Governors Ce++inq
(Continued From Puoe One)

of Operative Potters had a conference
with Governor John Bricker of Ohio
asking him to proceed with this mat
ter.
At that conference the whole ques-
tion was placed before the Governor
and Mr.. Flynn later sent him copies
of Supreme Court decisions setting
forth the proper authority for enter
ing into reciprocal agreements.
At the time, Governor Bricker left
no doubt in their minds that he would
proceed at once with preparations for
the case. However, nothing was done.
1t is the present hope that he will
join with Governor Vanderbilt and
perhaps several other Governors to
carry the present case to it's proper
conclusion. This will settle definitely
any question of what agency should
make these trade agreements.

that helped crystalline the experiences
of the early efforts in the housing pro-
gram. "In the resolution passed at
the annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor, held in Atlantic
City in October, 1885, we saw the first
outlines of the present program" Vim
ton said, and "it was my privilege to
work in close collaboration with your
committee at that time and also to
help further at the Tampa convention
in 1886.
"The present program of the USHA,
a program which is completely decen-
tralized, which places the initiative
and responsibility directly in the
hands of local committees, is the pro-
gram which grew out of this early
formulation by your convention, rep
resenting organized labor in Amer
ica," he continued.
LabOr's Concerns Three-folS "
In summing up labor's main con-
Germs, ,Vinton characterized them as
"three-fold" The first concern being
employment at wages and working
conditions that would protect and ex-
tend the gains made through years of
struggle and sacrifice. Secondly, the
increasing of wages and the resultant
raising Of the standard of living; bet
ter homes where one can raise fami-
lies in healthful surroundings, and at
rents one can afford.
Vinton said the third concern of la
Dor is the general well-being Of the
nation as whole. "Without healthy
and prosperous economy, redistribution
of wealth is meaningless, nor, as we
have learned during the last decade,
can wage standards be maintained"
he declared.
Better Homes for Workers
"Public housing serves to increase
the national income and adds constant
ly to the improvement of physical
standards and the total wealth Of the
nation," he continued.
"Low-income workers today cannot
afford to live in decent home. In
the Housing Act, Congress recognized
this and provided subsidy to make
it possible for low-income families to
live in decent homes. In addition to
providing such homes, the Housing
Act requires the elimination of slums."
In conclusion Vinton said:
~ say, and l say it with the deep
est conviction, that the future of pub
lie housing in America depends in
large part on labor. l say this be-
cause housing is so integral a part of
all those principles for which labor
stands"

For First Of Five
Housing Projects
U.S.H.A. Of Atlanta To Erect
$50 Dwelling Units In
&C. Howell Homes"

Washington, D. C.-Construction of
the first Of five projects in the At
lanta, Ca, clearance and low
renting housing program was assured
an early start today when Nathan
Straus, Administrator of the United
States Housing Authority, approved
the award of a contract by the Hous-
ing Authority of the City of Atlanta
for the erection of $50 dwelling units
in the "Clark Howell Homes"
The contract approved today was

The project will be built on slum

of the city, just south of Georgia Tech
University and adjacent to the "Tech-
wood Homes" public housing project,
built by the Public Works Administra-
ton. The immediate boundaries are
Mills, Lovejoy and Luckie Streets and
North Avenue. Stores, schools and
churches are within easy walking dis
tance and adequate transportation is

Under a separate contract work re-
Gently was started on the demolition

Woll Warns Against Totalitarian
Tendencies
Matthew Woll, vice president of the
A. F. of L., in addressing the dele
gates, warned against what he char
acterized as totalitarian tendencies in
this country, citing as examples the
conduct of the National Labor Re-
lations Board in it's efforts to prescribe
to labor the form and manner in which
it should organize.
Mr.. Woll warned that "legislation
designed to benefit labor may ultimate
ly enslave labor to the powers of gov
ernment"
Andrews Hits Dime An Hour Bloc
Wage-Hour Administrator Andrews,
addressing the convention, predicted
that the U S. never will have per-
manent prosperity until everyone
learns that "mass production is inn
possible without mass purchasing
power"
National wage scale increases, he
said, result in "a tremendous total ef-
feet"
at takes lot Of people with money
to spend to keep our industrial ma
chine running full blast" he said. "You
simply cannot have prosperity when
some millions of people can't buy any
thing at all and have to be fed and
clothed by those of us who have jobs,
and when other millions earn so little
that all they can afford is just enough
food to keep body and soul together
and just enough clothing to keep them
out of nudist camp"
Andrews appealed to organized labor
to carry on the fight it waged to enact
the Fair Labor Standards Act and keep
it in force.
81 am not so naive" he said, "as to
believe that our opponents are by any
means through On the contrary, they
have only had their appetites whetted.
Neyt January, the dime-an-hour bloc
may be expected to come to Washing
ton to renew it's demands"
He said he planned to intensity his
drive against violators of the law.

presented to the youngest baby pres
ent and basket of fruit to the oldest
couple present. At 100 P. N. all
amusements were operated free to
those who had Identification tags. The
soft ball game between the Decorating

his tusks about three times and when
the job was accomplished you had to
guess which was the pig, for both had
lots of grease on them. Brother
Thomas Killing, clay hand, took the
eighty pound pig home with him. He
certainly has the knack when it comes
to catching pigs.
At 6:15 ice cream and coffee was
served at the eating pavilion, this was

plenty of lunch packed in their clothes
baskets, hampers and boxes.
At 11:30> the crowd enjoyed the
feats of the "World's Greatest Tight

on the program and everyone, although
a little tired, enjoyed this act.
Some of the members are already
talking about next years picnic and
ways to improve same. We believe
that will be a hard thing to do.

Centreville club at that place on last
Friday night by a score of 90. On
Saturday night, they were defeated
by the Milford Giants on the local
grounds 1913. On Sunday they took
over the Centreville Club on the local
grounds by a score of Al in one of the
best ball games played in the league
this season. On Monday night they
journeyed to Milford and defeated
that club go. On Tuesday night on
the local ground they were defeated
by Cambridge in the first game of
a double header 1876 and the second
game was called at midnight with the
score tied at Go. On Wednesday
night they were defeated at Cam

There will be games in the local

Wednesday night with Centreville; on
Friday night with Easton and on Sun
day at 2:30, Salisbury. All of the

noon.
The owner was very well pleased
with the attendance at the park on
Sunday last and on Tuesday night
The ball club is a great asset to the
community and should be patronized
by all that are able to attend. The
weather at the present time is ideal
for the sport and we are predicting
that a goodly number will be in at
tendance at each of the home games
Pocomoke has one of the best teams
this season that it has had since the
reorganization of the Eastern Shore
League and as soon as these few
weak positions are strengthened, it
is very easy to predict that at the
close of the season, the team will be
in the first division.
The owner of the club wishes to
make the announcement that all seats
will be forty cents from now on, with
the exception of just few, for which
season tickets have been sold. Some
of the seats heretofore had been fifty
five cents. This should welcome news
to many of the baseball fans.
1t is reported that catcher by the
name of Dye, has been secured from
the Boston Red Sox, which will help
to bolster up that division, which was
weakened by the new ruling of the
league.

WOOD TICKS ARRIVING
ON DUE SCHEDULE
Continued from page l


American dog tick, that is specially
active in the early spring and that
attaches itself to cattle, horses and
humans, as well as to dogs. Fortu-
nately not all ticks are infected, but
as they all look alike, it is better to
regard all ticks as possible carriers
of infection and to treat them accord
ingly. Prompt removal of the insects
is of the utmost Importance"
Other specific precautions urged
by DR.. Riley include the following:
1. Look out for ticks on your body
or clothing. Make careful inspec-
ton at least twice day if you are
picnicking, camping, or, are employed
in tick-infested area. Pay particu-
lar attention to children who play
in uncleared land. Children are like
ly to be bitten back Of the ears, or
on the head hidden by the hair, or on
the neck. Don't overlook these or any
other hiding places in your inspec-
lions. Examination of the whole body
is necessary.
2. Be careful in removing any ticks
found on the body, or in taking them
off of dogs or other animals, not to
crush the ticks between the fingers.
If the insect is deeply embedded use
small forceps, or protect the fingers
with a bit of paper or. cotton. Swab
the place from which the tick was
withdrawn with iodine. Dip the fin
gers and the forceps in alcohol, after
wards, and wash the hands thorough
ly with soap and water. A drop of
crude oil or motor oil may be of help
in, withdrawing ticks from dogs or
cattle.
8. If ticks are very abundant near
permanent camps, spray the area and
trails around the settlement with creo
sote oil; cut grass very short around
dwellings, along paths, and near bath
ing pools and shores; cut out and burn
underground.
A brief statement giving informa-
ton and advice as to precautionary
measures to be used by those whose
business or pleasure takes them into
tick-infester areas, has recently been
issued by the U. S. Public Health
Service and is available on request
from the National Institute of Health,
