Akron factory
workers the total number of cards
holding trade unionists is probably
under 5000 and the total number of
active trade union workers is prob
ably less than so.

The militancy of the coal miners
of Illinois has been very healthy in
the life Of the miners union. For
years the miners of this state had to
work under the leadership of an ex-
posed bootlicker of the coal operators,
Frank Harrington. Working in con-
junction with harrington was Harry
Fishwicll, then Vice president and now
president of the Illinois miners.
Harrington time and time again be-
trayed the Illinois miners. But in
spite of his conspiracy the militancy
of the miners was always upheld.
Harry Fishwick has at no time
shown sign of hostility to The be-
traying policies Of Harrington. He
appeared very satisfied with the
manner in which Harrington was run
ming the district. According to John
L. Lewis, President of the Interna-
tional Union, Fishwick figured in the
conspiracy between Harrington and
the Lester Strip mine. The con-
spiracy was at that time to let Lester
operate his mine in order to break
the strike. Lewis charges "two prom
inent officers of district II with con-
spring with Lester to let him operate
his strip mine at Herrin." He further

BY GERRY ALLARD

The situation in Illinois as one of
the outstanding states of the United
Mine Workers of America, has
reached an acute stage. The organi-
zation in this district has entered into
the general depression that con-
fronts the entire coal mining popula-
ton. Under the separate agreement
policy large coal operators have
signed up, installing new machinery,
and using every applicable method to
decrease the cost of production. As a
result many miners are being laid
off with the company having the
liberty of choosing its men.
One of the best examples of the
situation is New Orient mine at West
Frankfort, Ill. Formerly some 1900
men worked there. When the mine
reopened under a separate truce the
company had bulletin at the pit
head with all the check numbers of
miners that they did not want. AS a
result of this policy between 700 or
800 men were laid off. The company
installed mechanical leaders in the
rooms that men formerly worked in.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-05-09
is Harry FshWick the President of the Illinois Miners?

Then they. picked the most efficient
men to run them.
Illinois was declared to be the dis
trict of the miners union with the best
conditions. The only think that the
coal operators lived up to in the last
two years of the Jacksonville Agree
ment was the scale. All miners agree
that wages are a dominant factor in
an agreement. Nevertheless, the con-
ditions which miner must work to
earn this amount is also prime fac
tor. Taking up bottoms, rltting tim
bers, in fact all dead work was I'M
paid. Longer hours, speed-ups, part
time work, lay offs, working machines
with great physical efforts for less
money and ETC., were part of the IL
linois miners conditions. In fact all
these things that were governed by
the agreement were neglected by the
coal operators and no efforts were
made on the part of the union of
ficiafs to make them respect that
agreement. Today the Jacksonville
agreement means nothing to the
miners. 1t has been butchered, and
altered so much by fake agreements
that it means nothing in the sense
OF working conditions to the miners.

Workers Party
Picnic Coast

OAKLAND, Cal, April 30.-The
annual Workers (Communist) Par
ty picnic was held recently at East
Shore Park in Richmond, in con-
junction with San Francisco, Berke-
ley, and Richmond units. May Day
was celebrated over a week in adj
vance at this picnic, where about
1000 workers were assembled to
take part in the days festivities.
The Finnish comrades from Berke-
ley were on hand with their usual
supplies of good food in the form of
hot dogs, delicious sandwiches, and
coffee. The more thirsty were able
to quench their thirst with soda
water, ice cream, and who knows
what else. There were plenty of
Greeks on hand, and we all know
what that means. In fact there
was a real international representa-
ton on hand, Slavic, Jewish, Greek,
Armenian, Caucasian, Italian, Rus
sian, ETC., besides the native sons
and daughters, and some real Amer
lean Negroes.
The Young Workers League made
itself conspicuous with Red Letter
Post Office, which was very anus
ing. The Pioneers were busy SELL
ing coupons to raise funds for the
summer camp.
The speakers of the day were
VIM. Schneiderman for the Young
Workers League, E. Levin, organ
izer of District IS, and Oliver Carl
son, the young organizer of District
IL of the Workers (Communist)
Party, who spoke eloquently of the
need for international working class
solidarity, and described his visit to
Russia in 1921 and his meeting with
Lenin, the great leader of the work.

Tire building began as a skilled"
trade. 1t soon became a machine pro
cess with the worker tending the ma
chine. Skilled labor was replaced by
semi-skilled and unskilled labor. For
eigners and Negroes shouldered out
native white workers who insisted on
a higher standard of living. The
makeup of Akron's population at the
time of the last census (1920) is a
striking picture of the forces at work
there. White persons born in the
United States of native parents made
up 500 of the population; white per-
sons born of foreign parents 1890;
foreign-born persons 300; Negroes
2%. There were 121,167 males and
