united Latin American opposition to
the Imperialism of the United States.
Havana a Test.
For obvious reasons, the United
States government does not desire
that the Niearaguan question is dis
cussed in the Pan-American Congress.
To have the congress leave the
Nicaraguan question alone would
mean that Uncle Sans right to do
whatever he pleases in the New World
is indisputable. His supremacy is
recognized by the very states oven
which he seeks to rule supreme.
A part of the recent capitulation
of Gales was that he very likely
agreed that the Mexican delegation
to the congress would not raise the
Nicaraguan question.
Now, the attitude of Argentina
may influence the policy of the Next
can delegation.
The Gales government has all
along been accused by Washington of
helping the Nicaraguan rebels. I'm
doubtedly, there exists in Mexico a
widespread sympathy for the Mica
raguan people fighting against Amer
lean imperialism. Therefore the Mexi-
can delegation will be obliged to sup
port any move to raise the Nicara-
guam question.
Z Thus the Havana Congress, which
is staged as the demonstration of
American supremacy, may turn out
to be scene of Uncle Sans defeat.

BIG WAGE SLASH
is DECREED FOR
BRITISH MINERS
166,175 Workers Are
Affected by Cuts

WASHINGTON. Feb. IA. - The
miners in the Durham fields will suf-
fer a wage cut of "a per cent on
March 1st, according to a cable re-
ceived by the Department of Com
merce from its London office. The
reduction will be particularly severe
in view of the already low wages of
British miners.
The Executive Committee Of the
British Miners Federation is planning
to send protest to the Government,
according to the information received
here. A. ]. Cook, secretary of the
Federation, has been the leading fig
ure on the executive in the fight
against wage cuts.
The reduction in the Durham fields
comes on the heels of a rs per cent
wage slash in the Northumberland
district. The total number of miners
in both fields, according to
figures made public last September,
was 166,175.
The minority labor leaders had
pointed to. the recent wage cuts in
many of the major industries of
Great Britain as indicative of the in
of the industrial peace"
made by capitalists like Sir
Alfred Mond and trade union leaders
like J. II. Thomas and Walter Citrine.

GOLDEN WEATHER

While July temperatures on the
Atlantic seaboard have been miti-
gated by rain, the Corn and Wheat
Belts have literally been roasting.
Scores of districts have seen Their
mometer-reading mount to 95 and
100 degrees, as the dancing heat
waves made the countryside seem in
motion. But the Middle West has
taken its scOrching with a smile.
For the heat has saved Missouris
corn crop and greatly increased the
prospects for heavy yield in ad-
joining states. To the westward the
blazing sun has atoned for persist
ent and heavy rains during the lat
ter part of June and dried out the
wheat that was overdue for the har-
vest. Roaring combines are eating
their way through yellow fields,
while long lines of wagons are
hauling millions of bushels of grain
to the waiting cars and elevators
and storage bins. 1t is golden
weather for the farmers and bank
ers and merchants of the Middle
West. And if it continues, there will
be less heard of political and eco
nomic discomfort in that great agri-
cultural empire.

STATE REDUCES ITS
INFANT DEATH RATE

Delaware's infant mortality rate
was 10 per cent lower for the per-
iod of the States cooperation under
the Federal maternity and infancy
act (1922-1926) than for the five
year period prior to cooperation
1917-1921) exclusive of 1918, &C
cording to State figures to be pub
lished by the Childrens Bureau of
the United States Department of
Labor in its annual report of the
administration of the act.
In the rural areas, where the
maternity and infancy program was
mainly carried on, the rate was %
per cent lower for the period of CO.
operation as compared with the pre-
ceding five-year period, the report
shows. These decreased rates pre-
vail even though the year 1918,
when the influenza epidemic made
the rates very high, is excluded
from calculations.
All three counties in the State
had maternity and infancy work
during the year, and through it's
various activities, exclusive of dis
tribution of literature, the State di-
vision of child hygiene reached
more than $500 infants under one
year of age, nearly 10000 pre-schOOl
children, and nearly 1,400 prospect
i've mothers. AS result of the di-
Visions work three community
nurses in two cities are now carry
ing on maternity and infancy work
which was begun with the use of
maternity and infancy funds.
The major activities of the divis-
ion during the year were health
conferences and visits to homes to
give instruction relating to mater
nal, infant, and child care. Physi-
CLANS conducted 276 child-health
So prenatal conferences
and 80 combined child-health and

in the course of which they saw

ers of newborn babies, 3,11O infants
and 6,469 pre-school children.

MARKET LARGE GUAM
Titles OF MILK CO.
OPERATIVELY

Such data as are available indi-
cate that the quantity of fluid milk
handled by cooperative associations
has been increasing rapidly during
the last three to five years. Reports
collected by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture for 1924
and 1927 show a substantial increase
in quantity for the latter year as
compared TO the former.
Approximately 11,00O,0O0,000 lbs.
of fluid milk was marketed through
cooperative associations in 1927.
This quantity is nearly One-fifth OF
the estimated quantity used in con-
tinental United States for house
hold purposes last year.
A large fraction of the total fluid
milk used in some of the larger cit
les passes through cooperative chan-
nels i'll moving from the producers
to the consumers. Such is the case
in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington, New York City, Hartford,
Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, Detroit, Minneapolis, and
other cities.
There are three general types of
cooperative enterprises engaged in
fluid mix. These are
the producers bargaining associa-
ton, the producers distributing as
sociation, and the consumers dis
tributing association. The bargain
ing association functions chiefly i'll
the determination Of the monthly
price to be paid by private distri-
Dutors to the producers. About go
per cent of the fluid milk marketed
comparatively is under the control
of the bargaining associations. 1t
is this type of association which OPP
crates in the larger cities.
The producer-operated distribut-
ing association assemblies, process
SEES, and delivers milk to consumers,
such as hotels, restaurants and pri-
vate families. About 40 per cent of
the milk marketed comparatively is
handled by this kind of producers =
organization, In general these dis
associations operate in the
small cities, although there are pro-
ducers' associations distributing
milk at retail in a few of the very
large cities.
At the present time there is but
one outstanding consumers coop
erative for handling fluid milk. This
IS an association serving the resi-
tents of Minneapolis. The enter
prise buys it's supply of milk from
4 producers association, puts it in
bottles, and distributes it to the
homes of its members and others.

JOHN BROWNS FAME

Whatever his right to immortal
ity, John Brown is still remembered.
Fifty descendants of the famous
abolitionist recently held reunion
on a farm near Akron, Ohio, where
there is a cave in which he is sup
posed to have concealed escaped
slaves. Within a few days of that
memorial, another group met on a
Pennsylvania farm, on which he
once lived, to pay tribute to him.
And no tourist passing through
West Virginia fails to visit the little
federal arsenal in which he was
besieged and captured in 1859.
These are but three of scores of
spots made famous by some associa-
ton with the life and exploits of
the man who failed in his ambitious
effort to free the slaves.
And yet to many of this genera
ton John Brown is merely name
and the hero of CHASTITY song in
which he is pictured as Wondering
in the grave while his soul goes
marching on. Few know the de-
tails of his eventful and unusual
Ill., although Ills Is OIlS VI Tic
strangest and most intriguing of
biographies.
No ordinary man could have pro-
vOked open warfare between two
states, organized a movement to
lead the slaves in instruction and
defed the federal government that
sent it's armies against him. John
Brown might have succeeded in his
purpose to cause a general uprising
of the slaves had his early successes
not made him over-confident and
reckless. He paid for his cocksure-
ness with his neck at Charlestown,
West Virginia, on December 2, 1859.
His biographers picture him as a
fanatical, radical abolitionist, a man
moved by deep religious convictions
and an ambitious man hungry for
power and wealth. He may have
been all three.

Hamilton hated Jefferson. but more

friends to cause Burr's defeat.
Finally on the >thirty-Sxth ballot,

from Vermont, by Encouragement,
absented himself, two from Mary

these states, which had been divid-
