The Paris, one of the vessels of
the Transatlantic Fleet with 1000
passengers aboard, suddenly nosed

In order to earn a living wage

work until they are about ready to

In the Flint plant of the Fisher
Body Co. the oil sanders were all

the result that the wages have been
reduced practically two and three

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia (By Mail)
AS the result of an explosion a
couple of weeks ago at the Allen
Shaft at Stellarton, Nova Scotia,
over 500 coal miners have been
thrown out of work.
Two hundred of these have been
hired by the Albion and other mines
of the British Empire Steel Co. at
Thorburn.
Thus, by doubling the shifts, some
OF these men got work, but at the
same time the earning capacity of
all the miners was greatly reduced.
That's one of the ways unemploy-
ment is "solved" under the capital
list system.
The other 800 are still out of
work, and many more hundreds of

REPUBLIC Steel
WORKERS Slave
"a HOURS 4 DAY
Poison Fumes Destroy
Health
by a Worker Correspondent

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (By Mail) -
The workers in the Republic Iron
and Steel Co. have to work from
10 to Ia hours on a shift. The
speed-up is growing every day, for
the steel workers here are told that
more production is expected.
Workers are fired in the Republic
Mills for any little slip they may
make. The workers are not allowed
20 rest q second during the IL hours
or more of hard slavery. for they
are fired if the foreman sees them.
Often, men, many in a mill, are
sent home for as much as several
weeks if they are seen sitting down
before quitting time. Laborers get
a. cents an hour; the conditions in
the mill are filthy. The workers
health is a poor thing to bet on in
any mill of the Republic Co.
Poison Fumes.
Smoke and gas make the hot mill
a hell-hole for the workers. The all
is poisonous, full of gas, which alone
kills many of the steel workers
after awhile.
Accidents grow more frequent in
the mills, due to the constant in
crease in the speed-up system. The
workers are unorganized. There are
stool-pigeons, or spies, for the COM
pany, scattered through the mills
and the foremen are always goadin2
the workers to work faster.
Many of the workers in the Re-
public Steel Mills say to themselves
at the end of the gruelling day OF
torture in the mills: "How have we
been able to stand this slavery; is il
going to last till we drop dead?"
a Fighting Union Needed.
No, fellow-workers, it does no
have to last till we drop like sc
many worked-out horses. What We
need is a fighting steel workers
union for the whole industry; i
must be led by the Communist Party
which will never sell out like thu
A. F. OF L. did, as we know.
Join the Communist Party, stee
workers. There is way to end GU
Iunbearsble slavery.

This year during the week pre-
ceding Memorial Day, the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary will conduct
the annual poppy sale to provide
funds for veterans welfare work
This is truly honoring the dead
thru service to their comrades. The
disabled veteran is not the sole
charge Of the American Legion and
its Auxiliary, but is the response
biiity Of the entire people and it is
encouraging to know that every
poppy sold already has brought
hope and confidence to disabled
service man somewhere and will
bring new hope and support to
other disabled service men in the
years to come. Every cent receiv-
ed by the Legion or Auxiliary is
devoted to this work and to no
other purpose. Most of the money
obtained will be spent in the COM
munities in which it is raised. The
poppies are the product Of the hos
pitalized World War veterans and
every person who buys one is help
ing just that much to provide oc-
cupation and remuneration to these
physical wrecks that once were

The Smyrna Times, Delaware's
Oldest consecutively published
newspaper, is celebrating this year
its 18th anniversary. While our
actual anniversary date does not
fall due until eight weeks hence,
July 5, 1929, we are making recog-
milton Of the event this early be-
cause of the demands on our ad-
vertising space and to give what
has been long needed, more read
ing matter. We are therefore is
suing to-day a seven column, eight
page paper instead Of a six-column
eight-page paper. The column a
page addition will mean much to
us in relieving congestion and to
our advertisers, better service. We
may have more to say Of our an
niversary in our issue of July 3rd,
next, for The Smyrna Times has
an interesting history in this period
covering three-quarters Of a cen
tury, a history that is linked with
the progress Of Smyrna. Suffice it
to be said, we are proud of our rec
ord and appreciate the support Of
our readers and advertisers which
has made the Times their local
paper all these years. For a news
paper to have remained in one fam
lily and to have never missed a pub
Gcation, is something to be proud of
and though we are Is years young
we are just as eager to serve our
readers and advertisers to-day as
ever and with our seven-column
edition, We no doubt, will be in a
better position To continue more
progressive service all the way
around. The Times was founded
July 5, 1854, by the late Robert d.
Hoffecker, Sr. With the exception
Of about ten years, when the paper
was published BY the late Joseph
H. Hoffecker, brother, the Times
was owned and published by the
founder until February 10, 1907,
when the Times passed to the pres
ent ownership, that Of his son, and
namesake, who has continued it
ever since.

When farm relief Oh anything re-
lating to agriculture is considered
it is a complicated question, says
The Morning News. perhaps this
fact IL one potent reason why so
many political leaders and others
try to dodge it. They do not know
what to do. For instance, Kansas
farmers have some 50,000,000 bush
els Of their last years crop Of
wheat unsold, and they will have
this huge surplus at the approach
Of another harvest. Statesmen do
not know what is to be done about
it However, no matter how low
the price Of wheat is, the prices Of
cereal products, bread and the
wheat foods remain about the same
Once let the price of wheat, how
ever, 20 up seriously, and how
quickly the advance in the price Of
wheat products. There is some
thing similar in other products Of
the farmers. In large cities the
stands have ~ difficulty in selling
apples at ten cents each, or some
other high figure perhaps not thai
high. but ridiculously high as com.
pared with what the growers re.

Smyrna Town Council who last
year extended North, Mt. Vernon

is now getting ready to have the
curbing and pavements on these
streets laid. Already building sites
are being laid out on these extend
ed streets and in time Smyrna will
grow to the Boulevard and even
beyond. Smyrna Town Council has
wrought well in its progressive
steps to attain this and despite the
cost, it is definitely putting Smyrna

Physical Training Discussed.
An address on the training of chill

need of early home training, pointing
out that child is influenced by prac-

been done in the home by way OF i'm

BY the Associated Press
While members are explaining its
methods and intentions to the Senate
agriculture committee the Farm Board
is broadening its organization to meet
the increasing demands for farm relief.
Pursuing a policy OF conservativeness
in the hope OF bringing permanent
prosperity to agriculture, the board has
taken steps to educate the farmers to
the advantages of cooperative market
ing and the disadvantages of surplus
- Jduction.
A banking division to handle loans
from the $500, 100000 fund has been
created and the cooperative market
ing division of the Agriculture Depart
ment has been transferred to the board
by President Hoover to stimulate or
ganization~ of co-operatives.
In addition, an educational campaign
o teacher farmers, rs per cent of whom
re not in the movement, how TO oper-
tie co-operativeS. is being gotten under
?ay with the assistance of the Agricul-
ure Departments extension service and
The land grant colleges.
Loans Are Supplemental.
Although the loans of about $4,000
900 already made mostly are supple
mental to advances by the Federal
intermediate credit banks on commod-
tiles, the board expects to be able to
make loans for facilities to co-opela-
tives to store crop SURPRISES as soon
as they qualify.
The co-operatives which have not al
ready qualified for loans will be investi-
gated by both the banking and cooper
alive marketing divisions to give the
board reasonable assurance that the
Government funds will be returned.
The banking division is under the d.
rection of Thomas Hildt of Baltimore,
who is experienced in financing Coop
erativcs. The cooperative division is
directed by A. w. Mckay, who was as
sistant to Chris L. Christensen. secre-
tary to the board. while the latter was
chief of the division. It was organized
