TIP RULING.
New Federal Law Put
Into Effect Last
Of October

st. Louis (ANP)-Forty-eight OF
the Union Stations 1O5 red caps
were dismissed last week because
their employer, the Terminal Rail-
road association. feared an adverse
ruling under the wage-hour act on
whether tips may be cons idered as
a part OF wages, and this would re-
qulre back payment OF salaries.
Just before the new federal law
went into effect October "a, the
Terminal discharged AZ red caps in
The expectation that the ac. would
Tx the mems wages at % cents an
hour. They were rehired, however,
after an agreement whereby their
tips. previously their only compen-
sation. were TO he supplemented il
they fell below the s1l week mini
mum wage.
j. A. Mathewson. general manag-
or OF the Terminal. said the second
dismissal followed because there
was no assurance that the courts
might not ventually hold that tips
are no wages and order payment OF
IAN awful lot OF back pay"
The reduction. he continued, re-
duces the staff OF red caps 10 the
lowest possible number. The men
who remained are working under
the wage arrangement OF last week.
The red caps union charges that
the dismissals last week vera dis
criminatory against it's members.
The agreement under which the dis
charged men returned TO work was
that each should make daily re-
port of tips received. The Interstate
Commerce commission has ruled
that the red caps are employees OF
the Terminal and railroad attor-
neys have advised the association
to he guided by the wage-hour law
in dealing with them.

BRIEF REVIEW
OF THE SCOPE OF
WATER FARMING

Previous articles have touched upon
the early stages of development of
oyster farming. Leaving the discus
sion of modern method of oyster cul-
tivation for later article, l should
like to acquaint my readers with
brief review of the scope of water
farming. In it's development we are
considerably behind other countries.
In the Orient the growing of fish for
market is an ancient industry. In the
Philippine Islands, the growing of
pondfishes fill an important need, es-
pecially during the typhoon season
when no seafish are available. Some
years ago during the typhoon season
l saw the fish stalls in the markets
of the City of Manila piled high day
after day with bright silvery fish
the milkfish-which had been reared
in pond close by. These ponds were
then valued at more than $10,000,000
and the annual catch at $3,0O0,000.
In the Hawaiian Islands are to be
found the celebrated mullet ponds,
some of which were built more than
300 years ago and were yielding an
annual harvest of about 100000
pounds of fish. According to tradi-
tion, the natives engaged in the con-
truction of one of these ponds formed
a line from the shore to the mountain
and passed the lava rock from hand
to hand until it reached the site of
the pond without once touching the
ground.
In southeastern China there are in
Vulnerable thousands of fish ponds
chiefly devoted to the growing OF
carp. In this region carp culture is
the complement of silkworm culture,
the land being used alternately for
fish ponds and mulberry plantations.
After serving as fish pond for some

SENTIMENT FOR
NAVAL DEFENCE
IS MOUNTING

With sentiment mounting through
out the country for two-ocean naval
defense elaborate preparations are go
ing forward in Maryland for the cele-
bration of Navy Day, October 27. In
his recent proclamation the Governor
urged that through appropriate ex-
ercies by civic bodies and other or
ganizations the attention of the peo-
pie be called to the imperishable SER
vices rendered by tht American
Navy"
According to w. R. Moody, member
of the Maryland Navy Day Commit
tee, the occasion will take on added
significance this year because of un-
settled conditions in Europe and the
Far East. "The United States," said
Rear Admiral C. H. Woodward, Com
mandant of the Third Naval District,
recently, wants no more war. Never
theless this country with its enormous
wealth and vast resources would be a
glittering prize to any strong and
covetous nation looking for land and
riches unless we be properly prepar-
ed. Every President of the United
States, from Washington to our pres
ent Chief Executive, has recommended
in striking language the building up
and maintenance of strong and eff
ficient Navy as the surest guaranty
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-10-21

and safeguard of peace" 1t is estl-
mated that in order to carry a sub
stantial portion of our commerce in
the foreign trade we need replace
ment of at least SO ships annually ov-
er the next 10 years in addition to the
Navy defense program.
Theodore Roosevelt, whose birthday
is honored by the celebration of Navy
Day, is authority for the statement
that at is not possible to improvise
a Navy after war breaks out. Ships
must be built and men trained long in
advance and it was forethought and
preparation that secured us the over
whelming victory of 1898. Without
preparation disaster may befall us in
stead of triumph"
Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief
of Naval Operations, has announced
that when the present building pro-
gram is completed the country will
have, for the first time, homogen-
eous fleet, we'll balanced and equipped
with modern weapons and machinery.
Backed by the courage of officers and
men the Navy will be prepared to live
up to the examples set by John Paul
Jones, Lawrence and other heroes of
the illustrious past.
Meanwhile schools and civic COM
.m,1nities throughout the State are
preparing to celebrate Navy Day. In
Baltimore harbor a modern warship
will be open to visitors while the Nav

No matter how many medicines you

Serious trouble may be brewing and you
cannot afford to take chance with any
remedy less potent than Creomulsion,
which goes right to the seat of the trou-
BILE and aids nature to Soothe and heal

Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomulsion.

COMPANY B. GETS
PENNANT FOR
ITS ATTENDANCE

The pennant signifiying the best
attendance at armory drill during the
past quarter flutters proudly over the
armory of Company "B" at Hagers-
town.
This line company made an average
of 99.19 per cent for the month of
July, August and September, to win
the coveted pennant. Company "B",
First Regiment also led the attend
ance record during the past month,
with an average of 98.75 of the en-
listed personnel turning out each drill
night.
The Third Battalion of the First
Regiment, with companies in Centre
vile, Crisfield, Salisbury and Annap-
oils, blazed the way in attendance for
the other two battalions, with 1920
per cent; the 1st Battalion was Sec
ond with 91.43 per cent and the End
Battalion in third place with 1924
per cent.
Eleven companies of the First Regi-
ment made an average attendance of
80 per cent or better during the month
of September. They were: Company
"B", Hagerstown; The Service Com
pany, Silver Springs; Headquarters
Co., 1st Battalion, Easton; Company
"K", Centreville; Medical Department
Detachment, Chestertown; Company
"L", Crisfield; Headquarters Co. 3rd
Battalion, Pocomoke City; Company
"C", Cambridge; The Band Section,
Frederick; Company "I'', Salisbury,
and the Headquarters Company of
the End Battalion, stationed at Laur-
el.
The attendance percentage of the
First Regiment as unit for the
month of September was 1920.

Strong National Guard basketball
teams were turned out last season by
Company "I", stationed in Salisbury,

During the past few seasons these
teams have piled up an impressive list
of victories among the independent
and club teams making up the loosely
organized Eastern Shore loop.

years, the pond is filled and planted
with mulberry trees and a new pond
built.
Agriculture has reached an unusual
ly high state of perfection in Japan.
Over 100000 acres of water are under
cultivation yielding an annual har-
vest valued at $12,000,000. This in
cludes over 100000 pounds of carp,
100000 pounds of oysters and other
shellfish and 100000 pounds of gold
fish. In Java people owning fish
ponds are the wealthiest and most pro-
gresive of their neighborhood and
their ponds bring the highest real es-
tate prices of their region.
Just how productive are water areas
in comparison with uplands ?An acre
of land should produce about l4O
pounds of beef and 300 pounds of pork
At a midwest fisheries station, the
production of blue-gill sunfish was
equivalent to 272 pounds per acre and
that of goldfish $50 pounds. The pro-
duction of carp in cultivated ponds is
about $50 pounds and according to
DR.. G. C. Embody of Cornell Uni
versity, our richest trout streams
should produce 300 pounds Of trout
per acre and our poorest streams
about rs pounds. Over period OF
Is years clan Gamers on the coast OF
Washington took an average OF 534
pound of clam meats per acre per
year.
The oyster in particular lends itself
to cultivation. Unlike most edible
marine animals, it is unable to move
of it's own volition from the beds
where it has been planted. It can
withstand rough handling, lends itself
readily for transplanting from one
area to another, even for export to
foreign countries. For example, mar
ket shell oysters are shipped to Great
Britain for planting in English waters
where they are taken up and market
ed during the summer and fall when
the native oysters cannot be marketed.
Not only that, but as an illustration of
American efficiency, this stock as
landed sells for only about 1c apiece
or 1-1O the price of their native oy-
sters. The next time you hear some
one complaining about the prices of
our native stock, you might remind
them of this. In fact, at current prices
in this country oysters are very eco
nomical food as we'll as very health
full one.
Oysters occur on about 100000
acres of underwater bottoms along
our coasts. Of these only about 2OO,-
900 acres are under private cultiva-
tion. When one considers that the
20 per cent of oyster grounds under
cultivation produce about 60 per cent
of our annual crop, it should be evil
dent as the demand for oysters in
creases, the bringing of more acres
under cultivation will make possible
a much larger crop. Furthermore,
there are more than 100000 acres
available for trial as to their suita-
bility for the growing of oysters
Therefore, oyster lovers need not wor-
ry about our oyster farmers supply
ing the markets of this country for
