VIRGINIA SHUNS
FARM STRIKE

While farmers in territory close
to the District are talking
striker there is little likelihood
that they will join in the national
farm holiday, leaders stated to-
day.
Miles H. Fairbanks, secretary Of
the Maryland Farm Bureau and
a member of the Grange of that
State, said he feels the farmers in
this section are "too conservative
to strike"
The Farm Holiday Association
is not represented in this part OF
the nation, H. B. Derr, Fairfax
county agricultural agent, pointed
out in stating that there is little
chance of strike here.
Commenting on the local situ-
alton, Derr said:
"Fairfax is q dairy county
and there is little grain pro-
duced here. 1 do not expect
that the farmers in this county
will be affected by the strike"
Maryland farmers have been
hard hit, Fairbanks pointed out,
but they are not the striking
kind" he said.
A few farmers are talking Of
participating in the strike, but
they are in the minority, he said.

HUSTON MOVIE
AIDE KILLED

Actors are back at Fort Myer
today shooting scenes Of the
picture Rodney" which was
marked by tragedy yesterday
when a camera man was ground
to death beneath a plunging
artillery caisson.
Corporal Paul Lazur was guild
ing the spirited team as it
thundered across the drill field
while cameramen ground away.
He was doubling for Walter
Huston, star of the film.
AS the lead team approached
the cameras the horses followed
the leader and turned to the
left instead of the right.
William easel, 81, of Brooklyn,
was crouching on the ground be-
hind cameras focused to photo
graph the feet and legs of the
Swiftly-moving horses in an effort
to achieve a novel screen effect.
The artillery hit him, the
horses trampled him and the
wheels of the caiSson passed over
his chest, crushing him to death.
William j. Miller, another
cameraman working close by, was
slightly scratched and bruised as
he dove to safety.
Army officers exonerated Cor
poral Lazur from blame.

Before Our Eyes

women are receiving in public
life. She said:
II am glad to see that women
now are being recognized in
public undertakings, not be-
cause they are women but be-
cause Of their merit. 1 sincerely
believe that women should take
their place in the affairs of the

Civilization has grown

their merit, find their places

Former Poll Star
Mrs. Miller, as Izetta Jewel, was
leading woman in the Poll Thea
ter stock company several years
ago.
Brought up, however, in the
swing of politics by virtue Of the
fact that her mother, Mrs. Jewel
Kenney, was a leading light in
the suffragette movement, she
soon fell into political work.
In the 1920 Democratic conven

NINE CLASH
Guardsmen Wait at State
Arsenal as 10000 Miners
Prepare to Rally

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 20
GN.S).-1n anticipation of a
huge demonstration by 10000
progressive miners at two Peabody
Coal Company Mines here today,
three companies of national
guardsmen were being held in
readiness at the State arsenal.
In addition, military patrols
and forces of State and city police
were guarding the mine property,
where the progressive miners,
having rejected the NRA pro
posals of peace, were expected to
register their dissatisfaction.
United Mine Workers of Amer
lea have been working the Pea
body properties. The progressives
are a "rebel' offshoot Of that
union.
Riot Guns Ready
Guarding against violence and
possible bloodshed, civil and mill
tary authorities equipped their
forces with bayoneted rifles and
riot guns. One of the progress
siveS was shot and killed with
the arrival of the large delega-
ton.
Throughout the night progress
Sive forces were SWelled by a
steady influx from other parts
of the State. Trucks, private
cars, and vans brought the
miners women folk, led by Mrs.
Agnes Week, president of the
women's auxiliary.
Leaders of the contingent we're
quoted as promising that the pro-
gressive miners would camp in
the State Capital until this
thing is settled by negotiation
with washington and until we
get justice"
Reject Peace Plan
With the threat of possible
trouble, Sheriff j. Cole sent out
of the county Peter Haynes, a
United miner charged with the
murder of Melville Staples, pro-
gressive leader who was shot and
killed.
Progressive leaders, in confer
ence with Gov. Henry Horner,
rejected the threepoint peace
plan presented by Donald R.
Richberg, counsel for the Ma
tional Recovery Administration.
They contended Richberg's recon-
mendations did not solve the bit
ter union dispute which has
ragged for a year with frequent
murders, bombings and sluggings.

OIL QUOTAS

States recalcitrant in enforce
ment of the new oil production
quotas will have the oil laws en-
forced for them by the United
States Government, it became
clear today.
States will be expected to en-
force the new laws within their
own borders, but there is ample
authority for Federal interven-
ton where State enforcement
fails, Secretary of the Interior
Ickes said.
Several Western States were
warned recently that production
in their territory was excessive.
It was explained at the time
that particular State agencies
were not held to blame, but were
merely being told Of the situa-
tion.

ROOSEVELT HAS
PLAN FROM
CUMMINGS
Five U. S. Agencies Check Up
Big Executives as Basis for
Loans to Giant Firms

Attorney General Homer S.
Cummings, it is understood, has,
ct the requets of President Roose-
velt. suggested plans Of reaching
salaries in private industry which
are considered excessive.
It was indicated that changes
IN corporation taxes which would
make payment of excessive sala-
ries onerous are under considera-
ton.
For several months the Admin
iStration has been debating ways
and means of preventing officers
Of corporations from paying them
selves large salaries and bonuses,
to the detriment of stockholders.
Railroad Coordinator Joseph B.
Eastman recently brought about
Q semivoluntary cut in railroad
salaries, under which the largest
now paid is 100000.
$4,000 the Limit
The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation also, presumably on
recommendation Of Brain
Truster" A. A. Berle, jr., has been
guided in making loans by the
principle that excessive salaries
should not be encouraged.
Recent disclosures as to the
salaries paid movie stars and
executives, and the retirement"
pay of 100000 a year to Albert
H. Wiggin by the Chase National
Bank have brought the question
more prominently than ever to
public notice.
It has been the attitude Of the
administration that corporation
officials through payment OF such
salaries deprive stockholders OF
the return to which they are
entitled, and it has been limited
for some time that ultimately no
salary in excess of $4,000 a year
would be permitted to stand in
private business.
Five Agency Checks
Five Federal agencies, it was
said today, are collecting data on
fancy salaries to business execu-
tives.
The Presidents theory is, it is
understood, that more money for
wage earners and a better deal
for investors would help the re-
covery program, rather than divert
most of the income Of business to
the pockets of a favored few.
The Federal Trade Commission
is making the principal inquiry,
under a Senate resolution, through
a queStionnaire sent to 1000 cor
porations.
Later, it is expected that more
corporations will be covered by
the inquiry.
Legislation Looms
The r. F. c. is reporting salaries
of banks seeking loans, the I. C. c.
Is concerned with pay of railroad
executives, and the Federal Re-
serve Board is checking up salaries
of bankers in the reserve system.
Now the Department Of Jutice is
taking hand.
It is suggested that the present
arrangement whereby corpora
tions may deduct salaries before
corporate income is subject to tax
be drastically changed.
Attorney General Cummings has
made no comments on the pro-
posed program, but it is expected
that legislation will be necessary
if voluntary reductions cannot be
brought about.

Nothing. No reply.
II want to see you. Only for min

Nothing.
Then a senseless rage seized him.
"Beast-you horrible beast!"
Something terrible had happened.
Sybil had lost all her fine qualities.
And yet it was for love of her that
he had joined the ship. And it had
been his intention to forgive her.
He threw himself against the door
with all his strength. He saw red

was rather pathetic.
