DRAW FOR
MILK INDUSTRY
Would Limit Production
If Necessary For Stabil-
izatiOn OF Prices.

A bill to regulate the milk indus
try in this State was introduced in
the House Monday afternoon jointly
by Representatives Price and Pryor,
both of New Castle county.
This bill will aim to regulate the
production and sale of milk from
the farm to the table, as well as the
production of ice cream and all milk
products such as butter and cheese
ID will create Il board of three mem
bers to be known as the Milk Con-
troll Board. They will he appointed
by the Governor on the recommend
alton and nomination of the milk
producers and their appointment
will have to be confirmed by the
Senate at an extraordinary session
the Governor will be authorized TO
call for this purpose.
The bill provides that no member
Of the board can be actively engaeed
in politics or hold any other FEEDER
al, State, county or city office.
II would be the duty of this COM
mission to fix the price of milk at
the farm to the producers and also
to fix the price at which nj Will be
sold to the consumer. II is proposed
that the price will be sufficient only
to permit of limited return on the
investment the distributor has in the
industry in order TO insure him a
reasonable return and at the same
time enable the consumer TO gel
milk at fair cost.
Il would be within the power Of
the board to limit the production Ol
milk if the members deem this nee
essary To preserve the stability of
the market. The board also will have
authority To control the sanitary
and health conditions under which
milk is produced at the dairy farms.
the milk stations and the plants OF
the distributors.
Should this bill become law it
would make dairymen of Delaware
of the Pennsylvania
dairymen. something the Delaware
farmers have been striving to ac-
cOmplish for several years and il
will remove them from the influence
of the Pennsylvania control board
and give them their own independ-
ent group under which they believe
they can engage in dairy farming
and make a reasonable profit for
themselves and at the same time
supply the consumer at prices much
less than are now charged.

lows:
Editor Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Sir
We have received in this Office an
anonymous complaint from an EN-
plOyee of a Milford firm.
The letter, while appearing to be
a legitimate complaint, does not
contain sufficient information for
us to take any action against the
firm in question. AS you know it is
very difficult TO follow up AN anOny-
nous letter of any kind.
Therefore, would you he kind
enough 10 include in your next issue
q story to the effect that we have
received this anonymous complaint,
but are unable to take action because
of lack of details. You might also
stress the point that under no cir
cumstances is the cOmplainants
name revealed to the employer. Our
orders are very definite on this
phase of handling complaints. If
the 8uthor of the letter which we
have received will write us and sign
his or her name, we shall be very
glad to investigate the firm COM
planned against.
Your cooperation in this matter
will he greatly appreciated.
Your very truly,
JOHN H. FARRELL.

BURY 3CHILDREN

So badly were the bodies of the
children parched and charred they
were all placed in one large casket
and after ceremonies, inferred in the

children from the John NJ. Clayi1n
school. where Viola was a pupil OF
the seventh grade, attended The in-

Fire Co.. who fought the flames in
vain also attended the funeral
The whole community was shOcn-
ed by the tragedy. one of the most
serious in the county for years. II
was at first thought that Marshall.
the S-year-Old son, who leaped out
of the window after begging his
sister to follow. had suffered a brOk-

Beebe Hospital proved that the boy
only suffered bruises and shock.
The three children were burned
to death when a lamp left by the
parents who had gone to pay call
on IA neighboF fell downstairs. It-is
thought that the oldest girl in some
manner knocked the lamp over after
she had put the children to bed. She
tried to put the blaze ont with "A

was apparently overcome and trap

fire.

Occasionally they are modified by abb

modified by the development, long
after Nautilus died, of scientific
birth-control. "Gresham's Law"

Aristophanes referred to it in the

works in a special way if govern
ment locks up all the good money in

At the time Of the Presidents

economists had not registered any
public disapproval Of the Govern

mayed by some of the measures of
the Spring of 1888, but as a group,
they had kept silent. They were still
nursing the delusion that these meas
ures were temporary and desperate
expedlents of a new administration
facing an emergency. They were still
relying on prediction declarations

Fascist Labor Courts
End l35,84O Disputes

ROME.-The Fascist labor courts,
created to remove bitterness from
class conflicts" have settled 135, 5,840
collective or individual disputes in
seven years, according to the report
of the ministry of justice. The re-
port is the first to give a detailed
history of the workings Of a novel
institution of the Fascist regime.
Settled disputes have been classified
under three divisions. Since its crea-
ton in 1925 the labor court has
handed down 86,505 decisions affect
ing labor contracts. Several, includ-
ing one that the national labor
charter had legal status, have been
fundamental in clarifying the rela-
tions of capital and labor. In
addition to the adjudication by the
court, 29,144 disputes have been
settled by the labor magistrates under
their special conciliatory authority.
and 20,191 cases have been dropped
before Cancellation or a formal de-
cision became necessary. The ministry
of justice reported that on November
30, 1888, 9,449 unsettled disputes
remained before the courts.
OF the cases, by far the greater
number were individual disputes.
Only "a were classified as collective
disputes. of which number IA were
settled by decision and 20 by con-
ciliation.

TT IS high time that loose talk
about the economists should stop.
There Is no reference here to the
L bucolic wit of professional come
dams. If Mr.. Will Rogers an
nounces on Fathers day that with
the exception of the economists
fathers are the most over-rated men
in the country, this writer enjoys the
humor. He appreciates these refer
ences to the economists just as he
appreciates the less conscious humor
displayed when Mr.. Rogers discusses
the silver question.
What is resented is the endless talk
about government by professor"
and visionary academic theories"
and the "vagaries of the professional
mind" Even if these appellations
were valid, which they are not. they
would still be obnoxious, for they re-
mind one of the official scapegoat Of
medieval times. They make of the
academic profession a vicarious VIC
tim of attacks that more courageous
critics would launch at more august
personages. The ponderous editorials
in defense of the professors are even
more fatuous, for they concede the
false charge that the economists are
responsible for the strange melange
Of experimentation and regimenta-
ton that goes by that ambiguous
title. The Recovery Program.
For these many months editors,
business leaders and politicians have

Japan Floods Market,
But Sacrifices Labor

OSAKA, Japan.-Japan is able to
flood the markets of the world with
her goods-dumping it is impohtely
called-and to leave her nearest
competitor laps behind, but she is
doing so by sacrificing her workers.
Upon this, social reformers in Japan
will agree and do agree.
Examine her two chief products,
Silk and cotton. The majority OF
workers in these two industries are
women-their average age ranging
from 16 tG 80 years-and the pre-
ponderant majority of them live on
the premises and have on an average
only IL days off year, these being
on national holidays.
The average working day in the
silk mills Is from 6 o'clock In the
morning until S o'clock in the eve
ming, a total of IL hours, and with
two 15-minute intervals OF during
that 1l-hour day.

bar to full participation in social and
other extracurricular activities.
Consider Blackburn, which has a
most distinctive and distinguished rec
ord. 1t was founded in 1857 at Car
linville, small town half way be-
tween Springfield and st. Louis, and
hourished for years as a training school
for the sons and daughters of Corn
Belt Presbyterians. In 1912 its pres
tige and plant had dwindled so that
nothing much was left except three
6ecrepit buildings, handful Of stu
dents and memories of vanished en-
dowment. In that year, however, the
college got a new president and
new license to live. DR.. VIII
liam M. Hudson, a graduate OF
Princeton in Booth Tarkington's class,
had an idea and an abundance of
Yankee ingenuity and saw chance to
use both at Blackburn. He took the
presidency on the understanding that
he would scrap tradition and make q
sef-help college.
To this end he chose to do modest
Job. but a thorough one. He aban-
doned the four-year course in favor of
high quality two-year junior college
course, and planned instruction ac-
rordingly. At present there are u

Bile. The administration seems to be
here, as in some other instances,
shrewder than its opponents. AS far
back as last July the President
thought the matter sufficiently i'm
portant to Justify his including in
radio address to the Nation a dis
miSSal Of the economists. He said:
II have no sympathy with the pro-
fessional economists who insist that
things must run their course and
that human agencies can have no in
fiuence on economic ills. One rea-
son is that I happen to know that
professional economists have changed
their definition of economic laws
every five or ten years for very long
time"
The statement itself made 1t clear

2. The working students problem is
solved because the college itself sup
plies him with work.
The interest of prospective students
in the self-help colleges is intense. The
president of one Of them described his
institution in a brief radio talk in
February, 1888. He was on the air
from 11:40 to 11:48. In the 20 days
following his talk he received 1911
inquiries from AZ States and three Ca
madam provinces. This year he re-
peated the talk, and in three weeks
had 1926 replies.
A number of colleges have developed
extensive student-work programs. The
distinctive examples of self-help COL
leges as such are Park College, located
at Parkville, Mo-, and Blackburn Col
lege, located at Carlinville, Ill. These
are in no sense industrial schools. The
work features have been provided to
bring the costs within the reach of
many who otherwise would be de-
prived of an education. This creates
q student democracy where all areNon
the same basis, an essential difference
from the college where considerable
percentage Of the students work, but
not under the supervision of the college
authorities, and where the working
student often dlids his work serious

~OLLEGE entrance applicants
from now on may be asked
how much money they have.
~ If the amount is too small
they may not get in. One
big university has already put this
rule into effect. For today there are
more students trying to earn their
way than there are jobs.
This makes it tough for some am
bilious youngsters. Bill is q young

"Broke!" he replied.
''I took him to lunch and he told me
his troubles. knew something about
his fathers financial difficulties, but
Bill told me about his own. He had en-
tered Yale, he said, with about 5000
in sight and high hopes of getting
through somehow. He expected to
work and he hoped to earn scholar
ships He had been told time and
again that ANY American boy with

good university. Bill shook his head
over the coffee and said:
Not now, he can't"
He found that scholarship and loan

the ladder. Jobs there were-Some-

and came nowhere near meeting his
needs. At last he quit and returned
to Chicago to do nothing; he could
do it cheaper there.
Bill is one of thousands. On the
other hand due to lack of industrial
employment. the number of high
school graduates who must either go
to college or sit idly at home has
greatly increased. On the other hand,
home funds are low or non-exlstent,
and the chances to earn in college are
fewer. Ever since 1890 the college
student who has to help himself has
been more and more of an admins
trative problem. Russell T. Sharpe,
secretary for student employment at
Harvard, says that the most acute
effect of the depression on Harvard
students is Its relentless destruction
of opportunities for those who want
and need to work" Many Of the
Jobs formerly available for students
are now given. properly, to the un-
employed heads of families.
The colleges, of course, have en-
ployment bureaus to help place needy
students who are looking for work.
But even in the best of times it seems
bard to find enough work Of the
usual kind. One college official de-
clares fatty that adequate means do
not exist, have not existed and prob
ably will not exist to care for the
present proportion Of needy students.
A committee at Yale after a thor
ough study recommended that the
proportion of self-supporting students
entering the university should be
controlled as part of the general
problem of selective admission" This
has been done. Other institutions
are doing the same or seriously con-
sidering it.
Before closing the door finally on
the boy or girl whose only disqualifi-
cation for a college education is pow
erty, some administrators are turning
with new interest to the study of what
the self-help colleges have been doing
for years. There is only handful of
these at present. Some of them do
not take students who have money
enough to go elsewhere. They have
two primary accomplishments to their
credit:
