the State agricultural college, together
with several of Miami's pub-i
iu-?|iiunu nuuivu, in oruer 10 give
fairer prices to both the housewife
tuul the producer. A committee co-,
operates with nearby truckers in arranging
for the produce. The truckors
are panting every two weeks in
order to guarantee the women a constant
supply of fresh vegetables.
Fruit, eggs, butter, cottage cheese.,
and poultry are also sold. A fee of
25 cents is paid by all those selling
products. This goes into a general
fund for advertising the market and
beeping the street clean.

| New York, Aug. 26.?All former
employes of the Western Union Telegraph
company who were discharged
because of their affiliations with the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of
America during the recent difllculties
between the company and the
union before the company was taken " -fl
. over by the government, will have
the privilege of reinstatement, it was
announced by the company.
Vice- President Atkins of tho company,
made the following statement:
"Conforming with the policy laid
down by the government all former
employes of the Western Union Telegraph
company released solely because
of the affiliation with the Commercial
Telegraphers Unions of
America, are now eligible for reemployment
with the company."
Between 650 and 700 men are affected
by the ruling, Mr. Atkins added.
! The difficulties between the West
ern Union and the telegraphers,
which involves a threat of strike,
arose from the refusal of the com,pany
to deal with tho union. The %
company discharged employes who
' joined the union and organized an
association of its non-union employes
with which it announced it would \ii
deal exclusively. Notwithstanding a *"|J
