POISONED BRAINS

The commissioner of mental diseases III
Massachusetts reports an increase OF per
cent last year in the number OF alcoholic cases
of mental disorder admitted to state institu-
tons. He attributes the increase to poison
Gus liquor,
Alcohol always did poison peoples brains,
when drunk to excess, in spite OF all the rub

liquor" But there is no question that ;he
stuff sold nowadays is incomparably worse,

ingredients. either inserted by the makers or

UNDERGROUND STREAMS FOR
POWER

Business men and engineers of College
View and Nebraska City, Nebr., are investl-
eating the possibility of Harvesting the I'M
dergrolnd rivers of that section and convert
ing them into electric power Here is some
thing rather new i'll water-power projects.
1t is said that the whole region of those
two cities is rnderlaid by swift subterranean
streams OF pure water. 1t is not impossible
the engineers have said, to convert the EN-
ergy of those currents into enough power to
light every city and run every trolley car in
the state
1t is hardly likely that southeastern Ne
braska is the only part of the United States
"underlaid by swift subterranean streams.
If it is found feasible to use such streams
for the production of white coal there
should be a general movement to discover
them and use them SO. Persons who oppose
the use of scenically lovely rivers and water
falls for commercial power production could
not have the same objection to the use of
invisible streams. 1t is an interesting propo-
sition and one that ought to be investigated
thoroughly.

Has Killed One Man
But Still Totes Gun

Ernest Lloyd, colored, alias
'Mutt" Grooms, who on Deem
Der 90, 1921, shot and killed Her
bert McCray, colored, was in
police court yesterday charged
with drawing revolver on James
jenkins, colored. Lloyd, however,
denied the charge claiming it was
frame up. The court viewed the
matter differently and fined the
accused $25 for gun toting and
imposed an additional fine of $40
because Policeman Miller testi-
fled that when he and Policeman
Carlton A. Padgett went to
Dloyd's house early yesterday
to arrest, him he kept them wait
ing nearly an hour and then
finally endeavored to elude the
watching sleuths by getting out
of the back way when he was
caught by Policeman .Padgett.
Lloyd has just gotten out of Jail
having served year for the
shooting and killing of McCray.

 But he went into politics
 When the thing was really new.

NEGRO MIGRATION
INCREASE GREAT

During this year, according to the
results of QUESTIONABLE sent out by
the Georgia Bankers Association,
from go to 100 counties of the state,
Al 1874 negroes have migrated from
this state alone. Although ''mob vio-
lence, inferior schools, low wages and
inequality of law enforcement" are
constantly quoted as the reasons
causing the northern exodus of the ne
gro, the conditions of employment on
the large estates are generally ac-
cepted as the real cause.
There can be no doubt that the VS.
tematic recruiting of negro labor for
the big stockyards of Illinois, the
steel mills of Western Pennsylvania
and Ohio, under slogans of high
wages and a good job, is also an i'm
portant factor in the recent migration
of the negroes. Gary Of the steel
trust has been encouraging the en-
ployment of negroes who, without the
protection of unions and industrial
conditions of the north, will work
longer hours and for lower wages
than the white workers.

BUSINESS, CIVIC AND FARM GROUPS JOIN
WITH LABOR IN LABOR DAY CELEBRATION

AS Olympia is one of the largest in
dustrial centers of the state, It is to
be expected that all branches Of the
trade union movement are well repre-
scented. After suffering temporary
slump during the reconstruction pc
Rod following the war, all the local
organizations have overcome the loss
es suffered and are today in a much
healthier condition than they were
previous to the abnormal period OF
the war. A number of get-together
meetings we're held during the early
months of the present year In con-
junction with the Officers Of the state
labor movement, which had tenden-
ey to establish a fraternal feeling
among the wage earners that cement
ed them closed together than they
had been for some time previous.
Olympia is not only famous because
OF its favorable location, the home of
the state government and Olympia

OLYMPIA SELECTED
CAPITAL IN 1854

Olympia is one of Washington's old
est cities, it was selected as the capt.
tai OF the state by the territorial leg
islature in January, 1854, and has re-
NAMED the seat of the state govern
ment since that time. 1t is also the
county seat of Thurston county and
has population of 1857 according
to the 1920 census.
/ Olympia is located on the Deschutes
river and the southern part of Puget
Sound, on the Northern Pacific and
O.W r. & N. railroads. Besides the
railroads the city has steamboat con-
nections with Seattle, Victoria, and
other Puget Sound points as well as
the principal ports of the Pacific and
the world. lbs transportation facili-
ties make 1t an ideal location for
manufacturing plants.
Olympia is the outlet for some or
the finest mineral, timber, fruit and
agricultural products. In the noun
tains nearby coal. iron, lime and COP
per are mined. The immense power
plant Of the Olympia Light & Power
company, located at Tumwater, two
miles south OF the city, furnishes
light and power for the city and man
ufacturing plants. The electricity is
generated by the falls on the Des-
chutes river. The company also main
tains an interurban line between
Olympia and Tumwater, and street
railways In the city.
Industries.
It's main industry as in practically
all industrial centers of the North
west, is numbering. There are ten
lumber mills in or tributary to the
city a number Of shingIe mills and
two veneer plants. The iron foun-
dries, boot and shoe factory and wood
pipe works, can be named as the next
important industries
The beds of the famous Olympia
oysters are also located here. These
beds are recognized as the finest and
largest to be found anywhere on the
Pacific coast. These oysters are ship
per to all parts Of the western Sec
tion of the United Staes. Many of the
city's inhabitants are employed at the
beds or at the canneries where the
oysters are prepared for shipping.

VOTES
FOR LABOR PARTY

Iowa workers want a labor party,
but are opposed to the amalgamation
of craft unions into industrial I'M
ions.
At is fortieth annual convention
the Iowa State Federation of Labor
voted down the resolution favoring
amalgamation, although the state
declarations of fifteen other states
have supported the movement. The
workers of that state elected Brook
hart by the non-partisan method.
Why should they now declare for in
dependent political action?

Forward Always.

The unions do things. Every hour
of the day they advance inch by inch
and step by step. They have beaten
down opposition. They have COM
PEELED judges, clergymen, economists
and educators to revise their views
of our cause and movement.

mer home of G. o. C'Dad') Young.
Dad" Young is the oldest organizer
in point Of service in the employ
ment of the American Federation of
Labor and was formerly employed as
an engineer In this city. His first work
in the labor movement in this state
was done in Olympia when the engi-
neers commissioned him to appear be-
fore the legislature and demand reme-
dial Legislation in years gone by be-
fore the present State Federation of
Labor, which now takes care OF this
work, was formed. He is today still
one of the biggest men in the labor
movement and loved by all who meet
him.
The strongest locals in Olympia are
the Carpenters, Culinary Workers,
Painters and Transfers, which are
/ also the oldest organizations in the
city.
Unions Active.
At the convention of the Washing
ton State Federation OF Labor at Bel
lingham last July, Olympia was very
ably represented, practically every To-
cal union sending full delegation. 1t
was because of the strong fight made
by these delegates that Olympia was
chosen as the next convention city
by the state labor movement. The
business and civic organizations OF
( the city assisted the delegates at the
convention by sending kilograms to
( be read on the convention floor. pledg-
ing their cooperation in caring for the
delegates comforts and entertainment.
Brother Durham, Of the Teamsters'
union, put up a game fight and won.
Generally speaking the Olympia
group is a very important part of the
state movement. There were few
committees appointed by President
Short that did not include at least one
representative from Olympia.
Labor has also asked the Chamber
Of Commerce, the Thurston County
Grange, the Park Board and Farm
Bureau to celebrate Labor Day jointly
with the wage earners at Preist Point
park, Monday. The different organic
atoms have excepted the invitation
and we can safely predict that the
Labor Day celebration this year in
Olympia will be the biggest and the
gnandest in the city's history. Dad
Young will deliver the main address
of the day, the other groups will also
have speakers, whose names we were
unable to get before going to press.
At a general committee meeting
Representatives of the various organ.
izations agreed to pool their Labor
Day celebrations into one big one. A
G.. Raab was elected chairman and
Attorney Harry L. Parr, sec retary OF
the executive committee. Complete
details for the celebration Monday
were worked out at a meeting OF
the committee August 18th.
J Sunday evening, Young will speak
from the pulpit of the Community
Church on labor subject.
