(Continued from Page One) people have lived in crowded slums, people have worked long hours for pitiful wages, factory con- ditions have not been what they should be and human beings have been exploited for the benefit of others The above wage compari- sons place the blame for these con- ditions exactly where they belong, on Jones and his fellow industrial ists who fight bonafide labor or- ganizatiOn.
 ATTACK ON NEW DEAL
 ''Jones rants on later to the effect that '.we have the sorry spec tacle of reformers, labor leaders, politicians, and government itself trying to do job they are not fitted to do by any standard of value .' , I call that statement an attack on all the progressive legislation won by labor under the New Deal as we'll as on organized labor.
 MACHINISTS MAKE $1.75
 Emmett C. Davison, our general secretary-treasurer, told the New England Conference of Machinists this week that LAM. toolmakers are getting $1.75 an hour and machinists $1.50 in Massachusetts, Maine, and yes, in Connecticut shops. Schick Razor in Stamford is paying our mem bers $l57h and Condo Mast in Green wich up to $1.75. These wages were won by those union leaders Jones called not fitted
 s'Jones gives the whole act away when he says, 'Friendliness, frank ness and fairness pay dividends out of all proportion to the effort. Causes of friction should be sought out and corrected And the causes of friction to Henry Ware Jones are unions. In his plant it's the members of the International As sociation of Machinists who are going to bring union wages and a union contract there."

An estimated need of B. .OOO additional workers in war in- dustries in the Bridgeport area which includes StratfOrd, EastOn, Trumbull and Milford by November \ was taken into consideration this week by the Park City Chamber of Com merce, which recommended the construction of $500 new gOvernment-built homes by that date.
 On its face the recommends tiOn is more in line with the need for increased housing than the 22OO homes called for by the Bridgeport Manufacturers Associ- ation on March 5. However, new War Production Board limitations on private building have elimi- mated 16OO homes to be built by private capital.
 LANDLORDS SQUEEZING
 Industrial workers in war in- dustries in this defense area are being squeezed by landlords to such an extent that Leon Tender son of the Office of Price Adminis- tration, has designated the area as a Defense Rental Area which will soon have a Federal adminis- trator on rents. Not much sympa- thy for the after war problems of landlords has been found among these workers who estimate the need for housing to be nearer 15,OOO dwellings.

last week and destroyed one
: complete moonshine distillery.
The plant was not in operation
and no one was about when the
officers called. They say thai.
three barrels of mash at the
place would have been ready
for distillation by the following
day. The outfit was located on
Jefferson National Forest land.
There is a revival of interest
hereabout in been culture and
many familys are acquiring bee
stands this spring with the hope
of having honey sufficient fol-
their own use during thu. coming
years. Sourwood, from the bloom
of which bees make the best of
all hcney. grows thick aeong the
ridges here at the foot of the
Cumberlands, making this an
ideal section for bees. Willard
Mullins, himself an ardent bee
man, is in demand to make bee
hives, because EXTRA hives will
soon be needed for the sWarns
that will soon be leaving old
hives.
People here are also much i'll
terested in strawberry culture
this spring and many fair-sizeCl
patches have been put out. With
proper cultivation this is also :.
good section for strawberries.

some time ago. The lure of high

The Sponge
An Item OF importance
In Our Trade

The value of our annual catch CT
sponges harvested off the coast OF
Florida exceeds those of any other
country. although formerly Cuba
provided Il larger poundaSe than
any other production area. TWO rae
tors--the European war and sponge
blight in the West Indian area in
1889 - have temporarily curtalled
production so that the recent sta
tistics do not give true picture OF
the magnitude of the industry.
The world supply of sponges is
derived chiefly from limited areas
in the Mediterranean, along the
northern coast of Africa from Tun-
isa to Egypt, along the Syrian coast
of Asia Minor, i'm the waters around
Greece and the Aegean Islands, and
from the waters encircling the West
Indies and Florida. A few Sponges
are obtained off the coast of Column
bia and from the waters of Aus
tralia, and, formerly, substantial
quantities were taken from the reefs
off the Philippine Islands.
The expectation Of sponges, which
is said to have begun in 1S41, was
one of the oldest industries of the
bahamas previous to 1899 and pro-
vided employment for the greatest
number of people and was the prin-
cipal commodity in point of value
exported.
The disease which occurred in
1899 caused the loss of 30 per cent
of the natural and cultured sponge
and resulted in an almost complete
breakdown of the industry. Hope is
expressed i'm the Bahamas that
natural processes of repopulation
aided by active conservation nea-
sures will eventually restore the in
dustry to its former condition.
About 30 per cent of our domestic
production is landed at Tarpon
Springs, Florida, most of the land
ings at this point being stored in the
Tarpon Springs Sponge Exchange,
ii non-proiit organization established
in 1908.

Bruce please don't turn the water
on the window box The suns too hot.
Mrs. Bradley's voice held a weary note
of irritation. Why must Bruce be so
trying on hot, busy morning like
this?
There was Also a distincly peevish
note in her eight-year-old sons re-
sponse, "Jimminy, Mon! Can't "a guy
do anything?'
Bruce. you've said that twenty
times this morning, l do believe. | wish
you'd try not to say it so much"
Have /, Mom?" The small boy
stared up through the open dining room
window at her. Twenty times! Whew,
that's a lot
He was thoughtful a moment then
exclaimed, We'll, Nom, I've only said
it when you told me not to do things
SO that proves what ii lot of things
I'm not allowed to do around here"
With il shock, Mrs. Bradley realized
that her sons remark was true. He
hadn't repeated his monotonous query
any oftener than she had said, Don't"
If his expression has been tiresome
to her disciplined, adult mind, how
much more so, must hers have been
to him.
Mrs. Bradley felt that she must do
some deep thinking. She couldn't do it
with the clear-eyed gaze of her SON
upon her.
Bruce, will you go on an errand for
me?' she asked. There was no irrita-
ton in her tone, now.
Sure, Nom, sure. Where to? May
| take Tuck along?" His one, too, had
changed-it was eager and had lost all
| fretfulneSs.
You may take Tuck. 1t will be Il
nice little trip for him. l have maga-
zine to send to Mrs. Jensen. It's quite
Il distance to go this warm morning.
II don't mind honest l don't
There's Il lots of shade"
There was mist in Mrs. Bradley s
eyes as she watched him step blithely
, down the street.
The first Please do. instead OF
Don't, that | have said this morning
and look how he responds to it, she
murmured cOntritely
She stopped her work and sat down
in chair. Let me see What are some
of the don't that l have handed out
so freely to that child this morningY 2
she said. There was, Don't make
Tuck growl,' Don't come to the table
| until YOU have cOmbed YOUR hair,
Don't ask for another cent today,
Don't O, l had better get penci
and some paper and go at this in q
buSineSslike way!'
Carefully, Mrs. Bradley listed all the
don't she could remember having
inflicted on Bruce that morning. Oppo
site she listed the positive request.
which she might have made in place o1
the negatives which had so irlied hel
small son. She now realized how easy
it would have been to say, please take
