STRIKING MINERS
THANK WORKERS
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION FOR
MINERS KIDDIES PROVES
HUGE SUCCESS

The Christmas celebration for the
children Of the striking miners Of
the state seems to have proved q
huge success at each Ct the 8trik-
ing camps, as is evidenced by the
letters of appreciation that have
been mailed in to Federation head
quarters, all of which express sin
cere gratitude to the workers Of the
state and the committee in cnarge
for the splendid results obtained.
One of the messages received from
Black Diamond is typical of those
coming from all of the other camps,
and is herewith quoted:
"We wish to acknowledge receipt
of your letter of the 10Th and wish
to thank you and the committee for
the generous supply of nuts, candy
and presents that were sent the
striking miners children for Christ
mas.
"The Christmas donations, includ-
ing the entertainment, proved huge
success and pleased the hearts Of
every striking miners child.
"Therefore, in behalf of Local
Union No. 2257 we again wish to
thank you and all the committee and
the workers of the state for the Won
derful work you have accomplished
in gladdening the hearts of all the
miners kiddies.
wishing you all merry, merry
Christmas and happy New Year,
we remain,

1--WE stand ready to make good
on the contract that the Delta COM
pany has rendered to the city Of
Everett whereby it agrees to fur
niSh $500 kilowatts Of electric cur
rent at 5-Sc per kilowatt hour" said
Mir. Mac Kean. ut should be borne
in mind however, that this contract
would be on a wholesale basis. and
cOntemplates that the city Of Ever
ett itself will undertake the distri-
button Of this current. Our company
recently sought a permit from the
Everett commissioners to serve a
few industrial plants near the city
limits When the commissioners sug-
gested that the proposed permit was
in the nature of a franchise, | re-
spectfully withdrew nay application,
explaining that the Delta would not
accept franchise and that it would
simply await the city's acceptance
Of its offer Of 5-Sc current.
THAT we can serve electric cur
rent to the people Of Snohomish and
Skagit counties at much less than
the rates now prevailing. is proven
by Tacoma's notable success. Since
1915 Tacoma has charged but half
a cent per kilowatt hour for heat
ing homes, about $50 per year ($6.67
per monthly for the average home
and has furnished power to large in
dustrial plants as low as 45-hun-
dredths Of a cent. Tacoma's aver
age charge, for all uses, is one and
two-tenths cents per kilowatt hour.
And yet the gross earning for the
current year has been about ia
million dollars from a plant that
originally cost but 2la million dol
lars, about $40 per horsepower per
year; net earning of about $500
600 for the current year.
"Tacoma's experience has taught
that the cheaper the rate. the great
er the consumption of current: that
low rate encourages the use Of
current for power, heat and cooking
during off-peak hours and thereby
spondingly enhances the plants
earnings. Incidentally this contrib
utes greatly to the comfort and con-
venieuce of the household and stimu-
lates industrial development.
Cheap power would encourage
the rapid industrial development of
Everett and vicinity. l take it as n
matter of course that Snobomish
county will promptly grant the Del
ia company a franchise, just as
Skagit county did, and thereby eT-
pedito an enterprise that viii be of
great public benefit

RUSSIAN RELIEF
HELPED BY FILM

Within one week after the an
nouncment that the film "Russia
Through the Shadows" was ready
for showing. more than a score of
applications reached the office of
the Friends of Soviet Russia. POI
West 18th street, New York These
ranged all the way from San Fran
cisco to Jacksonville Fla.
The divergent conditions under
which the film is shown have made
necessary a very flexible equipment
and organization. Where the film is
shown in regular moving picture
houses, either rented outright or
haired on a percentage basis. there
one kind of equipment is needed.
Where it is shown in halls in cities
where there are stringent fire regu-
lations a special kind of film and
machine must be provided, while
still another combination Of equip
ment is needed in hall exhibitions
where less technical fire regulations
prevail. In every case those using
the films are assured of the very
maximum of safety known to the
film industry, much more so than
that which prevails in ordinary COM
mercial film.
From the responses thus far re-
ceived it is anticipated that the
routing of this film, and another
which is to follow, will be one of
the most popular and effective un-
dertakings ever launched in behalf
of Russian relief.

NEW YEARS MORNING
By Helen Hunt jackson

Only night from old to new!
Only night and so much wrought!
The Old Years heart all weary grew,
But said, "The New Year rest has brought.
The Old Years heart it's hopes laid down
AS in a grave, but, trusting, said,
'The blossoms of the New Years crown
Bloom from the ashes Of the dead"
The Old Years heart was full of greed;
With selfishness it longed and ached
And cried, 81 have not half | need;
But to the New Years generous hand
All gifts in plenty shall return;
True loving it shall understand;
By all my failures it shall learn
l have been reckless; it shall be
Quiet and calm and pure of life.
l was a slave; it shall go free
And find sweet peace where leave strife"
Only night from old to new!
Night and the healing balm of sleep!
Each morn is New Years morn come true,
More of festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to make
Confession and resolve and prayer,
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the sunny air.
Only night from old to new!
Only sleep from night to morn!
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees new year born.
