WESLACO MAN TAKES
ISSUE WITH LOVETT
To The Herald:

10 n herald
The writer was very much amused
at an exhaustive article which ap-
peared in n recent issue of your pa
per quoting G.. r. Lovett. Mr.. Lovett
is evidently n grower Of Duncan
grapefruit. and does not know that
the superior quality Of Valley fruit
was built w on Marsh secdleSs
fruit and that Marsh sccdless "
hardly fit q cat until Dec. /.
He must have read Of the democrat
ization OF our Valley fruit market
by certain cash buyers, who shipped
out some carloads that, while they
passed the required tests. still were
hardly fit to cat, and not as good
az that low grade stuff from Flori-
da. Did you ever hear ri n repeat
order for that kind Of fruit? No.
Even some ears were refused. DO
you think this advertises the Valley
fruit to advantage?
And this will continue If early
shipments Of Marsh are not prohib-
tied. Mr.. Lovett admits that Dun
can fruit is so inferior that il can
not compeet with the Marsh seed
less, and when he say that the Val
ley growers and shippers are in fav-
or Of the Oct. 1 shipments. | be-
lieve he Is in error except for grow
ers Of early Duncans and n few cash
buyers.
There never was a time when y
superior article would not demand a
premium. The writer personally
shipped a carload of Marsh seedless
20 Ohio late in December last year

Also I believe the season closes one
month too early. as the late valsn-
cia oranges are not at their best at

will keep better on the tree than In

passenger cars. That ears powered
by this type Of motor are becoming
extremely popular is demonstrated
by the record breaking sales Of the
new Marmon "6s" aud us" which
we're introduced at this seasons
automobile show.
A glance Mt the race track record
OF Cooper, who now is using his
years OF experience toward the de-
velopment Of Marmon automobiles,
reveals a consistent series Of
achievements and victories which
date back TO the earliest days of
automobile racing. More than TWEEN
ty years ago Cooper began his ca
reer on the race track and jumped
into nationwide prominence when
he won the road race championship
in 1918 by scoring seven consecutive
first places in rs many starts at an
average speed Of better than 70
miles an hour.
Despite his retirement he is among
the first four drivers on the Indian
zpoiis speedway in point of number
of miles driven on the famous two
and-one-half mile brick track, hav-
ing covered q total distance Of more
than $500 miles One of his cut
standing achievements was in 1917
when he surprised the automobile
world by winning the ESQ mile War
Derby on the Chicago speedway.

RACE FIGURE
QUITS TRACK
Earl Cooper Goes to
Marrnon As Expert
mental Chief

Turning from the fascinating at
rnosphere OF the race track to the
more practical occupation of expert
mental engineer, Earl Cooper. q lead
irr figure in automobile racing for
nearly a quarter of q century, Is
now 4 member OF the experimental
staff of at the factory of the Mar
mon Motor Car company. Like
many Of his fellow drivers Of years
gone by, Cooper is utilizing the ex-
perience and knowledge gained on
the race courses Of two continents
in the development Of passenger
automobiles.
Cooper's new association with
Marmon recalls his remarkable rec
ord as an automobile race driver and
also brings back 70 memory the Sc
ries Of outstanding victories that
were won by Marron automobiles
in 1909, 1910 and 1911 and which
were eliminated in the triumph Of
the Marmon Wasp driven by Ray
Harroun in the first 500-mile race on
the Indianapolis speedway, May 30,
1911.
Although he retired from active
racing competition . year or 50
ago Cooper retains q keen interest
In the trend OF modern racing car
design and construction and him
self has pioneered many OF the i'm
~provements that have brought the
modern racing car 70 its present
high state Of efficiency.
Cooper's ability as an engineer
was demonstrated ut the annual
Indianapolis race last Memorial Day
when he entered three front wheel
drive and one conventional drive
automobiles of his own design in
the contest. These Ears were pilot
Cd BY such famous driver. as Bonnie
Hill. Pete Kreis. Bob McDonough and
Jules Ellingboe.
Coopers association with Marmon
and his work in the development 81
Marmon straight-eight automobiles
are direct evidence OF the strong in
fluence OF automobile racing on the
design and construction Of passen-
ger cars. 70 is interesting to note
that beginning in 1894 every car
that finished the famous Indianapo-
rs race was Of the straightforward
design These cars. despite their
small piston displacement. have at

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-11-13
By CHARLES MITCHELL

Number 8, Vol. /, of the Win
chester Worker" issued by. the
Workers (Communist) Party Shop
Nucleus in the Winchester Ammuni-
ton plant of New Haven, Conn.,,
came out three days before the day
of the presidential election, as a
special election edition in $500 cop
les and was well distributed at the
gates of the big plant.
The Winchester Worker" which
has already acquired the name "The
Workers Paper" is monthly bull
letin, dealing with the conditions in
the shops, wages, hours of work,
etc. It has become so popular
among the workers in the Winches-
ter plants that when the last issue
was distributed they waited for it,
grabbed it out of the hands of the
distributors like hot cakes, as fast
as they were able to hand them out,
The Winchester Worker passes as
one of the best shop papers issued
by the Workers Party in the entire
country, both from the point of view
of makeup and in content. The fol-
lowing is brief review of the last
issue:
First of all the front page of the
bulletin is made up in such a way
as Immediately to attract the atten-
ton of the workers the moment they
take glance at it. Second, it car
ries the same makeup from month
to month, so that when the Win
chester workers who saw it the
month before are able at once tt
recognize it. The feature of the
front page consists of drawing Of
husky worker (Which, by the way
has been copied by many other shor
papers throughout the country
carrying huge flag upon which
are inscribed demands for the work
ers in Winchester, as follows;
~ Eight-hour day; (2) No more
piece work; (3) Abolition of the
speed up SYSTEM (4) Increase in
wages; (5) Time and a half TO,
overtime; (6) Equal pay for equal
work for women.
Below this is the slogan: "Organ-
ization Is Power!" AS background
to the flag is seen a mass of fac
tories and shops, chimneys anc
smoke, etc. 1t is a very beautiful
