MOOD0F WORKERS
Has Been Denied Credit for
Share in Nations Max
ing, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 2-Men who
work with their hands-the miners,
farmers. steel workers, lumberjacks
and carpenter%have a new champion
for their cause in Louis Adamic. the
author.
Manuel labor" Adamic said,
should get more credit for the part it
has had in the building of the Nation.
Lack Of respect for these people, too.
has created one of the most vital
problems the United States faces in
connection with its foreign-born resi-
dents and their children"
Adamic was a hobo" a sailor and
a laborer before he began to write,
and the problems of the foreign-born
are close to his heart-becauSe he is
one of them.
He came to New York as lad of
IA from his native Yugoslavia, joined
the Army three years later and fought
in the World War. After several years
as bum wandering the country over"
he settled in San Pedro, Calf.
Regrets Inarticulateness.
The plight Of the foreign-born to-
day, he believes, is made sharply criti-
cal by the inarticulate older folk un-
able TO explain to their children the
beauty of their racial backgrounds and
cultures.
THE children" he said, don't re-
spect their parents. some Of them
'hunkies' like me, If you please, be-
cause they work with their hands.
Everybody wants penthouse, q chauf-
feur, lots Of money and white-collar
job.
These second generation foreigners,
there are 25,0OoOo0 Of them, are an
important element in the United
States. and one that few Of us are
aware of.
If these children could know of
their racial and cultural backgrounds,
realize that the manuel labor their
parents have done has been vital to
the country, I believe they would
lose their feeling Of inferiority.
Inferiority Is Inverted.
This manlfeStS Itself VarlouSly.
Some become patriotic, only their pa
triotism is mere lip-service. without
basis in conviction or feeling. Not
a few turn their feeling Of tnferiority
inside out and get tough and loud; in
some cases anti-social.
Those who do know Of their rich
backgrounds feel good. Now they are
proud. The others are dangling in
the air. That so many of them are
criminals is an American development.
There is little crime, usually, in their
own countries" -
Adamic has just completed a trip
through the Middle West, visiting
with the foreign born, talking with
them about their problems. Much has
been done with these "so-called for
eign groups" he said, in Pittsburgh.
Cleveland, Detroit and Milwaukee.
but not nearly enough"
Everybody seemed to think" he
said, that things have picked up.
But they have an inner fear that the
Improvement won't 60 on. Working
people are sort Of lost. They are sore
and discontented. but not radical"

that automobile workers who have

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE meat
packing industry experienced moder-
ate improvement during 1888. and the
forces now working toward an In
crease in general purchasing power
should enable it to continue its gains
states the Index, monthly publication
of the New York Trust Co., in its
March issue.
The total Of all meats produced un-
der Federal inspection rose almost a
billion pounds over production for
1882 to an estimated 1854, ,oOO, ,000
pounds, while consumption increased
from 1o.756,0 ,000,0 600 pounds to H.
393000,000 pounds. Exports gained
with those of pork increasing 30 per
cent. and reversal of the downward
price trend enabled the packers to
show substantial improvement in
profits as compared with 1881 and
1882, when the industry as whole

Some uncertainty as to future de-
velopments arises from the possible

~ OOD-BY, Winter.
One Of the oueerest sea-
7 sons in the experience OF
~ the Weather Bureau will
pass into the chill eternity
Of dead Winters this week.
1t was as If some cosnic giant had
picked up the United States and
twisted it northeastward. In Feb
ruary. especially. Washington was
placed almost exactly in the position
Of Albany. N. Y, on the climatologi-
cal map. Philadelphia was put in the
place of Eastport, Me. and New York
City Of Burlington, VT. And at the
same time the little town of Havre,
Mont. where all-tirne cold records
have been broken in past Winters,
had the normal season of Southern
Missouri.
The first Winter month, December,
was abnormally warm for the whole
country except for a narrow strip
along the Canadian border from
North Dakota to Vermont. Every
where else was piling up an excess
temperature of 10 TO IL degrees above
AACA iioA oohSs Ohlludls wac ENCLl
hotter. Everywhere 1t was above the
mean Winter temperatures except
for the extreme northeastern corner
Of Maine
The real fun started about February
!. with temperatures all through the
area north of Richmond and east Of
the Mississippi breaking all time low
records. Washington's mean for the
month was II degrees below normal,
giving 1t q mean Of below for the
whole season. Richmond and Balti-
more also had q below averages for
the winter. Boston had below and
New York City 3 below.
The whole Rocky Mountain and
Great Plains area was picking flowers
while the Atlantic States we're shovel
Ing coal. Northern Montana was "a
above normal for the month, repre-
senting the enormous excess tempera-
ture of 616 degrees for the % days.
Below Virginia the temperatures
we're just about normal.
Cold Breaks Out Far
To Eastward.
Cold flows out Of the Arctic basin
like water out of q flooded lake
breaking through at the points of least
resistance.
For some years past the most fire.
uuent channel has been through the
basin of the Mckenzie River, flowing
into the Arctic through Western
Canada. The Rocky Mountains and
the country just to the east of them
get the full benefit of the cold
freshets."
This year the cold broke out far
to the eastward, over Hudson Bay,
Eastern Canada and the Great Lakes.
So the Far West btsked In Spring
sunshine while thst East was sub
merged In the cold torrents.
But the last big storm with which
February departed came down the
old channel, through the Mckenzie
Basin, southwark and eastward to
Central Missouri, and then eastward
and northeastward. It may be that
the Mckenzie channel. plugged up
for some mysterious reason during
most Of the past Winter, has been
opened again.
Next Winter may be q record
breaker.
DR.. Charles G. Abbott, secretary
Of the Smithsonian Institution, be-
heves that there Is a strong tendency
for weather to repeat itself every %
years. But he does not predict. There
are too many comphcating factors.
