Lewis Machine in
Mild Panic Over
Union Referendum
fContinued from PAGE 1l

cuse the Lewis tellers Of making any
mistakes in counting the votes in
favor of the radicals. In fact, it is
we'll founded belief in labor circles
that the reactionaries never allow
themselves to be defeated in an cleo
ton as long as they are able to count
the votes.
Yet Voyzey polled almost half as
many votes as Lewis and Staples re-
ceived more than half as many as his
opponent, Phil. Murray. The vote for
Green shows that he is the most
popular member of the Lewis ma
chine while his opponent, Joseph
Nearing, was less known than the
other progressives.
It's a Gloomy outIookI
An official of the typographical
Union, in a conversation with leader
Of the Carpenters Union, commented
on the growing menace Of the progress
sive movement to what he termed the
'bonafde leadership of the trade
union movement" but he expressed no
hope that anything could be done to
stop it, admitting that explosions were
futile in view of the tactics of the
Trade Union Educational League.
which is the leader Of the left wing
fight in the entire trade union field.
They make more trouble for us fight
ing to get back again, than they make
on the inside" he declared. The more
explosions, the more trouble, said this
official, and the carpenters lieutenant
with whom he was conversing, nodded
his head.
Lewis is said to have expressed
fear that the morale of the progressive
will be so strengthened by this vote
that they might push for the special
convention to give Howat and other
miners leaders a square deal and a
fair trial. 1t is reported that the neces-
sary five districts have already voted
for special convention.
That the vote for the progressive
candidates was thinking vote is
shown from the following titles of the
Progressive Miners election program:
Naturalization of coal mines; shorter
work day and week; unemployment:
alliance between miners and railroad
workers; Dawes international open
shop" plan; International afiliation;
amalgamatio~; Independent political
action; for class struggle against class
collaboration; special convention to
give Howat and other Kansas miners
fair trial; organize the unorganized;
national agreements only; direct elec-
ton Of organizers; secession and dual
unionism; Lewis violates miners pol.
icies; recognition of Soviet Russia.

CONGRESSMAN HOUSTON ON JOB
Is Rapidly Becoming Acquainted and
Laying Plans to Aid Delaware

Laying Plans to Aid Delaware
Few new members of the House of
Representatives have started their
terms as thoroughly as Congressman
Robert G. Houston, of Georgetown,
Delaware. Mr.. Houston has already
made it a rule to call on and person
ally become acquainted with the var
ious heads of Government depart
ments and bureau chiefs, in order to
transact business for his constituents
as speedily as possible. This is also
a rule of Senator DUPONT, who has
known many of the Cabinet members
and department heads for years.
Senator dupont and Congressman
Houston are working in harmony for
the States interest, and Senator du
POnt has taken occasion to present
Mr.. Houston to many of the depart
ment heads personally.
Colonel Houston is obtaining a list
of all organizations in Delaware, such
as Oranges, women's clubs and Cham
bers of Commerce. He has asked the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce to
send him such information as would
be of use to him in looking out for
the interest of city and State.
Another rule Colonel Houston has
adopted is personally to reply to ev-
cry communication received by his Of
flee from residents of his State who
request information or assistance in
Washington. In order to do this he
is keeping his office open during the
recess period, and will be available in
event that any delegation from the
State desires to come to present mat
ters to the Federal departments.
Before the end of the fiscal year he
will check up with the Bureau of
Public Roads, Departments of Agri-
culture, when the Federal allotment
for State-aid roads is made.
Another department which will have
his full cooperation will be the Post
office Department for an opportunity
to bring about improved mail service
in the State.

DOVER CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS
Removal of POstOffice and Extension
of LOOckerman Street One Feature

Removal of POstOffice and Extension |
of LOOckerman Street One Feature
Plans to relieve automobile traffic |
congestion in Dover and at the same |
time provide for large civic improve
ments are being worked out by May |
or J. Wallace Woodford and members |
of council. 1t is quite probable that
the program will come up for consid-
Grafton at the regular monthly meet
ing of council on Monday evening.
The tentative plans provide for the
opening of more streets, the extern
sion of LoOckeman street, the remov-
al of the awnings on LoOckeman
street and the installation of electric
light standards along that thorough
fare.
Application will be made to the
Government officials in Washington to
have the local postOffice removed from
its present site so that LOOckerman
street can be extended East about
two blocks. 1t will be recommended
to the Government that the post office
be located at some point along the
section of Lockerman street which
will be opened after the removed of
the present building.
The removal Of the present post Of
flee building and the extension of
LOockerman street would eliminate a
large amount of the traffic congestion
which now forms at the intersection
of State and LoOckerman streets.
The present post Office building has
Outgrown its usefulness and is made
quate to serve the present day needs.
During the past five years the amount
of business handled at the local post
office has been doubled but no provi-
sion has been made to provide more
space for working quarters.
In order to allow temporary relief
for the present traffic conditions, the
plans call for the opening of the
street between the First National
Bank and the post office for about one
block and the opening of another
street running in a North and South
direction, over the property now own
ed by the town, from this new street
to North street, meeting the latter
street at the Dover base ball park.
This will provide a new entrance to
the town from Little Greek and St
Jones Neck and during the base ball
season will provide relief for the
large amount of traffic to and from
he base ball park.
The plans also include a campaign
for the removal of the awnings or
LOockerman street. Considerable pro
gress has been made in this line dur
ing the past few years and some
members of Council are of the opinion
that some we'll directed efforts woulC
result in the removal of all these OBJ
iectionable features on the town

Following the removal of the avn
