Workmen's Compensation Low

While we are not supporting any candidate for
Governor there certain panks in candidates
platforms that approve and heartily endorse.
In our estimation Billy Sniders outstanding contr-
button to this campaign his endorsement fight for
workmen's compensation law.
In the final analysis the voters of Mississippi, we
believe, interested in jobs than politics
The who is elected Governor will be looked to for
leadership in creating these jobs for the masses of
unemployed people.
The enactment of workmen's compensation law
by the state legislature is vitality necessary if Mississippi
is to realize any important industrial development
The industrial development under Governor Hugh
Whites Balance Agriculture With Industry program
has only begun. scratch the surface what
other southern states have and are getting.
We have long way to go yet.
We should elect legislators who favor this legisla-
ton. Mississippi is the only state in the Union not
having it.

in abandoning the road
He says: "Citizens the Durant-Aberdeen. branch

painful fact that abandonment of the road will
them the loss of lot of tax money which has hitherto
been paid regularly into local treasury.
"They ought to have been thinking about that when
they transferring their freight and passenger bust
to truck and bus lines"
Well Major, you have your facts little mixed to
say the least.
The people of Durant and this neck of the woods
haven't abandoned the railroads and transferred their
business to the truck lines They've stuck by the rail-
raid with very little encouragement from the railroad
itself.
II is true that the bus lines have encroached grea.
deal on the passenger business of this railroad but there
is no one but the railroad itself to blame for that.
When the bus companies started Operating the rail-
roads didn't try to meet the competition in any way
They sat still and kept their rates right where they'd
been for years instead of dckerng for the business of
John Public.
Then when finally they decided to cut rates and
try to meet little competition that way their equip
ment outmoded and out of date that cared
whether they not.
In addition they had cut off so many trains on
many different lines that they couldn't give any kind
of service at all.
There's still plenty of passenger business for the
Illinois Central its Aberdeen branch if they would
put clean, comfortable for people to ride il and
trains enough for people to go anywhere and get
back the same day.
In this day and time people have to fight for the
business they get competition being what it is. The
transportation companies are no exception
But the &c any other company can't expect PEG
pie to ride in dirty sooty, sitting railroad long
they get other way of going And that's the
equipment the people of this section have had for yeas
Notwithstanding the fact that the Aberdeen branch las
for been of the most profitable pieces
of property owned by the &c
1t strikes the railroad should give kind of
adequate passenger service justify the very excellent
freight and express business they getting and
will continue to get until they decide give up the ghost
and quit
There has been great deal of talk in this section
lately about the stock supposedly owned in bus lines
bymembers of the &c official families their wives.
Perhaps the railroad has very good reason, other
than lodging taxes, for not wanting give passenger
service
Perhaps the passenger dollar is all the long
as it is in the family
1t looks like they have public be-damned attitude
to say the least.

Bombings on England

by the Associated Press.
STIRLING. Scotland, June g.
Terence McSherry, an Irishman,
was convicted today of stealing ex-
plosives to make bombs and was
sentenced to prison for 10 years.
McSherry, one of four men con-
victed on the theft charges, had told
the jury that the British govern
ment was responsible for the recent
wave OF bombings in England and
Scotland because of its refusal to
withdraw British troops from North
ern Ireland.
The others-Francis McNeece
Samuel Kennedy and Matthew Som
ervllle-were sentenced to terms of
from 10 months to years.
McSherry told the jury he was
entitled to give you an explanation
as to what has taken place in Scot
land and England"
I'm January of this year, the army
council of the Irish Republican Army
dllegal anti-British organization
sent the British foreign secretary a
note demanding withdrawal of all
British troops from Northern Ire
land.
All representations failed. The
British government did not take
action and series of explosions took
place throughout England.
Il hold the British government
responsible for those explosions that
have taken place and will continue
to take place until the demands set
out in the ultimatum are granted"
he said.

Ciano Will Visit Spain
To Tighten Axis Bond
BY Radio to The Star,

BY Radio to The Star
ROME, June 9.-Foreign Minister
Count Ciano will go to Spain about
June 81, it is learned on good au-
thority today, in an axis effort to
match the Anglo French encircle-
ment plans.
Ostensibly he will repay the visit
here of Ramon Serrano Suner,
Generalissimo Francisco Frances
brother-in-law and minister of the
interior, who has had audiences
with Premier Benito Mussolini and
the Pope.
The Italians are confident that If
Germany and Italy seem able to
wage a short and smashing war
against the encirclers, Gen. Frances
Spain will be one of their most
valuable allies.
The axis sees, however, for rea-
sons of prestige a large and more
closely co-ordinated diplomatic bloc.
and the advantages of having Spain
ana Japan IN their group are
obvious.
With the visit of the Italian for
elgn minister to Spain, Fascist
quarters here are increasingly con-
f1dent that Europe will have a Pc
Rod OF quiet, with no crises,
through the summer. They speak
OF even longer periods without
crises.
That period will be exploited. of
course, in their efforts to match en-
clrclement with a powerful Fascist
bloc which then can work on Po-
land, Rumania, Turkey or Greece
in an attempt to detach one or more
OF these Anglo-French allies.
