Farmer Gets Culprit Who
Stole His Tobacco Plants

ing the other farmer out the tobacco
plants and his $40.
Another story being told here was
that a Pitt county farmer heard some
one in his plantbed late one night,
fired his gun at the spot where he be-
lieved the culprit to be, the charge
striking the theft and forcing him to
undergo treatment, although not cri-
tically wounding him.
Other cases of tobacco plant steal
ing are going the rounds in this sec
ten, blamed on the shortage of the
plants this year.

They carried out the dirt in old boxes

The failure Of the fuse-a matter
remedied by two brave volunteers who
crawled in and relighted it-delayed
the explosion for an hour and IA min

fragments Of Elliott's brigade and men

crate lines about the crater until

for research. Desire to help mankind
and plain curiosity are stronger than
greed almost everywhere in this line
of work; and in medical research, as
the experience Of DR.. Banting shows,
the money motive fades out altogether.
Medical discoveries should be free.
So far as the doctors are concerned,
they usually are free. Jenner made no

never dreamed of profit in the trap

This is one field where the profit mo-

AGE LIMIT POLICY MUST
BE FOUGHT

Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins in her Labor Day address pre-
sented a much needed plea for the
aging worker in industry. The age
limit in employment has been ex-
tended until now it is "a menace and
a terror to thousands of family bread
winners when they reach the age of
45 or so"
IF this age limit policy continues
to develop" she said, "the economic
problems Of many workers will start
at As, instead of at 65 or TO-
The secretary gives figures. In
3,781 establishments studied in Mas
sachusetts, 230 factories had no male
workers As or over; 137 had less than
10 per cent Of such workers, and 434
had 10 per cent but less than 90 In
the radio industry, only 7 per cent are
over 45; in insurance companies, %
per cent. Chain stores give only half
as much work to older men as regular
retail stores; in banks, 40 per cent
Of the workers are above 45; and in
the manufacture of silverware, 54 per
cent of men employed were above that
age.
Age limits come chiefly from two
curses of modern industry; the speed
up in manual occupations and the
go-getter demands made Of statesmen,
as in the insurance business.
Labor has recently begun to correct
this evil. In the settlement of a
painters strike in New York, the
terms expressly required the bosses
to employ a certain proportion Of older
men. But government and industry
may cooperate before the problem
can be solved

RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
Held Vital as Right to Vote

New York City (ILNS)-John 3.
Andrews, secretary for the American
Association for Labor Legislation,
made stirring defense of labor's
right to organize in Labor Sunday
address in the Cathedral of st. John
the Divine.
ssIt is no less essential that wage
earners enjoy the freedom to organ
ize and be represented by those of
their own choosing than it is IN a
political democracy that the people
have the right to vote" said Or
Andrews.
1--WE have established as national
policy not only the right but the en-
couragement of the workers to or
ganize for collective bargaining in
industry.
Unfortunately, this public policy,
proclaimed in congress by the rep
resentatives of the people and upheld
by the supreme court of the United
| States, is still resisted by a few prom
inent industrialists.'

POSTAL WORKERS CERTAIN TO
CONTINUE PROGRESS

Postmaster General Farley praised
the organizations Of postal employees
and predicted steady improvement in
the working conditions Of postal en-
ployes, in addressing the twentieth
convention Of the National Federation
Of Post Office Clerks here.
The postmaster general declared
that the relations between the postal
workers unions and post office de-
partment officials were cordial and
mutually helpful He declared that
such relationships would continue as
long as his present corps Of subordi-
mates, or any he would appoint in the
future, held office.
With respect to the 4o-hour week,
he explained that he was, because Of
the fact that the service must live
within it's income, compelled to with
hold approval until increased revenues
justified him in the recommendation
which he had never regretted. He
stated that this shortening Of work
ing hours had been justified by IN
creased business and largely absorb
ed efficiency
Calling attention to the working
conditions now enjoyed by postal en-
ployes with respect TO steady employ
ment, vacations, sick leave, retire
ment, etc, he said: "As time goes on
and to the extent that you merit them,
even greater benefits are bound to
come"
He said that undoubtedly the or
ganizations Of postal employees had,
in the past, been largely influential in
bringing these about.

And-going back for a minute to
what the British workers said about
the Spanish war
Did you ever think how closely Mus
solini and Hitler resemble American
industrial magnates like Tom Grid
Ter?
Same Jehovah complex know it
all and whatever | want is right.
Same total Indifference to the rights
of anyone else.
Same deadly hatred of labor unions.
Same greed for money and power.
President Roosevelt has spoken Of
economic royalists. What about eco
nomic fascists?
Read this quoted passage carefully:
"The lesson OF these times is the
vulgarity of wealth. We know that
wealth will vote for the same thing
which the worst and the meanest of
the people will vote for. Wealth will
vote for rum, will vote for tyranny,
will vote against the uniyersalist~ bal
lot, will vote against schools, col
leges, or any high direction of pub
lie money"
Sound radical? You're right.
