an afternoon you might pick
I'D a founder or two that
somebody'll have to help you
boat.
That's the fun Of deep sea
fishing. There are so many
varieties to be had. Wind,
weather and water conditions
which don't suit one tribe will
more than likely be right down
the alley of another. If you go
fishing at Chincoteague and
come in empty handed, why,
they'll simply give you the
island, that's all.
They'll Give the Works
They'll give you the island
with it's 4,500 people, every one
Of whom seem to know the other
by his first name, and likely as
not knew their grandpap and
grandmammy as well.
They'll give you the island
with it's TOO or 800 humble
though insurpassably hospitable
homes and the hundred or so
wild ponies which roam the
swampS and marshes and reedy
places down on the far end
where things on wheels can't in
trude and where the quadruped
denizenS Craze and prance and
whinny the year round, winter
and summer, except on pony
penning day when the whole kit
and kaboodle of 'em are round
ed up in a corall on the edge of
the town-the babies Of the past
twelve-month branded and their
older brothers and sisters sold
at an average Of $50 a head to
folks from other climes who
think they would like to have
pony on their premises.
Yea, in Chicoteague, the
things which matter to you and
me, matter not at all. Yours
and my pursuits and interests
and daily mental mama mean
naught on this Robinson Crusoe
spot, with its little truck gar
dens, its lowing kline, it's head
or two of hogs, it's herd of ponies
the like of which is not to be
found elsewhere nearabouts and
its fish and oysters and clans.
Chicoteague is that way!

Industrial Steel Union
Launches Preparations
For Big Strike Struggles
Calls for Building of
$4,000 Fighting
Fund

NEW YORK-The preparations
of the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union for strike struggle in
the steel industry, and the campaign
of the S.M.WIU. for Steel Work
ers Fighting Fund. were endorsed
yesterday in statement by the Ma
tional Executive Board of the Trade
Union Unity League.
The TU.UL. statement, issued by
Jack Stachel, Acting Secretary, de-
clared that the steel workers. suf-
ering a severe attack on their liv-
ing standards, are disillusioned with
the MIRA. and Labor Boards and
the A. F. Of L. leaders, and are pre-
pairing for strike struggles.
National Board Decisions
This sentiment of the steel work
ers for struggles is seen in the grow
ing influence of the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union, and in
the recent convention of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers CA. F. of IL where,
in spite of the reformist character
of some of the opposition leaders,
the voice of the rank and file could
not be suppressed.
The T.UUL. statement con-
tinues, 1.-THE voice of the rank and
file was registered in the decisions
of the A. A. convention to organize
broad strike struggle for the de-
mands of the 30 hours per week, 81
an hour minimum wage, abolition OF
the differentials dover wage) le-
galized by the steel code for the
South, and for equal rights for Me-
gro steel workers. This convention
also went on record in support Of
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill (H. r. 1899.
THE National Board of the SteeI
and Metal Workers Industrial
Union, at its special meeting ir

Workers Forced to
Eat Less Since NRA,
U. S. Report Shows

WASHINGTON, May 17-Work-
ing class families all over the coun-
try have had to get along with less
groceries since Roosevelt started
his N.R.A-New Deal, the latest re-
port on food sales issued by the
us. Department of Commerce re-
veals.
Also, this report reveals that
grocery sales have shown an per
cent increase in dollar sales during
the first four months of this year
period during which retail food
prices rose 10 per cent. This means
that the workers paid more money
and got less food for it than year
ago before Roosevelt took Office.
The official report. of the Depart
ment of Commerce confirms the
recent figures issued by the A. & P
Grocery Chain which show a drop
of 10 per cent in the quantity of
groceries sold over the counter dur
ing the past year.
