in many New York industries are I'M
employed and the wages of consid-
cradle section in all industries has
been reduced at least 1914 per cent.
This was the outstanding revelation
( at the conference attended by COM
mittee of charity organizations, well
fare societies and others appointed by
the Welfare Council of N. Y. City as
well as representatives of the New
York State Federation of Labor and
the Central Trades and Labor Council.
Labor Officials VIII Not Act.
"There. has been no excitement over
the unemployment situation" Joseph
P. Ryan, president of the Central
Trades and Labor Council, ostated.
'SWe have not been concerned about
the matter thus far. But a certain
branch of the labor movement has
taken up the issue and I want to say
something about this" Without men
tioning it by name, this reference to
the left wing was clear. ~ have just
come up from down stairs" Ryan
continued, "and there met demon
stration of unemployed workers car
rying signs such as Bread or Work.
I wish to say here that we are entire
ly opposed to the movement. We have
every confidence that AL. Smith will
do the right thing. I want to make
myself clear in this because someone
might think that we had organized
the demonstration"
This remark brought forth consid-
cradle laughter from the group Of
charity and publicity politicians, sal
walton army pan-handlers and Y. M.
G. A. fund raisers.
s7 Would Appeal To Bosses.
John Sullivan, representing the
State Federation of Labor, caused
bit of additional merriment by advo-
eating "a move with which we had
great success in 1921, an appeal to the
landlords of the city to start their
spring cleaning early" Sullivan
stated that he believed that fully 40
per cent of the organized workers in
many industries were now unem-
ployed. He said the machine was to
blame for unemployment and thought
that CAL. Smith would be able to do
good deal for us"
In opening the hearing Commits
sioner Hamilton read the letter from
AL. Smith who had ordered the SIN
vestigation." "This conference is only
survey" Hamilton said. Gail the
data which we gather will be turned
over to the governor"
DIR. Eugene B. Patton, director of
statistics for the Labor Department,
testified to the general conditions of
acute unemployment. Although there
never has been census of unemploy-
inent in this or in any other state, he
announced, the facts available show
that everywhere in the United States
conditions are approaching in serious
ness the worst months in 1920 and
1921.
AS Bad as 1921.
The employment index for January,
according to Patton, was 81, figure
derived after taking June 1914 as 100.
The lowest at any time since was SO
in June 1921. In other words, condi-
tions are very nearly as bad or even
worse if allowance is to be made for
those workers who have been elm
mated by the regular machine dis
placement process going on very ra-
pidly in industry, Patton said. Other

The obvious concentration of strong
arm men yesterday by the right wing
of the cloakmakers' union, in front of
and near the shop of Lashowitch and
Company, PAT w. 37th ST., in order
to prevent the workers from going to
work, and in order to compel them to
Register in the Sigman "union,"
failed to accomplish its purpose.
Is Third Attempt.
At the office of the left wing Joint
Board it was learned that this is the
third attempt to force registration on
the workers of this firm. The So
called Joint Board of the right wing
had sent a number of thugs to this
shop several days ago. They then
numbered about 80. The workers in
the shop drove them off. They came
again the next day, their numbers in
creased to about so, but again they
were driven away. After a straining
of every resource they succeeded in
marshalling a squad of more than rs.
Yesterday they failed again.

the Joint Board last night, under
stands what a fraud these drives
are. Instead of making an attempt
to organize the open shops that flood
the trade, the right wing is trying to
stop work in every shop where union
conditions are still enforced" it con-
tinued.
Call For Pickets.
All the cloak and dress makers are
called upon by the Joint Board to
come to the Garment Center near
37th st. and Seventh Ave. early Mon
day morning to help picket the shops
that are now on strike.

No Distinctive Flag
for Vice Presidents

There Is no vice presidents flag
authorized at the present time. In
March, 1915, vice presidents flag
was adopted for special Occa-
sion during the illness of Presi-
dent Wilson, when Vice President
Marshall visited the U. S. S. Colo
RADIO (now the q. S. 5. Pueblo) at
the opening OF the Panama-Pacific
exposition In San Francisco. This
flag was manufactured by the navy
yard, Mare island, and flown from
the main masthead of the. Colorado
during the stay of Vice President
Marshall on board. 1t consisted OF
white flag emblazoned with the
arms of the United States, which
at that. time was, similar to the
Presidents flag, which was q blue
flag emblazoned with the arms OF
the United States. At the con-
clusion of the visit of Vice Presi-I
dent Marshall the flag was present
ed to HIM There has only been
one other use of a vice presidents
flag. This was on October -,
1919, when Vice President Mar
shall accompanied the king of the
Belgians ON board the Mayfiower
for a trip to Mount Vernon. The
flag used in this case was the same
as that described, above.

Unable to Liue EUen .
Hours Without Water

The most amazing race of hui
man beings is undoubtedly the Ell
Moro, tribe of "fishmen," who
inhabit the desert wastes border
ing Lake Rudolf in Kenya colony,
Africa. This tribe represents the
only known specimens of SEMI
amphibious people, and it is Curl
GUS fact that any tribesman dies
If he is kept without water for
about three hours. AS rule they
drink every hour during the day,
for even an hour and a half with
out water causes cracking and
bleeding of the lips. The FL Moro
tribesmen spend their days swim
ming in the waters of Lake Rudolf,
and fishing from frall RATS con-
structed with palm branches. Fish
Is almost their only diet, and they
have no opportunity of varying
their menu unless they are for
tunate enough to spear hippo
pOtamus. The water of Lake Ru-!
dolf is undrinkable to anyone but
the Ell Moro, for it contains large
quantity Of soda and has an OBJ
jectionable taste. The proportion
of soda in that lake increases year.
Iy, and it is believed to be this
fact that has caused the "fishmen"
to become a defOrmed race.

Reception Wiped Out
All Bitter Feelings

Some of Whistlcr's personal
enemies I'm England had directed
pretty harsh criticism against him
and his work, 50 when he was In
vited to attend as guest Of honor q
dinner at the Cafe Royal in Lon
don the artist thought it would be
a good occasion to reply to his de-
tractors. especially considering
that those attending the banquet
and its sponsors were members OF
the Chelsea Art club, source OF
some of the attacks.
A. Henry Savage Lander, much
with Whistler in those days, in his
"AIemoirs of An Explorer" re-
lates how Whistler rehearsed to
him that afternoon an extraor-
dinarily witty speech full OF
barbed shafts directed at his per-
sonal enemies.
But at the banquet his fellow
artists so lionized him and the
applause when he got to his feet
was so thunderous and evidently
sincere that Whistler, deeply
touched, wavered, his knees trem-
bled and his voice was so unsteady
that it was difficult to hear the few
banal remarks that he actually
made. Trembling, he sat down,
tears in his eyes. not word of his
carefully prepared speech uttered.

price. This means that the farm
ers in the Hollandale country re-
ceived a quarter, of "a million dol
lars for onions In I September and
will get from $85, 900 to 500, 900
more for onions this month.
In September also the farmers
of that locality shipped 20 carloads
of carrots at an average of $216
"a car; so; cars of cabbage at an
average of 500 car, and 200 car
loads of potatoes.
WE We're pleased" said R. A.
Wolgamot, vice PRECEDENT of the Al
bert Lea Farms Company, "that
we were able to- get for our pota-
toes, net to growers here, an aver
age price of 40 cents bushef dur
ing September. This was due to
the fact that our potatoes are well
graded, attractively packed, and
such a market having been created
in the cities for Hollandale brand
that we are able to get such prices
as these when most of the potatoes
in the state are being sold at about
40 cents hundred pounds. This
price advantage is tremendous
help in a year like this when there
is a big crop and prices are neces-
sarily low.
Farmers on the tract are Dig
ging just as hard as they can dig
and we feel sure that at this time
that we will have from 1,250,OO0 to
100000 bushels. of potatoes.
Yields are running as high as 400
bushels to the acre" :.
Potatoes comprise the biggest
crop in the Hollandale area and
concerning Investigation Mr.. VOL
gamot says: every farmer at Hol-
landale who has properly diversi-
fed his crops ana has small acre
age of onions, carrots ami cabbage
in addition to his potatoes is go
ing to have satisfactory year be-
cause the onion price is high. Some
Of our onions have been sold dur
ing the last week for SO per hun
dredweight. Carrots and cabbage
are both a good price. Potatoes
are the only crop produced at Hol-
landale that is not going to show
very satisfactory profit in 1925"
But these are not all and Mr..
Wolgamot mentions celery, too.
'"The celery crop has been good
and shipments by all of our celery
growers have been usually heavy.
There is an increasing demand for
Hollandale celery, partly due to
the fact that we are enabled to
put it into the hands of the whole
salers in fine condition and always
very fresh" "

Paul bought 81 acres of land on the
south shore of Lake Emily which
had been developed as a hunting
pass by building the point out $50
feet. They extended it to 500 feet.
One of the owners agreed to go out
and shoot some ducks on this point
while the game warden was present
so that he could make a technical
arrest. The warrant was sworn
out before Justice Frank f.. Reed,
N Glenwood. The hearing will be
on October 20. If the defendent
is convicted an appeal will be
taken to the district court, and
eventually to the supreme court in
order that the law may be clari-
fed.
Wealthy men are, buying up or
leasing practically all the good
hunting places in 2the state,ss and
developing them at great expense.
If this system continues it will
mean in a short time the extinction
of public shooting places.
The statutes permit the location
of permanent blinds "when located
on land" Permanent blinds on
these artificial points do not con-
stitute land within the meaning
of the statute. On October 10,
1926, the attorney general gave an
opinion in which he said: 81 do
not think that the artificial parts
of these "points" constitute ''land''
within the meaning of the section.
"Land" means natural land, or at
most, in addition artificial land
lawfully created. If Gland" means
more. than that there is nothing
to prevent this and other public
waters from being crfsscrossed with
strips of Gland" with a duck hunt
err every six feet or, Shooting ducks,
in the final analysis upon open
water"
Local sportsmen will watch with
interest the outcome of the test. If
the supreme court upholds the
game and fish commission, it will
cut off a great deal of the advant-
age the wealthy man now has in
the shooting of water fowl.-sOsa-

Freedom County Farmers
Ship 449 Cars Of Onions
Hollanders Developing Reclaimed
Land Near Albert Lea are Get
ting Splendid Returns

Reduced potato yields this year
in the Hollandale drained farm
area, Freedom county,, due; to alb
normally excessive rainfall in July
and August, does not mean that
farmers of this famous agriculture
area are without crops this year.
The onion crop has been large and
is bringing high returns; carrots
ar d cabbages yielded we'll and are
bringing good price, and the po-
taatoes are bringing a higher price
than had been expected.
With $500 acres of potatoes
planted in the Hollandale area this
season, the yield is going to be be-
tween 1,25O,000 and 100000
bushels, although before the heavy
August rains a yield of 2,250,000
bushels had been looked for, &C
.cording to farm leaders. 1t is now
certain they say, that the potato
crop will bring 100000 to $780,
600, with a possibility of more if
potatoes that are stored bring a
better price later.
~ During September farmers of
the Hollandale area shipped 449
cars of onions at an average price
of $500 a car. The rest of the
onion crop, about $50 cars, is be-

Mayo Tells Of Plans for
Cancer Research Institute
Institution in Chicago to Coordi-
nate Work of Scientists-De-
tails Being Worked Out -

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Dr Charles
HI. Mayo, noted Rochester, Mimi,
surgeon, speaking before the
American Public Health associa-
ton, announced today plans for es-
tabllshlng a cancer research instl-
tute in Chicago where the expert
mental work, being conducted on
cancer throughout the country may
be coordinated. The institute
would be both a clinical and re-
search headquarters. Scientists
, would study the worlds expert
ments and cancer specialists and
surgeons would apply the results
on cancer sufferers.
"Details of the plan for the new
institute are being worked out by
committee of 10 distinguished
medical leaders,. DIR. Mayo said
These are DR.. Hugh Cummings,
surgeon general of the United
States public health service; DIR.
Gideon Wells, DIR. William A,
Pussy, DR.. Ludwig Hektoen, DR..
Frank Billings, DIR. Gilbert, DIR /.
Fitzpatrick, DIR. L. l.. Macarthur,
DR.. Frank Morton, DIR. John E. Tu-
tie, president of the Illinois Medi-
cal society, and DIR. Herman N.
Bundesen, former Chicago health
commissioner. -
DR.. Maude Slye of the University
of Chicago presented records of her
experiments with mice, showing
that cancer is hereditary but can be
eliminated by proper breeding. DIR.
Mayo revealed that he had pro-
'duced cancerous growth on plants
Strawberries, roses, trees-in his
Rochester garden. He said he had
trained plants to resist the disease
and had made others subject to it.
"Heredity is very important
factor in cancer and other diseases
as WELL" DR.. Mayo declared. "It
you want to know what you are
going to die of, look up your fam
lily tree"
DR.. Benjamin Goldbergh of the
Chicago municipal tuberculosis
sanitarium said the Mexican i'm
migrant presented serious prob
lem in tuberculosis control. The
living conditions of the Mexican
laborer are conducive to tubercu-
losis, he said, and for this reason
the importation OF Mexican labor is
rather a menace to health than an
industrial saving.
