It's a lively household when
those children dash in from
school. Heels clatter. There is
pushing and showing and high
pitched laughter.
The young Darrigos-second
editions, most of them, of Stef-
fano-have dark hair, swapping
black eyes, and wide smiles, re-
vealing white teeth.
They're all feeling good these
days, because they're no longer on
relief rolls.
That going on relief was blow
to Steffano Darrigo. Because it
was hard for him, it was hard
for his wife, too.
For Is years Darrigo had had
his own fruit store. Once he even
owned three of them. All the
family helped in the store.

worked 49," he says.
DUT that didn't help matters
ID when times became Dad. Two
months ago Darrigo lost his store.
He kept his truck and went into
the country, selling fruit. 1t didn't
pay. He lost the truck and there
was no way to feed the family
except to go on relief.
All that is changed now. The
father is working and so are the
older boys.
Were off the relief" the OAR
rigo youngsters exclaim cheerily.
They think it's great.
Asked about the 100000 prize,
Mrs. Darrigo merely smiles and
shakes her head. She will talk,
though, about her family. Raising
II isn't so hard, she says, if you
can buy the food.
1t takes a lot for the Darrigos.
When they had the store there

vegetables. Two dozen eggs it

meal-one apiece, and the older

VX1ASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-
w Farm women have built
for their own products a cooper
alive retail market now doing a
business of more than a million
dollars a year.
How this has been done is out
lined in the current Consumers

Counsel of AAA.
Under the title, Farm Women

of how groups OF farm women

Lowndes County, Georgia, is
cited as a typical example. Be-
sides two roadside markets, which
had their start in 1882, retail

4 More than 1900 bootleg
miners climbed back today to
back-breaking work in their coal
holes, hundreds Of trucks loaded
with stolen fuel again rumbled
through the towns of this region
on their way to markets in East
ern cities. 1t was business as
usual" with the participants
APPARENTLY unconcerned that the
great anthracite companies have
just attempted to focus a strong
searchlight of publicity on the
unlawful industry.
Departing from a traditional
policy in which press relations
have had little part, the great
companies, through the Anthra-
cite Institute of New York,
brought into the region Is repre-
sentatives of metropolitan news
papers to view a problem which
the visitors found as hard to
crack" and almost as black as the
coal itself.
The reporters found a sharp
conflict going on between the
property rights of the coal COM
panles and what the bootleggers
conceive to be their human rights
to make a living-and with the
latter set of rights undoubtedly
in control of the situation.
The problem today is essentially
the same as it has been for more
than three years, but it has
grown to such size that the COM
panles now recognize it as
threat to their existence. Some
observers see in it the seeds of
possible breakdown of law en-
forcement and perhaps of civil
war and bloodshed.
Law enforcement already has
broken down, but only with re-
spect to the refusal of the Of
flclalS in three counties-Schuvl-
XIII, Northumberland and Column
bla-to defy local sentiment and
protect the properties of the coal
companies. State authorities
have refused to intervene, at
least until the county officers
call for help.

and they point out the obvious
IacJ that many bootleg trucks do
not carry license plates.
The visitors saw several in
stances OF public highways caved
IN over bootleg shafts. They saw
one hole being driven into a hill
directly beneath an old cemetery.
They saw boys under the legal age
working in illegitimate mines, and
they saw a few women helping
their men folks" in surface op-
erations.
They were informed of the dan
gerouS development of "barons" in
the bootleg lndustry-men who
hire other men to mine the coal,
following the capitalistic exam
pie by paying as low a wage as
possible. The company officers
declared that one of the "barons"
employs 80 miners and truckers
and is using the same general
business methods that he followed

ton days.

an RFC loan to expand the Pen
sacola yards.
His application was submitted
in June. Previously a prospectus
had been submitted. John Slater,
a director of New York Ship at
that time, wrote on May IS to his
company's president, G. L. Bardo:
Il was able to secure some ex-
tracts from this prospectus which
will indicate the scope of the

Mr.. Slater obtained the extracts.

A. Harry Moore of New Jersey,
now United States Senator, ask
ing that Gov. Moore seek to OBJ

(to Mr.. Wilde) at Washington.
Next day one of Mr.. Bardo's
executives reported to his chief
that he had "a long talk with
Henry Maloney in connection
with the Wilder matter. Mr.. Ma
loney understands this situation
particularly well, and while he
was very busy, having just been
sworn in today as collector of in

On July 7 Gov. Moore informed
Mr.. Bardo that he had today

The correspondence continued
with exchanges between Mr.. Far

Admiral H. L. Cone, chairman Of

It's only a year or so
since the Darrigos heard of
the Millar will. Even now,
Mrs. Darrigo doesn't quite
understand it. Stefano, her
man, does, though, and has
explained it. Five hundred
thousand dollars for the
most babies. But that is a
lot of money!
To Mrs. Darrigo, Italianborn, to
whom rearing children, keeping
them fed and clean and healthy
