Motorists Notice

A low fence has been built a
cross the road to prevent motorists
From cutting across our athletic
fields, as they have been in the ha-
bit OF doing. With one or two ex-
ceptions, motorists are using the
regular road to he school build
ing. However, some insist upon
squeezing their cars between the
posts and going across our newly
graded field The regular road
has been leyeled now, why not use
it, and keep our baseball field in
condition. Think it Ger motorists.

SOUTHERN HEIGHTS
Miss Bertha e. SMITH :
49, .


Mrs. Robert Bellazzi Of Seattle
spent Sunday with her sister, Mrs.
james Forrest.
The Stoltenberg family motored
over from Steilacoom for a Sun
day at their summer home.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. II. Berry had as
Sunday guests their older daugh-
ter and family, Mr.. and Mrs.
Montgomery Hughes, and Arthur
and Helen of Tacoma.
Your correspondent had a
most unpleasant surprise Thursday
morning of last week. On coming
in from the chicken house TO find
the shack on fire. A frantic strug-
gle with all available water and a
wet mop almost put the fire out,
but aided by a strong south wind
It gained such Roadway while
more water was being brought
from the well that the neighbors,
running to assist, found nothing
could be done. Their sympathy
though was very sustaining, and
right here please let me thank all
my good friends for their kind
ness and sympathy and for the
very substantial forms their sym
pathy has taken. One never knows
what good friends one has or what
good people there are in the world
until some misfortune comes.
Mines. Shattuck, Beaumont and
Lewis lunched on Tuesday with
Mrs. Jenkins.

money, the last row of figures are a
correct estimate of what the insur-
ance trust premium income will
amount to during the 32-year period
of expectancy.
They Still Collect.
Think of it! With their present
assets disregarding any further pre-
minums, these companies could pay
every claim in full as they matured.
In spite Of the fact that the pres
ent assets are great enough to take
care of all future policy payments in
perpetuity, the "Big -Four" will mulct
the American worker insuring public
to the tune of Forty Billion Dollars.
And yet they tell us with straight
face that "the met premium is that
part of the premium mathematically
necessary to meet the present insur-
ance liability" (Alexander).
1t Is Good Business.
From the above fabulous figures
can be readily seen why buccaneers
like Charles VI. Schwab, Albert H.
Wiggin and their associated comrades
in arms are so eager to serve as
directors of the "Big Four" One can
also understand why the Chase Ma
tional Bank sees to it that many Of
its directors are also on the board Of
directors of the Metropolitan Life. 1t
is quite understandable. 1t is a
profitable business. There are bill
lions of dollars to be invested. These
men are interested in gigantic indus
trial enterprises which require loans
and credit.
But what interest have the 100000
600 workers in continuing a relation
ship with Wall Street high financiers
which results in hundreds of millions
of dollars being taken from them in
overcharges, outright fraud and slick
manipulation? The answer is hard
to find.
Possibly some of our readers who
are also quizz fiends might know.

annual meetings had been regularly
suppressed by rulings Of the chair.
He declared that the sold Guard"
which has controlled the Associated
Press for many years was openly in
opposition to a democratic reorgani-
zation.
i Declaring the issue to be whether
the association should be controlled
by rs or 80 bondholders, Polachek
demanded:
"The right of franchise in the po-
litieal world was once limited to
property ownership. Long ago that
RELIC of aristocracy was abandoned.
Why should the directors of the As
ISOLATED Press be so anxious to con-
tinue such an, undemocratic policy
in an organization that SHOULD
BE the freest and most democratic
in America-the Free Press of Amer
ica?"
Former Governor Henry J. Allen
of Kansas declared that geology has
produced no substance more imper-
vious to outside Influence than mem
bers Of the Associated Press"
Touching on the intelligence of
newspaper men, he mentioned as typ
zeal of a considerable group, those
editors who wanted more news
about the girl who dislocated her
spinal cord dancing the Charleston;
what do we care about the news

day, he will take to the grave with
him the most vital evidence in the
whole case. He has been reprieved
twice and William Thompson, de-
Tense attorney for Sacco and Van
zetti, has requested the third re-
prieve.
Two Refuse Pardon Plea
In the meantime Sacco and Van
zetti, sitting in Dedham Jail, are
offering the most serious objections
to signing any application for par
don. Attorney Thompson is devising
some sort of an application for a
review of their case which will not
carry all the implications of a par
don plea.
Vanzetti has just asked that the
widest publicity be given a state
ment that he was aiming at one ode
Tense" attorney in the infamous
Plymouth trial, for which he is now

statement before Judge Thayer the
day he was sentenced to die in the
electric chair, Vanzetti referred to a
defense attorney who had practically
been a member of the prosecution.
The Three Prosecutors
Fred Moore, Callahan, Hill, the
McAnarney brothers and Thompson
were praised by Vanzetti, who de-
clared that Lawyer Vahey was the
traitor. Vahey is a relative of for

Vahey, Katzmann and Thayer would

New York's Water Front
NeacS and Views Of the Biggest World Port

This is worked in the following
manner: some of the men are sent
below into the hold; here the bananas
are stacked and then two men are
placed on the hatch where the bananas
emerge from the hold. The conveyor
is then lowered at a terrific rate of
speed into the hold endangering the
lives of the men in the hold thru its
speed of descent and the practical un-
awareness of its drop.
Pit of Stomach.
Many is the time that writer has
felt a terrible emptiness about the
pit of the stomach as that heavy net
or weight descended at an almost UNI
believable rate of speed and with alb
solutely very little warning of its ap-
proach so. that escape from it was a
matter Of only a hair breath glance.
When this cargo is raised it is
placed on an electrically driven con-
veyor. This in turn is carried out
TO the men who are waiting for the
cargo outside Of the eonveyor. They
then get this stuff in rotation.
Follow In Turn.
The horror of this system is that
the men must follow in their turn no
matter how weak or tired or sick they
they may be, You got to plug and
plug until you're ready to drop in your
tracks and then there is the ever
haunting fear the forman is around
the dock or watching you while you
are unawares. The minute that you
stop or falter in your work you're
fired, no consideration or regard ever
being extended since practically a
martial rule prevails.

JAP ANESE PANIC
EFFECT FELT ON
STOCK EXCHANGE

The New York Stock Exchange,
speculative center of the continent,
was cautiously feeling its way yes
terday following the sharp break in
stock values the day before. Tens Of
millions of dollars in paper values
we're wiped out in a sudden break
in the market while panieky sales
exceeded 100000.
Fifty leading stocks tumbled for an
average of 1921 as compared with
1898 on October 16, 1926, the last
bad break.
Financiers saw an intimate con-
nection between the depression Of the
Exchange here and the financial
panic in Japan. Recalling that the
Japanese panic of 1920 preceded the
American panic of that year by only
a few months, they have been quiet
" consolidating their position during
the last week. In the past two days
their activities have been revealed by
the sudden outburst of orders to
"sell" with hardly any buying.
Ordinarily it will take at least
three months for the full effect of
the Japanese panic, with its failures
and debt moratorium, to be felt in
American trade and financial circles.
The first flurries, as evidenced on the
Stock Exchange, are the preliminary
shudders of the financial elements.
Although building remains at a
high level, figures for the first quar-
ter Of 1927 show automobile produc-
ton definitely at a much lower level
than last year. March orders are 10
PER cent below last years. Steel
sales, another good barometer, are 8
to % per cent below 1926. New York
state employment is per cent under
last year.
The price level, reflecting in this
case over-production, continues to
sink slowly to the lowest level since
1921. Even coal prices are dropping
steadily, despite the strike. There is
no shortage Of coal, in fact the Coal
Age composite price shows it at $2.11
as against $2.15 the first week of
April.

ASSOCIATED PRESS CONFAB TORN
BY INTERNAL ROW over POLICIES
Bosses of Public Opinion Fight Over Old Guard
Control of Reactionary News Agency

Frank admission that the Asso-
ciated Press does not aim to serve
the rank and file Of workers in its
handling Of news was made by Frank
B. Noyes, president Of the Associated
Press, at the annual meeting which
about thousand newspaper owners
attended at the Waldorf hotel Mon
day and Tuesday.
Answering the declaration Of the
head of a competing news service
that the point Of view of the reporter
is only the point of view of the paper
and that newspapers may be grouped
as having interests with the capital
lists or with the rank and file and
reflecting this in the news columns,
Moves insisted that the association of
which he is president, the members
of which are practically all news
paper owners and dependent upon
national advertising, has "no point
Of view"
The policies of the Associated
Press, generally acknowledged to be
the most reactionary Of the news
services in this country, have re-
suited in distinct dissent" even with
in its own ranks, Noyes admitted.
This dissent" very nearly resulted
in terrific fight on the floor at
the annual meeting and was avoided
only by the railroading through of
a resolution referring the contro-
versy to a committee.
Charges had been made by Victor
H. Polachek, an editor, that attempts

Can't Smoke Out
Cal ON Third Term
Issue, Editor Finds

President Coolidge viii refuse to
read" the letter to be published in
the Forum, national magazine, de-
handing that he signify whether he
is a candidate for reelection.
This information from the presi-
dents secretary at Washington fol-
lowed the dispatch yesterday Of the
letter to him. The president also
declined TO answer 10 questions from
newspaper correspondent relating to
the letter.
Henry Goddard Leach, editor of
"The Forum, declares that the let
ter is friendly and sympathetic in
tone throughout, but minces no words
in emphasizing that the American
tradition is against a third term
Refers to Hoover Rebuff.
The letter also points out that
President Coolidge's silence already
has led to suspicion that he is willing
to accept another nomination, If it
has the force and aspect Of a popular
demand, adding, such were the meth
DDS of Grant in 1880 and Of Roose-
welt in 1912"
"Your support is indispensable to
another mans success" the letter
declares and says "your recent public
rebuff Of Herbert Hoover has been
considered "as rebuke to the indis-
cretions Of those who support your
secretary Of commerce for the presi-
dency."
II declares that former Governor
Lwden is "risking your displeasure
and a rift in the party by building up
support for his candidacy among the
farmers Of the west, but will be pow
erless against your control of the
southern delegations"
Vice President Dawes, whatever
his ambitions" is compelled to main
tain an attitude Of quiescence, the
letter states, and concludes "you have
the power in your party and by
silence you can both punish opposi-
ton TO your leadership and expose 70
iidicule and failure any man VINO
seeks to lead in your default"

Foremen Are Used to
Terrorize Men

The foremen Of the United Fruit
especially picked to terrorize the men
into complete subsection to company
rules and discipline Of the workers in
gangs and it is their duty to drive
them into harder and more systematic
efficiency Of production thru the
means Of nagging, rotation, etc.
These men get a few cents more
an hour for this work. The foremen
however have a good many petty
privileges and raise their social and
working status for the purpose Of
drawing them closer to the company.
This is only one Of the schemes which
Is used to divide the men against
themselves SO that the efforts to
maintain any sort Of union control or
solidarity will be broken up.
There are others as for instance
the stirring up of the old and sneaky
race and color prejudice scheme.
In this way they are able TO get
more production out Of the men be-
cause when there is race or color pre-
JUDGE raised amongst them they will
not be making any efforts at
solidarity against the tyranny Of the
foremen and the bosses.
Then there is the bucket and con-
veyor system Of speed up and In
crease Of driving. BY this method
the company is able TO extract the
last ounce Of weary energy out Of the
men even at the very end Of the
terrible days grind.
