SIGNS POINT FORWARD

NO matter how we try to dodge
IN the issue, it is still there.
Something must be done to the
streets of Kennewick. That a pro-
pressive town like ours should sui
fer with old-fashioned, uncomfort-
able streets means that we do not
entirely deserve the title pro-
gressive." It is not as if we were
too poverty striker to make the
Improvement. Figures collected
show that paving for KenneWlck
avenue and Washington street
can be easily and economically II
nanced.
In addition to improvements on
our main thoroughfares, the side
and cross streets are badly in need
of new surface. o ling can rem
edy this, giving a firm top and a
relief from dust.
Kennewick has always prided
itself upon its up-to-dateness. Inc
recent report from the state audi
tor compliment us on our comblna-
ton of progress and econy. This
is a reputation which we want to
keep. 1t is an invaluable asset to
any city which wants to attract
trade and investment money. The
uroiect to resurface the streets is
In direct line with our progress
economy program.
When we stop to consider that
the paving on Kennewick avenue
was laid when horse and wagon
were the means of transportation
we, can realize why it is that the
street no longer serves it's pur-
pose. Not only it it an annoyance
to residents, but it is red flag
to out-of-town visitors, who ap-
praise our city by its outward
structure.
Let US swallow hard and pre-
pare to loosen up with a few dol
lars; let us forget about the "good
old days" and take a thought fol
the days to come, which must in
evitably be better. Let us build
ourselves new and better streets
for all signs point forward.

BASEBALL AND UNITY

A MOTHER world series flamed
1Abefore our eyes and passed on
into the limbo of things gone by,
but it had its results. For one
thing, it has indicated Connie
Mack, who has chung tenaciously
for 16 years to his hopes for the
title. The $50, 900 purse which goes
to his team as winners means less
to him, we believe, than the thot
that he managed winners.
It has also proved that baseball
is still the national sport. In of
fees, stores, factories and fields
all over this country, men and boys
and perhaps q few curious girls
were thinking and talking about
the two teams that struggled for
the championship. It didn't serious

NEW POWER
SOURCES AIM
OF CAMPAIGN
West Coast Engineers Plan
to Bring A ttention OF State
to Hydroelectric, Natural
Gas Developments

Two oncoming developments OF
natural resources in Washington
are aimed at by the drive which
the Western Washington section
of the American Society Of Civil
Engineers will put on during the
coming year. These two separate
resources give promise Of a phase
of industrial growth in the state.
One is the .hydroelectric power,
based on the vast water power
found in the state. The other is
natural gas, which the Engineers
consider an opportunity for power
ing big industrial center IN Ben
ton county.
In addition, there is hope OF dis
covery of oil bearing strate either
in the Columbia basin or on the
Olympic? peninsula? 1t is under
stood that oil drilling operations,
now under way on the west coast,
will be followed by exploration OF
possible oil fields at Kennewick.
The Columbia basin irrigation
project, and the Priest Rapids pro-
ject, now delayed by lack of infor-
nation, will take on more prom
ising aspect when the army engi-
neers, now making thorough sur
vey of the territory, make their
reports.

HERE TOMORROW

Free Porter

"Free John Porter!" will be one
Of the chief slogans of the Lieb-
knecht memorial demonstration
called by the Young Workers Com
munist) League Of New York for
this Friday evening, at Manhattan
Lyceum, 66 E. 4th st. In the call
sent out to the youth Of New York
in connection with the meeting, the
Young Workers (Communist)
League said:
at is especially fitting that the
demonstration called upon the tenth
anniversary Of the murder of Karl
Liebknecht should be utilized like
wise Nas demonstration for the
freeing of John Porter, textile
strike leader and Communist youth
organizer, now serving long sem
tence at Fort Leavenworth military
prison for his struggle against CAPT.

The story of John Porter, Of his
enlistment in the army and his sub
sequent desertion, his participation
in the textile struggle in New Bed
ford, and many other Of his activi-
ties will be described by well-known
speakers. 1t will also be depicted
in an interesting one-act play pre-
pared especially for the occasion.

many shops are continuing to swell
the ranks of the strikers thruout the

GAS to the misleading statements
regarding the purpose and object Of
our strike made by the employers
and Schlesinger, president of the
company union, to the effect that
there is an existing agreement in
the industry guaranteeing the work
ers the 40-hour week, a living wage
and union conditions, wish to state
that altho the Association, which
has an agreement with the company
union, speaks in the name of the
employers Of the entire industry, it
actually represents no more than
about S per cent of the firms; and
even in these shops the agreement
is a mere scrap Of paper. This
very morning the metropolitan press
carried a statement by Schlesinger
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-07

admitting that the industry has re-
turned to the "padrone" system and
the sweat-shop of before 1910.
ut is well known fact that there
is no regular working day or work
ing week in the dress industry at
present, and that all sorts of hours
are being worked for the most
miserable pay-that the union con-
troll exercised by Schlesinger is not
in the interests of the workers, over
whom he has no influence, and that
the workers do not belong to his
company union, which is a union in
name only.
"The purpose of this strike, there
fore, is very clear. We want to or
ganize the workers into real union,
to re-establish the 40-hour week. to
secure minimum wage scale for
all the workers in the industry. and
to assure the workers the right to
the job after one weeks trial
period"

Aronson, OF the Dress Manufacture
ers' Protective Association, thought
lie was safe in making the estimate
that eff 800 or 400 shops are
stopped, that would constitute good
record in a market that has lest re-
gard for unions"
Bosses Astounded.
Today, Aronson can sing in a diff
ferent key, as the answer to the
strike call has emptied the shops of
far greater number than he es-
timated as the utmost maximum of
the strength of the new and mill
tant union. Already, bosses are ask
ing for settlement, and the Strike
Committee is now completing the
plans for establishing a machinery
whereby these applications will be
taken up.
The Negro dressmakers were
prominent in numbers and by their
militant spirit among the body of
strikers, while thousands of italian
workers of the trade showed by
their enthusiasm for their strike
that they will constitute a tower of
strength in the struggle which has
only begun.
The Tammany police, who arrest
ed IL strikers yesterday for dis
tributing strike calls, and who bru-
tally assaulted the Negro strike
leader, Henry Rosemond, have no
power. to stop the struggle of the
dressmakers which will be carried
on to victory by the mass power of
the workers. Those arrested were
later dismissed at jefferson Market

BRONX PIONEER

I. L. D. Attorney

After being intimidated and brow
beaten mercilessly while her defense
attorney was not permitted to be
present, Uray Fox, 10 years old, a
member of the Young Pioneers, in
hearing Tuesday at Public School
SO, Mace and Paulding AYES, was
told that she would be granted a
diploma that would enable her to
enter high school.
The Young Pioneer had been de-
MED her diploma, despite the fact
that she had received satisfactory
marks in all subjects, because she
had committed the "crime" of refus-
ing to salute the flag, of American
imperialism. The New York district
of the International Labor Defense,
thru its attorney, Jacques Buiten-
kant, at once demanded a hearing
on the case from District Superin-
tendent Chatfield.

In order not to give the young

Tense or to notify the /. L. D. at
torney, a special delivery letter to
appear Tuesday morning was sent
to Try Fox, reaching her at mid
night Monday. She did, however,
manage to notify Buitenkant, who
came to the hearing with her, but
was refused entrance. At the hear
ing the child was terrorized to such
an extent that she inadvertently
made several concessions which
caused the school officials to re-
move their ban on her graduation.
The New York district of the l.
L. D. has also demanded hearing
in the case of Leo Shapiro, also a
pupil at P. S. SO. Shapiro was like
wise refused his diploma because
he distributed the Pioneer bulletin.
Three other pupils of the school
