employer. At an early age, he con-
nected himself with the Eagle Mills,
and the fact that Mr.. Dryden was TAX
ing him to the Convention where a
branch of the milling business was
under discussion, showed that Mr..
Powell was receptive Of that business
education necessary to success, and ne
was preparing, possibly, for advance
ment whenever it should come-he
was ambitious.
Mr.. Powell had not been married
for many years; he was happy in the
association of wife and his 4-year old
boy. He recognized the obligations
due his family and nobly did he live
up to them. He was beloved by all
his kin, and respected by those who
knew him and came into contact with
him. He was a good son, good
brother, and good citizen. His loss
is truly material.
MR.. RAYMOND C. DRYDEN
Raymond Curtis Dryden was the
son of the late w. T. and Lydia Dry
den. He was born in Somerset Coun-
ty on May 3, 1882, and here he spent
large part of his early manhood.
He was educated at the old Rehoboth
school, and also took a course in Bea-
CONS Business College.
Some years ago, he was associated
with Mr.. o. A. johnson in the can
ming and milling business, in the lat
ter of which he was engaged at the
time of his death, being sole owner of
the large establishment known as
Eagle Mills in this city.
Mr.. Dryden died on August 8,
Thursday of last week, one of the four
victims of the tragedy of the high
way, as they were returning from a
trip to Cleveland, Ohio; and from
Binghampton, N. Y.
The deceased is survived by two
children: a son, Raymond C. Dryden,
Jr., and Grace, aged Is. Also by
three brothers and two sisters: George
Dryden, of Baltimore; Harry Dryden,
of Dayton, Ohio; and Benjamin, of
Pocomoke City; Mrs. o. A. Johnson,
and Miss Esther Dryden, of POGO
moke.
Funeral services were held on Sum
day afternoon last, at o'clock in
Pitts Creek Presbyterian Church, Rev.
R. B. Stewart, officiating. Interment
took place in the cemetery Of the
church. The pallbearers were: Clar-
ence Robertson, Ralph Ross, Edward
w. Ham, Jos. C. Stevenson, Charles
X. Howard, James Tilghman, Clifford
Dryden and Basil Payne.
MRS. RAYMOND C. DRYDEN
Mrs. Helen Grace Dryden, wife Of
Raymond G. Dryden, was the daugh-
ter of the late Wesley and Grace
Beauchamp, and was born near West
over, Somerset County, October 16,
1887. She died on Thursday Of last
week, going to her death along with
her husband and two others in a tragic
auto accident, occurring on the DUPONT
Highway in Delaware.
Until her marriage, she spent her
whole life in Somerset. Besides her
two children, Raymond G. Jr., and
Grace, she is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Harriet Strohm, Of Binghamp-
ton, whom Mrs. Dryden had been Wis
iting while Mr.. Dryden went on to
Cleveland, Ohio, to attend a poultry
congress.

industrial Home Work
Comes Under Wage Act

Washington, D. c. (AFLWNS).-
Industrial home workers were blank
eted under the Fair Labor Standards
Act Of 1888 in an order issued by Ad-
ministrator Elmer F. Andrews. 1t
was estimated that the ruling affected
several thousand wage earners VIC
timized by shift of sweatshop labor
to the home.
In the order Mr.. Andrews ruled that
for a siX-month experimental period,
beginning March Is, employers of
home workers must list all workers,
date and hour on which work is given
out and returned, hours worked on
each lot, piece rates promised, wages
paid and social security tax de-
ductions.
Whether payment is on a piece-work
or hourly basis, the rules state, each
worker must be paid at rate of not
less than 25 cents an hour, with time
and half for hours over III in one
week.
Andrews, in d statement, said:
The regulations represent the best
judgment Of some of those who par
in conferences on the sub
ject. They felt that the regulations
will at least test the practicability Of
this kind Of control and perhaps
answer the question whether we can
enforce the fair labor standards act
as it now stands with respect to work
Of this nature"
Regulations cover "any person pro-
ducing III or about the home, for an
employer, goods from materials fur
nished directly by or indirectly for
such employer" Principal industries
affected are mems neckwear, leather
goods, gloves, knitted wear, bed
spreads and embroidery.

War Department
Bans CIothinq
of Eisner Firm
Wdlsh-HeoleY Public Con-
tract Act Violated
BY Company

Washington, D. Civilian B. Gro
gan, examiner of the Public Contracts
Division Of the Department of Labor
ruled that the Sigmund Elsner Com
pany of Red Bank, N. j., supplier OF
army uniforms and clothing, had fal-
sified time cards of employees in order
to cover up violations of the Walsh
Healey Public Contracts Act. He rec
commended that because of this alleged
fraud the concern should not receive
any government contracts for three
years.
The firm, it was ruled, was also in
debted to the government for liqui-
dated damages in the sum of $31 ,95S.-
O4. The dansyany has twenty days in
which to file an exception and to ap-
peal to the Secretary of Labor to set
aside the decision.
Time Cards Were Fraudulent
In his decision, Mr.. Grogan said that
the firm had permitted employees to
work more than eight hours a day or
forty hours week without payment
of overtime rates and had failed to
pay the minimum wages of 37l2 cents
and 40 cents an hour required under
the law.
According to the decision the COM
pany admitted that the time cards
did not show hours actually worked"
The company has plants at Red Bank,
South Amboy, Freehold and Union
Beach, n. j.
at is shown that the employees at
each of the plants were under instruc-
tions from the party in charge at the
plant to punch their time cards in such
a way that the wages earned on a
piece-rate basis divided by the hours
Of labor punched on the card would
show an earning of at least 27l2 cents
per hour, regardless of the number
of hours actually worked" the ex-
aminer stated. at is also shown that
the employees followed these in
structions. These facts are admitted
by the respondent"
Through j. Lester Eisner, general
manager, the company said it did not
know the records were being falsifed,
and he placed the blame for this on the
plant supervisors. The examiner said
that Mr.. Eisner admitted, however,
that he had read in The Red Bank
Examiner, of June a, 1887, an article
criticizing his firm for failing to pay
minimum wages.
"Mr. Elsner has stated that on read
ing the editorial he took no action to
determine the truth Of the charges
made" said Mr.. Grogan. "He explain
ed his inaction by saying that he con-
sidered the editorial the act Of a dis
gruntled editor actuated by malice.
The charges are specific and serious.
1t is inconceivable that general man
ager who had not previously taken the
to acquaint himself in
with employment conditions.
in his plants would, after reading such
editorial, have failed to make an inn
mediate and thorough investigation Of
the truth Of the charges made. Fail
ure to do SO can be attributed only to
a knowledge Of the truth and the facts
recited in The Examiners editorial,
or "to an utter Indifference to the OBJ
legations Of the respondent under the
act"

DO You Have u Sweet Tooth?
The youngster who lets his sweet
tooth get the better Of him should be
warned that all candy and little else
doesn't make a healthy diet.
Whether or not candy is good for
you depends ordinarily on what else
you cat.
Statistical tables show that candy
contains more calories pound for
pound than most foods. But candy,
is'filling'; gorging on it discourages
you from eating other foods.
Carbohydrates in candy its chief
food value-are only one Of the Gle
ments needed for healthy diet. The
child who over-eats on candy either
will have to over-eat on other foods
to balance his diet-an unhealthy
habit in any case-or else he won't
get other necessary food clements and
Will suffer nutrltlonally and physical
ly as a result.

But in moderation sugar in candy
is a good energy-producing food. 1t
