CONTINUE, IS PLAN
Conference of Unions Presi-
dents Here Plans Aggressive
Action Involving Much Money

There will he no letup In the ma
tIon-wide strike of the steel workers
This has been decided upon by the
conference of the twcnty-four presi-
dents of the unions involved in the
strike. who were in executive session
here two days. BY vote of the mem
bers of the conference. it was an
nounced. definite plans were formu-
lated for an aggressive continuation
of the strike. in which large sums of
money are to be used. il is said.
This was determined upon al the
conference. which lasted all day yes
terdaE and until late last night. John
Fitzpatrick. president of the steel
strike committee. at the close of the
conference. said il was the most en-
thusiastic since the original declara-
ton of the strike order in September.
All members of the conference de-
clare victory is in sight. and that the
United States steel Corporation will
be given a whipping that VIII settle
them once and for all
Fitzpatrick Confident.
Mr. Fitzpatrick. discussing the de-
termination Of the committee to con-
tinue the strike with renewed energy.
said:
'Itmakes no difference in our plans
whether the strike lasts another six
months or another year We are
going to win and we are Just as
confident of ultimate victory tonight
as we We're when the steel workers
walked out.
Replying to the question as to
whether many of the strikers had re-
,nrped 10 work. Mr.. Fitzpatrick said
that while there h" f"'i ,ofll'' -
fections among the str kers. they were
not sufficient to imptril the strike s
successful issue.
When th" union man dnes 20 oach
70 work" he continued. he does so
with hate and bitterness in his heart.
He goes back discouraged and hope
less The presence of such dlSpirlted
men in the steel plants can only re-
dound to our advantage. 1t is goinS
to awaken in them the feeling OF op-
nression such as the workers in Rus
sia and in Poland and in other Euro
pean countries have suffered and from
which they have rebelled. Make no
mistake about that.
National Committees Statement.
Tpon the adjournment of the all
day conference the national commit
tee gave out the following statement:
After two days session of the ma
tional committee OF organized IRON
and steel workers. by unanimous ac-
tion it was voted TO put additlonai
efforts and resources in men and
money into the steel strike fight. This
action followed microscopic examina-
ton of written reports from every
steel center and compilation OF hg-
ures on production. which now is not
more than SO per cent of the tonnage
turned out prior to the strike.
Members of the strike committee.
on the vote. declared that
the recent cancellation by the United
States Steel Corporation Of the huge
foreign contracts was one of the most
favorable auguries of the eventual
success of the strike. 1t also was as
serted that while many steel plants
had resumed operation. production
had been far below normal with the
overhead charges of the company re-
naming the same as during normal
production.

Asks Communities to be Ready

A job will be waiting for every man
of the 164th Field Artillery when he

commander Of the regiment, has his
way. Lt.-Col. Weyrauch has written
to every community from which the
146th was recruited, asking that old
Jobs or new ones equally as good be
lined up for the boys before they re-
turn.
In his letter to President Mattecheck
of the Kennewick Commercial club,
Lt.-Col. Weyrauch says:

will be looked after when he returns

ton high line all lie tributary to Yah-
ma, those under the Sunnyside high
line are tributary to Zillah, Sunny
side, Grandview and Prosser, and those
under the lower project are all trlbu-
ary to Kennewick. OF the three the
Kennewick project is the only one IN
which any considerable acreage is now
under cultivation. Mr.. Swigart also
pointed out that while the other pro-
jects are dependent upon stored waters
for their source of supply and cannot
be developed except as further
storage is developed, such is not the
case with the Kennewick project as its
source of water supply is not from
stored waters, but from the return
flow from irrigation farther up the
valley. This project is not dependent
upon stored water and need not be de-
|layed to await further storage devel-
opment and water can be put on the
lands in the upper end of the project
within one year after construction is
started.
M. M. Moulton, secretary OF the
Kennewick irrigation district, explain
ed that all legal preliminaries are out
T of the way and no delay will be occas-
Toned by the districts not being ready.
