Why It Is Tin Can, Island

Niuafoo is a small island Of the
Tonga group, but detached from the
rest of the archipelago and lying
near the center of the ocean triangle
formed by Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji
in IS degrees south latitude, and ITS
degrees west longitude. The island
is well known to stamp collectors
by the name, ''Tin Can" island, be-

Sway Inside Split

WHAT really killed the rail
W legislation was a three.way
inside split between Jesse Jones,
the ICC and the White House.
The jockeying between the man
agement and labor might not
have been fatal If the Govern
ment could have made up its
three-cornered mind about any
thing.
FDR in conversations has
blamed poor business manage
ment by rail executives.
Nearly everyone thinks the
executives were somewhat less
than bright in announcing q
wage reduction drive before they
got their aid from Congress. No
medals are being pinned on the
brotherhoodS either for blocking
the $3O0,00O,0OO of RFC loans
by insisting on stri C t. onS
against Wage-cutS.
Congressman have seen evil
denceS here again that the White
House hand was played by your
old Iowa cousin, Tommy the
Cork Corcoran. He exerted
some influence over Jesse Jones.
No one expects a strike, al
though one will be continuously
threatened until fall.
The final outcome foreSeen
by most of Mr.. RS economic
trend-men is that the Govern
ment will wind up with the rail
roads, even though Mr.. r. does
not want them.
THE Congressman are going
L home better satisfied with
themselves than in years.
Main inside business of the
session was to get set for the
elections. The Democrats never
did it better. They took care Of
everyone-the needy and buSi-
ness with Spend-lend, business
with the tax bill, labor with
wage-heurs, the farmers with the
new agricultural program. No
one is completely satisfied, but
if there are any group voters
who have not been helped some
way, it was because Congress
had not heard of them.

molly in a loyal. topper, a hunt

with which to pose on the Capt.

ammunition. For the missing

stood offstage dropping flash
light bulbs every time Tom aimed
Skyward and clicked the trigger.
Congress did it about the same
way. Flashes Of important leg
islation were dropped all around
the place, but nothing was
definitely bagged. No policy was
firmly fixed - not spending,

President Discusses
High Cost OF Carrots

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) .-Presi-
dent Roosevelt took out time at a re-
cent press conference to discuss the
price of carrots at Washington mar
kets.
A woman correspondent asked
Roosevelt why carrots cost 2 cents
apiece at grocery stores when they
were left to rot in the fields on nearby
farms.
The President replied that this
anomaly appeared to be part of our
civilization.
He recalled that when he sat in the
New York Legislature he traced the
progress Of crate of celery from a
Norfolk, Va, farmer to the New York
market. The farmer got 18 cents, he
said, hardly enough to cover cost Of
the crate. After passing through the
hands of six intermediate merchants,
the crate sold for 1925 in New York.
He asked the correspondent if she
believed this was necessary but drew
no response.

WOmen's Wages Far
Below Mems In Seamless
Hosiery Industry

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) After
survey covering 10000 workers,
about half the total number employed
in the seamless hosiery industry, the
Women's Bureau of the u S. Depart
ment of Labor reports that more than
two-thirds are women, and that wom-
ems wages in this industry are very
much lower than those of men.
In New Hampshire, the difference
between mems and women's wages in
this industry averages II cents an
hour. In Pennsylvania, it is II cents.
In a group of four other states, it is
21 cents-which would come to nearly
$500 year with steady work.
More than 20 per cent of the women
in this industry get between SIS and
$40 a week; 40 per cent from $40 to
SIS week; 20 per cent get SIS but
less than 500 per week.

Continued Expansion
Of Consumer Co-0ps
Is Held Inevitable

Atlantic City (ILNS) Wilford L.
White, marketing research chief Of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, predicted here that further
expansion of consumer co-operatives
was inevitable.
He told the forty-fourth annual con-
vention of the National Wholesale
Hardware Association that the extent
of the movements growth depended
largely on action taken by business
men.
He suggested that business men
study consumer needs more carefully
develop plan of consumer education
analyze their products more thor
oughly and pay more attention to eco
nomic conditions.
