PLAN TO TURN
WATER OUT SOON
Manager Muldrow Says It's
Hard to Tell Just When
to Make the Cut

MOSS and weed conditions In the
canals of the Columbia Irrigation
District are getting bad again. Chain
ing and cutting operations began a
week ago and will be kept up steadi-
" in order to keep up good service,
as long as possible before turning
out. But there is a steady rise of wa
ter levels thruout the entire fifty
miles of the system and that means
increasing seepage losses and slowly
dwindling deliveries. There is no
way to avoid this. The dragging me-
thods used are the most effective
that experience has been able to de
wise, but they cannot cure the condi-
tion, they merely help out at the
worst places for awhile.
Of course, many of our ranchers
are favorably located on the canals,
at points where they do not feel the
effect of these conditions until long
after those located near the ends of
the laterals. Since their service is
still good, they don't see why it can't
go on Indefinitely.
To decide just how far it pays
to endure shortened supply and the
intermittent service that comes as
the moss thickens is delicate ques-
ton of judgment. 1t is even harder
to decide this several days in adj
vance, as even three or four days
may make remarkable difference
in the service. AS this writer
Thursday morning), it has beer
necessary to make some cuts but
deliveries are still fairly good anc
moss is not giving much trouble ex-
cept on the main lateral from Fin.
ley down. just what conditions will
be next Monday is hard to say. They
may still be. bearable or they may be
very bad in certain sections, in spite
of the steady work of the operating
force.
The manager realizes that short
age is a hardship. He is trying hard
to give the best service possible tc
the district as a whole. Running or
shortened and moss-ridden supply
is also a hardship, just where it pays
to change one for the other is the
problem As already indicated it
must be determined by those places
in the worst locations, for we can't
keep going till those fellows dry up
Meanwhile we will use every effort
to keep up good service as long as
possible. Cooler weather will help
some. The manager will appreciate
calls from the water users, especially
those at Hover, the pipe lines around
Finley, and the end of Lateral No
as to how their service keeps up dur
ing the next week.

Of their proletariau states, in strength

ing their own lives.
N MOTHER factor for the improve
n ment Of the living conditions of
the working men and women are the
so-called pioneer detachments," in
which the children, beginning from
the age of four, obtain proletarian
education, while the working women
themselves take part in the organiza-
ton which looks after the education
of their children. We have also art
and craft schools, in which young
boys and girls are trained into skill
full workers, by individual tuition, so
that they will subsequently graduate
as skilled workers, this we never had
before the October revolution.
THIS is how our Klintzy working
1 women live. We would like to ex-
change correspondence with our com
rades, British women in the textile
industry. The working women of the
textile industry of Klintzy invite you
to visit us and to become acquainted

Our employer was the manufacturer,
Baryshnikov, who had also a cloth
factory employing 1000 workers.
N those days, the only solace Of the
| workers was to get drunk, and
thus drown all their SORROWS. At
present, instead of Baryshnikov, the
factory is managed by worker whom
we elected. He is the manager of the
factory and all the others help him
in his work. He does not work under
compulsion but Of his own free will,
for the more we produce the better
our own position becomes, and not
that of the manufacturer.
XAIE have our own club where the
wv workers find rest and sensible
occupations and amusements after
their daily work. The club has study

WRANGEL's BANDS IN JUGo
SLAVIA.

BELGRADE-It is reported that for
several days Wrangel has been mobil-
izing his forces and preparing for an
offensive against the u. S. S. R. The
Jugo-Slav and Bulgarian governments
are actively aiding in the mobiliza-
ton. Many of the most prominent
figures of czarist Russia coming from
France, Czecho-Slovakia, Bulgaria and
the other countries where they have
been living as refugees, participated
in secret conference held at Zem-
lin (near Belgrade), attended also by
a number of officers of the Jugo-Slav
general staff and former czarist gen.
erals, at which plans were outlined
for an offensive against the U. S. s.
n.
The counter-revolutionari are
speaking openly of their return to
Russia in the near future. They
claim that the Balkans will be the
counter-revolutionary base, and say
the Jugo-Slav army will not take ac-
tive part in the war, at the start, but
will maintain peace in the Balkan
countries"

ExPEL INDIAN COMMUNIST
LEADER.

Paris.-Following on the expulsion
of hundreds of Italian and Spanish
workers who had sought refuge in
France from the savage persecution
directed against them in their own
countries, Comrade M. N. Roy, Indian
representative on the Communist In
ternational has been expelled from
France by the Herriot government.
There are indications that this act
of the ,Herriot government was carried
out at the request of England, which
has reason to fear the organizer of
midas oppressed masses, and has
been pursuing him from country to
country. Great indignation has been
aroused among French Communists
by this latest fascist manifestation.

How Klintzy Women Textile
Workers. Live.

IN one of the newspapers / came
/ across an extract from a report
in the German bourgeois newspaper,
in which was alleged that the women
engaged in the textile industries of
Klintzy had not been getting their
wages for months, that they had been
declaring strikes, and similar non
sense.
1t is, of course, a brazen bourgeois
lie from beginning to end. Here l
merely want to tell our German COM
rades how the women textile workers
live here at Klintzy.
In the first place, we get our wages
regularly twice a month: so per
cent in money on the 7th of each
month, and so per cent in the prod
'ucts purchased on our books at our
''own cooperative store.
NUR workers and peasants gov
~ eminent and our trade Unions
take every care to create the best
possible living conditions for the
workers. Our industry and agricult-
ure are growing and developing day
by day, and with the growth Of our
national economy the life of the work
ers steadily improves. In our own
particular case, we the working
women of Klintzy, have experienced
vast improvement in our living con-
ditions, and this improvement grows
year by year along with the growth
of our industries.
MIGHT mention some of our
l achievements. At each factory
there are creches for our children. On
going to work we leave our children
there (for eight hours), where they
get food, clothing and proper care.
During the last few weeks we also
opened evening classes, which re-
