COMPANY "UNION" is
1Thuu DIlTTINC
FOR VETO ALIBI

Washington, Aug. 16.-Resentment
of postal workers against the veto of
their wage bill increases, and a back
fire is started by friends of the admin
istration. The first scene was staged
at the White House by representatives
of postal workers company ''un-
ion." The president favors the wage
increase, it is announced, if congress
appropriates the money.
The vetoed wage bill carried pro-
vision for the extra money. The
president vetoed the bill because rates
were not increased. The inference that
congress has not appropriated funds
is new position.
While political parties do not
issue statements when bona fide
trade unionists call at the White
House, the Republican national COM
mittee issued statement on the oc-
casion of the company union visit.
The public is assured that "the presi-
dent made no definite promises i'm this
regard, but the assurance of his SYM
pathy was entirely satisfactory"
The committee hints that the White
House will send message to the
| ton. On that occasion department
chiefs will hand bouquets to the
union" while its LEADERS" smile and
figure on the promotions they will
secure.
In the meantime, legitimate postal
workers organizations will continue
the fight for living wage.
ut can not be too often repeated
that postal workers are entitled to
adequate pay standards regardless of
postal surplus or deficit" said
Secretary-T Treasurer Flaherty of the
National Federation of Post Office
Clerks. The union official points out
that If there is to be a direct rela-
tionship between costs and revenues
the postal employees should be given a
voice, in a substantial way, in fixing
rates and eliminating those features
of the postal service that do not earn
their cost.
Under this head are numerous
political postmasters" who annual
ly consume more than $30,000,000 in
salaries while assistant postmasters
do the work.
Another leakage is in the parcel
post system, which has proven a
gigantic subsidy to the mail-order
houses. 1t is stated that three-quar-
tiers of the weight of all mail is parcel
post, and that practically SIS per cent
of this is mail-order business. Eight
packages go out to one coming in.
This disproves the theory that the
parcel post will bring city and coun-
try nearer. Instead, the country store
keeper is crowded out by the mail
order houses, who are calling on the
storekeeper to aid them in defeating
any changes in the parcel post sys-
tenn.

But in all this intricate maze it
should be remembered that the man
and the platform are first with Union
voters, and that party is second IN
theory at least. Labor has learned
through hard experience and disap-
pointment that it cannot hope to gain
anything through a distinct party
movement. 1t has learned that it
must work for the cause of Organ
lied Labor as the Anti Saloon League
worked for prohibition. Only when a
candidate has announced himself as
friendly to Labor can the crafts sup
port him at the ballot box. In addi-
ton to his announcement he should
have a record of friendly service for
the cause of Labor. A mere announce
ment in itself is insufficient. A record
is worth more than bare statement
that is not backed up by deeds. Men,
bers of the Twin City Federation of
Labor should bear these facts in mind
when they prepare to go to the polls
next November.

Members of the Ku Klux Klan, who
are also members Of the Federation

count Of 9 report that Senator Rob

The impression gained from cur

that the senator is unfriendly to the

illusions it would be we'll for Klans-
men to verify the report If it is
possible to do so.
Members of the Federation of La.

liable. Klansmen will learn the same
if they observe the headlines care

that Republican and Democratic

Champaign county candidates are
beginning TO awaken. Already the
campaign Is starting. A few are
building their fences preparatory 10
launching a district wide canvass for
ballots. Within month the political
pot will be boiling. The old fashioned
torch light procession will give place
to the flash light procession, and every
nook and corner of the district will
be visited and the last voter inter
viewed. Campaign promises worth
copper cent will rise to the dollar
mark in theoretical value. Because
we have become more civilized and
less emotional than our forefathefs
mud-slinging will gravitate to the
sub-soil where ii is less apparent and
more effective in producing a crop.
Political lies will be white-coated.

they will remain in debt as usual.

men and members of Organized La
Dor to remember that this scheme OF
publicity bears the ear marks Of Cool
idge propaganda which is circulated
for the purpose of creating breach
in the ranks of Labor at the next
general election.
That auy member Of Organized La
Dor should fall for such propaganda
is almost unbelievable, yet the alleged
attack of Senator LaFollette upon the
Klan has had this effect in several in
stances that have been brought to the
attention Of the Review.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-08-22

Every Organized Labor paper that
comes to this office emphasizes its
allegiance to the Progressive party,
thus revealing the attitude of Labor
leaders throughout the nation. 1t is
well known fact that at this time
the labor organizations throughout
the land are united as never before
on a single platform with Senator La
Toilette as the standard bearer. The
opposing parties realize that some
thing must be done to break tins
unity, or their cause is lost, and 1t Is
quite logical to assume that certain
opponents of the G. o. p. and Demo-
cratic cause will watch every state
ment made during the campaign by
Senator LaFollette. They may be eX-
pected to twist and exaggerate every
statement that can possibly be turned
into a boomerang to defeat the Pro-
gressive ticket
The Review warns its readers
against this type of propaganda and
advises the officers of the various
crafts to make a thorough lnvesuga-
ton of every report of alleged UNI
friendly remarks toward any class OF
laboring men which may be attributed
to Senator LaFollette.
Particularly in the case of the al
legged LaFollette attack upon the
Khan it will be well for members OF
that order who are also members OF
the Federation of Labor to run down
the rumors before deserving the cause
of Labor in the interest of the klan~

The Review does not presume to
dictate how members of the Fedora
ton of Labor shall cast their ballots
at the next general election. Nor
does it pledge to deliver the ballot of
the Twin City Federation of Labor to
any candidate whatsoever.
On the contrary the Review believes
that members of Organized Labor
have ability to think for themselves
on political questions. This paper
therefore assumes the prerogative OF
informing Union men of the position
of Organized Labor leaders in politl-
Organized Labor, through its lead
ers from Samuel Gompers down is
unalterably for Senator LaFollette in
the present campaign for the reason
that he has announced platform
especially friendly to Labor, and be-
cause his record conforms with his
platform.
Senator LaFollette has been a ma
tional figure in American politics for
the past quarter of a century. He
is outspoken in his friendship for La
Dor and always has been so. Twenty
years ago the writer of this editorial
heard him attack the Rockefeller poll
eies in a ringing speech which lasted
two and a half hours. The senate,
has never changed his policies. II
he believes anything he is likely &c
say it without equivocation. If he has
opposed the Khan he has done sc
openly He has not beaten around
the bush as other candidates are do
ing, while carrying water on botf
shoulders. Every Klansman who is d
member of Organized Labor and who
believes the report of his attack upor
the Klan should remember that the
Progressive leader is not of a racial
or religious order that would make
him natural enemy of the Khan
and inherently incapable of being
convinced or converted. If this order
is ultimately able to show that as an
! organization 1t has an essential place

FOOTBALL GAME ON
THANKSGIVING DAY

A foot ball game has been promis-
ed for this valley on Thanksgiving
Day. The game is to be put on by
Dallas McGlothlen Post, one team
made up of members living in the
vicinity of Hanford and the other
from members in the vicinity OF
White Bluffs. The place and hour
had not been fixed when this was
written but this information will no
doubt be broadcasted the forepart of
next week.
1t has been long time since
any of the Legion boys have taken
part in a football game and in order
that the game will not be held up
too long at any one stage, it is
said that arrangements have been
made with the Red Cross to care
for the casualties as fast as they
occur. Altho it is taking on quite
a, responsibility the boys say they
expect to finish both halves of the
game.
Later: The game is to be played
at 10 O'clock Thanksgiving morn
ing, in tn e vacant field just south
of the Charles Eilertson and j. B..
Tromanhauser orchards at White
Bluffs. John McFee and Charles
M. Sanford will be in general
charge of the festivities and it kind
of looks like they will have their
hands full.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The White Bluffs town basket ball
team and the high school team have
played couple of practice games

evenly matched and put up an in
teresting fight.
The Lambda Sigma, the high school
literary society, are planning an open
program for some date in the near
future. At that time the pupils will
give program of music, speaking
and debate and they are hoping that
large number of the patrons and
friends of the school will turn out
to- listen to the efforts of the pu-
pills.
The High school orchestra ma1e
its first public appearance at the Ar
rnistice Day Program. They made a
very creditable showing. The men,
bers of the orchestra are very enthu-
siastic about their work and as a
consequence are making rapid pro-
gress.
The first interscholastic basketball
game of the year will be held in the
High School Gymnasium Wednesday
evening, November 26. Our first team
will meet the first team of Benton
City on that evening. A second
game will be played between the

high school team has been practicing
during the regular gymnasium hours
and in addition has met for two

HEARING ON VANTAGE BRIDGE

Colonel w. L. Braden of the Unit
ed States engineering corps, who con-
Quoted hearing last Friday at Ell
lensburg on plans and specifications of
the Vantage Bridge company for a
bridge across the Columbia river at
Vantage ferry, announced that the
state highway department protest did
not come within the scope of the
hearing.
The highway departments protest
was based upon their statement that
the states road program for 1927 pro-
vided for the building of bridge at
Vintage and that it therefore did not
want bridge built by private cor
poration.
Colonel Bradcn, however, said that
congress had granted the right to
construct the bridge and that his only
jurisdiction was to learn whether it
would interfere with any possible
navigation of the Columbia river. He
declared the state highway depart
ment must make different showing
or the war department could not with
hold approval,
