'But nothing may be accomplished
by cutting the trees down," Mr. .Reed
said. "Just now is a poor season to
tell whether the trees have actually
been permanently harmed, so I wouio)
advise that the matter be carefully in
vestigated before any aotion toward
removing the orchards la taken."
He then oited several cases where
growers .in 'the south, fearing that
their trees were ruined be the cold, re
moved the orchards, while others let

orchards,
Mr. Reed and Mr. Fisher will be at

workers as longsshoremnn, garment
makers, paper hangers, railroad
brakemen, chauffeurs, sailors, truck
drivers and piano movers. 'And
don't forget the chorus girls, the
movie stars and ths hotel waiters,"
declared the oolleotor, Adding that
noma of the latter are making more
than 18,000 a year In tips alone.
1 Street car conductors and motor
men In Brooklyn, for Instance, he sntd,
have made as much as 60 a week
andi if their yearly Income exceeds
$1,000 for a single man or $2,000 for
the head of a family, they will be
required to contribute their share to
ward the cost of running the govern
ment, Mr. Edwards cited a few In
stances without, of course, mention
ing any names, of bootblacks, milk
