MINERS PROTEST
ANTI-STRIKE LAW
Rally to Program of

PITTSBURGH, March 25.-The

sued the following statement in ref
erence to the declaration of John L.
Lewis, president of the union, that he
would be willing to cooperate with
certain of the coal barons in their at
tempt to put over law preventing
strikes in the mining industry:
"When John H. Jones, president of
the Bertha Consumers Coal Com
pany, testifying before the senate in
vestigating committee in Washington
asked that U. S. Coal Commission
be set up and some action taken to
make strikes impossible, John L.

Workers of America, hastily rose to
his feet to declare that the miners
union will be willing to Cooperate"
with the coal operators to work out

"Thus, while the soft coal miners
are suffering in hunger and misery.
resisting the vicious attack of the
coal operators, engaged in a life-and
death struggle to save their union
and maintain their hard-won condi-
tions, the reactionary officialdom of
the union, led by Lewis, are busy in
Washington preparing plans to ham
string the miners union by putting
letters on the strike weapon thru a
system of compulsory arbitration.
"But while these further acts Of
treachery are being contemplated by
the mislaaders heading the union, the
rank and file Of the U. M w. of A
are turning their eyes to the National
Miners Save-the- Union Conference to
be held in Pittsburgh April 1, where
progressive miners delegates from
every district of the union will gather
to outline a program of action to win
the strike, reestablish the union and
union conditions, and fight any at

With the inspection on the street,

what he is paying fer before he buys
them. Early apples vii soon be

cot from 20 cents to S110 a bushel

growers are engaging III two expert
ments. One of these is to store the
early apples in cold storage. An
other way in which some of the grow
ers are endeavoring to dispose OF
their finest stock is by exporting It to
England. None but red skinned ap-
pies are being shipped abroad be-
cause the Englishman turns up his
nose at a green skinned apple and
will buy only the red ones. Sweet

SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEETING
w. F. Matthews, Jr., President Of the
Club Gives Some Rotary Impressions


Club Gives Some Rotary Impressions
Smyrna Rotary Club held their reg
ular weekly meeting Thursday even
ing, August 2nd, at the Wayside Inn.
Past President Lay Phillips, present.
ed the program Of the evening which
consisted Of a talk On Rotary by
President BILL" Matthews, il. Presi-
dent "Bill'' reIayed to his club mem
bers much of the information and
many constructive ideas he received
from the 5Oth District executive con
ference held at Camp Channon. Union
Groye Lalu, n J. Once again Pres
ident "Bill" called to the attention of
his club how necessary it was for the
individual member to think and act in
the spirit of Rotary to insure the
success Of Rotary International. The
success Of any organization depends
wholly on the acts Of the individual
members and this is particularly true
of the Rotarian, for it is he that
guards the lofty ideals Of Rotary.
The public is quick to judge an o.
ganization by the actions Of its mem
bers, therefore the true Rotarian
must "carry on" in the spirit Of ser
vice before self" and Gle profits most
who serves the best The reSponsi-
bilities Of the Rotarian are many, he
must be a clear thinking, active busi-
ness man Of good character; he must
oblig3te himself in service to his club,
to his fellow man and to his God; he
must say THE world is my country,
to do good is my religion" This is
the true spirit of Rotary and the pur-
pose of the Smyrna Rotary Club is to
have the community feel that in all
things good the local club is behind
them to the limit. Rotary to a COM
munity should be as yeast is to
dough Ii is not the purpose Of any
/ Rotary Club to seek credit for any
+ accomplishment in a community;
! their duty is to assure continued inn
/ provement through such channels
4 where agreeable contact can be made.
Dir. w. S. P. Combs and Harry f.
4 Culver of Middletown. were special
/ guests of the club The object of
their visit was to secure at first hand
definite knowledge of Rotary to carry
back with them Through such men
as DIR. Combs and Mr. Culver it is
most sincerely hoped that before very
long the spirit of Rotary way spring
up like a wonderful flower in a new
community and there continue to
bloom forever. The program for the
next weeks meeting Will be in charge

CROP REGULATIONS IS SEEN AS
SOLVING THE FARM PROBLEM
FARMERS DAY" GATHERING At
U. OF D., NEWARK, YESTERDAY
DIR. Spillman of Farm Management
Bureau of L. S., Says Too Much
Attention is Given Production


Smyrna-Clayton farmers Joined
farmers from all over the state in a
pilgrimage to Newark yesterday to
attend the Farmers Day outing at
the University Farm. Delaware farm
ers were joined by farmers from six
states including Georgia and Cali
folnia. DR. w j. Spillman, from the
Farm Management Bureau of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, was the principal speaker on
the program. He told the represen-
tative crowd of farmers present that
the chief source of the farmers diff
fcuIties at present resides in the fact
that the agricultural science has paid
too much attention to the details Of
increased production per acre and per
animal and not enough attention to
a proper regulation of production in
order to stabilize prices. He said that
'"The man who makes two blades of
grass grow where only one grew be-
/ fore is a benefit to the world" but
fair price for one bushel of wheat
which he formerly received for two
4 bushels is also beneftting the world,
] including himself" The subject Of
DIR. Spillman's address was "Balanc-
ing Farm Production" He stated
4 that since overproduction is one Of
the chief difficulties confronting the
American farmer some effort should
be made to nationally control the
farm output and consequently level
prices. The chief obstacle in the path
that leads to achievement Of this con
dition, he said, is the fact that there
Is more land in the United States un-
der cultivation than is necessary t.
supply the needs of the people. AS
the overproduction Of farm products
increases, he pointed out, the demand
decreases. Prices are affected ac-
cordingly. Five crops in the United
States, he stated, each occupy forty
million acres or more. They are
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and hay
There is no yisable way of doing
away with this overproduction, Or
Spillman said since there are no 9th
er available crops to act as substi
tutes. On the other hand, he pointed
out, the remaining crops occupy for
ty-three million acres and no single
one occupies more than ten millioI
acres. The solution Of the problem
as recommended BY Mr. Spillman, j
the controlling Of the minor crops
Probably the best way to do this h,
said, would be to have the Nationa
Department Of Agriculture and tn
various state colleges distribute liter
ature to the farmers in advance Q
! planting seasons 50 that the crop
! may be regulated to meet the prob
able demand as evident at that time
, The chief objection to this is the diff
: ticulty that would be experienced j
) reaching all Of the farmers. If onl.
: a part of the farmers were reached
; DR.. Spillman said, the plan would no
t operate successfully. The solution 0
! this is the county agent, who woul

Great Need Of Farm Relief Program

"a great ned of the day is a farm
relief program and also an increase IN
the tariff rates on farm products I'M
ported into this country from Canada
and other foreign countries, he said.
Farmers, in general, Mr.. Farmer said,
Are too prone to be satisfied with sell
ING their produce. including fruits, to
brokers who in turn dispose Of it III
countless markets az 4 great profit.
Tha farmers III saHi, should, Nalt IN
advance of taking iii their crops, have
agents in various parts of the country
creating markets for the produce and
have it sold before II is harvested.
Speaking Of the Delaware strawberry
crop as an instance, he pointed out
that large quantities af Strawberries
rOtted in the fields aRd "a warehouses
because a sufficiently large market
wa not available to absorb them.
There are countless communities in
the east that would have been glad to
have purchased these strawberries if
they had been advised in advance that
such " large crop was available, he
said. What the strawberry farmers
i should have done Wa To have organ
lied, sent out agents i'm advance Of the
picking Of the berries tO various com
munities near The big centers and

More Government Research Needed
"There should be more government
v research, he said, to ascertain more
4 uses for farm products. Foreign
farmers are competing with the
American farmers, he said, and some
what successfully, because the tariff
On certain farm products is not suffic-
iently high. He told of situation in

great amount of cream over the bord-
