FEAR SUCCESSES
or PROLETARIAN
ELECTION DRIVE
Unrest Growing Among
Tenant Farmers

TOXIC, March 16-More than l..
900 left wing workers and intellectu-
ais were arrested today in new Sc
RES of raids. New police orders have
been issued forbidding radical or
CARNATIONS from publishing literature
attacking the Tanaka government.
The raids are believed to be direct
result of the large gains made by
lroletarian parties in the recent ma
tional elections. Officials of the gov
eminent have expressed alarm at the
growing influence of the left wing
among workers in large industrial
centers and among the tenant farm
ers. s5ev
The reason given for the arrests
END raids was the widespread distri-
button of handbills which are charged
with involving "lese majesty"
In addition to series of textile
strikes in Osaka, the growth of I'M
rest among the poor peasantry is
viewed with alarm by the Tanaka
government. The. recent voting show
cd that the protest against heavy
rents and taxation has taken defin-
tie political form among the tenant
farmers and the government is en-
ploying every method of checking the
growth of left wing political parties
in rural districts.
+. Today's arrests come on the heels
of series of raids on the headquar-
tiers of left wing parties and trade
Unions. The police took possession of
the offices of the left wing paper,
Musan Shimbun, yesterday.

LONDON (By MaiD.-At the last
session of the International Labor
Office held February l and A, the
British government, contrary to its
promise (Which was given in 1919,
refused to ratify the Washington
convention on the eight-hour working
day. This refusal is another nail in
the coffin of the Amsterdam Inter
national.
The International Labor Office, the
altar of class collaboration, built by
the joint efforts of the Amsterdam
ers and the imperialist powers, is
falling asunder like house of cards.
There was good cause for the lam
ents and cries raised by the pillars
of international reformism, who par
ticipated in the International Labor
Office. Albert Thomas, director of
the International Labor Office, stated
that the LILO. is entering upon a
critical stage of it's existence, and
Muller, leader of the German reform
~, Utterly regretted that the Eng
fish proposal Ito revise in 1921 the
convention on the eight-hour working
day, which is tantamount to decline
of the conven. iony brings to naught
all the efforts made during the past
years for the establishment of "peace-
full relations" between workers and
employers.
This blow at the |. l.. 0. by the
world bourgeoisie signifies that it is
no longer in need of it's lackeys of
the Amsterdam international. The
moor has done his work, the moor
can go. The Amsterdam lackeys
were needed by the bourgeoisie dur

May Arrest Communist
Deputies in Reichstag

BERLIN, Mar. 16.-More than 10
Communist deputies at present in the
Reichstag face arrest on charges OF
treason" when the Reichstag is dis
solved on March 81.
With national election approaching
the government is taking every op-
portunity to halt the left wing. The
recent successes of the Communist
Party in the Hamburg elections are
regarded as indicative of general
swing to the left on the part of the
German working class.

Pill SUDsKI WANTS
GREATER POWERS

WARSAW, March 16. - Premier
Pilsudski made another attempt to in
crease his already dictatorial powers
today when in conference with the
new Diet he declared that he wished
to alter the new constitution in order
to increase the powers of the presi-
dent.
Pilsudski declared that he was par
ticularly DESTROYS of obtaining more
powers in foreign affairs. This is
generally believed to mark new move
in Polish relations with Lithuania,
which remain strained.

.USSR INDUSTRY
GAINS RAPIDLY,
FIGURES REVEAL
Development in Water
Power Conspicuous

The monthly industrial output Of
the Soviet Union is at present 10 per
cent greater than the average for
1913, according to the Economic
Statistics of the Soviet Union" an
eighty-page handbook issued yesterday
by the Amtorg Trading Corporation.
The value of agricultural produc-
ton for 1927, according to this
source, was less than one per cent
below that for 1913.
Practically all industries show in
creases over the pre-war level. Pro-
duction of coal for 1927 was S0,930,-
500 metric tons as compared with
29,055,000 tons for 1918. Production
of rubber shoes was 100000 pairs
Greater than in 1913 and oil produc-
ton showed a gain of more than
100000 tons. It is interesting to
note that production of cigarettes is
now more than one and half that of
1913. Development of new types
Of fuel is reflected in the figures for
production of peat, which was $780,
600 tons for 1927, four times the pre-
war total. In the past five years the
value of the output of large state
industries has increased four-fold
and in the past two years Ga ner
cent.
Produce Machinery.
Russia is shown in the Economic
Statistics to be still deficient in the
production of iron and steel and iron
ore. On the other hand, production
of machinery, and especially of agri-
cultural implements is much greater
than ever before. A great variety
of machinery, electrical apparatus
and chemicals not manufactured in
pre-war Russia is now being pro-
duced on large scale.
Soviet statistics show that the
number of workers employed in large
scale industries exceeds by a small
margin the 1913 figure. While the
length of the working day is now
on the average only 7fa hours, as
compared with 10 in 1913, the num-
Der of working days per year is
greater than prior to the war, as
many czarist holidays are no longer
observed. The real monthly wages
of workers are now about Is per
cent greater than in 1918, aside from
the social insurance benefits which
amount to 80 per cent of the payroll
as against less than one per cent ID
years ago.
A total of 1880 KIN. has been ad-
ded to the Russian railway lines in
operation since the pre-war days and
the length of telegraph lines in
creased by $4,000 KIN. The tonnage
carried is about 20 per cent greater
than in 1913. The number of tele-
phones in the Soviet Union is in
creased by 81 per cent in the past
two years.
One of the most impressive dew
elopments in comparison with pre-
war conditions is shown by power
plant operations. The public utility
plants of the U. S. S. r. produced
in 1927 three times the energy pro-
duced in 1918, nine regional power
stations have been constructed and
over 20 large stations are at present
under construction.
Soviet-American trade for 1927
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-17

amounted to 500, 100000, as COM
pared with $48,OOO,ooO prior to the
war.
Among the items on Soviet econ
omic conditions statistically treated
in the Amtorg handbook, which con-
tains the latest comprehensive sta
tistics on Russia in English, are agri-
culture, industry, foreign and dom
este trade, transportation, commun-
ications, finance, labor, natural re-
sources and patents.

COLUMBIA RIVER

Where the Columbia river venus
its way through mountains ana
valleys, often may be seen drittwood
which people gather as it flows along.
If travellers would only stop and gaze
or give passing thought as to what
yet may be the development now
wonderful may be the valley OF
White Bluffs and Hanford with a
dam built that will eventually be and
to exceed that of Mussel Shoals.
Greater still will be the pressing
demand for land, as people will
gather from far and near to settle
in Our Valley as the opportunities
will be greater. :,
So, to whom it may concern: be
not weary in your efforts to secure
the dam so badly needed. 1t when
driving through the many orchards
YOU may behold that the harvest
time is at hand as fruit will be
gathered, factories of various KINDS
would be built, as the sands here are
very adaptable for glass manutactur-
ing. Yes, even natural gas may DC
found and where that is one may
be sure oil is not far away. Also
artesiart wells, all effectually supplied
with but a very little cost, and
canning factory is one of the most
needed of all, where all of the surplus
could be canned where otherwise II
| i wasted.
So flow on, Columbia, and at night
when the silvery moon is shining
overhead and stars are peeplne
through one can behold the mos
beautiful spot to be seen with the
zephyrs gently tanning the locust
trees. And oft can be heard the bark
of some lonely coyote or Chinese
pheasant may let us know that he is
alive to all of its wonders. Let us
be hopeful, for surely will come a
day when Our Valley will be one OF
the best And then all doubt will be
cleared away.

climbed the 240 steps to the top of
the Dam. On another hike, the girls
climbed Rimrock. This is steep
hill from the top of which one can
see for miles around. They also
hiked to Beaver Dam, which is said
to be one of the best of it's kind in
the state.
The girls studied nature lore and
made book of pressed wild flowers
for the Y. w. C. A. of Yakima.
Miss Lila Kerslake, teacher from
Hawaii, visited the Camp for day
She brought with her two large al

LAY OUT SHORTER ROUTE
Kennevick Courier Reporter

Final arrangements are being made
for the establishment Of new road
from Prosser to Kiona. All the right
of way, with the exception OF one
small piece owned by man in
Montana, has been secured and &C.
corGing to the district offices OF
the state highway department, the
official call for bids on the con-
struction Of the new road will be
made just as soon as the final deed
has been received.
The new road runs from the town
OF Prosser, on the south side OF the
Yakima river, almost in a perfectly
straight line to the end of the present
highway bridge in Kiona. But one
small curve. and that tnt three
degree one will be in the new route,
which will be fifteen miles long. The
present read over the Benton City
Highlands, with it's horseshoe curves
and crooked route. is about nineteen
miles between the two points.
It is expected that the contract
for the grading and gravelling OF
the new road can be started by about
the first of October this year and the
work completed late next summer.
This new route will in addition t.
cutting the distance by four miles
by eliminating the curves, also cut
from the state highway maintenance
funds the upkeep Of the two bridges
across the Yakima river, one IN
Prosser and one between kiona and
Benton city.
According to the district engineers
office there is enough money avail
able at present for the completion
of this work, with a substantial a
mount still unspent. While nothing de
finite has been given out, the office
expects to be called upon to complete
the firal link in this cross country
road by locating a new route iron
Kiona to the end of the concrete
pavement SIX miles west of Kenne
