DEADL|NE JUNE z
ON SOIL PROGRAM
Work Sheets May Be Quail
fled for 1897 as Late as
That Date

College Station, Raleigh, May 90
The deadline for North Carolina far
mers to sign work sheets for the 1897
soil conservation program has been
set at June II.
No payments can be offered this
wear to farmers who do not sign work
sheets on or before that date, said E.
Y. Floyd of State College, head field
officer for the program in this State.
However, he pointed out, growers
who signed last year will not be, re-
quired to sign again this year. But if
thew have bought land or made other
changes in their farms, they should
notify their county agents at once.
The work sheet is not a contract,
Floyd explained, and a grower who
signs one is not placed under any OBJ
legation to comply with the program
if he changes his mind after signing.
But the work sheets are necessary
for the county committee to help the
farmers plan their farming operations
so as to take advantage of the pay
ments offered and at the same time
build up their SOIL
Unless the work sheets are signed
right away, Floyd pointed out, they
will ice too late to be CT any value
this year.
The work of checking growers
compliance with the program will be
started in June in some counties, he
continued, and work sheets are nee
essary to determine how much a
grower is complying with the program
and how large a payment he is earn
ing.
County soil conservation offices
have been instructed not to accept
any work sheets after June IL.

At the present time the new coop
erative does not have enough mem
bers to warrant leasing and operating
a filling and service station of its own
Mask said. But it has made a contract
with a service station here whereby
the members of Toggs, Inc, will get a
discount of 20 per cent on all pur-
chases of everything but gasoline and
get discount or profit of 3.75 cents
per gallon on all gasoline purchases
if less than 5000 gallons month and
of four cents a gallon if purchases are
in excess of 5000 gallons a month.
When the membership grows to the
point where members buy as much as
$4,000 gallons of gasoline a month,
with other sales in proportion, it will
then pay the cooperative to lease and
operate its own service station, Mask
indicated. He believes that eventually
this or other similar cooperatives will
have numerous service stations locat-
ed in every part of the State, just as
they are in the western states.
Under the State law governing CO.
operatives, every cooperative organic
ed must retain 10 per cent of the net
earnings of each member to form an
operating fund which will be equal to
80 per cent of the total capital need
ed for operating purposes, in order to
have a reserve on hand to meet ellis
payable and other expenses, Mask
said. In the case of the Toggs coopera-
tive, it has been decided that it will
be necessary to retain the earnings OF
of members until a total of $3.50
member has been set aside for the OPP
Grating fund, in addition to the mem
bership fee of $3.50 per person.
The incorporators of this new gas
oline, oil, tires and accessories coop
erative are all Raleigh people, most
of them state employees and connect
ed either with State College or various
state departments. For the time be-
ing. the cooperative does not intend
to enter any other field, although it
could easily be expanded to include
other commodities it was agreed.

MOTORISTS FORM
NEW COOPERATIVE
Gasoline and Other Sup
plies Bought for Mem
bers by New Group
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel
" Il r.. RASK ERVTTT.


Raleigh, May 20.-ToggS, Inc, the
States first gasoline, oil and motor
supplies cooperative, organized here
some weeks ago, is now actively doing
business and saving its members Is
per cent on gasoline and 20 per cent
on other automobile accessories, such
as tires, tubes, oil, grease and so forth,
it was learned today from Homer H.
b. Mask, one of the principal organic
erS.
Under the plan followed by the new
cooperative, which gets its name, from
the articles it sells-tires, oil, gas,
grease, service, the first letters of
these articles spelling the word
"Toggs'-the members pay the re-
gular retail price for gasoline, tires,
tubes, oil, and so forth, and at the end
of each month get a check from the
cooperative for 20 per cent of the a
mount they have spent for everything
but gasoline, and a Is per cent rebate
on their gasoline purchases. Or men,
bers may take the discount at the
time the purchase is made, provided
their membership fee has been paid,
also the $3.50 stock assessment.
Thus, if a member buys two tires
at $40 each and 100 gallons of gasoline
at % cents a gallon during any month,
at the end Of the month he will re-
ceive a check from the cooperative
for $3.50, representing a profit to
himself of 81 on the tires and of $3.50
on the gasoline, equivalent to a pro
fit" of 20 per cent on the tires and of
Is per cent on the gasoline.
"The only difference in buying tires
gasoline, oil or any other commodity
through a cooperative and buying it
from other concerns, is that in buying
from the cooperative the members get
the profits, while in buying from pri-
.vate stations, the owners of these sta
tions get the profits" Mask said 1--WE
believe the time has come for the peo-
pie in North Carolina to get together
and turn some of the millions of dol
lars they are now spending for gas
oline oil, tires, tubes and other auto
mobile accessories, back into their
own pockets. For the last ten years
or more the people in Minnesota, Wis
consin, Colorado and other western
states have been buying more gasoline
and oil from cooperative service sta
tons than from almost any other
group and have been saving millions
of dollars a year. There is no reason
why the people in North Carolina can
not do the same thing"

CORRECTION IN
RESPECT TO GALEN

Last week the Montana Labor
News carried a special dispatch from
Galen in which some of the inmates
were complaining of the lack of visi-
tors and especially a rule prohibiting
the visit of a committee from the
Miners Union of Butte, whose custom
it was to distribute tobacco, candy,
and other delicacies.
The Miners Union since has estab-
lished communication with DR.. Vidal,
head of the institution and ascer-
tanned through the Doctor that the
rule was fashioned in the interests
of the patients. DR.. Vidal explained
that due to the prevalence of influ-
enza and other ailments that the
presence of visitors presented a very
imminent danger to the tuberculosis
patients. 1t was explained to the
Miners that should the sufferers at
Galen be so unfortunate as to con-
tact any infection or any contagion
from another disease that death
might ensue.

Campaign Against
Unfair Cunee Clothes
Company Progressing
Organized Labor and Friends:

Organized Labor and Friends:
We are pleased to advise that u
campaign against the unfair Curlee
Clothing Company is progressing en-
couragingly. Union Labor every
where is giving loyal support. Hun
dreds of clothing merchants have
assured us of their cooperation and
refuse to handle any Curlee Clothes
until the Curlee Clothing Co. will
have signed an agreement with the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
st. Louis.
For years the Curlee Clothing Co.
has been in close business" relations
with the notorious Ahner Detective
and Strike Breaking Agency of St.
Louis, the same agency which today
is furnishing thugs and gangsters to
the General Motors Corporation in
its desperate war against the Auto
mobile Workers International I'm
ion.
By means of a company union
supervised and directed by said
Ahner Detective Agency the Curlee
Clothing Co. is keeping its employees
under a system Of control and sub
serviency which can only be COM
pared to the convict rules in our
State Penitentiary.
We ask the officers and members
of Central Labor Unions and Local
Unions, and all friends of the move
ment to help us locate the clothing
merchants in their respective cities
or districts and send this informa-
ton to our c. c. c. Committee, 800
North 10Th Street, st. Louis, Missouri.
Also inform your merchants of the
vicious fight the Curlee firm is
making against the Trade Union
movement. The Curlee Clothing Co.
is paying its president the princely
salary of $91, 100000 a year, takes a
leading part in the nationwide fight
against Trade Unionism, at the same
time refusing to grant the workers
to unite into bona fide Trade Unions.

PROMINENT UNI0NI5T
FILES FOR MAY OR
Tim Harrington Throws Hat in
Political Ring.

Tim j. Harrington, 500 West
Quartz Street, a member of the En-
g~ineers Union, filed for mayor today.
Mr.. Harrington was born in Butte
AZ years ago. He is the son of the
late Judge Tim P. Harrington, who
is well remembered by the pioneers
Of Silver Bow County. Mrs. Tim
Harrington's folks are also old timers
in this community. Her maiden name
was Miss Pearl Hanley and she is
the daughter of Mrs. Emma Hanley
and the late John C. Hanley of 251
w. Pacific Street, C~enterville.
The unions are particularly inter
ested in Mr.. Harrington owing to his
long and consistent loyalty to the
trade union movement and all the
noble things which they stand for.
The Butte Engineers Union No. 83
has complimented him by placing
him in every office which the union
had to offer, including that Of presi-
dent for 3 terms. During the exist
ence of the MIRA, Mr.. Harrington
was n of a group of a volunteer
committee of local men who worked
and helped to promote the reorgan-
ization of the Butte Miners to a
successful organization again under
the famous Section IA. He served
as chairman of the general strike
committee in 1884, after which he
was elevated to the position of fl
nancial secretary and business agent
of his union in which capacity he
served two years. AS a delegate to
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council the same energy is exhibited
as in his other activities.
For a number of years he has been
chairman of the Press Committee of
the Montana Labor News and his
judgment is invariably reasonable
and sound in all matters affecting
the unions. At the present time he
is secretary-treasurer of the Mon
tana State Mining Council Unit No.
l at Butte. When the World War
was raging, Mr.. Harrington went
over seas and served with the 605th
Engineers. Mr.. John Harrington,
former county treasurer, is a brother
and also Peter Harrington, a well
known hosting engineer. Included
in MI. Harrington's industrial life
is a long service as hosting engineer
for the Anaconda Company at the
Never Sweat, Mountain Consolidated
and Belmont mines.
He will bring to the office of
mayor if elected the same sincerity
of purpose and conscientious consid-
Grafton of the people and the tax
payers as he has always displayed.

JAMES pEIRIE IS DEAD

1t will be just 40 years ago that
Mr.. Peirie became connected with
the Butte Electrical Railway Com
pany as an operator on the street
cars. Probably no man in Butte was
more widely known nor more uni
versally respected than Mr.. Peirie.
He was a charter member of the
Street Car Mems Union and was II
years of age. He died February 10th
after a short illness. Beyond a doubt
he was one of the best and most
efficient street car men that ever
stood on a platform. If he had any
faults they were ones of loyalty and
conscientious devotion to his work
and to the public. In his union
principles he maintained a high de-
gree of integrity and loyalty.
His passing was noted with sor-
row by the Street Car Mems Union
and by the public, especially on the
No. 3 line, whom he served so long
and faithfully.

CAPITALIST PAPERS
SUPPRESS EVIDENCE
Public Not Informed of Duplici-
ty of Rai!1oad Companies.

A public hearing on H. B. 10 was
held by the Senate Committee on
Railroads and Transportation, Feb
ruary 4th.
According to Associated Press this
hearing lasted well over three hours,
and lengthy articles appeared in the
papers as to what wonderful argu-
ments were presented by the at
torneys for the railroads, but not
one word from the men who so ably
represented the four transportation
brotherhoods.
Why shouldn't the counsel for the
railroads present good arguments,
when they r paid from 900. 90
to $l8,000.00 per year for such work,
and how could the Big 4 expect any
credit when they only have a dime
per month from each member of
their organization to pay their ex-
penses with?
The first attorney for the rail-
roads expressed his opinion that it
would cost the roads of Montana
$1,O45,000.00 per year. Each attor-
ney testifying, raised the ante a little
until Mr.. Weir of the Great North
ern placed the figure at $780, 600, 900
per year. They claimed there had
only been two men injured in the
last year, by long trains, while at
this moment in one of their hospi-
tails are three men suffering from in
juries. They forgot to mention also
the fact that cots are built in the
cabooses and when men are injured
