YAM GROWERS
MAKING PLANS
Call Meeting Next Week of
Growers - Expect Crop
of $50 Tons

1t begins to look as if sweet spuds
were due to become Kennewick's big
crop in the near future. Practically
every farmer in the valley has been
experimenting with small patches
and there will be a fair acreage in
production this year. Nearly every
farmer who planted sweet potatoes
last year has increased the size of
his patch this year, and nearly every
man had fine success with his crop.
Now that it is fairly demonstrated
that this crop can be grown success
fully, remains the big end-market-
ing-to be attended to. Many of the
growers have asked that the Three
Rivers association add sweet pota-
toes to their activities and sell them
thru their distributing agencies. A
meeting of the sweet potato growers
will be held in the Commercial club
rooms Friday night of next week to
see if the growers want to set up a
plan for united selling. Unless suf-
ficient tonnage is obtained to have
some effect upon the markets, the
association will not add this crop to
those already being handled.
Similar meetings will be held in
the up-river country. On Tuesday
night a meeting of the sweet pota-
to growers has been called at Han
ford, and another on Wednesday at
Richland.
1t is thot that $50 to 500 tons
will be raised in this locality this
year.

wages or longer hours.
General Council Supports
The gravest of crises may soon grip
the British isles, as the great body
of organized labor in England is sup
porting the coal miners. The general
council Of the Trade Union Congress
has pledged its full support-which
means more than the empty words
of similar officials in the American
Federation of Labor.
Also, Friday will see conference
of the big Five" unions involving
the greatest forces in the British
movement, including the railwaymen,
transport workers, engineers, miners
and general workers. Last month a
fighting alliance proposed by the
miners was defeated by the yellow So
cialists, and the employers Of all tn,
world crowed over the rejection OF
the reds" by British labor Whether
their Joy is to be short lived or not
may soon be determined.
In any event coal miners strike,
seriously threatening British capital
ism with dire consequences, may come
at the end of July when the differ
ences may turn into strike.

tional question raised by the defense
in his conclusion.
Judge Raulston read his decision,
approximately 5000 words long.
Would Give Legislature Dictatorship.
In answering the defense's charge
that the law violated the fourteenth
amendment Of the federal constitu-
ton, the court held that the legisla-
ture had sufficient authority under it's
police powers not only to prescribe
course of study, but to name the
books used, and that the courts could
not interfere.
He cited the opinion of Justice Nc
Reynolds of the United States SUI
preme court in the Oregon school
case, the same courts ruling on the
Meyer-Nebraska case and on the de-
cision Of the Tennessee state supreme
court in the Leper case, which held
that the legislature could prescribe
certain books in all its schools.
UphoIds Educational Censor.
"In the absence of expressed con-
stitutional provisions" Raulston rul-
ed "the power Ito control schools)
must necessarily reside in the legis-
lature and hence, it has the power
to prescribe course of study as well
as the books to be used"
Then there came the furry Of mo-
lions from defense counsel and the
Judge ordered a recess.

SOVIET UNION
German Reply to Be
Ready Next Friday

BERLIN, Germany, July 15-The
German cabinet, after much disagree.
ment between foreign minister
stresemann and other cabinet mem.
bers, has drafted tentative reply to
the French note on the basis Of a
treaty between Germany and the al,
lies. N
The socialist leaders are reported to
ibe playing their usual role Of serv-
ants of the capitalists, in supporting
the security pact" proposed as a
means whereby the German and Eng
fish capitalists can form an alliance
against the Soviet Union.
Stresemann has disagreed with
Schiele, nationalist minister of the
interior, over the proposed reply.
Schiele demands a note which makes
it clear that Germany will not relin-
quish its demands for more territory
on its eastern frontier. Stresemann
favors a more conciliatory reply.
Stresemann's real purpose is to
break the Rapallo treaty with the So
Wet Union, and join hands with the
anti-Soviet nations, 1t is hoped by
the German capitalists to buy sup
port from the U. S. and English cap
italists by agreeing to oppose the So

when it comes to injunctions against
unions
When the I. L. G. w. was on
strike. Sullivan had the petitions OF
the bosses for injunction. But he be-
came so VIGOROUSLY an Injunction
making machine for the bosses, that
he turned the l. L. G. w. over to
Judge Foell, who promptly issued
anv and all injunctions asked for.
Mass Violation In the offing.
Sullivan and Foell are as close as
Siamese twins on anti-union injunc-
tions. So the strikers can tighten
up their belts and hitch up their
| trousers-the men, Of course-for a
mass violation Of the inevitable order
against certain kinds" OF picketing.
If the present spirit is sustained
and it ought to be-the strikers viii
win against 81 these things. An in
stance Of the fighting blood OF the
pickets occurred when yesterday
morning Mrs. Frank Cicala was ar
rested because she and some other
women decided that the date between
slugger and scab on the corner
was an unlawful assembly so far az
the union was concerned and endeav~
ored to convince them Of It.
Nothing Beats the A. c. w. Strikers.
At the strike meeting, the enthuss
iasm of the strikers was unabateds
even by Manager Levin's speech.
which started out reasonably WE'LL.
but which wandered around and I'M
ally found itself in some talk about
"My country It's of thee" But not
even bum speeches, the hot weather,
the sluggers, the cops or the United
Garment scabs can squelch the strik-
ers and defeat their strike.
The strikers feel assured that not
only the whole Amalgamated and
particularly their New York broth
ers and sisters who are fighting the
same battle a thousand miles away
against the same boss for the same
union, support them, but that the
members of organized labor in gen.
eral, and its most active militants Of
the Trade Union Educational League,
are stirring the labor movement to
an understanding that the fight OF
the A. C. w against the open shop
here is fight in which all must be-
interested, and concerned.
There can be no talk hereafter
about the interests Of the New York
members being Of no concern to the
members in Chicago, nor any attempt
on the part of bosses or anyone else
to divide the workers by shops and
tell each shops workers they should
ignore the interests and conditions OF
those in other shops.
Working Class Unity Leading Issue.
The strikers against the open shop
I. T. c. and j. L. Taylor companies
are getting first class lesson in class
struggle, learning that the interests
of workers and employers are always
opposed, that the interests o. work
ers everywhere and at all times are
their interests and that they should
concern themselves with the we'll
being and the trials of the whole
working class.
Victory Comes Only BY Struggle.
And they are learning that great
fact, sometimes forgotten or neglect
ed by even some union members and
officials, that only by organized mass
struggle against the employing class
can the workers gain better condi-
lions, or even keep what they have
had.

Beamish submitted the following re-

"The committee appointed by your
honorable court to investigate re-

your honor's opinion upon the motion

Scopes respectfully reports: That it
has ascertained that the brief bull
letin to the effect that the decision
would uphold the Indictment was
based upon information which the
sender or the bulletin believed to be
truthful.
"That the sender did not obtain this
information from your honor's steno
grapher, nor in any improper and un-
ethical manner.
I'VE recommend that no good ground
exists for further investigation and
that the sender of the bulletin be not
disturbed in his relations with the
court"
Philip Kinsley, Chicago Tribune, a
member of the committee, did not sign
the report.

know where the information came
FROM" said Judge Raulston.

the information came from the court,
said Beamish, as the crowd laughed.
How? What's that?"
Reporter Used "strategem."

tinued. He then recited a converse

him whether he intended to "usI

Scopes.
Judge Raulston's decision held that
the state of Tennessee was within
its constitutional police powers in
prohibiting the teaching of any theory
OF evolution that denied the biblical
story of the creation of man"
May Spread to Nation.
According to the decision, if up
held in the higher courts, the teach
ing Of scientific facts may be barred
from the educational system of the
state at the will Of those controlling
the legislature.
II has already been announced by
southern politicians backing the anti
evolution law that a national cam
paign will be begun by them next

the federal statutes. A bill is to be
introduced by Representative Will
Taylor republican, Tennessee, or

evolution in the nations public

DR.. Potter was chosen for the cere-

Raulston. The prayer, however, was
again objected to by Scopes counsel
even tho the minister came here to be
a defense witness.
DR.. John R. Neal, of Scopes coun-
sci, voiced the protest and announced
that an exception was taken to the
judges ruling permitting the prayer
He cited an opinion from the supreme
court of the United States, which
read: 1.-THE court will take judicial
notice that religious world is divided

counsel to protest against the con
