RUN OVER BY OWN TRACTOR
II. Frank Pinder of Near Sassafras,
Md, Found Crushed to Death

T. Frank Pinder, so years old,
well known farmer of the Shall
cross Wharf section on the Sassa-
fras River, near Chestertown, Md,
was run over and instantly killed
Wednesday morning of last week
by new tractor he was operating.
AS no one witnessed the accident
it is not known whether he fell
from the machine or whether he
started it up accidentally while
cranking it. His 14-year-old son,
Philip, wondering why he did not
come up to the house for dinner,
found the machine had stalled
when it bowled over the farmer
and had almost buried itself in the
ground before the engine had stop
ped. The youth rushing to the
house, told his mother and after
teIephoning for help, the mans
mangled body, with much difficult
ty, was removed.

C. OF C. OPPOSES
WAGE-HOUR ACT
Wilmington Business Group
See 1t AS Indirect u. S.
Control Over Enterprise
APPEAL TO CONGRESS

Indirect federal control over
hours and wages for private enter
prise is opposed by the Whining
ton Chamber of Commerce. Ger
IRISH Gassaway, manager of the
chamber, said the managing COM
mittee of the manufacturers sec
ton and the board of directors
have gone on record as opposing
the Walsh bill now before Con-
gress fixing minimum hours and
wages. The bill, Mr.. Gassaway
said, provides for a drastic form of
federal regulation over hours and
wages for a large segment of pri-
vate business. 1t has been report
ed favorably by the Senate com
mittee on education and labor.
The position of the chamber on
measures Of this sort is" Mr.. Glass;
away said, that an end should be
put to all proposals for establish
ing direct or indirect federal con-
troll over hours and wages for pri-
Vate enterprises" Mr.. Gassaway
appealed to all members to immed-
lately write to u. S. Senators John
=. Townsend, Jr., and James H.
hughes Of Delaware expressing
their views on the legislation. The
Dill greatly extends the scope of
the Walsh-Healy act, Mr.. CASA
way explained. ut would apply a
second penalty for violation of an
order of the Labor Relations Board
and would give the secretary of
labor discretion to fix minimum
wages for persons employed on
government contracts or sub-con-
tracts, at such rates as the secre-
tary considers fair and reasonable.
