BITTER ORDEAL

Senator Holly CenSured by

BY ROSCOE b. FLEMING,
Times Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Senator
George w. Norris of Nebraska faces
one of the most dramatic moments
of his life next Monday night in
his old home town, McCook, Neb.,
where he will speak for Governor
Alfred E. Smith.
Bitter feeling has been aroused in
the strongly Republican town by
Norris recent speech declaring for
Smith. Sixteen Republicans drafted
a telegram saying they "could not
believe" that Norris was going to
come out for Smith and appealing
to him to end the 'scandaIous rum
ors." This was before his Omaha
speech.
Norris in reply will speak in Nc
Cook the night before election and
will appeal to his fellow toWnsmen
to support smith. 1t is predicted
here that strenuous attempt will
be made to defeat him for the SEN
atorship in 1880 because of his
stand.
Washington also is wondering
whether be will be- deprived of his

ASK CONGRESS-
TO RAISE ANTE
ON FLOOD WORK
Exhaust Funds by July ]
of Next Year for
n Mississippi.
BY G. ]. LILLEY
Times staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Con-
gress will be asked for additional
money to carry on flood control in
the Mississippi valley soon after 1t
conveneS in December, the appro-
priation of $24,000,000 for the first
year being nearly spent.
Work has been progressing so
rapidly that funds will be exhaust
ed by next July l and this Congress
must act If flood work is to con-
tinue after that date, according to
war department officials.
A report has just been issued
showing progress to date. It shows
that IS contracts have been let for
levee work, bank revetment work is
being pushed, and plans are in
course Of preparation for completion
Of Bonnet Care spillway.
Surveys and maps are being made
in all sections covered by the flood
control act and engineer offices
have been enlarged in order to ex-
pedite the work, according to the
report. In addition aid has been
given families in the valley country,
and crevasseS along the main river
and its tributaries have been closed
during the summer months.
Work has been co-ordinated be-
tween the army engineers and the
Mississippi river commission so
that it is being handled more eff
GENTLY than ever before, according
to. Major General Jadwin and other
officials.
Prior to adoption Of the flood act,

Blaine of Wisconsin has followed his
lead.
Norris office here has received
many kilograms and letters since
his speech. There isn't any half
way point. They are either in
strong praise or strong condemna-
ton.
One man wrote him from Arizona
that he was glad Norris was out Of
the Republican party, because for
many years his (the, writer's) only
dissatisfaction with the party was
the fact that Norris was in it.
Many wires came from Michigan,
New York, Massachusetts, and other
eastern states. All these were in
praise.

APRIL AND SPRING.

Signs of spring! The signs of spring are legion but never any mention of a sign of summer, fall or winter. Why does one watch for and believe in signs of the advent of only spring, unless it be because no other season is so welcome and no other sign so easy to believe? One believes in the signs one wishes to come true.
 John Burroughs observed that spring extends from the middle of March to the middle of June, coming to a close only with the unfolding of the last leaf. But April is the very heart and soul of spring. It is as'the month of spring that the poet sings of April:
 And now comes April, ming ling smile and tear,
 Each hour a shower, each hour a zenith clear.
 Her blended hope and sym pathy so vast
 Smiles for the future, weep ing for the past.
 April was the month of won- ders and immeasurable joy for those immortal naturalists Thoreau, Whitman, Burroughs, Hudson and Wordsworth. The signs of spring they observed during this month of thirty days were not mere fantasy or guess-work prophecy. They knew the secrets of nature and that spring is her busy season and April her housekeeping month.

a general move in the market to carry such stock (which may be of very little value) to higher levels. The wiser man will first thoroughly investi- gate the position of the com pany in which he buys stock, and he will therefore be un- affected by any temporary lulls in the market, because he feels certain that his stock has intrinsic merit.
 "All markets have their peak, and it is often possible to buy in a good stock which has drop ped down from it's peak level, due to heavy profit taking, as it can be fairly certainly felt that on the next upward move the stock will, if -..backed by real merit, be carried through to a higher level than it before reached"

HOW TO PICK
 MINING SECURITIES.

A market letter issued recen- ly by Denhigh, Dickenson & Geratred, Ltd, contains some excellent advice to people who trade in mining stocks and also outlines a method of an- alysis which will eliminate much of the uncertainty of such ventures. Although pre- sented as a means of picking British Columbia mining se- curities, the system will apply with no less effectiveness to
Hyder weekly herald., 1928-04-21
NOTICE To ADVERTISERS
all mining ventures.
 The article follows:

The article follows:
 "The three essentials to be looked for in a new issue are, the mine, the money and the men," says the letter. "He can investigate the mine by study ing the reports, if available, of an independent engineer, and the name of the engineer should be checked up to define his standing in the mining world.
 Reports of the Ministry of Mines are also freely available, and these reports should be carefully studied, as they are of very great value indeed to the investor, being from an en- tirely independent source.
 'The second thing to examine is the financial resources of the company, what the proceeds of the issue will bring to the com- pany's treasury, and whether such we'll be sufficient to undertake development and prove, or disprove the mine. Thirdly, the personnel of the directorate should also be care fully examined to make sure that this includes men who are familiar with mining in all its aspects.
 With these three particulars checked up satisfactorily the investor can feel reasonably sure of getting a run for his money. Mining is a business, but in mining there is an ele- ment of speculation which is not present to the same extent in industrial investments; be- cause, whatever the surface showings may be, there is al- ways the risk that nature may have deceived the prospector, and that these surface show ings will not be found to con- -inue to any great depth.
 "In buying listed stocks the investor should make sure that le is buying stock in a com oany which is devloping it's 'esources and working in a >usiness-like way. We have fnown many cases of people buying stock for the simple 'eason that it is cheap and be- cause they were depending on

BLOODY VOMIT is
HUDSON FLUIDS
EFFECT ON GIRLS
Company Fires Every
Sick Ernploye

DETROIT, (By MaiD.-I want 20
tell you some of the conditions In
Dept. 825 of the Hudson Factory
and I hope you will expose them. In
this department the girls have to use
certain fluid that they clean the
glue off the cardboard panels with.
That fluid has a smell like ether, and
it makes them vomit so hard that
they vomit blood, and some of them
faint and have to be carried out.
Mr.. Miller, the superintendent,
came through and said that there
was no smell at all, the girls just
imagined it. When the forelady got
sick and had to stay home it was a
different matter. Then they had 2
ventilators put in, but it don't mean
anything. If the girls got together
and walked out they would quit u.s.
ing it. They did not use it before.
In Dept. $40 the percentage on the
work has been so small that where
the girls used to make $50 and $32
week, now we only make $24 and
$23, and we turn out twice as much
work. If any girl gets sick and
dares to stay out even one day, she
is fired the very next day. That is,
unless she happens to be one of the
forelady's pets-then IT'S a different
matter.
Our new head forelady, Ann Mar
tin, is regular tyrant for work. She
only has to look at the girls and they
work like the devil so that they won't
get laid off. But it doesn't make
any difference, for the slightest ex-
cuse they fire you. You work like
the dickens and don't know what for.
They promise you a big percentage.
When pay day comes around we get
ITO and 165 percent and we turn out
so much work that when we get home
we're too tired and sick to eat. After
and breathing that poison
Gus fluid the girls find it impossible
to eat. They do nothing but vonait.
When you do that they tell you TO
drink buttermilk and you will be all
right the next day. One day 90 girls
were out sick. Those who can afford
it quit, those that can't have to work
and poison their lungs for nothing.

PUEBLO, Colo, (By MaiD.-lt IS
the policy Of the trade union Official
dom not to try to organize the I'M
organized workers or the unemployed
workers. If we expect to accomplish
anything, we must start to organize
the workers into mass industrial or
CARNATIONS under Communist control.
The organizers and officers OF
trade unions should put in all their
time in union work and should not
receive more than the average wage
in industry.
The city officials here in Pueblo,
are arresting all the unemployed
workers and sending them to jail and
later deporting them to the city limits
where they tell them to keep on
going.
This is what we can expect as
long as we have no power and are
unorganized. I hope the Workers
Party will act in this crisis.
