THE AMERICAN WORKER

A fair deal for labor has always
been cardinal principle in this
country.
Temporary economic upheavals
should not blind us TO the fact that
the wages, working conditions and
living standards of American work
men, skilled and unskilled, are by
far the best in the world.
The labor leader who attempts to
stir up dissension in time of crisis,
and make impossible demands upon
industry, is the honest workers
worst enemy.
American industry is doing its
best to provide new jobs, pay fair
wages and provide the best possible
working conditions. The great bulk
of workers know and appreciate that
and they will do well TO beware OF
the agitator who, like the crooked
politician or employer, seeks only his
only profit.

MD. WHEAT PRICES HAMPERED
BY SURPLUS IN PACIFIC
NORTHWEST

Possibility of a drastic slump in
Maryland wheat prices as a result of
a huge surplus of Pacific Coast
wheat which has accumulated since
the demise of the North Pacific Ex-
port Association, an adjunct of the
AAA, is predicted by G. E. Wise, Jr.,
secretary of the Maryland Farm Blu
reau Federation.
That this possibility is no idle
threat is shown by figures disclosing
to what extent wheat flour from the
Pacific Northwest is finding its way
to the Eastern and Southern mar
kets. In 1894, shipments of wheat
-four from ports on the Columbia
River and Puget Sound, TO ports on
the Gulf and the Atlantic seaboard,
totalled over 100000 barrels, and
the present rate in 1885 indicate thai
shipments may reach a total equiva
lent to twice the entire Maryland
wheat crop. In fact, the competi-
ton which these shipments is bring
Maryland and Ohio, whose wheat
normally moves to southern mills, is
already being felt. At a recent
meeting in Richmond, Va, the flour
millers in attendance openly deciar-
ed they were no longer able 20 com
pete with the Pacific Coast flour now
being shipped by water and dumped
in southern ports at prices ranging
from 20 cents to dollar per barrel
below -four milled from wheat grown
in his area.
Crop prospects in the Pacific North
west already point to surplus of
30-million bushels in excess of local
demand which, in the absence of ex
port markets, seems destined to turn
up on the Eastern seaboard. To
meet this threat, millers believe that
prices for local wheat will have to be
reduced from Is to 20 cents per
bushel. A further blow to the East
ern wheat markets is seen in the pos
sibility of a partial shutdown of
southern mills as result of increas-
ed milling operations on the Pacific
Coast.
To avert such catastrophe, the
American Farm Bureau is urging
Secretary Wallace to establish the
North Pacific Export Association
which, in 1888, disposed of more
than 2S million bushels of wheat to
the Orient. The : bsiGy to cover The
price differential at that time was 23
cents per bushel. With present
wheat prices in Japan, for example.
only five or six cents below American
c~pcrt quotations, it would be pos
sible, Farm Bureau officials believe,
to dispose of the entire present sur
plus at no greater cost than it took
to dispose of the 20 million bushels
Of the 1888 crop.

FOR A SAFE FOURTH

Thursday of next week is the
Glorious Fourth! Independence Day
of old was celebrated with reckless
abandon.
Hundreds of persons of all ages
lost their lives playing with fire
works, guns and explosives. Others
were drowned or killed in motor
accidents.
Now, the Fourth divides catas-
trophe "honors" with almost any
weekend; except by virtue OF the
ceaseless efforts of saftey organlza-
lions and accident and fire proven
ton workers, it is apt to be shade
safer But, in spite of safety edu-
cational campaigns, our great Amerl-
can people are careless, and their
Fourth of July patriotism is always
Taught with a heavy toll of a@ci
dents.
In recognition of the chief holi
day hazards, AUTOMOBILES
and swimming, the National Bureau
of Casualties and Surety Under
writer's offers the following advice:
If you go on a motor trip make
sure your car is in safe operating
condition; drive safely; keep to the
right; drive at a reasonable rate OF
speed; have 500 feet of clear dis
lance ahead before you attempt to
pass other cars. Watch out for
pedestrians.
If you go swimming-swim IN SAFE
places. Things to examine are
depth, sunken debris and impurities,
currents, tides. Be sure to stay
within your own limits. Wait at
least two hours after eating, then
take along a friend for safety's sake
If you must use fireworks,-be on
the alert every minute. Give your
self plenty of space. Keep them
away from infammable materials
Keep away from smaller children
and animals. Cauterize all small
cuts and bruises immediately-tenta-
nus poisoning is swift and deadly.
The best advice about fireworks is;
Use something else.

VEY PRO-
VlDES MEASURING STICK
ON RECOVERY

That there has been a generally
prevailing pickup in activity all
ding the line, during the first quarter
Of 1895, is shown by the results of
~ Investors Syndicate in coopera-
ion with is state managers in SO
principal cities in the United States
and Canada.
With only one dissenting voice, the
-pinion was unanimous that general
business was considerably better dur
ing these three months. The most
Conservative put the Improvement at
10, while others rated it as high as
IS % in their communities.
In many sections the crop pros
.)ects exert an unusually favorable
nnuence on business in the trading
reas, being the best in years.
In very few instances is the Fed
raj Housing Administration stimu-
.ating new building, but opinion was
lmost unanimous that much remod-
ling is being done with FILA aid.
PARTICULARLY in The South and along
he West Coast is the Government
apparently making Roadway.
Only six reports answered mo- to
he question, Are employment con-
itions betser?" But three of these
Xix reported that wages had increas-
ed, as was agreed by all who favor
ably reported on employment. In
practically every case the tagging
employment reflected local labor
situation that will eventually be
Strengthened out.
Unquestionably, the automobile
business has materially helped to
stabilize employment in many sec
tions of the country. And this in
dust1y's phenomenal business has
coroilary in the fact that savings ac-
counts are almost unanimously re-
ported to have increased in the first
quarter CT '35 compared with "a.
about 90" is the average figure
of increase, although one southern
state reported $50.
Further proof that the family
budget is again yielding some surplus
is provided by the Investors Syndi-
Gates own figures on business writ
ten during these three months, which
was 1907 greater in contract face
amount during 1934's first quarter.

CCC JOBS GO BEGGING

Jobs under the new Civilian Con-
servation Corps expansion program
are going begging in Maryland.
Partly as a result of drop in re-
lief rolls, and partly because OF a
recent Federal ruling that recruits
must be drawn only from families
actually receiving relief. State Re-
lief Administrator Harry Greenstein
admitted the State will be unable to
fill it's quota of 1858 juniors and 40
veterans.
On June IS, the first day of regis
tration under the revised program,
only As of daily quota of 1O9
juniors were recruited. And Ameri-
can Legion officials asserted there
were not enough World War yeter-
ans ON relief rolls able to qualify for
the veterans quota.
Greenstein said: Maryland's fail
ure to meet it's CCC quota is due to
the recent ruling by the United States
Department of Labor that enrolment
must be from families actually re-
ceiving relief.
Formerly, we could certify appli-
Giants from what we term marginal
eligible for relief, but not
actually on the rolls"
Asserting there are now no more
than Approximately 1000" eligible
boys, he added:
1.-THE limitations now imposed on
applicants have made 1t impossible
tor us to recruit the quota allowed. :"

BETTER HOUSING LOANS

Acceptance of modernization loans
fer insurance has been extended four
months by an amendment to the Ma
tonal Housing Act and means that
the Better Housing Programs ali
over the country will continue to
function until April 1st, 1886, in
stead of January list, 1885, as
originally stipulated in the Act ac-
lording to Henry w. Webb, director
for Maryland IF the Federal Housing
Administration.
At the same time the extension
vas announced another amendment
was explained which will raise the
limitation of loans of this type from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t was pointed
cut shat the home owner or small
property owner can still secure mod
ernization credit loans from 500 to
$4,000 repayable in equal monthly
installments up to three years and in
ome cases five years. The interest
rate is 5 per cent discounted and the
loans are insured against loss up to
20 per cent of the total.
The new loans from $4,000 to
$4,000 are for the purpose of
financing repairs and alterations on
such properties as apartment houses,
hotels, office business, or other com
mercial buildings, hospitals, orphan
ages, colleges, schools, manufacture
'ng or industrial plants. The maxi
mum limit is $4,000 for each build
ing According to Mr. Webb, this
new amendment should result in the
opening of a new field of financing
Letters are being mailed to every
householder in the ten principal
cities and towns of Maryland, Mr.
Webb stated. These letters explain
the things which can be financed
through a modernization credit plan
and list the financial institutions in
each town which is actively making
these loans.

YOU CAN'T WIN

The reckless driver, like the
habitual criminal, can't win.
Every newspaper carries the evil
dence of that, in accounts of those
whose lives have been sacrificed to
speed, to incompetence, and to care
Iessness at the wheel.
The tragic end to the great career
of T. E. Shaw, the famed Lawrence
of Arabia" was headlined in the
papers of the world a few weeks ago.
Not yet 40, Shaw had done war SER
vice whose value to the English
cause was so great as to make it al
most unappraisable. He had dis
tinguished himself as translator of
Greek classics He was one of the
most brilliant of living archaeolo-
gists He was a military and me-
ehanical genius of the first rank. 1t
was certain that his period of great
est achievement still lay in the years
ahead.
Shaws "hobby" was to drive auto
mobiles and motorcycles at incred-
bly, high speeds on country roads.
According to news accounts, his cycle
was going at around eighty miles an
hour when he was forced to deliber-
ately crash to avoid striking boy on
1 bicycle. A few days later he died,
without regaining consciousness. His
loctor said that it was best that he
lid not live, because of the terrible
INJURIES his brain had sustained in
he accident Congenital reckless
ness had robbed the world of one of
Is gifted minds.
Every year in this country alone,
ome $4,000 people die-victims to
improperly motor vehicles.
Among them are the famous and the
obscure, the brilliant and the medi-
gcre. Each life lost means that the
lation's resources have been Slapped
each death means misery and un-
happiness to others. Reckless driv-
ing is an unbeatable game, at which
he player always loses-and which
likewise penalties and robs the inno-
cent.

STORES FACE ACTION ON GROSS
TAX LAW

The State Comptroller's Office will
act toward the collection of the one
per cent gross-sales receipt tax from
tailers in Baltimore city.
The group represents retailers
who received tax blanks from the
Office for April and May but who
have failed to make the required
payments. Some have not filed re-
turn, while others sent in the report
without a remittance.
Under the gross-receipt tax law
the taxes for any month must be paid
by the tenth of the month following,
unless a specific extension is granted
by the Comptroller's Office.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY FUNDS

Asserting that the allotment of
Federal Funds for highway purposes
in this State will produce nothing of
permanent value if the money is
spent under the prescribed limita-
lions, the Keystone Automobile Club
of Maryland advocates a redraft of
the rules, permitting more leeway to
the Highway Department in provid
ing useful and lasting improvements
to the road system.
Albert E. Buckley, Manager of the
Club, is advised by the Clubs engi-
neers that about all that can be done
under the rules now in effect is to
grade and drain roads.
obviously" he said, this char
acter of work is required only in sec
lions not yet reached by the States
road program. 1t is equally clear
that little benefit would accrue to
the workers sought to be aided by
the highway grants-the unemploy-
ed in and near centers of population.
But the greatest objection is the ex-
penditure of present and future allot-
ments on work which can be of no
permanent value, when its use could
result not only in taking men off the
dole, but in carrying out highway
projects of lasting benefit to the
State"
The Federal ruling referred to
provides that projects cannot cost
more than $1400 total direct ex-
penditure for labor, materials and
i2ci5entals PER man per year.
Anyone familiar with highway
construction, the Club official con-
tinued, knows that little can be ac-
complished under such drastic limi-
tations Certainly, no roads can be
built. The total yearly expenditure
per man will just about cover the
cost of drainage and grading
neither is problem in this State.
1--WE believe the Highway Depart-
ment should be permitted to go
ahead with projects of permanent
nature. Construction of permanent
highways is a business s.imulant,
spreading employment in many lines
and aiding most materially in eco
nomic recovery

After the works program is well
started, paid for by new Federal
funds, direct Federal Relief will be

DANGER AHEAD

Experienced health officers all
over the country are sending out
warnings of the risks involved to life
and limb in the Fourth of July cele-
brations that depend upon dangerous
fireworks for their thrills. AS sub
stitute, they are urging that safer
and saner methods of observing In
dependence Day be followed. You
can have good time and show your
patriotism more effectively in other
ways" Dr. r. H. Riley, Director of
the Maryland State Department of
Health said, than by firing off dan
gerous explosives. And by all means
keep such things out of the hands of
young children.
Largely as the result of the cam
paign that was started number of
years ago by the American Medical
Association, we have fewer accidents
from Fourth of July fireworks than
we used to have. But people forget
such things very easily-out of sight,
out of mind-and every year this
warning of danger ahead has to be
repeated.
Injuries from explosives of this
sort usually result in a deep seated,
painful and dangerous wound, dan
4 10, oil
that lockjaw may develop from such
accidents. The source of the dan
ger is the germ-laden dirt or gun
wadding that is usually damned deep
in the flesh and that will cause lock-
jaw-tetanus, to use the scientific
name-unless measures are taken
Immediately, to prevent it.
1.-The size of the explosive has
nothing to do with the seriousness of
the injury. Toy pistols, torpedoes,
caps, blank cartridges, fire crackers
big and little-and a whole host of
other explosives known by a great
variety of names-are every one of
them possible sources of extremely
serious injuries The poison that is
thrown off in the system by the
.etanus germs-and that causes the
terrible agony characteristic of lock-
jaws offset by tetanus anti-toxin,
provided it is administered properly
and promptly and in the right
quantity
f'It can readily be understood that
anything of this sort that has to be
injected into the skin-in the same
way that diphtheria anti-toxin is
lsed,-must be administered by a
doctor. 1t is necessary, too, for the
wound to be opened, thoroughly
oleansed and kept open, which also
requires a doctors care. According
ly the person who is injured in this
way should be taken to the nearest
doctor without delay. The tetanus-
antitoXin used for the preventive
treatment of injuries which are like
ly to produce lockjaw-whether
from Fourth of July accidents, or
from other causes-is supplied to
physicians in the counties, free of
charge, by the State Department of
Health, through the County Health
officers. County Health officers will
furnish at reduced price larger
quantities necessary for treatment.
