WORK IS BEGUN
ON HEALTH CLINIC.
Arlington County Takes First
Steps to Establish Per-
manent Home.
BY LESTER n. INSKEEP,
staff Corresnoudent OF The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, May lin an
effort to have a permanent health clinic
building in Arlington district established
before the hot weather sets in the board
of county supervisors has let contract
to Luther Beauchamp of Arlington, to
move the one-story building recently
purchased for the purpose to the
county-owned lot adjoining 1t. according
to an announcement made today by c.
l.. Kinnier. county directing engineer.
The building was purchased by the
supervisors from Ashton c. Jones. who
is constructing a row of brick store
rooms on Wilson boulevard. The house
is now situated on Iorton avenue and
is on q part of the land that must be
used in the construction of the rear of
the stores.
Construction Plans.
The county will first construct a base
ment and foundation upon which to
place the building and will then, after
it is moved, install a heating system
and remodel the interior SO that it will
be suitable for the purpose for which
1t was acquired.
For many years the Arlington district
health center was conducted in the
building which has been torn down to
make way for the stores and ONCE
building that are now under conStruc-
ton and was forced to seek temporary
quarters on March l. The clinics are
now being held in the Woodrow Wilson
School at Fort Myer Heights.
Service Announced.
According to DR.. P. M. Chichester.
county health officer, the clinic service
will be available to the mothers who
attend it in the mornings instead of
afternoons, beginning June / and last
ing until October l. This is for the
purpose of permitting visits to be made
to the clinics during the cooler part of
the day.
The Cherrydale and Potomac clinics
will be open all day, but the doctor
and dentist will be available only in the
mornings Of the days upon which thev
are scheduled to appear at the different
clinics.

or near Lincoln avenue or by an I'M
derground passage east Of the Baltimore
& Ohio Station, whichever shall be de-
cided upon by the engineers of the va
riouS off1cial organizations interested as
the most practicable from the stand
point Of safety, convenience and present
and prospective use"
w. C. Hopkins, engineer Of the State
Roads Commission, was present at the
meeting for the purpose OF answering
questions, as the State Roads Commits
sion has not yet completed its several
plans for solving the matter. He did
tell the townSpeople that the proposed
overhead crossing could be constructed
for about $4,000 less than the pro-
posed underpasS.
There was some complaint that the
people on the east side of the railroad
tracks might bedamaged by the taking
OF their property for necessary road
widening in connection with the prof.
ect However, this apparently came
from others than the owners, for sew
eral of the property holders there said
that they would be glad to dedicate the
land and would consider that their
property would be all the more valuable
by it.
Edgar Moore said that Connecticut
avenue soon would not be able to carry
the trafic through the town, and he
told those present that he rather favored
the plan of B. H. Warner, jr., for new
road east Of the town as trafiic relief
road.
Believed Best Solution.
Mr.. Warthen again presented his
plan for an overhead bridge, and Ralph
H Chappell said that he believed this
scheme was the best solution. He said
that II the town, county and State
could save $4,000 by the construction
Of an overpass, he thought this should
be given very serious consideration.
When the question was asked as to
whether the people or the State Road
Commission had the final say as to
where the crossing would be located
Mayor Ernest said he believed that
neither the State Commission nor the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission were going to be
influenced by the likes and dislikes of
! the people, although they sincerely
wanted to know how the people felt
about the matter.
| B. H. Warner, jr., said that what
was wanted was to take Kensington
out Of the bottle neck" and offered the
urged cooperation with the State Road
! Commission, adding that body wa
going to give the people the very best
it had. He also pointed out that If any
more traffic was added to Connecticut
avenue, 1t was going to slow up every
thing.
Harry M. Martin said that it was tn,
unanimous opinion of those in Chevy
Chase View that an overhead crossing
was the only solution. r, H. Phillip:
also spoke.

time, Lester convinced Lewis that he,
too, was an officer and was out on
the same mission as that of Lewis.

All are aware of the fate that met
these proposals which were submit

only genuine factor making for

a. The Smoke Screen of Pacifism
In the question of chemical war

respect one particularly notes the
clear division of labor between the
various sections spreading imperi-
alist propaganda. The role of paci-

pie that it is wrong, by appealing
to their sense of decency, to theil
moral outlook, and so on.
In the spring of 1929 there was
held, and quite lot of noise made
about the matter, the first Con
ference of Pacifists to deal with
questions of chemical warfare, the
delegates meeting in Frankfurt-on
the-Main. The pacifists promised
to give replies to such by no means
unimportant questions as: the role
of the chemical industry in the com
ing war, the nature of gas war
fare, measures for preventing war
etc. Yet to all these questions the
fussy pacifist conference in Frank
fort gave no answer at all. boz

to the motive behind the movement
and the personnel engaged in it.
There can be no legitimate objection
to the organization of workers any
more than there can be to the or
ganization of employers. But If
Communistically guided, such a
movement can not escape being sin
lister and vicious"
Here is another editorial from the
Charlotte Observer for July 49,:

reactionary bureaucrats who have
a history of treachery. The mill
owners begin to see how useful a
company union can be in a situation
like this, to placate the workers in
revolt against the stretch-out sys-
tenn.
Following the lead of the New
York Times, which ran an editorial
on July 10Th, Labor in the South
the southern press is becoming more
discriminating in it's denunciation.
The Times points out to the south
ern mill owners, southern politicians
and the southern press that the
A. F. of L. is moderate" That

ing" The Times warns southern
mill owners against running such
reasonable, non-Bolshevik, moderate
labor takers out of town. So many
southern papers have fallen in line.
They are now attacking the N. T. w.
and assuming conciliatory tone
toward the U. T. w. "If we must
have union, let it be one whose
leaders can be bought off," For
instance, this from the Charlotte
News for July 18:
"The purpose of he A. F. L. is to

acter of the American Federation Of
Labor.
The situation here in the South
affords the 7. U. E. L. one of the
greatest opportunities in it's history.
The National Textile Workers Union
has prospects for rapid growth here
that are found in no other part Of
the United States to quite such a
tremendous extent. The mill
workers are awakening to the full
meaning Of the class struggle:
masses of highly exploited, un-
skilled and semi-skilled underpaid
wage-slaves ready to rcvolt-wait-
ing for leadership!
Carolina justice is capitalist ius-
tice. The southern press ia the
capitalist press. This first lesson in
the class struggle the workers Of
Gastonia and Of a large section of
the south have learned. They are
rapidly Tearing that the u. T. w.
like other A. F. Of L. unions, is !
company union, a union which
serves, not the workers, but the
capitalist class.
In the i. U. E. L. Convention in
Cleveland, this situation deserves
first place upon the agenda. Here
is our opportunity to carry out in
action, the Address Of the Comm
tern. y
