OIL SCANDAL GROWS
MAY REVOKE LEASE

The Teapot Dome oil lease, now
under probe by a senate committee,
has assumed the proportions of ma
tional scandal. The president, it is
stated, has called on the attorney
general to watch events. It is possi-
BILE that criminal proceedings will
follow, and the oil lease may be re-
voked. 1t should be revoked by all
means.
Another possibility is that two cab
met officials may be forced into pri-
vate life to appease the popular clam
or. AS in the days of Rome, these
officials will be fed to the lions.
Albert B. Fall, who leased the Wyo-
ming oil field to Sinclair interests
when he was secretary of the inter-
Tor, denies that he received any money
from Sinclair. Where did the money
to buy the fine ranch come from?
Archie Roosevelt told the senate
committee he resigned from the Sin
clair companies because of the "amaz-
ing testimony" developed.
Prior to this Fall stated in a letter
to the committee that he received
100000 from e. B. Mclean, newspa-
per publisher and that he carried
the money west and paid for the ranch
he bought following the leasing OF
Teapot Dome.
Mclean telegraphed his attorney,
formerly Attorney General Palmer, to
the same effect, and Palmer made the
letter public. Then Senator Welsh, a
member of the committee, went to
Florida, where Mclean was staying
under doctors orderds. Mclean told
Senator Walsh different story-that
instead of cash he gave Fall checks
for 500, 900, which were returned un-
cashed. No one seems to deny that
Fall secured at least 100000, but no
one knows where it came from.
Investigations have been temporar-
lily halted because Of the serious ILL
ness Of Mr. Fall.

HOME COMING MEET
IS VOTED SUCCESS

The Twin City local Of Culinary
Workers Of Centralia and Chehalis ar
ranged a home coming social meet
ing in both cities for last Monday af-
ternoon and evening. The culinary To-
calls of Kelso, Olympia, Seattle and
Tacoma sent delegations to meeting.
This is the first gathering of this
kind ever given by the Culinary Work
ers of the Puget Sound-Southwest
Washington district.
The afternoon meeting was held in
the Community House at Centralia,
Mayor Barner presented the keys Of
the city to the Culinary trades and
delivered an address that made pro-
fond impression on his listeners. The
subject of the mayors address was a
hearty welcome and hasty return
for further movement of this kind.
Many others also addressed the aft
ernoon meeting. The delegation was
also entertained by the Boys band
from the state training school and
others local talent.
The evening session was held IN
Chehalis and the keys Of that city
were also turned over to the Gull
nary Workers and friends. Mayor
West of Chehalis was unable to be
present but sent his representative to
address the meeting.
At the large banquet served, every
thing on the tables was donated by
the merchants of the twin cities.
One of the big features of the en-
tertainment was the fish pond, which
provided no end of merriment.
The Jack-o-Lantern Cafe of Cheha-
lis donated a 35-pound fruit cake,
which was raffled between the locals
represented at the gathering. Olympia
finally outbidding the others and
walked away with the cake. Sis
ter Rose of Olympia promised all
those who attend the Leap Year
dance, given by the Culinary Work
ers of that city on Febrary 20, a
piece of this fine cake. The excel
lent spirit of good will displayed at
this, the first gathering of this kind,
left the impression that others of this
nature would follow in the near fu-
ture.

COLLEGE FOR COOKS
NOT IMPOSSIBLE

A college for chefs, whether the
cooks like it or not. But nevertheless
plans for the establishment of a school
were discussed at the annual exhibit
tion of the International Cooks asso-
citation held in Chicago. The estab-
lishment of culinary training col
lege was considered the best means
to raise the standard of the cooking
art.

the trade into the union. At the meet
ing Monday four more applications
were acted upon. If they continue at
this pace, it will only be matter of a
few more weeks until every carpenter
will carry a card. The Aberdeen local
is assisting in every way possible.
The Aberdeen Central Labor coun-
ell claims jurisdiction over the east
end OF Grays Harbor county, aad it is
rumored that Montesano will soon
send delegates to that body.
There are number of trades in
Montesano that are at present unor-
ganized which may soon follow in the
footsteps of the carpenters. The first
one probably will be the painters. The
carpenters have secured hall for
meeting purposes which can be made

COUNCIL CONSIDERS
NEW SAFETY SIGNAL

At the session of the city council
Wednesday evening, Councilman Nc
Clellan proposed that warning signals
with red lights be placed on the
bridge approaches. Because of heavy
fog or mist, the signal lights on the
gates of the bridges at the present
time are almost invisible and signal
devices advocated by Councilman Nc
Clellan would offer added protection.
This signal device is now in general
use at railroad crossings and other
places. A number of lives have been
lost by drowning because of made
quate signal devices.
The milk ordinance was again
brought before the council and Mayor
Bailey named Councilman Watson to
act with a county committee in draft
ing an ordinance which is to cover
the principal cities of the county. The
milk ordinance has been considered a
number of times during the past two
years, the main stumbling block which
has stopped its adoption has been
the tuberculin test in milk examina-
tion.
A contract between the city of
Aberdeen and F. A. Keasal of Ia

$3.50. Councilman Phillips, who rep
resents the First Ward in which the
sidewalks will be laid, has worked
hard to have this improvement made
and after Advertising for bids several
times without receiving bids for the
work finally brought the matter TO a
satisfactory conclusion with the
awarding of the contract Wednesday
evening.

Part of Tract In orange Groves and
Grape Fruit Which Insures an
Immediate Return.

In the spring of 1928 a special cir
cular letter was issued by the gener-
al executive board Of the United Bro
therhood Of Carpenters and Joiners OF
America calling for referendum vote
on the establishment OF a home for
the aged members of the organization
and the creation Of an old age PEN
sion. A synopsis of discussions and
actions taken on these two important
question for the past twenty years at
the annual conventions was recorded
in the letter. Some idea Of what
could be accomplished by procuring a
tract Of land in the state of Florida as
a site for the home and the possible
revenue that would be derived there
from was also included.
The membership of the carpenters
organization saw the need of such a
home and when the votes were count
ed more than the necessary majority
of votes were in favor of the home.
Soon after the vote was counted
and found in favor of the proposition
many sites were offered the executive
board in different parts of Florida.
Investigate Offerings.
A subcommittee of the board was
sent to Florida to investigate the diff
ferent locations offered, so that the
body might satisfy themselves Just
what location would be best suited for
the home.
After much time spent in investigat-
ing and gathering information as to
the nature of the soil. value Of land

was the best of all submitted, both in

GOVERNOR IN FAVOR
OF PRISON REFORM

Governor Smith Of New York be-
lieves in intelligent treatment of con-
victs. This is shown by his recon-
mendation to the Legislature that rad
ical changes be made in New York's
prison industries, designed to encour-
age prisoners to work by giving them
adequate wages and a share in the
profits.
The governor proposes a sliding
scale based on the earnings of the in
dustry in which the prisoner is en-
ployed. The prisoners record as a
worker would be an important factor
In his release on parole If the plan is
adopted.
"The real trouble" Governor Smith
said in his message, 'lies in the fact
that there is no incentive offered to
the prisoners, and that there is no
business organization to encourage
and direct the enterprise. The real
need is to create such an industrial
organization, to offer a reward to the
prisoners based on their actual ac-
complishments and, most important of
all, to tie up intimately the question
OF the convict's release with the part
he plays in making the industries sue
cessful.''
Governor Smith appreciates that
work under proper conditions can be
made a big help in the rehabilitation
Of prisoners. Forward looking men
and women viii wish him success in
his campaign to reform prison indus
try.

ORGANIZERS REPORT GREAT
STRIDES IN MEMBERSHIP

Shortly after the convention Of
the American Federation of Labor
in Portland, the cry was raised
that the membership was fast fall
ing away, that 1t was only a shad-
ow Of the war strength. Nothing
was further from the truth. While
the officials reported a decrease
of per capita paid to the A. F. Of
L., and slight decline in some of
the affiliated organizations, most
of the organizations had held their
own and some even increased in
membership.
Reports now reaching the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor In Wash
ington from representatives. all
over the United States are to the
effect that new locals are being
formed daily, the unorganized are
flocking to the half-century old
banner which has done much to
promote better wages, shorter
work days, better conditions of
work and a better understanding
between employe and employer.
Both have found that it is advanta-
geous to deal collectively.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
JOINS IN CHILD LABOR FIGHT

The New Jersey State Fedora
tion of Labor and the State Cham
Der of Commerce have Joined hands
in an attack on child labor. Both
organizations favor triple compen-
sation upon employers who en-
ploy children under the age limit.
The penalties are intended to
apply where the children are in
jured. Under the present law
when an Illegally employed child is
injured the employer is only fined
for violation of the child labor
law.
Both employer and employe also
favor law which would include
occupational diseases among those
entitled to compensation under the
state law.
1t seems that the cooperative
spirit" of which we have been
boasting in this state is spreading.
The employe and employer are both
awakening to the benefits OF CO.
operating with one another.

 buy seed for Il new crop. will re- cciNe Christmas dividends repFe-
 scnting a 90 per cent profit, it was
 announced today by Harry sharp, secretary of the association. Before final settlement of the pool. another dividend which may amount to 10 per cent, may be declared, Sharp announced.
 All of the $100,00O raised by the
 association in buying seed was re- turned about three months ago

 the largest crops in history-and had received good price. Boards of trade and business men
 of the middle west furnished the money.
 Farmers aided gave the sssocia ton one-ffth of their crop where , the yield was five bushels to the acre or more.
