MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Dec. 21.-
The Tashkent wireless station today
succeeded in establishing connection,
after a two day interruption, with
the governmental wireless station
at Kabul. British reports that in
surgent tribesmen captured Kabul
are untrue.
On December II bitter fighting
took place between governmental
troops and the insurgent tribesmen,
outside Kabul, in order to dislodge
tribesmen from their positions on
the hills. achievements are ar
irving. Government forces are
Smelling and bombing enemy posi-
tons. The power station at Kabul
was damaged by the tribesmen,
leaving the city without electric
lights. A British military airplane
flying over Kabul was shot down
Other airplanes followed and dropped
leaflets threatening reprisals in case
British subjects were injured. The
Afghans are indignant.
All circumstances point to British
organization causing this insurrec-
ton. These insurgent tribesmen de-
mand the abolition of all reforms
and the abdication of Amanulla.
The rebels around Djellalakad had
trained sappers with them. The Is
vestia sums up this situation,
enumerating all proofs and openly
accuses the British of instigating
and supporting the uprising in order
to form a reactionary buffer state
against the Soviet Union in place
of the progressive Islamite state
under Amanulla.

loving trades: Bakers, hemstitch-

The delegates pledged themselves
to carry out the program to organ
ize W. I. R. Shop Committees in all
shops and factories and to initiate
the plan of weekly ten-cent contribu-
tons by the workers to create a
general relief fund. Through these
weekly contributions the w. I. R.
will build up reserve treasury in
preparation for future struggles. In
the Sally Hat Shop, through the in
itiative Ct one of the workers, this
plan has already been carried out
and $3.50 was turned in by Sylvia
Heller for the past two weeks col
lection. Women's Council 5 of Coney
Island also contributed IS.
An executive committee of so shop
delegates was elected to carry out
this industrial work as part of the
Noad plan for building mass or
Pnization for W. /. R. The dele
bites to the conference showed en-
Ausiasm for the plan of developing
one centralized and permanent re-
lief organization. The shop dele
gates adopted a resolution to this
effect and also endorsed the state
ment of the All-America Anti-Im-
perialist League calling for solidar-
ity with the Colombia fruit strik-
ers. A collection of SIS was taken
for the Colombia strikers and in
addition the delegates received col
lection lists to solicit contributions
among the workers in the shops for
the Colombian struggle as an ex-
preston of solidarity with the OPP
pressed and exploited workers suf-'
fering under the lash of U. S. i'm
peria.ism in Latin America.
The Shop Delegate Conference for
workers relief laid the basis in the
leading industries of New York for
work in the immediate future in
connection with the struggle of the
needle trades workers which looms
f,ead.

Hoover as he walked down the gang
way from the Utah. Edwin v. Nor
gan, American. ambassador to Brazil,
was with the president-elect, having
rushed out by launch to the Utah
as soon as it dropped anchor.
After the official greeting at the
docks, the Hoover party was escorted
by cavalry at the head of parade.
Fifty automobiles followed in line.
Guns Menace Crowds.
AS the procession led by the two
presidents passed up the main
streets of the city to the palace set
aside for Hoover, the muttering
crowds were kept back by solid lines
of soldiers, standing with fixed bayo-
nets. The procession passed swiftly,
III autos, and as it went by each of
the modern office buildings, govern
ment clerks sent there for the pur-
pose. dutifully dumped out baskets
and bales of scrap paper, in imita-
ton of the New York welcome to
distinguished visitors.
Cavalry and machine guns were
massed in the squares; troops of
mounted police were stationed at
each street corner. Never before has
such a display of armed strength
been made in this capital, not even
in time of war or civil strike. The
purpose was not only to impress the
U. S. President-elect, but to prevent
working class acts against the agent
Of Wall Street imperialism that
might interfere with the diplomatic
negotiations starting tomorrow.
Now the Swindle Starts.
Hoover will address the Brazilian
congress, banquet at the presidential
palace, and motor about the city. He
is expected to leave for Florida on
the Utah Monday. where the luxuri-
Gus mansion of J. C. Penny, chain
store magnate, at Belle Island,
Florida, was been set aside for his
pre-inaugurational conferences. The
estate includes an 85-foot motorized
house boat, and a 35-foot fishing
boat, on which the more secret bar
gains can be consummated, at sea,
away from evesdroppers.

ROME. Dec. 21.--Fascist officials
may be deeply in debt to Mr.. Nor
gan of Wall St., who financed the
march on Rome" but when it is a
question of markets, they are not
willing to let Wall Street have
everything to say. The newspaper
Popolo Diroma asks editorially what
the Italian government is going to
do to combat American competition
in South and Central America. The
occasion of the editorial was the
news of Hoover's trip. The paper,
which can print nothing without
government consent. and therefore
speaks always for fascism, remarks
that all the rising generation of
Italians should be forced to learn
Spanish, to go into the South Amer
ican field

A MOTHER Memorial Day sw

A MOTHER Memorial Day swings
into the line of march as time
slips by, and as this number goes
to press, floral tributes are placed
on the grave of every American
soldier. It matters not whether
the Yankee lad gave his life on
the field of honor or died in some
obscure hospital without ever
knowing the thrill of battle. 1t
matters not whether he served in
a combat division in front or In a
supply division in the rear. 1t mat
tiers not whether he died just after
the war in which he served or
twenty years later. The point is
that he served his country, and
his resting place shall be decorat-
ed with flowers, because flowers
express sentiment that cannot
be expressed in words. A single
blossom is more simple, more elo-
quent and more sincere than any
quent and more sincere than hny
human speech.
81 are fast thinning and growing
more feeble with each passing
year, and soon we shall hear onl.
the echo of their final march. But
their heroism lives in our memoir.
and when we are gone it will liv'
in stone to remind future genera
tions of what our nation cost il
days gone by.
The Unknown Soldier, restin,
so peacefully and imposingly il
Arlington, gives a new religion t.
every one who visits our nationa
shrine. That mysterious lad VIII
lies there in the dignity of deaf,
receives daily tribute from some
one and hardly day passes bu
some mother thinks that perhap
, he belongs to her.

A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE

\
yYTORK for and with your home
+" town.. Beautify it. Improve it.
Make it attractive. Help make 1t
the kind of a town that you really
want, to live in.
The best advertisement of your
business is the town you live IN il
it's the kind of a town it should
be.
Towns get the regulations as
well as men. Repetition makes
reputation. Make your towns rep
utation one that will attract favor
able attention. 1t will thus draw
people and where people come
there is prosperity.
Help rid Kennewick of eye
sores. Clean up vacant Lots and
plant them in gardens. Make clut-
tered up yards disgrace and an
implanted house a reproach. Gut
the weeds, clean the streets and
fix the sidewalks. Be fair to your
public officials and pay your taxes
without grumbiing so that they
may give the best service possible
back to you.
Make public opinion too hot for
those who knock, refuse to CO.
operate for the general good and
will not help.
Our town should be one where
folks are friendly, where progress
iveness is appreciated, where good
roads make it accessible, where
proper sanitary methods are cons
ducive to healthfulness, where
attractiveness is considered an
asset, where education fits for the
future, where tecreations are
plentiful for all, where govern
ment is efficient and popular,
where living conditions are good,
where the helping hand is extend
ed to the unfortunate, where en-
ployment is plentiful, where in
vestments are sound, where in
tolerance in unknown, and church
spires point the way to Heaven.
That's the kind Of a home town
we want.

YESTERDAY was memorial da.

YESTERDAY was memorial day
= and, while the idea may be old
fashioned and out of date, it
seemed inappropriate to us for
people to observe it merely by
overeating and dancing as many
Kennewick people did. Perhaps it
is useless to wear sad look and
feel mournful on Memorial day,
but how little the world really
cares for those who are gone is
shockingly apparent when a day
specifically set aside in honor OF
the deceased is observed only by
having good time.
