THREE TYPES OF LABOR UNIONS
In u. S.

The labor empire in the United
States, like Gaul, is divided into
three parts: CD the craft unions,
(2) the industrial unions, and CD
the company unions, points out a
writer in the current North Ameri-
can Review. The number OF work.
ers in each division is roughly III the
neighborhood of two million. The
first two types of unionism, points
out the article, constitute what is
known as organized labor, and both
are opposed to company unions.
Despite the vigorous opposition of
organized labor against company
unions, careful study will show,
says the article, that "the workers
under them have received as great
benefits as workers under craft and
industrial unions. To an impartial
observer they seem to have as much
right to exist as the older forms of
unionism." Examples Of successful
company unions, or works councils,
are cited, showing how they have
brought industrial peace in many
fields. 1.-THE dominant idea behind
the works council plan is that a
plant is an industrial community, in
which the interests of all are COM
mon," continues the article. Labor
and management air their problem
in conference, and a spirit of mutual
understanding developers. There is
no interference from outside inter
ests."

the COW because of this intensification

much research work to strengthen
those factors that will bring the rest

accomplish this, we eliminate the

We start at this point because dur
ing the dry period, just prior to re-
production, we can develop and
build into her vital elements that
create a complete background on
par with her inbred ability to pro-
duce milk. We develop a reason for
natural calving. We develop reason
for her to do things In logical way.
We withdraw the strain that causes
retention of placenta or afterbirth,
congested or feverish udders, de-
layed delivery, and slowness in re-
covery.
"When the requirements of the
COW herself are taken into account
and she calves in an easy, natural
way, then we have the possibility of
cashing in on the cows total ability
to produce milk in volume. The re-
verse is true when things are neg

we build up the COW in nutritional

OLD AGE PENSIONS IN MARY
LAND

Figures released by the Board of
State Aid and Charities indicated
that Marylands total need for old
age pensions funds will be about
$35O,0O0 per year.
Less than half the 21,OOO april
cations for pensions have been inves-
tigated, but the cost of 1O,557 pen
sions allowed was $168,000 in Aug
ust. The counties are paying sos
pensions and have 1922 applications
which have not been investigated
Baltimore city is paying 1852 and
has 6,025 to investigate.
The report, released by Samuel E.
Shannahan, chairman of the board,
showed that county pensions ranged
from $40 per month in Kent county
to $500 in Garrett. The average
pension in the counties was S13.5o,
while in Baltimore the average was
$2O.33.
Allegany's pension list promised to
be the highest in the State. 1t is
already paying 719 pensions-more
than any other county-and has 256

The original COW of generations ago,

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

First officially declared national
event by President Wilson, and then
by succeeding Presidents, Fire Pre-
vention Week will this year be OBJ
served October 4th to 10th.
During the week, as W. E. Malta
lieu, Gen. Mgr of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters points out, bus
inesses and individuals will have a
splendid opportunity to really a.
chieve something in the matter OF
fire prevention. Fire marshals and
departments, insurance companies,
and other public and private groups,
will work to the utmost to make the
Week a success. But it cannot be a
success without public cooperation.
Simple programs have been out
lined for observing the Week. For
example, it is suggested that owners
and executives make thorough-going
inspections of their plants in order
to find and eliminate fire hazards.
The aid of workmen should be en-
listed, and the necessity for fire pre-
vention and the wisdom Of practices
that reduce the chance of fire, such
as mo smoking" during factory
hours, should be impressed on them.
In the matter of home fire preven-
ton, every person can easily do
worthwhile work. Go over your
house from cellar to roof. Has the
heating plant, which will soon be
called on to operate at high capacity,
been expertly inspected and, if nee
essary, repaired? Is electric wiring
in Al condition? Are infiammable
liquids properly stored? Does house
hold equipment using electricity, gas
or gasoline bear the approval label
OF the Underwriters Laboratory?
Have you permitted rubbish, old
clothes, old magazines, ETC., to &C
cumnlate in closets and out Of the

3O-MILE EYES in 5O-MILE AUTO
MOBILES

Highway deaths in the past decade
have doubled in the United States.
There is no corner of this country to
which the hand of death and de-
struction does not reach to seize its
victims.
During the past year an average of
enc person was killed and 80 per-
sons were injured every month in
every county of this land. An aver
age of one out of every 80 families
in the United States feels the cripple
ment and death involved in the an
nual toll of highway accidents.
If mechanical speed and human
recklessness continue their course
undated, in few decades the hor-
rors of war will have paled into in
significance as compared with the
human slaughter on our highways.
Then the thousands of mothers
whose sons and daughters fall on the
lines CT asphalt and concrete that
stretch to all reaches of the United
States can be decorated, not with
gold stars, but with stream-lined
pins, the symbol of death in an lad

of the states have drastic laws to pre-

only a few states which require half

comments the institute, "but they

Persons with 3O-mile all hour eyes

kept in good mechanical condition.
Why not then, the eyes of drivers?"

BICYCLIsTs BREAKING TRAFFIC
REGULATIONS

Demand for enforcement of the
traffic laws against bicycle riders is
made by the Keystone Automobile
Club of Maryland, which, on the
basis of reports, complaints and OBJ
servations, declares that cyclists are
creating more hazards and breaking
more traffic regulations than motor
lists.
use of bicycles in this section is
increasing rapidly" said Garrison P.
Knox Manager of the Club. I'VE
have no quarrel with the bike; it
serves definite transportation pur-
pose and its use is not confined TO
children, as in many other places.
But we do object, in the name of all
law-abiding motorists, to the man
ner in which many bicycles are OPP
Grated in our cities and towns.
1.-THE riders apparently feel they
are pedestrians on wheels, and
therefore, exercise to the full all the
prerogatives assumed by the average
careless pedestrian, such as ignoring
traffic lights and crossing streets at
any point that strikes their fancy.
When needless cyclist is struck by
a motor vehicle, the tendency is to
blame the motorist, but from our OBJ
servation in recent weeks the motor
list who avoids the wiggling cyclist
can lay claim to experiences in driv-
ing.
boys, girls and adults seem to
share the same cycling faults. They
ride as many as four or five abreast
on crowded streets, and only rarely
continue in fairly straight line.
Any motorist who drove as the aver
age cyclist rides would instantly be
locked up as zig-zag driver. Anoth-
er serious fault is the absence of
lights on the cycles at night. AL
though the law requires lights, both
for the protection of the cyclist, the
motorist and pedestrian, many bikes
are operated without any illumina-
ton. 1.-THE situation has reached a
serious point, and we hope police will
take action designed to convince cy-
clists traffic lights and other regula-
lions must be obeyed."

MARYLAND FARM VALUE AMI
INCOME FROM 1885 FARM
PRODUCTION

College Park, Md, September 81,
1936.-Maryland gross income from
farm production in 1885 was esti
mated by the Crop Reporting Board,
o. S. Department of Agriculture at
$74,929,OOO which is 16 per cent
larger than that of 1894, according
to the Maryland Crop Reporting Ser
vice. This includes Government
payments of $1,37S,O00 applying to
1885 production programs. Gross
income relates to the value OF quanti-
ties actually sold off the farms plus
the value of products consumed in
the farm HOUSEHOLD on the farms
where the commodities were pro-
duced.
Cash income plus benefit payments
in 1885 amounted to $62,820, 900.
This also was Is per cent larger than
that of the previous year. Cash in
come relates to the value OF quaint
ties actually sold off the farms where
produced. The difference between
cash and gross income which is $12,-
100, 900, represents the value of
farm products retained for consump-
tion on farms for 1895.
The total farm value of crop pro-
duction in 1885 was estimated at
$52,233,OO0. This was per cent
.arger than that of 1884. The 1895
total farm value of livestock produc-
zion which includes milk, was $780,
III, 900. This was 10 per cent
larger than the previous year. Farm
value relates to the evaluation of
total production irrespective of use,
whether sold, consumed by the farm
family or used in the production OF
further farm products on the farm
where grown. Because Of the dupli-
cation in the form of crops used as
iced for livestock, the total farm
value of crops is not added to the

Gross income from crops including
Government payments amounted to
4S per cent of the total. Income
from livestock and livestock products
made up the remainder or So per
cnt Gross income from milk which
was the largest for any single item,
amounted to $18,501, 900 or rs per
cent of the total of all farm products.

900. Truck crops which amounted
60 1000, were in third place
with 10 per cent. Wheat with a
total gross income of $6,54O,O00 in
Guiding $944,0OO in Government
payments, was fourth and made up 8
per cent of the total. Tobacco rank
ed fifth with z per cent. Gross in
come from tobacco was $5,O39,OO0
and this included $4,000 in Gov
eminent payments. Fruits and ber-
ries ranked sixth, cattle seventh
hogs eighth, corn ninth, and potatoes
tenth. Corn led all other crops in
farm alue amounting to 20 per cent
of the total. The low gross income
is accounted for by the fact that only
small portion of the production is
sold off the farm. OF the 1895 corn
crop of 17,544,OOO bushels, 14,394,-
900 bushels or so per cent of the
total was kept on the farm for feed
for livestock, seed, home consump-
ton, and other uses. Hay, like corn,
ranks high in farm value but low in
cash income for the reason that only
a small part of the crop is sold. 1t
is estimated that S3 per cent of tho
1885 crop was kept on the farm for
feed for livestock.
