Striking Farmers
Force New Hearing
on NRA Milk Code

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. $3.50
great has the strike sentiment be-
come among the milk farmers in
this milk shed that the Secretary of
the Treasury, Wallace, has been
forced to call a public hearing on
the milk code for the district. II
will be held this Friday.
It is generally admitted that the
strike vote taken by the Philadel-
phia Regional Committee of Ac-
ton on August FL forced the au-
thorities to reconsider the original
code.
The $4,000 a year official of the
Interstate Milk Producers Associa-
ton is doing his best to discourage
the farmers from coming to the
hearings in any large numbers.
Only committees will be admitted.
he warned the farmers. The au-
thorities followed the same tack by
giving the farmers barely two days
notice Of the hearings.
The most conservative farmers
are openly declaring their determi-
nation to enter on milk strike
unless something is Immediately
done to relieve them of the extor-
lions of the Milk Trust.
A group of workers organiza-
lions in Philadelphia has pledged
active aid to the strikers.

WOONSOCKET, r. l., Aug .30.--Ihe
$50 workers at the Onowa wool spin
ming mill here are striking for an
increase in wages, and are trying to
spread the strike TO another mill in
Woonsocket owned by the same COM
pany (the Loughton Company and
to the Loughton mill at Franklin.
The strikers, mostly young boys and
girls around the age Of eighteen to
twenty, are keeping a militant picket
line.
"We'ye been on strike two weeks, "
the picket captain said when inter-
viewed on the picket line. I'VE want
to make at least the same pay at
forty hours that we did at 81 hours
before they put in the code. We've
been out on strike two weeks. SO far
we have been able to keep all scabs
out Of the mill, although the boss Is
trying to keep the mill running"
Ask for Daily Worker
The pickets crowded around and
enquired about the Daily Worker,
They gave their names and addresses
and asked that copies Of the paper
be sent to them. when the code
came in some departments got as
much for 40 hours as they did for
81 hours and some got slight raise
some departments didn't get the raise,
so the whole mill went on strike"
The highest the spinners, the most
skilled craft receive, In the mill was
$17.20 and the highest other depart
ments received was $14, even though
prices of food and clothing in Rhode
Island have gone up 81 per cent in
the last month. The United Textile
Union has sent organizers in here
and will undoubtedly try to force the
strikers back to work. At the present
time they have their minds set on
spreading the strike and winning their
raise.

Cutting Off Relief
The cutting off of this worker from
he relief lists no doubt explains
,lly there has been a slight decrease
in the number being carried on the
ralief rolls OF Rhode Island, the
decrease, however, being negligible.
More than one worker testified that
he has been cut off of the relief list
on the flimsiest excuse. There are over
II 900 on the relief rolls Of Rhode Is
land, about 800 having been taken
eff in the last few weeks. The workers
interviewed here reported no jobs are
to be had. The employment office of

800 Shops Tied Up
in General Strike
Of Tobacco Workers
Nearly 1000 Strik e
for More Pay,
Less Hours

NEW YORK.-Unorganizei to-
bacco workers responded to the
general strike call Of the Tobacco
Workers Industrial Union in great
numbers and some 800 small to-
bacco shops and 6 large plants
were tied up last week. Nearly
1000 workers are involved in the
struggle for immediate wage in
creases and shorter hours. Never
in the history of the International
Cigar Makers Union affiliated with
the A. T. of l.. were the workers
so united in their struggle, for it
was the policy Of the union Off
Gals to play the skilled workers
against the unskilled and to be-
tray strikes by fixing agreements
with the bosses in secret confer
ences.
The A. f. OF I. officials are
making similar attempts in this
strike, They are urging the work
ers to go back to their jobs and
then bargain for demands on the
basis Of the NRA cole which is
soon to be adopted. A recent
strike meeting in which 1000 par
ticipased decided that question.
The Workers voted to stay out on
strike for their demands and to
spread the strike to all shops
still working.
The Workers International Re-
lief pledged it's support to the
strike and will provide relief for
the strikers. the majority of whom
are Latin American workers.

Controlling Hard LIQUOR

Prof. Yandeu Henderson OF Yale

control of hard liquors which at least
has the merit Of being new.
after repeal Of the 18th amend
ment," he says, "the stronger alco-
holic beverages must be absolutely
separated from the weaker ones and
controlled essentially as morphine
and cocaine are controlled under the
Harrison act.'
Beer and light wines, Professor
Henderson says, are really in a class
with tea and coffee. The strong
liquors, however, ought to be classed
with narcotic drugs, he believes, and
should be dispensed under the same
sort Of laws.
It is doubtful II many repealists
would go the whole way with him on
this program. But his remark does
emphasize the fact that the sort OF
control which works very well for
beverages like beer might work very
disastrously with whisky.

TRY. Try Again

Ineffective as 1t has been in deal

the London conference loses nothing
by arranging for further sessions at
a later date.
In some diseases the patient must

in our economic distress. Until a
nation realizes that world coopera-
ton Is necessary to get things on an
even keel there is no point to vast
ing time. LAS man thinketh in his
heart so is he" and unless nation
has real desire to cooperate, a true
understanding of the necessity for
united action, formulate, pacts and
proposals become idle words.
A little later, perhaps, when things
get settled down a bit and the ma
tions not now willing to cooperate
have felt the pains Of further pres
sure, we may get somewhere with
this meeting. Certainly there is every
reason for trying again and again
until definite and worth while re-

Making Progress

Maybe this business of kidnapping
isn't so easy and profitable after all.
Last week the abductors Of August
Luer, Illinois banker, were arrested
in that state and now Terrible
Tuohy" and his gang are in the
hands Of the law In connection with
the Hamm case.
This is encouraging to those who
felt the forces Of law and order had
definitely been proved unable to cope
with this situation, but the real test
remains to be met.
These men must be convicted of
the crimes with which they are
charged If their arrests are to mean
anything.
II and when this is done, the pub
lie will be able to breathe more
freely, and for two reasons. The first
Is that these particular criminals will
then be in no position to repeat their
exploits. The second is the lesson
which will be taught to those who
might otherwise think that KIDNAPPING
offers a safe and lucrative business.

Then they recalled that the movie
was q highly sentimental one. all
about an enduring marriage. And,
since the marriage Of Miss Pickford
and Douglas Fairbanks had endured
to tho point Of becoming the pride Of
Hollywood, it was suggested that a
contest be launched to find the twelve
happiest couples In the United States,
and to send them to the Century Of
Progress Exposition as guests Of the
Hollywood pair.
Which was just dandy, except that
before the winning couples set out for
the fair, the Pickford- Fairbanks me-
