POSSESSION

There's plain little white house / see every day,
II is built in queer most irregular way;
It's windows are wide, and its doorways are low,
And it's whole architecture was never for show;
1t stands by the road, where the troleys pass by,
To me, it's attractive cannot tell why.
Unless it's because it is somebody's home,-
The back yard grass-plot, where tiny feet roam;
And on the side porch on many-hued mat,
l see doll cudded beside a black cat.
A sandpile shovel where Childhood may play
0, rich little plain house, pass every day.

INCOMING FREIGHT RATE
REDUCED BY milwaukee

Local Agent r. r. Woods of the
Milwaukee has received official notice
from the traffic department of the
road that new rate effective March
IL, has been made on goods and
shipped into White
Bluffs from Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma
and other points, equal to the rate
charged by the NJ P. on goods
shipped to Kennewick. This will be
a substantial reduction over the old
rate charged and is the direct result
Of conference between railroad
and business men in White
Bluffs held here during the last
visit few weeks ago of the officials.
Under the old rate local merchants
were operating under handicap in
competition with nearby towns and
to meet this in part had been having
a good deal of their merchandise
shipped to Kennewick and Yakima
and hauled. here by. truck. F. j..
Bonn of the Merchantile store who
took til, initiative in the effort to
get the reduced rate says that it will
to quite a saving which will
be passed on in a large measure to

TO GIVE PLAY MARCH 9

Remember the Girl Reserve play
the night of March 9th at the high
school auditorium.
Gym and Jerry is a clever little
comedy about a girl who hates all
this "clap-strap" about health, altho
she is "getting sort of marshmal-
lowy," and is in danger of losing
her good looks, to say nothing of
her disposition. Her arraignm!ent be-
fore health court where her feet,
stomach, posture and weight testify
violently against her, gives occasion
for number of entertaining songs,
and dances and furnishes some very
funny dialogues.
The girls in the Girl Reserve club
decided to run their Organization with
no dues of any kind so that all the
girls in tie community might be
able to belong to it and no one
would be shut out for; financial rea-
sons. They are working very hard
on this play in the hope that they
will be able to buy materials for their
handicraft work and also pay thu
running expenses of the club, from
the proceeds.

BASEBALL BUG is OUT

In addition to starting a. lot. of
other. things. the warmer spring
days have tnawed out the baseball
bug and on the last stwo Sunday
afternoons there has Been crowd
of prospective players out at the
high school, practising. These
workouts will continue each Sun
day afternoon, in the bop, that
out of the crowd that turns out a
ball club may be organized. The
crying reed seems to be for a
pitcher and catcher. III these two
important positions can be filed,
either from the local talent or by
importing them. there seems, a
good chance at this time that
White Bluffs will have ball team
this year.

COMMUNISTS CAIN

Importance of Gain Is
Stressed by Pravda

MOSCOW, (By MaiD.-The "Prav-
da" points out that the results OF
the municipal elections in Hamburg
represent great political success for
the Communist Party of Germany,
and must be regarded as an extremely
important factor which will influence
the spirit of the thirty million voters
who will go to the parliamentary polls
within the next few months in Ger
many.
"The bourgeoisie and the social
democracy expended great sums ano
carried on an agitation along Amer
lean lines" the Pravda says, but
the Communist Party of Germany
carried on the struggle in a prole-
tartan spirit and paid chief attention
to systematic agitation in the work
ing class quarters and in the large
scale factories. These methods were
successful.
"The ultra-left agency of German
Trotskyism suffered tremendous de-
feat: TAI votes for Trotskyism as
against 114.000 votes for Communism
proved the Righteousness of the hopes
of the ultra-lefts of finding any sym
pathetic response to Trotskyism

SOUTH KINGSTON, R. L, March
9.-The strike in the Peace Dale
Mills Of the NJ. T. Stevens Company,
in progress for over two weeks was
ended yesterday with a victory for
the strikers. The workers returned
to work this morning after a confer
ence was held yesterday in which the
employers agreed to pay the opera
tives time and quarter for all over
time worked over the 48-hour week
limit.
In an attempt to install the So
hour week the employers had resort
ed to the usual trick of announcing
that the extra hours worked would
be paid for extra. The mill work
ers, however, had seen through this
maneuver. They Immediately recog-
nized that the next step of the mill
owners to be taken several weeks later
would be to either refuse to pay for
the overtime, or to make a general
wage reduction that would bring their
income down to where it was while
working the 48-hour week.

INJUNCTION HITS
HOSIERY WORKERS
Milwaukee Judge Is Aid
to Bosses

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 9. -
The expected turn of events has taken
place in the 30-day old strike of the
hosiery workers against the Allen-A
Hosiery Company of Kenosha, Wis
consin. The mill owner has succeeded
in getting Federal Judge F. A. Geig-
er, here today, to sign papers in a
temporary injunction in an effort to
stop the mass picketing demonstra-
tons carried on daily by the strik-
ers.
A deputy u. s. marshal left here
today for Kenosha to serve injunc-
ton papers on y strike leaders.
The company, It is believed, would
have resorted to the injunction
method long before this, if not for
the fact that they had complete con-
fidence in quick breakup of the
strikers ranks. When they were dis
illusioned in this, they resorted to the
hiring of armed thugs and strike
breakers. But the enthusiastic resist
ance o. the strikers, nearly all of
whom are young American-born
workers, made them attempt this
final effort to break the strike.
If the union officials conducting the
strike permit the workers to carry
out the intentions they express, eff
forts will undoubtedly be made to
violate the injunction by continuing
the picket demonstrations.

HAWAII IMPERIAL
PROVINCE OF BIG
U. S. INVESTORS
Cheap Labor Sweats
Out Huge Profits
BY LELAND OLDs,

Hawaii may be land of flowers
and exotic pleasures for millionaire
tourists but it is also province of
the American capitalist empire in
which exploitation of cheap labor pro-
duces a golden flow of dividends.
Twenty-Five Hawaiian companies,
chiefly sugar and pineapple, paid
1927 dividends totaling S17,700,243, a
gain Of nearly 100000 over 1926.
100000 Slaves.
Compared with the great American
trusts the Hawaiian dividends do not
appear startling. But the entire popu-
lation Of Hawaii is under 100000
about equal to the number of work
ers on the U. S. Steel Corporation
payroll in 1926 The cash dividends
of these Hawaiian companies actually
represent about a sixth of the value
of all the products exported from the
islands annually and they provide a
high return on the capital invested
in the enterprises.
Honolulu Consolidated Oil leads
with cash dividends amounting to ST.
834,700, a return Of 308o on the par
value Of the stock. IF we take into
account the 2009o stock dividend of
1922, the stockholders are actually
receiving a 5000 cash dividend. For
1926 it was 81 u % and in 1925, $40.
Since 1920 the owners have received
in cash 1900 on their investment.
Hawaiian Commercial Sugar, with
cash dividends totaling $1,500,000,
rave stockholders a return of 1870.
Bower G. Co. paid its owners $1,120,-
900 or 519t on their investment while
American Factors paid it's stockhold-
ers S1,300,000 or about 229o. Alto
gether IL Hawaiian corporations paid
cash dividends in 1927 of more than
300 on the actual investment.
A study of the boards of directors
of 26 of the 90 Hawaiian companies
reveals extraordinary Capitalization
Of control over the economic life of
the islands. One man, J. r. Gait, is
director of 9 of these companies.
Four others, F. c. Anterior, G. H.
Cooke, c. R. Hemenway and J. Water
house, hold directorships apiece.
The Atherton family holds II direc-
torships in 10 companies and the
Cooke family holds 16 directorships
in IS of these companies. Altogether
this group holds 40 directorships in
l21 of the companies.
Control of the island appears to
radiate from the concerns which
lead the list. Alexander & Baldwin
has % directorships in II of the COM
panies; American Factors has 80 di-
rectorships in Is companies and
Bower & Co. 81 directorships in II
companies. To cap the pyramid, rep
resentatives of Alexander & Baldwin
sit on the boards of both American
Factors and Bower & Co. The con
troll of this group reaches every cor
poration in the journals list including
railroads, utilities and navigation, as
well as sugar, pineapples and oil.
