Grafton, Councilman Louis F. Bartels
was very anxious to ascertain from
members of the labor delegation how
the city government could afford re-
lief. Ed. L. Doyle, secretary of the
United Mine Workers, Immediately
suggested that the mayor or the city
council might invite arrest by seizing
coal and distributing it to consumers.
He further stated that should the
mayor and nine councilmen conclude
to pursue this policy and become mar
prices, the citizens would erect monu-
ments to them upon the new civic
center. 1t is not recorded, however,
that either of the councilmen present
took kindly to this proposition. When
one of the councilmen suggested that
the committee might enter into an in
vestigation of the matter, Doyle inter
jected by saing "And if the end of
the world were to come, Mars would
no doubt render a verdict of killed
by investigation" The labor dele
cation made it clear that they were
not asking for an investigation, but
for action that would provide prompt
and adequate relief.

IN response to letter sent out
L by the joint legislative commit
tee OF the State Federation of La
Dor, Railroad Brotherhoods, Trades
Assembly and Building Trades Coun-
ell, many letters are being received by
members of the legislature urging re-
peal of the industrial commission law.
Senators and representatives are
hearing from the folks back home
and there is every reason to believe
that these letters are making an I'M
preston. Nothing gets under the
hide of the average state legislator
quicker than an incisive letter writ
ten by one of his constituents. He
realizes that when he gets home the
writer will face him and demand an
accounting of his stewardship. There
fore, the o. p. suggests that men AMI
women of organized labor thruout the
state continue to write these letters
expressing their views on the indus
trial commission law and workmen's
compensation act in order that their
representatives here in Denver may
know. Especially should these let
ters be written to members of the
senate and house committees on indus
trial relations, who have charge of
these measures.

The question of transportation for
the Island Is one that will not down
while unsatisfactory service is the rule
rather than the exception. While no
reasonable person could consistently
complain of the service or fare be-
tween Burton aud Tacoma, and which
will soon be further improved by the
launching of new boat, the fact re-
mains that the east side and the north
end OF the Island has had ground for
complaint. And much to the disap-
pointment Of many the present ferry
has not, and II is plain cannot, solve
the problem. 1t is bad situation. No
use going into details or INDUCING in
personalities. Everybody knows all
about it. This Record is not author
lied to speak for any one, and is not
informed as to whether the ferry will
be removed from its present locations:
but movement has been started that
without question means direct connec-
tion by ferry between Kitsap and King
counties and the north end Of the
Island and Seattle, eventually. AAnd
when that is an accomplished faci it
will be necessary to operate two bolts,
at least during the summer months.
A ferry at the south end, operated ~
Pierce county. is assured. and this will
mean rapid transportation between
the north end and the south end with
regular and dependable schedules. AT
present writing it does not look like a
wise move to take the ferry away from
the present location until the close Of
summer travel at least Since the port
commission has displaced the West Sc
attic ferry with new boat, it is pos
sible the old boat could I've secured.
The port commission, it is understood
has rendered to the county commission
ers the use of the Marion street dock
for ferry terminal.

Island, advanced by the correspondent
from Maury Center in The Record Of
last week, Is % good one and should be
thorols discussed and some plan set
afoot 10 secure suitable tract. The
writer recalls a suggestion along this
line made to him by Mr. Sheffield Of
Southern Heights while discussing the
location Of The Island fair. His idea
was that land should be purchased at
or near Quar;crmastcr for fair grounds
and permanent buildings erected: the
annual strawberry festival 10 beld at
the same place and also the meetings
of the commercial club and other or
ganizations II would be difficult TO
find location more ideal than in the
vicinity Of Quartermaster; it is central:
convenient to boats: on the main high
way, and with ferry service at the
south end and also at the north end Of
/ the Island (which is bound TO GOMEZ and
irregular stage schedule between these
points, it could be made attractive for
visitors also, and veritable Island
playground. Why not get busy on
such project, now? Let's hear from
others.

about it. The smaller the community,
the greater the weight OF the mail

inter-dependent. The whole towns sue

and the whole towns prosperity de-
ponds on the money made and spent in
that town. The trouble is, most Of
us have looked at this from only one
angle. We compare prices-often neg

charges II but never once have we COM

granted. Let's consider service along
with prices. Let's stop sending good
cash away. Let's malSe an effort to
keep it home, where it viii have an
