YOUNG PEOPLES
LABOR UNION
FOR EDUCATION

One of the promising developments
within the labor movement recently,
Is the establishment of the National
Association for Child Development.
This organization developed as a re-
suit of number of conferences of
labor men and women, educators, and
parents, who realized the great need
of acquainting the growing genera
ton with the social and economic
problems that face mankind and pre-
pairing Youth for intelligent partici-
patton in the work of lettering So
ciety.
The National Association for Child
Development plans to carry on its
work through childrens' clubs, sum
mer camps and other similar means,
and is now working on a program that
promises to be fully as interesting to
to children as that of any of the
present boys and girls organizations.
There is in this new program no trace
of the military or anti-soeial features
that are so prevalent in other chill
drens organizations, and the program
includes many social service activities
that will be bound to help i'm the de-
Velopment of the social conscience of
the children, and will lead to an un-
derstanding of labor problems and of
the need for international peace.
This new organization will begin its
work this year with a summer camp
at Pawling, New York. 1t is expect

FORT MASSAC Is
BEING DEVELOPED
FOR STATE PARK

Fort Massac Park at Metropolis,
Illinois, on the Ohio river and oppO-
site Paducah, Kentucky, is being made
into one of the chief points of histori-
cal interest in the central west.
In 1903, the State first purchased
twenty acres upon which stood the old
fortress. Early in the administration
of Governor Small when ii was am
nounced that proper recognition would
be given State parks and places Of
historical interest, an additional tract
of l05 acres was purchased by the
State and Improvements begun for
making the park attractive TO visitors.
The new land has been fenced.
Facilities for "a modern tourist camp
have been installed. Gravel drives
were constructed through the park
to make all parts accessible to visitors
and to relieve the congestion OF the
original twenty acres. These improve
ments cost approximately 9l2,0O0.OO
Everything possible has been done
by the State TO preserve this historic
spot without marring the native
beauty and without destroying the
reminders Of the past. The earth work
ruins are still in good preservation
and show plainly the shape of the
block houses which guarded the far
frontier. Few spots on the North
American continent antedate Fort
Massac in the annals of the white
mans attempt to settle here. His
torical accounts state that the site was
first visited by DeSoto in 1912 when it
was used as a temporary fort against
the Indians.
Its chief value to the history of
Illinois is that it offered the opening
wedge by which George Rogers Clarke
entered and conquered from the Brit
ish the extensive northwest territory
and made it a part of the United
States in one Of the most remarkable
feats in military history,

J L STICE
VERS US
ECON MY

President Coolidge is loud and
strong on economy but puts very
soft pedal on justice. This is brought
out very clearly in his veto of salary
increases for the postal employees
which passed each house of congress
by an overwhelming vote. His veto
message is practically a rehash of the
departments statements in the hear
ings before the joint post office COM
mittee, the authorship of which is, by
some, credited to one of the holdovers
from the hated Burleson administra-
ton. Somewhere in the country they
found an express messenger and a
bank clerk receiving less than a postal
employe which fact becomes a reason
Tor refusing increases to postal work
ers, whereas it merely proved the ex-
press messenger and bank clerk were
getting far too little to support a
family according to common Ameri-
can standards.
The Presidents veto was no sur
prise to those who have followed
postal legislation closely in this Con-
gress. Last winter Mr.. Coolidge was
quoted as saying, "A general increase
of postal salaries at this time would
be a disturbing element" In his
veto message he alluded to the in
crease as wasteful extravaganza. But
the bill which granted certain "high-
erups" in the p. o. department an
increase of fifty percent-$5, 10000 to
S,50O0O became law earlier in the
session and nothing was said then
about waste and extravaganza.
1t would have been more to the
point and quite helpful if President
Coolidge in his message had submit
ted a budget for family of five
living according to recognized Ameri-
can standard and keep the total
within the present salary of postal
employees. Then he would have won
his case and rendered a real service
to the postal employees and to the ma
ton. He might do that yet, if he
care.
Theodore Roosevelt gave us the
slogan, "A square deal for every one"
That is all the postal workers have
asked, not favors, not charity, Just
square deal and Congress voicing
public opinion gave it and Mr.. Cool

justice, took it away The postal

omy as much as Mr.. Coolidge but they
believe in justice first and with it
real economy, not the kind of econ
omy that would save government
revenue by compelling them to render
their services for less than n living
wage, but that honest economy which
hrst gives every one square deal
whether he is one of the official fam
lily in Washington or one of the rank
and file who bear the burden and
heat of the day. People will not
enthuse over economy while they are
the victims of injustice. Let us have
justice as a safe and sane basis of
real progress and let us have real
economy, and let it begin at the head
of the line where the position is most
advantageous for showing its beauty
and practicability. Example is more
powerful and inspiring than precept.

West Seattle Water

INVEST SEATTLE, one of the fastest growing
communities in Seattle, has a grievance
one that should hold the attention of city officials
until relief is provided
Just when water is the most desirable thing in
the universe, and when West Seattle lawns need
It badly along comes the city water department
and curtails the supply. Water users there are
restricted to one hour day to do their sprinkling.
Thousands of people are making their homes in
West Seattle. Many of them recently have estab-
lished pretentious places. Solid homecoming kind
of folk which any city is proud of have moved
across the bay where they enjoy the invigorating
sea breezes and feast their eyes on the glow Of
wonderous sunsets behind the 0lympics.
But the city water department seems to have
overlooked these facts.
The water department will reply, of course, that
it holds no grudge against West Seattle; that it
isn't shutting down the water supply just for fun.
West Seattle George Russell likely will say, has
grown so fast as TO upset the plans of the most
sanguine and that it will have to worry thru until
provision is made for greater storage facilities and
larger MAINS
Mr. Russelrs department "has under consid-
Grafton several plans to take care of the situation
but no plan, as far as The Star has been able TO
find out, has gone past the consideration stage.
1t seems that Mr.. Russell has one plan and the
city engineers office has another While they
are fighting over who's is the best, West Seattle is
yelling for drink.
West Seattle has been the victim of more than
one instance of ineffciency if not disregard,
on the part of city officials. Sometimes it has
been accused of provincialism, of too much regard
for itself and all that sort of thing. But West
Seattle knows it has to fight its own battles if it
is ever to obtain the recognition to which it is
entitled
With our wondrous water supply we ought to
regard it as public disgrace if any section Of
Seattle is allowed to experience even the faintest
suggestion of water shortage.
Let's have action in behalf of West Seattle
