Value of Dramatics

Do you think dramatics shonld
De taught in school? Well, there
are good arguments both pro and
con. Why have the movies dis
placed the drama? Does the fault
lie in the speaking stage?
Dramatics should be taught in
school to educate our people up
to desire to see good PLAYS. Oar
modern movies are far from the
type Of entertainments we should
see. If person is intimate with
the technique of the art of acting
ne will prfeer to see that very
thing, to have the privilege of crit
icizing it. How we humans love to
criticise and really it is a good
fault too, because do we not try
to overcome in ourselves, the
fault is that irritate us in others I?
One of our most interesting
school boys makes the very true
statement Life itself is a drama
and we need practice and knowl-
edge to better act in this drama"
We do live in our own lives the
little phases we act on the stage.
development in dramatics thaws
US out and makes us more poised
and self-confident. It certainly in
creases our charm and one is so
much more interesting to be with
if he is whole-hearted and his face
expresses his thoughts and emo
tons.
Some students ask "Why study
dramatics when you positively
have no ability in the line ?" Well
It certainly does no one any harm.
We study algebra and geometry
and certainly sometimes we del not
display great talent.
Perhaps sometimes years hence
Kills. will have class in dra-
matics and notice how much more
charming the Kennewickites are.

Milton Freewater's team is the

OUR OWN PEOPLE sz.a
By Ruth Stout

hat makes more locals and every
ocal has five votes, no matter how
lev or how many members. We have
$4,000 members, and some of the
locals have less than 500, and still
they get five votes. And our dues
pay their bills-but through the I'M
ion, and so the union controls their
votes, because if it didn't pay their
bills, they couldn't live.
" A MOTHER thing is that they want
- ed to raise our dues from 35
cents to so gents. The membership
won't pay the fifty cents because
they feel that nothing. will be done
with the so cents just as nothing is
done for the 35 cents. And two weeks
before they raised the dues they rails
ed the salaries of the business agents,
managers, mad general managers, from
IS to SIS week more. That amounted
to $4,000 a year. What does this
mean? They raise themselves, and
we are not making half what they
were making before they raised them
selves. What do they care? They
have 55 votes and we have Is in the
Joint Board.
$50 we have three differences. First,
we want our own people to do the
organization work They should not
give over our demands to Governors
Commissions, who may be nice people
but will not know anything about our
questions for the men and women
who work in the industry. We feel
they cannot do it because they do not
understand our trade, and what we
should do is to organize workers from
the open shops and take the workers
and come to employers and see that
we get things just and fair.
Our second difference is that we
want all dress locals to be one. in
stead of fake waist and skirt shops
with separate locals, paying big sal
aries to business agents and manag-
ers and general managers shall have
bigger salaries.
BECAUSE Of these differences they
went, and instead Of giving an
swers to these just claims that we
have, instead Of meeting II and finding
a way Of settling it, they declared
everyone Communists in order to
cloud the issue, because they only
have to say that we are Communists
and everybody win be afraid Of us, be-
cause they infer a Communist fs not
a human being.
"And before they give US a chance
know that they have any charges ON
us, day before they sent us Of
fetal notice that we are under charge
they broke in, in the middle of the
night at two O'Clock, they broke in
to two locals, 2 and 8, and took the
office by force. And that is why we
watch here day and night, so they
can't do the same thing to u.s."

I hire gangsters to do their work, and
he only thing the gangsters do ia
develop their muscles. Our people
refused to go with these people to
picket lines.
" A T the last campaign in January
"A and February we made an at.
tempt,-we, the so-called Lefts, the
people who want to see the organize
ton again so that the people them
selves do the work-we made an at
tempt to get our own people to do or
ganization work again. If our people
are going to go to the shops and work
and picket and be told what to do,
they can do their own organization
work.
"In January and February the Or
ganization Committee had 300 people
who were ready to go to shops and
explain to workers to come to the
union. First talk. first explain, and
then if no success, sometimes fight.
but not like gangsters. If you get a
little hurt, you know workers hurt
you,- not gangsters. Since 1919 to
date because of the many disappoint-
ments that workers were suffering
they did not feel like going into the
shop and getting their heads split by
these men.
Now many Of the employers have
turned into dresses instead of waists.
so we are no more a separate indus
try. When the waists were so gIor-
ious there were of course waist locals:
now there is no reason for waists be-
ing separate but the union wants to
keep them separate and I'll tell YOU
why, in a minute. We told the union
this, but they said that there were still
waists, showing that they did not
know what they were doing. I took
Fannia Cohn myself and showed her
that there were almost no more
waists, and she was surprised, and
said to her: You do not know what
is going on in the industry; you are
living in the past
"NINCE the waists are not there the
- same thing is true about the
skirt. and yet they are still having
that local, and the manager getting
300 a week, and very few members.
and their expenses about three or
four hundred dollars week, because
the manager will not go to the shops
and SO they must have a business
agent and a secretary. And they are
making dresses in the same shous.
the skirts are no more there. And
tney work fourteen hours more a week
Tor the same work, and that is what
call legal scabbing with the consent
OF the union, which is a crime. There
must not be two locals in the same
trade; it is their own constitution
and we have to demand that they live
up to it. ~
Local 2 sent out to Chicago two
weeks before the expulsion to demand
lnat they give us the dress sbops
whlcn belong to our local, according

Territory have been very good during the biennium and have been effected with a minimum amount of friction With the exception of amounts involv- ed in the contested schedules above referred to, unusually complete collec- tions were made from the fishing con- cerns for the year 1923. Some very good recoveries from insolvencies caused by the poor fishing years of 1920 and 1921 were also made during the biennium"
 The fur tax law, it was added, was not entirely successful and resulted in more or less complaint. Tn the lack of any control over shipments from the Territory, the framing of an effective fur tax law is a matter of much difficulty"
 Receipts from fishermen's license for the biennium, it was stated, to- tailed approximately $40,000. The re- port reviews the law and it's operation to limited extent and finds that: "All in all, it can be said that the Act of 1923 imposing a license tax on fisher men is most unsatisfactory measure and it's early revision is respectfully requested, revision sufficient early to be made effective for the year 1925"
 The impossibilities of the law were early recognized, said the report. It's enforcement principally as a revenue measure was attempted. One extra tax collection clerk was employed for this purpose. The greater part of the proceeds of the license sched- ule was obtained by fisheries com panies because of penalties imposed for dealing with nonresident fisher men. Little of it came from individ- uals employed as fishermen.
 Except for small deficits in the funds for payments of bounties on eagles and wolves, no deficiencies were incurred during the biennium. On the other hand several appropria- tions not exhausted showed balances which reverted to the General Fund. For the year 1923 revesions amount ed to $67,453.95, the report showed and MT. Smith added: Expenditures for the current appropriation period are not as yet complete, but it can be seen that substantial amounts un- dr many of the appropriations will not be used and also revert"

 Kennedy ruled that M. T. Everhart, the banker-rancher of Pueblo, must testify concerning deposit of Liberty Bonds he is said to have in behalf of Secretary Fall. Everhart is Falls son-in-law, and had pleaded self-in- crimination, but the court ruled that he was trying to shield third party.
