do. Recently, they started a job at
the Indiana Boys School, using
painters, laborers, plumbers and
carpenters. Three or four days be-
fore, the assistant superintendent
was out manipulating friends, some
who to this time had not even reg
istered at Danville. Now, then, two
of these painters have no depend
ents. They are both single. 1t is
doubtful if one is painter. One
signed as a painter and was put to
work as a helper at so cents an
hour. He is a man with six or
seven to support.
The assistant superintendent of
this place was fired by Charles
MacGonagle before the Governors
eyes. He then held minor job.
Another painter who went to work
on this job had been taken off poor
relief and put on a road job two
weeks ago. Still they tell some of
us that these men are employed at
Danville.
Our township trustee seems to
have a private list he picks from
taking two and three out of some
families who have been on poor re-
lief-sonle Of them are just boys.
Some of us have been able to keep
off the relief and have been regis
tered three or four weeks. Others
are told to register and go to work
at once. All we have asked for is
common labor and can not even get
that.
Will you see if you can get us
some action on this? If you doubt
any of this, you may investigate or
report it to the public relief works
commission.
There are also four former service
men all married who have not even
been considered yet. How can a man
who has tried to register honestly
go to work when others have fall
sified their registration cards as to
ability and dependents. All we ask
is some man to take charge out here
who will give every one the same
chance.
Hope you will have time to inves-
tigate this.

This suggestion, which I consider
a very good one, has been made and
I pass it along to you:
Let every American man, woman
and child who is back of President
Roosevelt in his efforts to recreate
this country for the common good,
write him a letter or card before
Christmas, or New Years day, send
ing him greetings at this time Of
peace and goodwill.
I am certain this is one Of the
finest gifts our leader in this grave
emergency would ask for. Think of
the vast cheer and encouragement,
and strength it might bring to our
chieftain in his terrific struggle TO
bring order from chaos.

T beg to discuss with you your
editorial Of Dec. 8, on "Tax Re-
vision" especially the last para
graph.
"a reasonable tax program should
bear lightly on the average
consumer but little heavier on
the people Of moderate income,
and will rest it's greatest burden
on great wealth :"
Your fallaciouS premises are Cd
that voting power should be in the
hands Of the multitudes on whom
tax burden" bears but lightly,
% that a tax burden" need be
levied on any one-that such a
burden" need be allowed to con-
tinue, 90 that those of great
wealth can be taxed more heavily
by the levy of higher rates-a dis
regard of the claw of diminish
ing returns.
I suggest this instead:
The enactment of criminal laws
(or better yet, the enforcement Of
laws we have) curbing acquisition
of wealth by fraud. The spread
of the tax load pretty evenly from
bum to Millionaire (pro-rated on
ability to pay, and favoring the
bum some at the expense Of the
billionaire) to the end that the
voter will know there is a tax
burden" to be got rid of. This is
a tory suggestion.
By J. t. Ban
Now is the time for workers, en-
ployed and unemployed, to demand
of governments, local, state and fed
eral, that some real work be done
toward lifting us out Of this rotten
pit of economic death, that these
monstrous professions should stop
now. We know that If our mis-
called Representatives" wished to
send us into another profiteers' war,
we would be out Of it at once.
Now is the time for workers to
agitate among workers to make a
clean sweep Of these demo-publican
political graverobbers. For it is the
workers themselves who are mostly
at fault for voting into office these
tools of the profiteers. 1t IS not too
soon to be getting out the broom for
the next general election.
The season is here when workers
again are being fed sentimental and
some material slop in the form OF
charity. Many leading charity
workers are so enthusiastic about
their charity that they would do
anything for a recipient except
grant him the opportunity to free
himself from the necessity Of char
ity.
Newspapers are full Of Santa
Claus sluSh when there is not
enough spirit of justice in the land
to allow a small measure of COM
pensation to those who fought the
proflteer's war, the So-called World
war. The battle Of Santa Claus is
now on to batter the unemployed
into submission, by making them
feel their place in the ranks Of char
ity receivers. Every one receiving
public charity should take it, not
with a feeling of debasement, but
with the realization that the great
portion of what is due has been
withheld.

 During the past eight and a half months of bartering, the Red Sox not only acquired player strength, but on February 20, they acquired new owner, Thomas A. Yawkey, and a new vice-president, Eddie Collins, former right-hand man of the illustrous Connie Mack.
 No More Changes
 Players acquired during the trad ing season included Inf1elder Berny Friberg from the Phillies; Johnny Hodapp, Bob Fothergill and Bob Seeds from the White Sox, and George Pipgras and Bill Werber from the Yankees. The deadline on buying and trading went into eff feet at midnight last night, and the Bostonians will battle 1t out for tho rest of the season with their present squad--a 1ine-up capable of furnishing plenty of opposition to other clubs. although not of pen nant ,calibre.
 The Red sox made 1t four out of five in their series with the Tanks yesterday by taking the final game, to 5, moving the Bostonians out of the cellar for the fir6t time since, May 9-The idle St Louis Browns dropped into last place. It was the first time since 1881 that any club had beaten the Tanks four in a row.
 A five-run rally in the seventh, featuring homers by Manager Marty McManus and Roy Johnson. clinched the victory for the Red Sox. Tony Lazzeri and Ben Chap man contributed homers for the Tanks.
 The only other game scheduled in tho American League--Cleveland at Detroit-.was washed out.

It's Cooler Today

Though the breaking of athlet- ic relations between Crosby and Naugatuck high schools was the chief topic of discussion for the past few days in the borough since Crosby refused to play off a tie baseball game, Principal Charles Slade who was nsiderably cooled off at Rye Beach yesterday with the high school seniors, does not favor such a drastic step, accord ing to his statement this morning. Which is just as we'll for every one concerned. including the ath- letic treasuries of both schools. though Naugy is anxious to get Hartford and New Britain high on its athletic schedules, latest re- port has it, but should be accom- plished without discontinuing the Crosby Naugatuck rivalry which has been so prominent a part of local and borough sport for a quarter of century.

 New London, Conn, June 16.- (UP)-Harvard and Yale got at it again on the sleepy Thames to- day.
 When the Crimson and the Blue went at it the first time the Whigs were in power, Willard Fillmore was president, the fugitive slave law was the burning question of the hour, Commodore Perry's ex- pedition to Japan was hot conver- sation and Daniel Webster was or ating all over the place. In short, 1t was the good year 1852.
 Since that time the two rival crews have banged down the, river an even 80 times. The boys took time out for the Civil war, electing to tote musket rather than an oar. They also missed race in 1917, in deference to the interna- tional mix-up.
 To-day's S1st renewal. like so many of the others that have gone before, will be a battle of finesse versus power, rhythmn versus heft, and as usual, Yale will be the light, flawless stroking boatload, and Harvard the hefty, enduring one. The Crimson shell will be popu- lated by as huge bunch of giants as ever put out to sea from Cam bridge. their average weight being something just this side of 1S7. Just to give you an idea of the size of the Johnnios, Waldo Holcombe, shortest man in the boat, stands 6 feet 1 1-2 inches in his socks.
 1t is a power crew, trained not for the sprint races of the early season but for the torturous four mile trial that starts at Bartlett's Cove and ends under the piles of a railroad bridge. They readily ad- init at Harvard that their crew is aimed at but one thing--the drive down the Thames with Yale.
 Yet, despite Harvard's wallop, Yale probably will go to the stake boats just before dusk to-day as the favorite. This is as it should be for the Ellis. although they must spot the Harvards some ten pounds to a man, have to be defeated this season and have turned in faster time trials over the four-mile course than Harvard.
 In the various phases of oarman- ship-bladework, spacing, feather ing-slide control and recovery Yale's Leader-coached crew is ad- mittedly superior. If Capt Urqu- hart and his mates pack the sta- nina for the long haul only an accident can prevent them giving Harvard the backwash.
 The race isn't going to be the spectacle 1t has been in years past. and will probably play to the smallest attendance since before the war. The Central of Vermont railroad. which has run an obser- vation train since the turn of the century. will have none to-day. The yachting fleet that rode at anchor to-day was only half the size of the 1929 flotilla. and 1t was pos- sible to get outside hotel rooms.

Yale Trip to Tokio Suddenly Cancelled

New Haven, Conn, June 16- (UP)-The proposed trip to Japan by the Yale baseball team has been cancelled because the games could not be arranged so as to en- able the Yale players to return in time to resume their studies in the fall.
 The athletic association also announced that the Yale crew will resume training for the west coast regatta at Long Beach June 21. The crew will be dismissed after to-day's races at New London, but Coach Ed Leader will have them back on the Housatonic Wednes- day. The Long Beach race will be July 8. Leader has not yet se- lected the men he will take west.

The race was rowed downstream from the railroad bridge to the submarine base.
 Few of the thousands of spectA- tors expected for this evenings varsity event wacthed the yaerlings row. Visibility was scarcely moro than a quarter of a mile. Rain threatened and spectators without lection against the unreasonable weather.
 Minimum Exertion
 The Yale freshmen won with al- most ridiculous ease and were 50 far ahead near the finish line that there was no final drive. Both crews seemed fresh at the end Of the race.
 They had used medium stroke, with Yale's beat slightly higher than Harvard's.
 The few spectators at the sub base and on the banks of Nthe Thames got only a glimpse or two of the rival eights. Those at the sub base could see them rowing for scarcely more than an eighth of a mile.

The deal was apparently made neces- sary because of the Phils standing in the National league and the corresponding progress of the Attn letics. Just as was the case with the dear old Brasscos of 1924-25, who won two, championships and then fiopped when the. good play CTS were sold down the river to get the club owners somewhere near even.

| Many's the odd happening thet comes to the lot of a horse or rider at race track, but yesterdays performance by "Watchi Her" at Belmont passed anything that the oldest railbird could remember. The horse broke at the barrier. threw her jockey, ran four miles through wood and field, was cap tured, returned to the post, and then stepped out and won her race in good time. The gentlemen repu- ted to be most wise in the ways of horsefiesh, would bet as high as 150, to the horse couldn't win, after the wild four mile dash, but she did, which proves that an at mosphere of horsefeathers is no protection whatsoever.

and reel until you hit the tuna grounds
 The captain of the launch gem orally rigs up your line. He takes a small kite, abo uttwo feet square, made of black silk and dry red- wood. To the kite is attached several hundred feet of line. When 1t gets we'll into the air, it is at- tached to the line proper. and then a six-foot piano-wire leader is fixed on with swivel. To this leader the hook and flying fish bait is tied. and the angler is ready.
 He let's out line until the bait Is about $50 feet from the boat. The bait plays on top of the waves. manipulated by the rod in the manner of live fish.
 When a tuna is hooked. the angler reels in until the kite can be cut from his line. Some kites are 50 attached that the shock of the striking tuna will break the line and cast 1t adrift. to be picked up later.
