UNION OFFICERS
PAY AIDS IDLE
Hundred Mine Workers
Chiefs Refuse Salaries
For Month
f INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., July 15.
IBy Associated Press.) No sal
aries will be accepted by more than
100 officers of the United Mine
Workers of America for their work
this month “because of the wide
spread unemployment among coal min
ers,’’ said today's issue of the Mme
Workers' Journal, official publica
tion of the international union.
All officials, including the head
officers, members of the internation
al executive board, organizers and
field w’orkers, according to the an
nouncement, “have volunteered to
contribute their entire salaries for
July to the organization ;n mder
that they may share the burdi o'
hardships with the members r ' •
union.”
The exact amount thus cont: >ui
ed was not announced, it being md
that some of the officials work part
time on a per diem basis. The to
tal. however, was expected to r >
to several thousand dollars. John L
Lewis, as president of the union, re
ceives $666.66 a month, and Philip,
Murray, vice-president, and William
Green, secretary, each receive
$583.33.
The salaries, it was explained at
the union's headquarters, will remain
in the general fund of the organiza
tion, which it was said has received
many calls for relief, but maintains
only one fund for all expenditures |
of the union.
“It has long been the cry of some
people,” said the Mine Workers
Journal today, “that regardless of
whether the membership worked or
not the salaries of the officers went
on as usual. Such talk is indulged
in solely for the purpose of creating
a distrust of the officers in the minds
of the membership. Their voluntary
action, however, in contributing their
entire salary for July should go far
to dissipate such impressions and
prove that the officials feel a deep,
sincere interest in the well being of
the rank and file of the member
ship.”
Union headquarters estimated that
not less than 150,000 union miners
in the country are at work and that
many thousands more work one to
three days a week. Hundreds of
mines, throughout the country, are
closed and others are working short
time because of the slack demand for
coal, it was said.

set down the results in a bulletin just
issued. G. B. Ray, cotton exper’ re
cently sent here from The Delta lab
oratory as advisor on weevil control
for Western Georgii I *
the T nies-Recorder with . copy of
this bulletin which follows:
live weevils collected .-how almos-
three times as many found on the
plats treated with molasse- as on
those treated with calcium arsenate,
while it is seen that the molasses
mixture does exercis* a c< rtain de
gree of control over the boll weevil
but that this rs generally b- than
that -ecund with plain du-ted > < -
cium arsenate Under certain con
ditions it was found that a much bet
ter degree of control was secured
from the molars?* ■ mixture than with
the calcium arsenate, but this re ult
was noted only in the case of very 1
small cotton plants averaging only
a few inches in height, and also only
during exceedingly dry weather. Ihe
latter fact was particularly notice
able and is probably the key-note of
a iation in r< tilts. It -
quite probable that during exceed
ingly hot weather the weevils visit
the droplets of moiasses-water mix
ture for the purpose of securing
moisture hut do not follow this prac
tice to a mar,. 1 degree during nor
mal weather. In other words, the re
sults so far indicate that dusted cal
cium arsenate is superior to the mo
lasses mixture except during exceed
ingly dry weather and on very small
plants. At the present time the
growth of the cotton plants has ap
parently reached the point where the
molasses mixture does not give any
marked degree of control. Our fair
ly large scale applications on an ac
reage basis showed that it takes at
least one hour and a half to treat
, one acre of small cotton with the
I medasses mixture and this would
make the labor cost of the applica
i tion somewhat greater than that in
' volved in applying the plain dust. In
I view of such results there seems to
1 be lit'le reason for using the molasses
: mixture in p. ference to plain calci
l urn arsenate at any time and it cer-
tainly hould not be u ed on the cot :

the question rather serious consider

culture wi*h this particular mixture
but years ago numerous tests were
conducted to determine the‘possibil

negative, although there were a few
instances of a very . light degree of
attraction being shown. In view of
these results it had seemed useless to;
conduct any further tests along this
line until tnc present interest devcl- ’
oped.
The first series of tests consisted
of cage studies comparing the wee
vil mortality or. plants treated with.,
tie molas es mixtur-. plain dus'e
calcium arsenate and also unpoisoned
check plants. Various concentrations
and amounts of the molasses mix
ture were tested and the entire series
was repeated five times. In all a to
tal of 86 different cage experiments
tai of 86 different cage tests, in
- volving the use of about 1200 wee
vils, were included in these series.
The first, test conducted showed ti <•
average mortality produced by the
molasses mixture to be exactly the
same as that of dusted calcium arsen
i ate. The second showed the dusted
calcium arsenate to be superior, while
the third series indicated about an
equal superiority of the molasses
mixture. The fourth test was slightly
in favor of the dusted calcuim arsen
. ate while the fifth showed the two
preparations to have about an equa
degree of toxicity. The average of
the entire series showed the mortal
icy in all cages treated with dusted
, calcium arsenate to be exactly thi
same as that in the cages treated witl
the molasses mixture.
Tests of different amounts of thi
molasses mixture and also of varia
tions in the distribution over the
i > plant showed practii ally no relatioi
, between these variants and the re
■ suitant mortality. In other words, th
j weevil mortality was practically a
’ ‘ great in the cage receiving the lighi

rows of cotton were nested with the .
molasses mixture.- , the next rive with
calcium arsenate and the next

with the molas-t- mixture. In th<
four serie, as a whole there ,s n->
striking difference between the (lif
