$50 men are employed at the plant
and In the logging camps of the

CENTRALA IS FAST
BECOMING STATES
INDUSTRIAL CENTER

Because Of It's location on four main
line railroad systems, with the ad-
dition Of the five branch lines radIat-
ing from the city, it is indeed favor
able located as a distributing point.
Besides the transportation facilities,
good factory sites, cheap fuel furnish
ed BY the near by coal mines and
humorous things THAT ART. usually
given consideration by capital when
looking for an industrial site, the
citizens have developed q real spirit
OF helpfulness, and when the new
conner lands in their midst, this
spirit makes it indeed hard to get
away.
There are eighteen lumber mills In
tributary territory, two of the larger
ones right in the city with a monthly
pay roll of S65 900, employing 400 men
steadily. The total yearly out put Of
these lumber mills is approximately
-four hundred million feet yearly, be-
sides there are several shinglemills
that saw thousands of squares every
year.
The smaller plants located here
include an incubator factory which
produces a finished machine every Is
minutes Of 24-hour day; the famous
Churchhill gloves worn by so many Of
the Pacific coast loggers are also
manufactured here; two iron foun-
dries, ice plants, several sheet metal
works and the large repair shops Of
the railroads.
The very agreeable climate enjoyed
the year round make the growing Of
grass the year round possible, thus
making the surrounding agriculture
bands ideal for dairying, which has be-
come an important industry, produc-
ing 100000 pounds Of butter fat In
tthe year Of 1922. A large portion of
the dairy products and produce from
the farms are sold to tthe dairy pro-
duct and produce dealers in Central
ia and Chehalis Large as tthe dairy
industry is, poultry raising has even
surpassed It. During 1921, Lewis
county hens produced 3,50O,OO0 dozens
eggs and in 1922 raised the ante to
TS,8OO,0O0. This exceeds the produc-
tion Of any other section of the United
States. The 1922 crop of hen fruit
was large enough to supply each child
of school age in the United States
with two boiled eggs for breakfast.
With its fifteen coal mines and
many other Industries, CentraIia has
well earned the name OF being one of
State larger Industrial centers.

The city of Centralia was settled in
the year 1871 and Incorporated in the
year 1890 and has a population close
to 10000. 1t is located at the junction
Of the Chehalis and Skookumchock
rivers. Its incorporated area is ap.
proximately three miles square and
has commission form of govern
ment
1t has four trunk line railroads

Meeting the city with adjoining COM
munities not on the main lines. The
modern Union Depot was construct
ed at a cost Of 100000, and is am
pie and large enough to care for the
travelling public. There are twenty
eight passenger trains arriving and
departing daily. Travellers wishing
to call on business which can be
transacted In a few minutes need
not wait long before taking a train
home or to some other locality, as
trains are leaving in all directions
stage lines operate over the Pacific
highway to Olympia, Tacoma and
Grays HarbOr cities, also over the
famous Ocean Beach highway to
Raymond and South Bend. Central
Ia is also connected with ChehaliS,
the county seat, four miles away
with an electric interurban. 1t is
the division point, and railroads
maintain repair shops which employ
a large force Of men.
The city has established a fine
Auto Tourist Park at Riverside
park. That the camping grounds for
tourists is appreciated can be seen
by the number Of tourists who camp
there daily. Every afternoon and
evening the park is crowded to ca
pacity. The beautiful bathing beach
and other ccOmmodations has made
the park most desirable for auto
travellers and this accounts for the
heavy traffic from and to the place.
Copies OF the Centralia Tribune are
distributed free to the campers ev-
cry Saturday morning.
Centralia's street improvements
are OF the best, eight miles paved,
four miles Of which were paved dur
ing 1928. In all there are seventy
five miles of concrete walks, wide
enough to make walking comfort
able during busy days. The water

other fellow.
The labor movement of Chehalis
and Centnalia will celebrate Labor

have invited the general public and
ths business men especially to be
present.
Community House.
About a year and a half ago the
Chamber of Commerce, labor and
civic organizations financed and built
the Community House. These organ.
izations all make this their headquar-
ters. and Mr.. C. E. Kennon, secretary
of the Culinary Workers, reports that
this arrangement has worked out very
satisfactory for all parties interested
Investigations show that most of the
labor troubles are due to misunder-
standing. II all meet upon common
ground and play a game of billiards
after the days work is done, there is
not much chance of misunderstand-
ings. This fraternal feeling should
be encouraged by all means.
The Centralia representatives at the
convention Of the Washington State
Federation of Labor at Bellingham
made a strong fight for the 1924 con-
vention, losing out by only II votes
after the roll call vote. The first vote
taken was a rising vote and showed a
majority of only one vote In favor OF

halls delegates done q little pre-vot-

DEVELOPING FAST

One of the largest and most stable
industries of the Grays Harbor cOun-
ty is dairying. While this industry is
now carried on on a large scale it is
bound to develop on a still larger
scale because of the large acreage of
undeveloped logged off land which.
when improved, make ideal dairy
farms.

ORGANIZATIONS OF
LABOR MAKE GAINS
IN LEWIS COUNTY

Organized labor OF Chehalis and
Centralia has made wonderfulu prog
ress during the past year. notably the
Culinary Workers. The Central Labor
Council has also been reorganized,
and met in Chehalis until the first
part of August when the meeting
place was changed to the Community
House in Centralia.
A splendid spirit of cooperation ex-
lists between the employers, business
men and the trade unions. 1t is thru
this cooperation that SO much can be
accomplished which is beneficial to
all concerned and is oftentimes lack
ing. Centralia and Chehalis have al
ready profited greatly thru this co
operation and will profit more. Some
OF the organizations supporting the
trade unions are the Rotary Club, XII
wants Club. American Legion and the
Chamber of Commerce. The last
named exchanges maternal degelates
with the Central Labor Council.
Joint Locals.
AS is the case on Gnays Harbor,
most Of the trades have one local COW
ering both Centralia and Chehalis
with the exception Of the carpenters,
which maintain a local in both cities.
All trades report busy season and
employment for all members, the Cul-
mary Workers even report they were
unable to fill all calls for help. Some
of the stronger locals are the Gull
nary Workers, Carpenters, Railway
ShOpmen, BARRIERS, Painters and the
Typographical union. The retail
clerks are not organized, but are
showing favorable signs of doing so
in the near future. Organization
meetings have been held during the
summer, at which prominent men in
the state labor movement addressed
the meetings.
The /. w. w. are causing the Gull
nary Workers and the Stage En-
ployes a little trouble at the present
time. The Idle Hour and Moore Cafe
employ union labor wherever possi-
BILE, yet the Industrial Workers for
some reason that we were unable to
get, have bOycotted these places. The
same thing applies TO the Rialto and
Liberty theaters. II the people en-
ployed are satisfied with the eondi-
tiOns under which they work, it seems
