Negro History Week

Negro History Week annually includes the birthdays
raham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.
Kentucky born Lincoln rose from log cabin to the
White House; Douglass up from slavery to give
wise counsel to leaders of America and Europe. We
observe Lncos birthday each Feb. H. since the exact
date of his birth is unknown Feb IA is generally accepted
for honoring Douglas.
Both statesmen loved freedom both fought for it
and remained with the common people. AS editor
orator and fighter, Douglass rallied the North and Eng
land to the Aboltonist cause AS Civil War President
Lincoln saved the Union and removed the chains of
ny.
Neither compromised with reaction Lincoln died
fighting the Copperheads and Tories Douglass died fight
ing the white suprenacists Both dreamed of unity and
democracy.
Today the fight goes Other champions have risen
and died. The Copperheads the Tories the White Supre
macists are still with But there have been gains and
there be complete victory reaction and freedom
for all when organized labor minority groups and prog
ressves lay aside their grievances and rally behind
dynamic program of action for the benefit of all Amer
leans.

Power and men
To the Editor:

In a trip through the west last
summer, we visited Coulee Dam.
l called at the publicity building
and asked how many men 1t
would take to produce the equlva-
lent of the energy produced by
Coulee Dam, They were not pre-
pared to answer the question.
A few days ago saw the ques-
ton answered in q local paper:
that The annual output has
reached 20. GOO, 100000 kilOwatt
hours which is equal to the Ia
Dor of 79.OO0,00O men working
s hours a day every day in the
year, and they are going to In
stall more engines that will
greatly increase those figures.
AT the present time the Govern
ment statistics show that only
9Gs of the water power in the
United States has been devel-
oped.
OUR SCIENTISTS also tell us
that along with our water power
there are other systems of pro-
duction which, If developed,
would make it possible, on a
basis of 16 hours a week, to give
every person of working age an
income equal in buying power
to $4,000 a year today.
In taking this to working
men they often say that would
mean that only about one out
of five would have q job or
that people would become SO
lazy that they would be mostly
criminals.
They can't realize that it is the
economic whip-lash of the capt.
talistic system that makes crimi-
nails, while under a cooperative
system of efficiency, in which
every person could' do his share
according to the trend of his in.
dividual mind. the cause of crime
would be removed.

Unity for free men
To the Editor:

10 the E0lCOrs
Pop Dearborn's splendid, timely
column on labor unity points up
an urgent need if we would re-
main free men. There must also
be the greatest unity of all pro-
gressives in every walk of life.
The path is clear; let every voice
be heard NOW.
Let me congratulate the edi-

Just a few words concerning
the Chicago transit companies

zero weather.
Thanks to the 'tuus res" of
these trusts, CNicaoO'S 'i'e7S in
addition to the lock OUTS ave

motormen, of whom 1 have ASKED
the reason for these 8 wheel ref.
rigerators, have informed mo of
the use of thermo stats which
automatically shut off the heat
when a certain 6low) temperature
has been reached.
The big boys cannot, this
time, blame the coal shortage
on the miners!
Why don't these "big-pants"
boys who are always so anxious
about the "public's interests" -
especially during strikes, in which
they are usually the direct cause,
now worry about the publlc's
safety from draftv. so year old

Action on traction

The eght-cent streetcar fare is again in danger.
Seven months ago, when fare increase was first
threatened the STAR warned its readers that unless
determined unified, ong-ter campaign organized
by Chicago labor and civic groups the increase likely
to go through.
riders have been paying temporary 12cent fare for
the best part of year. Unless the Illinois Commerce
Commission rules against Temporary fare boost i'll
the immediate future, and against permanent boost
before the April 20 deadne nine or ten cent sreetcar
fare will be accomplished fact
The fight against this proposed further milking of
the people of Chicago by the owners of its outmoded
transit system is not the kind that lost in few
short weeks 1t requires persistent organized work
We call upon the CLIO, the ALL and all other
labor and community organizations to set up Citizens
Traction Committee on permanent basis to fight what
would amount to general wage cut for the people of
Chicago. Such groupwas formed last year. but limited
its activities individual testimony rather than organ
izing mass protests.
Until such a group is organized to work out and
fight for constructive solution Chicagos public trans
portaon problem individuals can still flood Governor
Green's Illinois Commerce Commission with letters tell
ing the ice what they think of the proposed fare boosts
The Commissions address is 100 N. LaSalle st. Its
members are John D. Biggs, chairman; Frank Peska;
William Parilo; Edwin A. Rosenstone; and Vail Wash
ington.

Who is Lowi+z?
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Just finished reading Carl
Hirsch's column Political Pot" in
your January 4th issue with
much disgust.
In his first paragraph he
condemns the Republicans for
rejecting Leo LOwitz, making
LOwitz sound like q desirable
man who is being thrown out
of his party because he Is a
Jew. Perhaps he is being
thrown out because he is Jew
which can under no circun1.
stances be cOndoned-but max
ing him sound like q desirable
man is too much for me.
Shortly before the recent cleo
tons, was one of the recipients
of letter signed by five Repub-
licans, all Jews, one of them was
Leo LowitZ. This letter called on
all Jews to vote Republican if
they wanted the Jewish question
settled and the door of Palestine
thrown open. 1t went on to say
that the Republicans have good
record of working for the Jews
and these same Republicans
would be the saviers of the jew
ish people.
DISGUISED WITH such
cheap, political, trick I picked
one of the names, it happened to
be Lowitz's and telephoned to let
him know of the disapproval of
great many Jews toward his
kind of an approach. L. Lowitz
talked loud and long about his
dear Republicans, and when I
asked if he approved of McCor-
mick and Hoover and what they
were doing in the party, he negat-
ed the whole thing.
Said he, Everybody knows
that neither Mccormick nor
Hoover have anything at all TO
do with the Republican Party"

YOUR FARM
AGENT SAYS
By
CHARLES D. RAPER
County Agent

Mr.. Percy Williams of Claren-
don. route l, who lives near Sam
Buffers Station reported blue
mold on his tobacco beds March

mold since blue mold rarely strikes
before the dogwood trees begin
o bloom. however, with the short

:ariouS sizes are just coming up
% The size of so cents. 1t is adj
sable for all farmers to get
;heir material and equipment
ready to start treating. for this di-
ease on tobacco plants.
There are two materials for
controlling blue mold in Column
bus county: Fermate can be used
either aS Il spray or us dust and
The other method being Para Ba-
ca. In using Fermate as a spray
YOU will need about 3 pounds of
FerNate per 100 square yards OF
plant bed for the season and will
need L good type of Sprayer, either
a bucket, barrel or wheel barrel
type that will develop about $50
pounds of pressure.
Use pound of Fermate to %
gallons Of water of ) level table
>poonSful per gallon. This Fer
mate should be mixed with 4 little
water thoroughly before putting
the Fermate in the Sprayer for
spraying. A fresh batch of spray
should be mixed for each applica-
ton. For the first 4 applications
use to , 1-2 gallons of spray
per 100 yards. The 5th and 9Th
application. 1 gallons per 100
square yards; and from then on
until the end of the season 5 to
6 gallons per 100 yards.
If blue mold should appear on
the bed don't give up. but con-
tinue to spray regularly twice a
week. using 5 to 6 gallons re-
gardleSS of the size of the plants.
In using the dust treatment
YOU will need about 25 pounds of
prepared Fermate dust per 100
square yards for the season, and
4 good hand powered crank type
buster. The dust should be APP
piled early in the morning when
the air is quiet and the plants
are moist with dew. For busting
use | - pounds of dust per 100
square yards for the 5th and 9th
application, and 3 to l2 pounds
for busting all other applications
until the plants are set.
The Para Baca treatment nee
e$SitateS the use of heavy can
vas made out of a good grade of
Ii Sheeting. If blue mold is on
the bed use pounds of Para Ba-
ca every night for 3 nights, COW
ering the bed with the heavy can
vas until the srystalS have devel-
oped the next day. Then treat
every other night with l-2 to
> pounds for the remainder of the
season. If this treatment is start
ed before blue mold appears you
can treat with l 1-2 to 2 pounds
of Para Baca every other night
and keep blue mold off the bed.
