 All the money realized by this popular plan will be divided as follows 50 percent of this fund will be devoted to prize monev and administrative expenses.

 It is expected that plans will be d seussed for. the immediate be- ginning of the racing season, as these short races are very import ant toward developing dogs for the long races.

NEW YORK. = Brooklyn workers

be tried Monday on framed charge
OF assaulting an officer.
Mrs. Tins was beaten and ar

Shield No. 1926, on April 20, when
she failed to move quickly enough
to suit Werner, who was trying to
clear the sidewalk of the Prospect
Market.
The Fuel Lee Branch, which has
sent two delegations to Mayor La
Guardia without success, on Thurs
day determined to send another del
egation to Police Commissioner
Organ to ask Mrs. Tins uncon-
ditional release and the prosecu-
ton of the patrolman. Mrs. Tim
is at liberty in $500 bail.

THE current spectacle at the Sara
toga race track affords a spicy
example of the elements surround
ing the sport of kings in the United
States. Never have the gamblers,
politicians and society figures
sported so handsomely on the in
nocent green. 1t used to be the
custom to raid the joints once or
twice during the racing season, to
show that virtue was still trium-
plant, and incidentally to raise the
graft collected by the local fathers,
but since the repeal of the open
and legal betting ban, sin has held
sway like Hamilton Fish Jr. among

low much the repeal of open and

State can be seen, however, from a
statement in the New York Herald
Tribune.
Not within the span of twenty
six years" says the writer, has this
historic town throbbed to such opti-
mism for gain as the native this
afternoon and evening was bowling

The legislators will look into this.
They had no thought of gain when
they passed the repeal. Somebody
is always taking advantage of the
government of the people, by the
people and for the people.

tDally Worker Midwest Bureau)

tUAlN worker Midwest Bureau
CHICAGO, H., Aug. 3.-Eighteen
appointees for posts on the railroad
National Board of Adjustment as
representatives" of labor were
named here Tuesday by a closed
session of the Grand Lodge Chiefs
of the 81 standard railroad unions
who are members of the Associa-
ton of Railway Labor Executives.
The workers, who are supposed
to be represented by these men, had
no say in their appointment.
Harry Shaw, of the Railroad
Brotherhoods Unity Movement,
stated today that the whole Board
of Adjustment is a fraud, and that
it can serve no useful purpose for
the workers.
He pointed out that there are
eighteen so-called labor" men on
the board and eighteen bosses. If
only one of the labor leaders was
bought off, any dispute would be
lost for the workers.
Even if the labor representatives
were all honest and incorruptible,
Shaw pointed out, there would be a
tie vote, in which case the Presi-
dents board of arbitration would
have the final say, and would have
power to settle any question with
out appeal.
The Railroad Brotherhoods Unity
Movement, while pointing out that
the board Of adjustment must be
removed, is also raising the slogan
of election of workers to the posts
on the board by referendum of
railroad workers.

LOV Pay, Long Hours Under the A.A.A.,
Sho'On in Surrey Of Sugar Beet Fields
Conditions of Increasing
Poverty Admitted in
Data to Roosevelt
BY HY KRAVIF
HahOr Research ASSN

A study covering half of the no.
600 contract workers in the sugar
beet fields of the United States has
recently been issued, but has not
been given general distribution. 1t
is mimeographed 55-page docu-
ment, bearing the title: Report
for the Committee on Labor Con-
ditions in the Growing of Sugar
Beets," by w. Lewis Abbot. The
investigation was authorized by
President Roosevelt through Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins. Here are
some of its main findings.
Wages: Average wage per acre
far contract workers throughout the
country in the summer of 1888 was
$13.87. Qn Colorado the average
was lowest-$1237) This is the
equivalent to about $7S per worker
for the three to five weeks season.
With an average of four to fam
lily, the average family'S earnings
for the year 1888 were only 1912
Since only about one third of the
workers are able to supplement
their income from the beet fields,
this means that most families are
forced to live an entire year on the
seasons income of 1912. AS a result,
many families are dependent upon
the Federal Emergency Relief Adj
ministration or other sources to
carry them through the winter.
Average wages in 1888 were even
lower than in 1882.
Wages have decreased more than
prices received by the owners. The
average wage rate in 1888 was 72.7
per cent of the rate paid during the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration's base period-August, 1909,
to July, 1914. The purchasing power
of the contract workers in 1888 was
66.7 per cent of the base period
The report states: Exact parity at
the average price level of 1888
would be given by a wage of 5000
per acre"-that is, nearly 81 more
an acre than the 1898 average.
Wages have decreased more in
proportion than the gross income
from beets. In the base period
1909-14 the grower received an
average price of 1888 per ton fol
the beets and paid contract work
ers $1908 per acre. In 1888, when
the price received by growers was
$500, or only 26c less than in the
base period wages per acre aver
aged 1921 less than the base period
Child labor: About 14,743, or 13.t
per cent of the 10000 workers, were
found to be under Is years of age
Employment of children 10 or II
years old "for long hours a day il
common in beet work" Elsewhere
the study remarks that children az
young as six and seven years ole
work for nine hours or more day
and are kept out of school for thi
purpose"
Hours Of work "are long during
brief periods. In blocking and thin
ming, work for II hours day is no
uncommon" In other branches O.
work, hours are limited by daylight
