French RepOrtels Pass Up Even
 Aide To Young

CHERBOURG, France, Sept 12.- Jackie Coogan, diminutive moving pie ture star, held levee all his own for the newspapermen when the Leviathan arrived here today from New York. So marked was the attraction of the youthful movie actor for the reporters that a number of notables on the Le- viathan's passenger list, mong them Henry NJ. Robinson, Los Angeles banker, coming to assist Owen D. Young in working out the Dawes plan, were allowed to leave for Paris with out being subjected to journalistic pres sure.
 Jackie proudly recounted that he had not been seasick during the voyage and told how his seat in the dining saloon had been between the captain and Warren Pershing, son of General Pershing, on his way to school in Eu- rope.

PASADENA, Cal, Sept. 12.-Be- yond control and licking it's way into the best timber of the Sierra Madre mountain range, the forest fire in the San Gabriel canyon district has as sumed startling proportions. "
 Twelve hundred men are now on the fire, line, clearing a break along the east bank of the big Santa Anita can yon, Other breaks have proved futile in stopping the rushing flames. Only a moderation of the strong westerly breeze, which has famed the fire, will make this latest fire break of value, men on the front lines say.
 Foothill towns of Monrovia, Elmon- te, Azusa and Sierra Madre are rush ing volunteers to the imperilled area Federal crews are coming from Los Angeles. A system of concentration camps and Red Cross stations is well organized and functioning efficiently.

 BATTLE HARBOR, Labrador, Sept. 12-We are safely out of the far north, but we probably owe our lives to the staunch timbers of our good ship Bowdoin. All the way up the Labrador and Greenland coasts, during the sum- mer of 1923, we. lodged and bucked the ice. finally choosing winter quar- ters about fifty yards from shore in Refuge Harbor, Smith Sound, near Etah By September seventh we were locked in solid by the ice and the real test of the Bowdoin began.
 The little ship was subjected to a tremendous ice pressure and we feared she would give way, but the special construction of the steel plates below the water line saved her. She creaked and groaned but held her own against the steadily increasing menace of the ice wall around her.
 The most penilous adventure of the voyage came on August first when we saw that possibly our lives depended

Editors Note-The following message from Captain Donald B. MacMillian, the first to be received from the noted ex- plorer since his safe arrival In Labrador this week, gives a brief account of the expedition's escape from the ice that almost wrecked their ship, and but for herioc efforts would have held them prisoners in the far north for another winter. He also tells few of the ex- periences under gone during the long arctic sojourn of fifteen months and some of the deduetonis made from the party's scientific observations.

RULES WITH
IRON HAND IN ITALY

Italy's recent election, with its
Fascist sweep, can hardly be re-
garded as an expression of the will
of the Italian people, as it was held
under an electoral law especially de-
signed to assure victory for the Fas-
cisti party, according to reports
reaching here.
The entire country was declared a
single election district and the Fas-
cisti list had only. to receive one
quarter of the total number of votes
to become entitled to three-fourths of
all the seats.
This is hardly an example of ma
Jority rule, as it is known in the
democratic nations and with the cleo
tion machinery in the hands of the
Fascist, coupled with their well
known brutal intimidation, there
could be little doubt of the result of
the election" Apparently the only
reason the Fascist held the "eIec-
tion" was to give Premier Mussolini
and his dictatorship the outward as
pect of constitutionality.

The conference on unemployment
in 1921 focused the attention of man

the result that industry has been as

The costs Of running industries at
irregular capacities has been recog-
nized as waste.
That industries are beginning to
make use of information that will en-
able them to maintain more even pro-

CONDITION
SERIOUSLY AFFECTS
INDUSTRIAL LABOR
LARGE PER CENT OF FARMERS
ARE BANKRUPT RECENT
REPORT SHOWS
Hundreds of Thousands Leaving
Farms to Become Industrial
Workers
By LYNN J. FRAZIER,

u. ). Senator from North Dakota.
How great a stake does labor have
in the prosperity of the American
farmer? Without any hesitancy
whatever l say, very great indeed. 1t
is so great in fact that it cannot
easily be over estimated To realize
this one has only to recall that the
well-being of Labor depends uuon
the continuing activity and earning
power of the mills, the mines, the
factories, the transportation COM
panies and the building trades.
And what is necessary in order that
these industries be fept eontin ,,ly
and profitable active? A strong and
lively demaro for goods that they
produce or transport. That demand,
let me impress it strongly, must come
in large measure from the farmers.
For of the total purchasing power Of
the country, forty per cent is conf
puted to arise in the farmer group.
Now the farming population of the
country is today and has been Stree
1920 inAa decidedly distressed condi-
tion. It is actually financially
"broke" and in no sort OF condition
to furnish and demand for goods at
all.
Losing Money
During the last four years no
farmers, practically speaking, in any
part of the country have made any
money; on the other hand the vast
majority have individually and col
lectively lost hundreds Of millions of
dollars.
When the collapse of our war in
flation came in 1920, it brought ruin,
actual business, financial and social
ruin to over million farmers. This

CONTINUE POWER CASE
FINAL HEARING MAY I

ABERDEEN, April 25. All evil
dence was entered during the nine
hour superior court session at Mon
tesano yesterday called to determine
the validity of the temporary injunc-
tlon brought against the city of Alb
erdeen to restrain it from buying wa
ter rights on the Wynooche river.
Judge Wilson of Thurston county.
appointed by Governor Louis F. Hart
to hear the case, postponed further
court action until May 7.
The outcome of the Wynooche case
is important in this city as well as
the entire county. Frank o. Dole,
local realtor, brought an Injunction
AGAINST the citv which made it inn
possible to carry out plans adopted
by the city council to buy water
rights on the Wynooche river pre-
paratory to building a $4,000, 900 hy-
droelectric power plant, authorized
by the voters. p
City Attorney A. E. Cross and
Water Superintendent Sam Watkins
and other city officials who are be.
hind the municipal project promise
aboundant cheap power, likely to be
followed by an influx of manufac.
turers and industries of all kinds to
the harbor if the power system is
constructed.
Cross and other city officials dur
ing the past six months have waged
a vigorous fight for the power pro
ject and have met with strong oppo-
sition. Cross declares that the con-
troversy has developed into a grim
battle between municipal and private
ownership.
The court session yesterday was
almost entirely consumed by intro
duction of legal statistics and court
rulings. The attorneys were in
structed by Judge Wilson to pre-
pare arguments to be submitted
when the case is reopened next
month. Attorney Cross and ]. c..
Hogan are representing the city and

SUPPORTS
BONE POWER MEASURE

SEATTLE April 25.-(State Fed
Grafton Bulletin. )@. N. Belanger,
Vice-President of the State Fedora
tion of Labor from the Seattle dis
trict, and chairman of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor's committee appoint
ed to examine the various power bills
being prepared, has submitted its re-
port through Chairman Belanger to
the Federation. 8f
The committees report sets forth
the fact that it was in accord with
the general principles and purposes
of the Erickson bill, but agreed with
other progressives of the state that
its submission should be postponed
until later and more opportune time
b order that the issue might be
made simple and cIean-cut between
the Bone and Reed power bills.
The committees report opposes the
Reed bill and recommends indorse-
-ment and sEpposb of the Bone bin,
which gives to the municipalities the
right to sell their power surplus out
side the corporation limits in compe-
tition with the private power COM
panies free from the burden of the
five per cent tax proposed in the
Reed bill.
The report of the committee will be
sent out to the local unions of the
state at an early date with the recon-
mendation that they lend their sup
port and cooperation to the initiative
campaign for the submission of the
Bone power bill.

REPUBLICAN PARTY
CANNOT AFFORD TO
RECOGNIZE DAWES

Organized labor is going to
prevent the appointment of
Charles G. Dawes to the chair
manship of the Republican Ma
tional convention. His chances of
being nominated for vice presi-
dent on the Republican ticket are
also practically nil. Dawes has
made it known on several oc-
easions that he is not in harmony
with the progressive principles
advocated by the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, and suggested
to the late President Harding
that the Republican Party incor-
porate an "open shop" plank in
its platform. The Republican
party cannot afford to lose the
votes which the labor movement
represents, which it is sure to
lose if Dawes is recognized.
Hell and Maria has committed
suicide politically.

By w. c. MUMAw

Agriculture in the Northwest is
producing surplus. The possibili-
ties of production here are tremen-
dous. Yet we have living west of the
CASCADE mountains less people than
live within a radius of 100 miles of
New York city. It will take years
before we become a great manufac-
turing section. So that we may ex-
pect our agriculture production to in
crease its surplus from year to year
. On the other hand we find that SO
per cent Of the population of .She
United States lies east of the Indiana
state line, with more of the people
living within radius of 100 miles of
New York city than live west of the
Cascade mountains.

divergence from all preceding cycles
lles primarily in its lengthening far
beyond the 44-month period hereto
fore regarded as typical. already we
are 4S nnonths from the beginning of
the last major decline and there are
no signs that a new major decline
will materialize for many months.
"And it is noteworthy that this
drawing out of the prosperity phase
of the cycle is providing the country
with a continuance of high earning
capacity which should to a degree
minimize the effects of whatever de-
preston eventually may follow"
Building figures have advanced in
footage through the winter to levels
considerable above those of the late
summer Ingot production is higher
than ever before in history with the
exception of short period nearly

The business level is shown IN the

ties of 21 items included in the fol-
lowing ten groups:

2. Building: construction.
3. Textiles: cotton and wool.
