PINEAPPLES AND

Hcrtford, Oct. g. The question
of whether tropical fruit can be

have now grown into a plant bear
ing a well developed bunch OF ba-

together with two more that have

The WalSh-HGaley Law pro-

der 16 and girls under 18 on gov
ernment contracts. Textile opera
tors, it was said. protested that
under NRA the age Init for boys
and girls was fixed at 16 and they
would like to continue this level.
The primary object of the Act,
Madame Perkins asserted, is the
elimination of the sweat shop and
the boards first inquiry will be
made of working hours and wages
in the clothing manufacturing in
duStry where she said, THE pro-
blem of low wages arises the most
frequently" In this category she
classified some manufacturers of

The 40-hour week is mandatory
under the Act. The minimum
wage is fixed at the prevailing

is to be determined by the Secre-

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 6.-(U.R)
Federal agents announced to-
night they had broken up a vice
ring more elaborate than that of
Charles Lucy Luciano in New
York City in statewide raids,
which brought the arrest of 10
men and 13 women in the past six
weeks.
Five of the alleged principals in
the ring, which was said to have
brought in $2.500.OOO annually
pleaded guilty before U. S. Dis
trict Judge Carroll c. Hincks. One
of the five was Joseph Ferrara. 81,
of Jersey City, N. j.. who admitted
that he had supplied 1000 girls
during the past year to Brothers
in Connecticut. New York, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land and Massachusetts,.
The other four were Alexander
de Nicola of Waterbury, alleged
leader of the ring, Ethel Bekris of
Waterbury, Margaret Collins Of
West Haven. Mrs. Valley Hickey
of Worcester and Steve WoiSlaw
of Mansfield.
Agents of the federal bureau of
investigation said the ring was
the largest in the United States.
The defendants were sent back
to county jailS throughout the
state to await trials beginning Oct.
10. Women. ranging from II to 48
years old, were taken from 25
houses in Connecticut and are
held as material witnesses. Prin-
cipalS are held under bonds rang
ing from $4,000 to $25. 900.
Federal agents said the, trials
were expected to be more reveal
ing and more sensational than the
New York hearings which sent Lu-
Ciano and some Of his lieutenantS
to prison.
Judge HinCks said that the five
who had pleaded guilty would be
sentenced after the trials are con-
Cluded.

started this week, under the sup

used in making the necessary fill
Early settlers maintained road
thru this swamp, that was a good
enough for an OK cart, but with
improved transportation the old
road, formerly an Indian trail, was
abandoned and grew up in reeds

road will reduce the distance be-
tween South Mills and Moyock to
about II miles. A resident Of South

Washington, Oct. 6. -U.H-
President Roosevelt said at his
press conference today that the
government should be armed with
emergency powers to prevent q
destruction of domestic values
through unexpected action by an
other nation.
This remark, made during q
discussion OF the international
monetary situation, was interpret
ed as a hint that he may ask con-
gress to extend his power to de-
value the dollar still further when
it expires Jan. 80.
A moment earlier, however, he
said in answer to direct question
as to whether he would ask an
extension, that a reply at present
would be premature.
Under authority granted by
congress, Mr.. Roosevelt has de-
valued the dollar until It's gold
content amounted to only 5906
per cent of what it was formerly
He still has power to reduce the
dollar to so per cent of its former
value.

Strict Federal regulation of hours,
wages and working conditions in
manufacturing plants doing more
than $3.50, 100000 worth of busi-
ness annually with the Govern
ment drew nearer tonight when
Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins named a temporary board
to administer the WalSh-Healey
Act.
The board, which will function
in a quasi judicial capacity, is
headed by Frank Healy, former
MIRA official and now in the office
of the Labor Solicitor. Hugh L.
Kerwin, director of conciliation OF
the Labor Department, and Tel
fair Knight, counsel for the Tex
tie Labor Relations Division, will
serve with Healy.
In announcing the appoint
ments, Secretary Perkins explain
ed that. the 18th Congress which
enacted the measure failed to
make appropriations to defray the
cost of it's administration. The
trio, she said, would serve in a
temporary capacity and chiefly as
advisors. Because Of the nature
of the work involved and the in
ability of the Secretary OF Labor
to concentrate full time and at

planned the boards recommended

Pasquotank Democrats Plan
To Hold Countrywide Rally
At Weeksville High School
Friday, October 10, Is Ten.
tative Date; Fish Fry Is
Also On Program

1t is planned to have PaSquo-
tank county Democratic rally at
WeekSville high school either dur
ing the week of October IL OF Oc-
tober 10, and the tentative date
set for the rally Is the afternoon of
Friday. october 16.
The idea of having this rally at
WeekSville originated with w. l..
Thompson and other Democrats
in Salem township. In connection
with the rally it is planned to have
a big fish fry. AS to whether or
not the rally will be held and as
to whether or not it will take the
form suggested, largely depends
upon the success which the county
executive committee meets with in
raising a portion of the funds nee
cssary for such a celebration. In
addition to the contributions to be
made by the Salem Democrats,
both in money, time, and other
wise, it is anticipated that it will
be necessary to raise $3.50.
The local committee seeking to
raise this amount is composed of
w. C. Dawson, chairman, and w.
w. Deans and J. H. Hall. The
committee will not have time or
opportunity to make any particu-
lar canvass for these funds, and
they are now requesting that the
loyal Democrats in the county
who will contribute to this cause,

quires a special three dimension

produce compared with 2.5 cents
