RADIO eRoPEs FOR
MESSAGE FROM MARS

San Francisco planet Mars,
has now taken the lead over radio,
moonshlne, baseball and politics as q
topic OF conversation among layment
on the Pacific coast.
This was due to the assertions Of
astronomers that our nearest planet
airy nelghbor had arrived at point
nearer to the earth than he has been
for more than 100 years. or mere
s4.0O000O miles away. This is 14,OO0.-
600 miles nearer than his usual dis
tance.
Elsewhere the radio. with its greedy
antennae, Is CROPPING In the ether for
anything audible the sphere might
by some chance cast off. While the
more credulous and romantic are hope
mi Of some sign that may serve TO
link the earth a little closer to the
solar brotherhood. the skeptical scien-
lists In the mountain observatorles ex-
pect no such thing to happen. The
most they hope for. they said, was q
little knowledge with respect TO the |
atmospheric and climatic conditions on
Mars.

been unfair for about two years, and
it is with pleasure that the Culinary
Workers inform the public that COM
plete harmony again exists beween
the management and the union.
Pete's Place was placed on the

months ago. After operating with
non-union help the management de-
cided that it was more profitable to
employ members of the Culinary
Workers organization.
Every catering establishment now
displays the union card in the city of
Olympia, and the employees are 100
per cent union, which is a record that
the city can indeed be proud Of

In these cities industrial strife has
now been reduced to a very low min
imum. Union wages and union cOndi-
lions prevail in practically every line
of employment, and is accepted as q
proper and just standard that should
prevail. All these cities are jubilant
over the results and all are agreed
that any return to the old conditions
of suspicion and antagonism would be
a mistake. Visitors from the outside to
the carpenters convention held in
Centralia were amazed and deeply
gratified at the whole hearted recep-
tion accorded them by the business
elements of the city, and particularly
at the eloquent tribute paid to labor
by the secretary Of the Centralia

activities Of the labor body. Secre-
tary Durham of the Trades Council,
who introduced Mr.. Rose, president

him to be one of the best friends labor
ever had in Olympia. Mr.. Rose, In re-

The dinner staged by the Kiwanis

bers Of labor and leading business
men of the community were equally
strong in their laudation Of the spirit
of good fellowship that now existed in
the community and the beneficial re-

hope that similar program would be
