WEST SIDERS
WANT RELIEF
FROM FLOODS
Revive Discussion of Need
for Annexation of
Territory.

Discussion OF the need for annex
alton Of territory along West Wash
ington street from the present cor
poration line west to Lynnhurst
drive has beer revived with the re-
cent rains which flooded Easements
in more than one hundred houses
Residents have talked of annexing
the territory in recent years TO per-
nit construction Of sewers to abate
the recurring nuisance from heavy
rainfall. Each time an element of
citizens has been opposed to taking
the territory into the city because of
the expense.
II is estimated that more than
one hundred citizens in the vicinity
of 40G0 block West Washington
street frequently are annoyed with
water backing up and flooding base
ments because of the failure to pro-
vide sewers or bitches along the Ma
tional road.
Repeated efforts have been MADE
to obtain temporary relief from the
state highway commission and
county authorities. Some property
owners have bought pumps to keep
easements dry. In many cases the
water has risen several feet, de-
stroying furnaces and other base
n1ent equipment.
Paul r. Brown. county engineer,
promised to look over the condi-
tons with the county road superin-
tendent and see if some relief can
be provided. If storm sewers are
not feasible, bitches on both sides
of the present level roadway would
provide temporary relief, it was
argued.

city officials had agreed not to an
mex any more territory this year

A Party of Deceit in
Vile ManeuVer

WARSAW, Dec. 6.-The ridicu-
lous pretense of the Polish socialist
party in making of Opposition" to
the Pilsudski fascist dictatorship is
becoming SO apparent that many
workers who once followed the So

mist Party.
The farce enacted in the Sejm

when Pilsudski filled the chamber
with saber-rattling officers, and the
socialists were forced to make ar
empty form of wordy Opposition
to the Pilsudski dictatorship, or lost
more support among the workers
to the Communists, is to be repeated
in the present session of the Sejm,
only with bit more smoothly oiled
machinery.
To secure the attention of the
workers, sort of debate is ar
ranged outside parliament, between
tn capitalist parties, which, of
course, includes the socialist party,
at which the socialists are to Eat

meantime attempting to fool the

Machines Throw Illinois
Miners out bV Thousands

The miners Of Springfield were
contented--in their minds. They
thought because of natural condi-
tions in this vein of the coal it would
be impossible to construct machines
that would work successfully. But
the machines have been made and
installed and they are a success so
far as displacing men and adding
to the bosses profits are concerned.
In three of the Peabody mines,
where machines have been installed,
we find the following:
Cora-formerly, $50; now, $50.
Woodside - formerly employed,
400; now, $50.
Riverton, formerly employed, 750;
now, $50.
Fourteen new machines were in
stalled in the Woodside mine last
week. At the same mine 81 men
were discharged. The reason given
by the company for the dismissals
was that they did not load sufficient
coal on the conveyor. They haven't
a grievance, according to the U. M.
w. A. officials.-G. Y.
