FARMERS SII.OO PER ACRE
Will Average Over This Amount in
Soil Conservation Payments

Soil Conservation Payments
Soil Conserving or Glass I pay
ments to be made to Delaware
farmers who divert a portion of
their acreage of the general soil
depicting crops to soil-conserving
crops under the 1886 Agricultural
Conservation Program will aver
age S11.73 per acre for the three
counties, according to word re-
ceived from Washington by r. o.
Stelzer, Extension Economist at
the University of Delaware, who is
in charge of the educational phases
of the program in the state. The
Glass 1 payments, however, will
vary in the three counties as fol-
lows: New Castle County, $3.50
per acre; Kent County, S11.00 per
acre; Sussex County, 5000 per
acre The soil-conserving pay
ments to be made throughout the
entire United States will average
$4,000 per acre or lower than the
payments to be made in any of
the three Delaware counties. The
county average rate of these pay
ments is based on the productivity
of crop land in the county as indi-
Gated by the average yields of
principal soil-depleting crops in re-
lation to the United States average
yields of the same crops. The rate
of payment on individual farms
within the counties will vary some
what from the county average ac-
cording to the way the productiv-
ity of the crop land on the farm
varies from the county average
productivity. THAT is" Stelzer
said, 'iif the land on the farm is
more productive than the average
in the county, as measured by the
yields of the general soil-depleting
crops, the rate of payment for di-
version from the general soil-de-
pleting base for that farm will be
higher than the county average
rate. Likewise, if the average
productivity for the farm is lower
than the county average, the rate
will be lower than the county aver
age"

REGATTA ON LAKE COMO
The mill pond, or, as lovers who
delight in euphonious phrases call
it, Lake Como" is quite an object
of interest now with our young
people, as on its placid bosom is
harbored our regatta, and on even
ings when it is known they are 60
ing to set sail or dip the oar(most
every EVENING" there are quite a
number of spectators to witness
the aquatic exercises. There are
now on the pond about a dozen
boats, three of these sail, the re-
mainder thus far row-boats. The
largest of the first-named, Mary
Ann, is owned by William Walker,
who, we suppose from his skill and
in sailing might be de-
signated the Commodore of the
fleet. The Mary Ann is really an
extra fine craft for this fresh wat
er lake, especially as she has seen
service in the briny waters of the
Delaware and was never better
pleased than when making an ex-
cursion to the Jersey shore. She
IS 21 feet in length, and under
spanking breeze will doubtless
glide through the waters of our
lake with the grace
If a swan. The other two sailboats
are owned by John Goldsborough
and Alex. Wilson. There are some
very pretty boats which are great
y enjoyed by those who like the
safe and healthful exercise of row.

Action of Federation Officials Regarding Committee For
Industrial Organization Approved By Milwaukee
Convention.

President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, and
President John P. Frey, of the A. F..
of L. metal trades department.
Green Stresses Majority Rule
american labor is invincible when
united" Mr.. Green said. 1T can only
be conquered when it is divided. What
are we to think of those who seek to
introduce discord and hatred within
the ranks of organized labor. He
who seeks to divide and conquer can
not be regarded as devoted member
Of organized labor"
He stressed the fact that the G. |. O..
leaders deliberately undertook to ap-
ply policy defeated by large ma
iority of the delegates at the last
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. He said that the ques-
tion Of industrial versus craft unions
was not an issue in the controversy,
which in reality hinged on the ques-
ton of the preservation of democratic
procedure and majority rule in the
A. +. Of L.
After referring to the refusal of
the G. |. o. group to abide by the
decision of the majority at the At
lantic City convention Mr. Green con-
tinued:
1T was presumed that those who
presented the issue to the final court
would abide by the decision.

FEDERAL JUDGE BELL
REFUSES
Injunction Against st. Paul
Petroleum Union

st. Paul, Minn--The familiar ap-
peals for an injunction" by which
some employers have in the past been
able to handicap the progress of or
ganized labor, fell flat here recently
when Federal District Judge Robert
C. Bell, of Duluth, rescinded a tenn
porary Eek parte" restraining order
which had previously been granted to
I. /. Coryell & Son, st. Paul filing
station operators, against union pick
let's, members of the Petroleum Work
ers' Union. A permanent injunction
petitioned for was refused by the
court
1t is significant that the court, in
refusing the injunction, stated that
sufficient facts are admitted, or are
evident, to show that labor dispute
as defined by the Norris-La Guardia
act is involved in this case" and that
the court is therefore without iuris-
diction. The court upheld the conten-
tiOl1 VI eilS uIliOHS5 stating lIdI Iut
evidence showed no effort on the part
Of the Coryell firm to arbitrate the
dispute.
Petroleum Workers, Locals 1921
and 1902, began picketing on June
q and continued until August IA,
when the ex parte restraining order
was issued. The right Of the unions
to continue picketing was established
by the court order.
Following a request for higher
wages and shorter hours, two Coryell
employees were discharged, thus start
ing the trouble originally. The men
are reported as having received $3.50
a month for a 72-hour work week and
were required to pay their own COM
pensation insurance premiums, uni
forms, cleaning and shrinkage losses.
Past history of the labor injunction
shows that they have been sought
chiefly by firms that pay that sort of
wages and attempt to exact similar
inhuman conditions from their EN-
ployes.

There was no hesitation by the dele
gates to the convention of the Inter
national Association of Machinists,
held in Milwaukee, in supporting the
executive council of the American
Federation Of Labor which decided at
its August meeting that the unions be-
longing to the committee for indus
trial organization must sever their
connection with that dual body if they
desired to retain their affiliation with
the A. T. Of L.
Asserting that the issues confront
ing the American Federation of Labor
threaten grave dissention within its
ranks the resolution declared that
"the executive council Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor have made
every reasonable advance to remove
the causes Of this dissention, as ably
exemplitied in the printed record Of
the proceedings of the charges filed
by the metal trades department
against the committee for industrial
organization.
The rest Of the resolution put the
convention "on record as endorsing
the action Of the executive council of

Importance of Agreement

This agreement is Of outstanding
Importance at this time as the Inter
national Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers are affiliated with
the committee for industrial organ
ization and John Il. Lewis had joined
with them in the effort to have the
American Federation of Labor give
the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers
jurisdiction over all craftsmen al

ganized in Montana several years be-
fore the Western Federation of Min
ers, which later changed its name to
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, came
into existence.
The attitude of the members of the
local unions towards the agreement
was emphatically indicated by the
vote Of thirty local unions approving
the final proposition to two opposed.

of copper reaches liz cents per
pound an additional 25 cents per day
will be paid, and 25 cents in addition

"Massa" Coward, In the old, fertile
language Of the theater. knows his
onions. His first play, Hands Across

along the lines Of nothing, and vastly

logical thunderbolt with more depth
