LIONS CLUB TO
GET SENTIMENT
ON SCHOOL SITE

The keen interest on the part of
the members of the Lions Club CON
corning the proposed location for the
New High School was well evidenced
by the scope and character of the
discussion during the weekly lunch
con last Thursday.
The Club feels hat In IT'S capacity
ts a civic organization operating for
the general benefit of the community
1t should take a leading part in en-
deavoring to ascertain the public
sentiment with respect to the various
locations which have been proposed.
The information thus developed will
then be submitted to the School
Board for its consideration.
A number of locations are being
seriously considered by persons in
terested in the future of Rawlins.
and the Club has arranged to go out
in a body and make a personal in
spection of these various sites. 1t
has become Increasingly evident
that there is a great deal of dissat-
isfaction over the Blydenburgh pro
perry as a high school site. and the
Lions Club feels that it Il be of
service to the School Board in pre-
senting a fair and impartial report
of its findings.
Mr.. Daley of Rocky Mountain
Motorists Inc, gave the Club an in
teresting and instructive talk con
corning the campaign which his or
ganization is carrying on to popu-
larize the highways of the Rocky
Mountain region, especially the
highways of Wyoming and Colorado,
This organization was perfected to
carry on an extensive advertising
campaign through the Tourist Bur.
eaus of the Eastern states, as well
as to put into practice a universal
system of designating the Rock,
Mountain highways. with a view tc
diverting and diffusing through Wy,
oming and Colorado a fair proper.
ton of tourist travel.
There is no doubt that Wyomine
will be greatly benefited by the worl
which this organization is carrying
on. and it is hoped that it will fint
a liberal support.

OF the structure.
For some time past Mr.. J.. A.
Craise. a prominent geologist. has
been making exhaustive examina-
lions OF this land. He has located n
we'll defined dome and as n result
several prominent financiers have
arranged to finance the drilling of a
test we'll. 1t is probable hat this
test well will be drilled on section
10. Just east of the Country Club
holdings.
Yesterday afternoon the directors
OF the Rawlins Holding Corporation.
and the Rawlins Country Club auth
orized that n lease be entered into
with Mr.. Good whereby section 81

FOSTERS TRIBE OF
 COMMUNISTS ARE
 FORCED INTO OPEN
Discredited and Deserted by Farmers and Labor, the St Paul
 Ticket Collapses.

The camouf1aged Communists-the majority of whom are employees of pri- vate detective agencies paid to dis credit and, if possible, disrupt the or ganized labor movement-have at last been forced out into the open. When the so-ca1led national Farmer Labor party held its convention in St Paul on June Y, Labor of Washington stated that the Communists dominated the gathering and were in control oi the important committees. This statement was vehemently de nied by the leaders of the movement The public was assured that Foster and his 1ieutenants represented an unim- portant minority.
 That Labor was right was again demonstrated on July II when the ex- ecutive committee of the National Farmer-Labor party met in Chicago and accepted the resignations of Dun can Mcdonald of Illinois, and William Bouck of the state of Washington who had been nominated for president and vice-president, respectively, by the St. Paul meeting.

NEW HAVEN SHOP STRIKERS WILL NOT
 CALL OFF STRIKE
Referendum Now Being Taken Over whelmingly in Favor of Con
 tinuing Struggle.

The referendum being taken among
 the striking shopmen of the New Ha- ven road, which started this week, is rapidly nearing completion and from early returns, the shopmen <by over whe1ming majorities are opposed to
 calling off the strike The balloting will not be concluded before tonight, Saturday, and it will probably take sev-
 eral days to make an official canvass
 of the result. Already, however, there
 IS little doubt, according to the officers
 of the unions involved.
 In Hartford where the first returns came from, the vote was at the ratio of about 130 to one against calling off
 the strike. More than $50 votes were cast and out of the lot there wasn't a
 half dozen in favor of dropping the fight. The vote among the New Ha- ven shop crafts also Is overwhelming against ending the struggle after two years ho1dout but because so many ot the New Haven strikers have gone elsewhere and their votes not yet re-
 cieved no figures are yet obtainable. All over the system the officers report the result is the same according to un- official reports. To set an end to reports, said to
 en1anate from the railroad offices, that
 the striking shopmen acknowledged de-
 feat and were calling the strike off, the
 executive committee decided to have an official vote on it and have the rank and file settle the question. The rank
 and file is evidently settling 1t by de- claring for continuance of the strike emphatically.

KHAN CONDUCTOR INCONSISTENCIES
 ON TROLLEY CARS
Branford Line Employe Mixes Up Order Propaganda With His
 Duties, Say Riders.

More complaints of K1an activities among the trolley men of the New Ha- ven division developed this week fol- lowing the report of Klan row be- tween motormen. and a claim agent published in The Labor News last week, but this time they do not involve trolleymen alone but the passengers are the goats now and are being put to lot of annoyance because of them.
 According to reports there Is one certain conductor running on the Branford line, who is SO ardent a K1ansman that he cannot even attend or two for the masked face coterie. He talks 1t from the start of his trip to as near the finish in the city center that he can get away with. it or get he even goes so far as to pass out Klan literature, some of 1t actually scurrilous to such people as he may happen to run up against who will listen to him or even express any de- gree of interest in the movement.
 Several passengers who are stoutly opposed to the Klan have deliberately let the conductor go on and have se- cured not only his personal views of the organization and its aims but a large amount of stuff that only K1ans- men are supposed to have. This mess will be turned over to the trolley com pany officials, it is said, with demand that the conductor be ordered to cease his annoyance of passengers at least.

FALL FAILS TO GET
 HEARING IN SECRET

Fl Paso, Texas, July 26.-When AL bert B. Fall was secretary of the in terior, and a member of the Harding Coolidge cabinets, his every wish was granted, and he was powerful enough to turn over natural resources to pri- vate parties.
 But times have charged, and now he is refused a private preliminary hearing to arrange for his appearance in Washington next October to an swer charges in connection with the leasing of government oil reserves.
 It IS claimed that Fall actually be- lieved the United States commissioner would come to his house to arrange details for his $25,O00 bail bond Friends of Fall had previously con- ferred with the commissioner, who treated Fall as any other accused.
