Recommendation:


/. The estimates made in this re-
port are made on the basis of a pre-
liminary field survey and indicate
roughly the amount of money need
ed to install storm and sanitary sew
erage in Charles Town. Therefore, it
is recommended that competent
engineer be retained to draw up
plans and specifications for a COM
prehensive sewerage system.
2. 1t is recommended that a storm
sewer of adequate size, as outlined in
this report, be constructed.
8. 1t is further recommended that
a sanitary sewer, using the storm
sewer as an interceptor, be built to
dispose of the domestic wastes in
Charles Town and to provide partial
treatment of these wastes it is rec
commended that an Imhoff tank of
sufficient size be constructed at or
near the location set forth on the en-
closed print.
Respectfully submitted,

NEW York; Sixty young Russian

on June %. made a full report on the
conference, and outlined the structure
of the new organization. The young

MIL WAUKEE LABOR
TURNS OUT BIC
FOR CHINA AID
Rousing Speeches for
II. S.-China Labor

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. Ain spite of
the fact that the Socialist Party in
this city and the Socialist controlled
Federated Trades Council turned
down invitations for a united front
against the attempts OF the imperial
list powers to enslave China and 70
attack Soviet Russia the mass meet
ing arranged by the Workers Party
and the Trade Union Educational
League was a success.
The speakers were A. Oyergaard,
sub-district organizer Of the Workers
Party, H. Tsengs Chinese student, and
Alex Reid, secretary of the progress
sive miners committee.
The Chinese speaker told the story
Of the struggle of the Chinese people
for national independence and Of the
terrible conditions under which the
workers are forced to work, how chill
dren are forced TO work in the fac
tories at the age of seven and work
IL to IL hours day, how they are
whipped if they dare to rest also of
the exploitation of women who have
to nurse their babies at the same time
they are working.
The Chinese speaker pointed out
that the best friends of China today
in Soviet Russia. He expressed his
appreciation of the first time he was
invited to speak 20 an American au-
dience.
Alex Reid in a very able speech
h0flVnd that np1r he
united internationally will be able to
solve the problems of the Chinese
workers. That the imperialist nations
no matter how beautiful phrases they
use, are only interested in the ex
ploitation of the Chinese masses. They
must seek new markets in order to
be able to hold their own working
class in subsection.
He showed the present moves being
made in Europe for unity Of the trade
union movement in Britain, France
and Belgium
A resolution was unanimously
adopted by the meeting which de-
manded the self determination right
OF the Chinese people, the withdrawal
OF all armed forces and cancellation
Of unequal treaties.
A collection of 1870 was taken to
cover expenses and for Chinese relief
Significant to note. good number of
Chinese and colored workers were in
the audience, as well as a good num-
Der of Milwaukee trade unionists who
refuse to take the words of the Ber-
ger crowd. The meeting was indeed
a real International gathering and a
success from all aspects.

In statement given out to the

the fact that the women working at
the trade have been receiving less pay
and had to work longer hours than
men.
This comedies very we'll with

try harrington for misuse of the

evidence presented by the miners, who
were led by Freeman Thompson and
Duncan Mcdonald, in the presentation
of their testimony. ,..
That harrington did use his Office
for the political advancement Of a

that he received $1,000 for the indor-

The following testimony of one
Peter Smith of Panama, ILL.,, brought
out by Freeman Thompson is very
interesting.
Peter said:
