- HE GARDEN CON-
b kI TEST was a closed

ed, on Monday evening. About
forty-five prizes were awarded
to deserving entrants in the con-
test, and a very profitable eve
ming was enjoyed by those in
attendance. The enthusiasm,
which has been called unusual
by one experienced with gardens
and their owners, is not going
to be allowed to die a natural
death. Out of the contest has
emerged a Garden Club with
officers who will see that it
keeps a living thing. And next
year it is hoped that more in
terest even than there has been
this year, if that is possible,
will be the reward for the SER
vices of these officers. Mrs. A.
Donnell Marshall has consented
to be the first president of the
new club. With her desire for
achievement and the help of her
cabinet and lovers of gardens,
Milford has to be the Garden
City of Twin Counties. Serving
with Mrs. Marshall are the fol-
lowing: First vice president,
Mrs. Thomas Davis; second vice
president, Mrs. J. Coleman Sal
ter; third vice president, Mrs. E.
Roscoe Galloway; secretary,
Mrs. James L.. Davis, and treas
urer, Mrs. Walter X. Barrett.
In another column will be found
an advisory board made up of
men and women who will lend
their aid to the new organiza-
tion. The first meeting called
by the president, Mrs. Marshall,
will be held in the New Century
Club rooms on the evening of
October 8, at eight o'clock. All
those who are interested are ex-
pected.

Appearing in one of the States
daily papers twice a week will
be an article headed "Her Col
Iege Days." written by our own
Alice Breme. In the days of the
Milford High School Page, Miss
Breme showed her ability for
the thing she is now doing for
Women's College, University of
Delaware, and as time goes on,
more will be said about this
promising young journalist.
Honors were given her in her
freshman year for her scholar
ship, she having been awarded
the $25 English prize for the
best average in the freshman
class. She was treasurer of that
class. This year she is serving
the sophomores as their presi-
dent. This speaks well for our
down-State girls and especially
does it reflect favorably on the
English course in the Milford
High School, for while the abil-
ity is a heritage, the training is
a necessary part. Congratula-

Tobacco Workers Must

Filth From Hand

NORFOLK, Va. - T h e tobacco

ers are treated in the American
Tobacco Co. plant.
We work in dirty, dusty gritty and
half rotten tobacco all morning and
at noon our hands are SO fifty that
they are not fit to hang to our sides.
Yet we have no place to wash before
we eat.
We pile into the street like cattle
to get food from anywhere we can.
The streets at noon are lined with
push carts loaded with food, in old
black and rusty pots, not fit for a
dog. Covered with filth and f1es, we
have to force this down our already
sickened stomachs. We must stand
out there and eat it or take it back
to our work bench, which is more
filthy.
The company has plenty of room in
the back or side to build a dining
room and Mushroom. But instead of
that they build garages for the bosses
cars and company trucks. They don't
give snap for us and want us to
like it.

r. r. Workers Don't
See Any Benefits from
The Blue Buzzard
By a Worker Correspondent

PORTSMOUTH, Va. - There is a
lot of dissatisfaction among us work
ers at the Seaboard r. r. shop. We
are the lowest paid in the shop. We
got cut from $500 to $1.80 last June.
The boss tries to make us feel and
believe that he is very good to us. We
use to get an average of days a
week, now we don't get more than 4
days at the most. I don't see where
the N.RA. is doing us the least bit of
good.
Our conditions and low wages are
bringing down the conditions of the
workers in the shops generally, for
both black and white. The whites
are beginning to see this. You can
feel the stir around you. Nobody
seems to have much confidence in
the A. F. of L. Jim-Crow leadership.
I'm looking to see the growth of a
rank and file movement within the
shop that will one time repeat the
strike of 1919 and this time win, be-
cause of rank and file leadership and
militant policies. Negro Worker.

We have organized ourselves at the

was a place that needed New Deal
it is the Old Dominion. We all or
ganized about months age and since
we have organized times. have got
worse than before. I would like to
know why they don't consider us as
union men. Thre is something wrong.
The Misleaders
We can't understand why We have
to put our money in the union and
yet not be recognized as union men.
They just keep putting us off from
one month to another. We are long
ing to see the time, when things are
better at the Old Dominion dock.
When we walked out the first time
if we had the right men as leaders
we could have been recognized as
union men by now. But George Mill
ner and his friends didn't dol right.
Millner Betrays and Sells out Old
Dominion every time we go to rise
up for our rights, he gives us some
kind of dope to hold us back from
our rights on the dock. We have to
pull 1900 lbs. of freight to a man
more than a horse can pull, and If
we can't pull i we are fired.
Conditions Bad
We have eleven gangs with q to 80
men to a gang. Some gangs don't
make more than five dollars a week
Old Workers Fired
Most of the old workers who has
been with the company Is and sc
years have been fired. They have
no means to make living now. And
all since We have been organized as
union men. We haven't got buttons
yet like the other longshoremen. We
don't even get the general longshore
scale. We gets Sc an hour straight
time and "a for Sundays and holi-
days. And Millner and his friends
have not done thing since our last
walkout to help us men or prepare
us for lettering our conditions.
Many of Us are now beginning tt
see through the schemes OF Millner
and we are getting ready for show
down. We will either make a real
union out of it, with union rights, OF
bust it up altogether. We have re-
ceived and discussed the call and the
code of the Marine Workers Indus

hits us men with some real points
