THE PERKY" BUSINESS i

THE PERKY" BUSINESS is
just about concluded to the salts
faction of all concerned, viz. State
Road Department, Monroe Coun-
ty and r. c. Perky. After Perky
had agreed to turn over the
right-ofway for the viaductS and
roadways of the extension from
Big Pine Key to Key West on the
Overseas Highway there was a
long hitch" of about two months
in which plans came to a definite
halt. State Road & Department
wanted a fee simple deed to the
right-o-way giving it entire right
over the land in question. Mr..
Perky wanted several provisions
inserted with control over some
of the properties vested in him.
This column understands that the
matter is finally settled and the
fee simple deed will shortly be
given the State Road Department
The Department would have be-
gun work long ago if there were
not a cloud over the title. AS it
is they have moved down a great
deal of equipment to build the
extension.

THE HAVANA AMERICAN 5

TRUST" FACTORY located
above the operating Key West
Havana factory on county road al
present has opened its windows
and there are signs of activity all
about. Immediately there were
rumorS that another cigar factory
was coming here. As a matter of
fact, the work consists of rein
forcing the concrete throughout
the building. The only near-def-
mite information this column has
concerning the possibility that
another factory will come here is
that of the Gradiaz-Annis COM
pany, which is reported consider
ing moving here if the Key West
Havana company is success.
Yet, a responsible source informs
this column that it is quite un-
likely. Whenever there are cigar
laborer troubles in Tampa, there
the rumors concerning transfer to
Key West spring up.

VoLuE 3 NlBR II
A little parliamentary Law is like little
learning-worse than at all. And in general
clubs and associations by little par
iarnertary Law. In our deliberations get tied
up by poorly thought out mott ons and resolutions
and cluasily handled amendments, and poor interpre
tations Of Roberts Rules. AS a result it takes
magician to discover what really voting for,
if and when do vote. Parliamentary law becomes
in general dsrepute. We become annoyed with each
other and ourselves and stay away from meetings
which could be ade of great to US.
The fact is that parliamentary Law should make
discus sion easier rather than d fficult. It is
meant to make the issues clear cut and easily re-
solved; ard to protect the interests of the minority
veil as those Of the majority. meeting that is
run in good Uder is joy, instead of bring strain
on everyone's nerves. 1t gives everyone fair
hearing, insures the rule Of ii MAORI ty while pro-
tecting the fundamental rights IF all.
It is particularly important that the presiding
officer be well acquainted with parliamentary Law.
His posi- ton is 81 milar to that Of baseball
pire. It is essential that the knows the rules.
And it is essential that he remembers he is
pire. He should renal neutral in all discussions
as long as he remains in the chair; to that the
rules are followed; that all sides get equal
hearing. AS he tales sides he should cease
to preside until the issue being considered is set
tied Specie from him decidedly out Of order.
On the other hand he should not be a stickler for
technicaliH es Many formal titles be done vi tn
out if there objections (but the offic must
be sire there are no objections). And great deal
Of confusion be avoided if the chair makes sure
the notion says actually what the it to
say before it is put to the floor.
Meetings would be much bus iness1ike too if
important mott ons made only after they had been
carefully drawn up in writing and approved by the
seconder.
The democratic thrashing out Of community problems
is an art--one Of the most vital of arts to US who
determined that this country shall avoid the
European mess-and it is Of the arts to the de-
veloment of which Greenbelt is part dedica
ted.

TO ENLARGE CANNERY
AT FREDERICK

The Frederica Packing Co.. is
breaking ground for a new tomato
pecling room for their cannery. the
new building is to be approximately
one hundred and twenty-five feet
long by thirty-five feet wide, con-
struction will be of cinder block and
reinforced concrete. with ample win
dow space to give day light conditions
for the convenience of the employees,
enabling them to give the tomatoes
] perfect inspection.
In keeping with the policy of The
/ Fredcrica Packing Co.. the new build
ing will be equipped with the latest
model canning machinery. there will
also be cloak room. rest rooms and
restaurant.
There will be employed in this
building one hundred and fifty wO-
! men preparing the ram tomatoes. the
/ new building will be an addition to
( the property purchased from the
| Neil Canning Company in 1886. Be-
! ing in the center of district which
is ideal for the growth of tomatoes
of fine quality. Frederick was at one
time the largest shipping point on the
Delmarva Peninsula, thousands of
baskets being shipped annually by
boat to the large soup canneries of
New Jersey and Maryland. of late
years this market has become very
uncertain. leaving the farmers with
out any dependable outlet for their
tomatoes.
The addition OF the new peeling
room will enable The Frederick Pack
ing Co.. to handle from ten to fifteen
thousand baskets of tomatoes day
and will furnish a much needed out
let for tomatoes grown i'm this sec
tiOn.
The Hall Cannery in Frederick. an
other land mark is the oldest cannery

Burton G. IIargadine in 1924 by the
Frederica Packing Co.. and is equip
ped to pack tomato juice. tomato
PURGE, peas. string beans. lima beans.
and pumpkin.
During the canning season as
many as three hundred people are
employed in harvesting packing and
lllG oaN
packed in large or number ten size
cans for hotels, restaurants and hos
pitfalls. There are also packed, the
small or family size cans.
The vegetables being grown close
to the cannery are harvested. prepar-
ed and canned in the shortest posi-
BILE time. not only does the company
demand the highest quality ram ma
terial, but that the preparation be
by men of experience and
rechecked by specialists in food pre-
| aratiOn.
The finished product is then graded
by the U. S. Department of Agricul- !
turc. the maintenance of uniform

compliance with the 1889 conserva-

RED LIGHTS FLASH AGAIN

During 1888. the National Board of
Fire Underwriters reports that to-
tai direct fire loss in this country
reached the gigantic sum of S302,-
O5O,OOO.
The smallest monthly loss, $19,-
473,617, occurred in June. and the
highest. $32.75S.O44. in December.
The total marked substantial in
crease over 1897. when the loss was
S253.859. 900, and was the greatest
Tor any year since 1882.
Thus it appears that fire waste.
which tended slightly downward for
five years. is again ON an upward
curve. And that is something in
which every person in this country
IL directly Interested. For fire does
more than burn prOperty-it de-
stroys jobs and opportunities, in
cresses our taxes. stalemates COM
munity progress. and is a Oppressive
factor in every phase If our eco

perts, at least eighty per cent of all
fires could be prevented-and easily
prevented-simply through the eXer-
else of caution buttTessed With a
little knowledge of hazards and how
they may he eliminated.
It's too late now to do anything
about last years gigantic fire waste.
But we have eleven months ahead in
which to do something about this
years. No organization or group of
organizations can do much towari
controlling fire Without the cooper
alton of the public. Fire is an indi-
vidual problem, and it's up to each
of us to help fight it as individuals

THE LABOR RELATIONS ACT

II is refreshing to see that certain
progressive labor groups, including
some affiliates of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. are urging reason
able modification and revision of
the National Labor Relations ACT.
I'arsighted labor leaders are the
first to recognize that the cause of
honest uniOnism is harmed, not SER
we'd, by extremist Legislation which
is prcdicated on the principle that
labor must be favored at every turn,
and the employer always penalized.
The Labor Relations Act, at least as
construed by the Labor Board. puts
almost no restrictions on the activ-
tiles of labOr-and hogties the en-
ployer to the extent that ne has al
most no rights at all when contro-
versies arise.
Dispassionate and fair revision of
the Act is absolutely essential to the
maintenance Of peaceful Industrial
relations-and to the welfare of le-
gitimate unionism.

SOCIALISM IN NEBRASKA

Private utility ownership in Ne
braska is steadily receding before
the rising tide of public ownership
Apparently it will only be a ques-
tion of time before Nebraskas elec-
trio industry, heretofore owned and
operated as a private enterprise and
developed by individual savings and
ingenuity. is turned over lock, stock
and barrel to public agencies oper-
ated by politicians who haven't a
thin dime of their own money in
vested in the undertakings. Regard
less of rosy pictures painted by pro-
fessional politicians. the electric in
dustry of Nebraska would then he a
menace not only to that state hut
TO the entire nation because II rep
resents something that, in princi-
pie. is diametrically opposed to the
traditional American system of en-
couraging individual enterprise.
When the states takes over an in
dustry, socialism becomes a fact. 81
cialism and capitalism cannot live
permanently side by side. One will
eventually displace the other. In the
meantime. there is constant strife.
The politicians seek to extend the
grip of government on industry, and
industry (private enterprise) fights
back.
The man in the street may think
it makes no difference to him who
operates industry. II hc can get

government ownership. why not do
it? He forgets the tragic fact that

AGRICULTURE GROUP
ON CONSERVATION
tcontinusd from First Pass,

The Objectives of the agricultural
conservation program were explain
ed by w. G. Finn, director Of the
East Central Division of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration,
who also outlined the plans for
conducting the educational phase of
this farm program throughout this
section of the United States. In or
der that all farmers in each county
may have the opportunity to become
better acquainted with the purposes
of this conservation program, the
county committee in cooperation
with members of the district COM
mittees will arrange community ed
ucational meetings at which the de-
tails of this program will be ex-
planned.
In all probability these education
al meetings will be supplemented by
a series of small group meetings in
addition to contracting individual
farmers, and in this manner 1t is
planned to place this information
before every farmer in the county.
Approximately 2,1O0 farms in Kent
county were included in the 1888 ag-
ricultural conservation program,
and it is expected that larger num-
ber will participate in the program
this coming year, as numerous in
quiries are being received at the
county extension Office in regard to
this farm program.
Members of the county committee
and field supervisors in Kent county
are making every effort to complete
the compliance work in connection
with the 1888 program in order to
clear the way for starting the 1899
program within the next few weeks.
