IS PROGRESSING

More than 5000 feet of gas mains
have been laid in FL Centre within
the last few weeks in preparation
by the Inland Empire Gas company
to supply the city with gas. Laun-
dries, dairies and other business
places in the citv will be supplied
with the fuel within the next two
weeks it was announced this morn
ing and the homes will be taken
care of as soon as possible there
after.
"We are installing the present
mains, as test mains and these will
be used to supply numerous indus
trial places about the city, j. w.
Bucklen, manager of the company,
said this morning. " As soon as we
are assured of steady run of gas
we will begin placing it in the
homes.
81 do not wish to make any di,
rect statement as to the exact day
we will be able to furnish the
homes. The industrial mains should
be carrying gas within the next
two weeks and we are working as
rapidly as possible to be able TO
furnish the homes as soon as the
tests show that we are being fed a
steady supply of gas
The gas company will not cut any
of the street pavements in laying its
mains. 1t has mains at present 10,
Gated in Third, Fourth and Euclid
streets. The gas will be piped into
the homes through the alleys, doing
away with the necessity of tearing
up street pavements to lay the
mains.

ed by two new motor trains, max
ing connections with No. II at

600 Scotch Miners
March TO Protest
Increasing Misery

GLASGOW, Nov. %. By MaiD.-
Although there were only six days in
which to organize the march of Lam
AYRSHIRE miners to Glasgow, the re-
suit was a tremendous success.
Contingents from all over Lanark-
shire--from Carluke, Shots, Lesma-
h gov, Stonehouse, Motherwell,
Blantyre, Burbank, Bellshill, Udd-
ingston, Coatbridge, Hamilton, Cam
buslang, and intermediate villages
met at Hamilton over 600 strong.
Banners and improvised streamers,
with slogans such as Down with the
Baldwin Government lent color to
the marching battalion and advertised
its purpose.
Workers Cheer
Most of the demonstrators turned
out in pit clothes complete with
lamps, and were marshalled by picked
comrades in platoons. The long
march from Hamilton was made
lighter by the singing of revolution
airy songs.
The streets of the city were lined
with crowds attracted by this unusual
spectacle, and at various points
cheers for the marchers were raised.
Large numbers of Glasgow workers
accompanied the demonstration and
swelled the size Of the procession.

ManIapit Will Face
QueZon al Filipino
Meet; Delays Tour

LOS ANGELES, Dec 6. - In or
der to participate in the annual con-
vention of the Philippine Federation
of America which opens this week at
the Philharmonic Auditorium here,
Pablo Manlapit has postponed his
coast-to-coast speaking tour for one
month. Arrangements for the post
ponement have been made by tele-
graph with the All-Amer;ca Anti I'M
perialist League. The League has
wired all cities where dates had been
definitely scheduled and has received
replies agreeing to the postponement.
Manlapit had already begun his
tour when he learned that Senators
Quezon and Osmena, who have been
in Washington comforting with Pres.
iGent Coolidge, would be presout at
TIE convention.
Wires Quezon.
AS an advocate of a more militant
policy for the Philippine independence
movement he addressed a commune
cation to Mr.. Quezon = recognized
leader of the opportunistic Nationalist
Party in the Philippine Islands, -
pointing out that no confidence could
be had in ''the great politicians here
in America who greet you with a
hypocritical sympathy with our ma
tional aspirations but down at the
very bottom of their hearts Imperial
ism and demagogy are deeply i'm
planted"
1t is expected that Manlapits is
anxious to face Quezon and the still
more opportunistic Osmena at the con-
vention Of the Philippine Federation
Of America and there put the issue of
revolutionary program for the Fill
pino nationalists squarely before the
delegates.
Filipino organizations thruout the
United States will be represented at
the convention of the federation.
