A formal request was drawn up at
the conference, to be presented to
the postal department, requesting
that the carriers pay be based not
only upon the excess miles they
travel, but also upon the volume of

The Kelly postal policy bill, which
would allocate the expense of frank

originates, also received Endorsement.

we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly. .......

A rich woman who lives in Balti-
more is found at a seaside resort by
newspaper reporters who ask her
what about all this fuss in a textile
mill which she owns.
The dear old lady tells the report
ers she doesn't know anything about
it, doesn't want to be bothered and
will they please run along and mind
their own business.
Between this lady and celebrated
queen of France there is difference
only in degree. Between her and the
absentee landlords who reused Ireland
to generations of struggle there is
difference only in degree.
And there isn't so darned much diff
ference, either, between her and the
governors representative who said
to Edward F. McGrady that if the
deputy sheritfs called for help in max
ing evictions he would have to order
militia to help with the job.
To what miserable pass does in
dustry come when it bargains like
this, reasons like this, acts like this!
This is not industry. This is trashl
Of course the Baltimore lady does
Mt want to be bothered What does
she care about textile workers driven
through 81 hours of hard work each
week at miserable pay in the richest
nation on earth? All she wants Is
her so-much-a-ye year income and the
devil take everything else.
Another wealthy woman illustrates
type of mind reminiscent of days
long ago. The widow of Robert Lin
| coin, who was the son of Abraham
Lincoln, lives in Washington. A
grocery store operated across the
street from her home. She couldn't
tolerate anything so plebian as q
grocery store, SO she bought the land
and put the grocery store out OF busl-
ness by tearing it down. What of the
grocery man? That is a question that
didn't bother Mrs. Lincoln.
The public utility barons of Neg
York who make the policies for the
street car company at New Orleans
are about in the same boat. They
order a policy made for men whom
they never see, for an industry that
they never visit in city that is toe
hot to go in summer anyway. Eight
hundred wage earners and their fam
lilies are supposed to take that policy
or leave it.
Not until influences of the most
powerful kind are brought to bear dc
these barons bend even little bit.

What is regarded as the largest
planting of walnut trees In Virginia

property Of d. o. Glaize. Two hun.

The English walnut, according 20
Mr.. Glaize, is well adapted 70
growth in the Shenandoah valley

are to be found, there has been no
special effort at raising this type
OF walnut up to this time. A tree

Although walnuts are usually
grown in California, there are gooo

PROBE ASKED IN
ALIEN DOPE
SALES
BY KENNETH CLARK

A new drive against the illicit dope
traffic In the United States waS
launched yesterday BY Representa-
tive johnson D.). Of Oklahoma.
Federal authorities have estimated
that dope valued at not less than
$500, 900 900 r. smuggied into the
country annually.
To smash this traffic, johnson has
proposed q congressional Investigation
OF the smuggling Of aliens, liquor
and narcotics.
Sold By Aliens
Most Of the dope peddled 10 Anleri.
cas- addictg II Imported and sold by
aliens who have entered the country
Illegally, he charged. He believes
the inquiry viii lead to enactment
OF bin to deport aliens convicted Of
Violating the anttdrug laws.
NE greater crime can exist than
the prcmiscuoias bootlegging Of
aliens into the United States" said
Johnson. II have a case in mind
where immigration inspectors watch
ed the smuggling or aliens, liquors
and morphine into America IN whole
sale lots, despite the fact that those
in authority had advance information
that these boats would enter.
Many OF these undesirable aliens,
smuGsied In excess Of the quotas
provided BY law, are peddling booze,
bootlegging drugs and narcotics and
contributing materially to the break
ing down Of law ana order and lax
enforcement In many quarters.
Johnson s1ii0 he IL prepared to
submit afGldavits to prove hts
charges OF official c0nnivance IN
the smuggling operations.
One az Greatest Curses
"Dope IL one Of Americas great.
est curses" he continued. "It has
enslaved thousands. Il leads to
the most aggravated forms Of de-
pauchery and crime. People are
not safe so long as drug-crazed
criminals roam the streets and
can obtain apparently unlimited
supplies through smuggling.
81 know OF cases where young
boys and girls in high schools ind
colleges are using dope. Their
lives are being ruined. Dope IL
breaking up homes and families.
Just recently ! received d tier
from a war veteran. He told me
his wife was using dope. She had
obtained it from an alien peddler.
He voiced 3 pathetic appeal to
me 10 have the Government take
steps to save others from the de.
struction of drugs.
A man who peddles dope h an
assassin. II he Ii an alien, he
should b driven from our midst. !"
