than, Massachusetts, was a pas
senger.
In towing out of Jacksonville
harbor on March 14th she struck
heavily on the bar and sprang a
leak, and the crew from that time
on were kept at the pumps cor
stantly. To make matters worse,
she encountered bad weather soon
after leaving port, which continued
all the way up the coast and even
tually resulted in her destruction.
At the time she stranded, about
1880 in the night, the wind was
blowing a strong southwest gale,
a heavy sea was running, and the
nigh was dark and hazy.

escapes, in getting forward and
p, out on the lib boom, where the
line had fallen. When all were
together on the boom, the men be-
gan hauling the shot line out from
the shore to get the whip. This
was a difficult and tedious opera
| ton as the strong current bowed
the line so far to the leeward, and
there was so much wreckage in the
surf, that only a few feet could
be gathered in at a time. They
finally got the tail block, and as
soon as it could be made fast to
the boom, the whip was used for
hauling out the hawser. In short
time the apparatus was ready for
+! the work of rescue. The breeches-
buoy made two trips all right,
landing man at each trip, when
operations were brought to tenn
porary standstill by the lines foul
ing a large piece of wreckage in
the surf.
Due to the difficult conditions,
the live-savers had much trouble
in getting the whip clear; and ex-
cept for the aid of their sturdy
neighbors of Hatteras village, who
had focked to the scene as the
news spread, and who helped the
station crews draw the piece of
wreckage onto the beach, it would
have been necessary to rig another
set of the apparatus. This would
have occasioned still greater de-
lay and made the situation of the
people left on the wreck much
more critical.
When at last the lines were clear
the buoy was again put in action
and the rest of the sailors were
rescued from their perilous situa.
ton, the last man coming ashore
shortly before ten o'clock. They
! were sent to the station as fast as
landed and sheltered there three
days, until sufficiently recovered

Sugar Beet Wage-Price
Hearing in Billings
December 7fh

Wage rates and prices for the
1852 sugar beet crop will be dis
cussed at Billings, December 7, by
partment of Agriculture representa-
tives. The public hearing will be
held in the Northumberland Utili-
ties building at 1908 End Avenue
North, and will get underway at 10
a. m.
In addition to the Billings meet
Ing, four others will be held during
the first half of December at Greedy,
Colorado; Detroit, Salt Lake City and
ST. Paul.
The five hearings will be consid-
cred as one by the Department in
determining wages and prices for
the 1852 crop.
One of the conditions which pro-
ducers must meet to qualify for pay
ments under the Sugar Act of
1913 is to pay wage rates not less
than those determined to be fair
and reasonable by the Secretary of
Agriculture after public hearing and
investigation. The act also provides,
as condition for payment, that proc
essors, who are also producers must
pay for sugar beets purchased from
other producers at prices determined
to be fair and reasonable by the
Secretary of Agriculture
In order to obtain the best infor-
nation the Department requests that
all interested parties appear at the
hearings to express their views and
present appropriate data in regard to
wages and rices.

revolutionary forces at work in Asia:
CD Intense nationalism born of a
deep revolt against foreign domino
ton. CD A passionate resolve to be
rid of landlordism. CD A burning
concept of equality for the colored
races, a resolve to restore colored
people to a place of dignity and re-
spect.
These are the forces that America
should recognize and help to shape
toward bringing. a better life for the
peoples of Asia and toward bringing
them to our side in the struggle
against communism. But we pretend
these forces do not exist. We con-
tinue to back the old orders in these
Landslide forces which has imposed
landlordism and poverty on the mass
es-until we have become a symbol
of world reaction.
The Communists are stepping into
this vacuum and are making their
appeals to the yearning of these
people for a better life. They offer
themselves as the champions of the
revolution. They fight white suprema-
cy; we continue to make it our of
ficial policy by our failure in the
congress to grant our non-white pop
ulation their rights as citizens.
We are losing the struggle against
communism in Asia and the other
backward countries of the world. I'm
less we listen to the advice of men
like Justice Douglas we will wake
up someday to find these million ar
rayed against us in a terrible strug-
gle for survival.
