CLARENDON, Va. october Meet
ing yesterday, a group Of Clarendon
business men decided upon Thursday
final details Of the formation Of re-
tail merchants association for this Sec
ton. Samuel Cohen was selected "a
temporary chairman and tentative
plans were made for the celebration that
will be held to mark both the inaugu-
ration of the association and the COM
pletion Of the 44-foot section Of the
Wilson Boulevard that passes through
Clarendon.
Definite Plans Tuesday.
More definite plans will be made at
a meeting Thursday. Tentative arrange.
ments call for the roping on Of about
two blocks of the new highway in which
will be held a street carnival, with COS
tunes, flood lights and everything
necessary for q gala celebration.
It Is hoped that by Thursdays meet
ing it will have been possible to gain
some definite information as to when
the surfacing Of the Clarendon section
of the highway will take place. The
concrete work has been completed, but
it is understood that the contractor for
the laying of the black top Is holding
back to await the completion of more
of the concrete work on other sections
of the road before he starts to carry out
the part Of the work called for In his
contract.
Merchants Body.
The formation of the merchants as
ISOLATION is being carried out in con-
junction with the Arlington County
Chamber of Commerce. It is believed
by P. P. Woodbridge, executive secretary
of the latter body, that, with the COM
pletion Of the highway and the recent
erection Of a number Of modern brick
stores, the merchants can combine to
make o shopping center that will double
the volume Of their business.

WATER EXTENSION
PLANS DISCUSSED
Arlington Five-Year Commit.
tee Resumes Sessions
After Vacation.
By a stan Correspondent Of Tn. Star.

BY otaH correspondent OF Inc 6tar.
CLARENDON, Va, October 2.-The
five-year program committee of the
Arlington County Chamber of Com
merce, meeting yesterday for the first
time since they recessed for the Sum-
mer months, spent greater portion OF
the time discussing ways and means of
extending the present county water
system.
Because Of the fact that the COM
mittee has been unable to obtain GER
tain figures with regard to the finances
Of the department it has been impos-
sible to formulate definite plans or rec
concentrations. It's efforts are divided,
however, into two separate plans OF
endeavor, namely:
To cooperate with the county water
department in an effort to obtain more
users and to work out ways and means
for extending the existing system to
sections Of the county now without the
service.
Since the entire proceeds from the
original bond issue have been used in
laying the present mains, it is believed
that the only way to accomplish the
latter purpose is to concentrate upon
the former, there not being SUFFICIENT
revenue from the present water rents to
care for extension of the mains.
The county has already reduced the
rate from SGT to $24 on basis of 40,
600 gallons. 1t was pointed out. in an
effort to attract more users in the Sec
tons in which mains have already been
laid and 1t is the purpose Of the COM
nittee to draft plans that will aid the
water department to increase its
revenue sufficiently to reach the Sec
tons now crying for the mains.
The committee also discussed the
coming and sewerage situations. the
other two major projects selected by
them as the three requiring immediate
attention.
In the future. 1t was announced by
Henry c. Morris. chairman, the COM
mittee will meet weekly. Recommends
tons Of the committee, which are to be
based upon a careful study of the
problems faced by the county for de-
velopment within the coming f1ve-year
period, will be presented to the board OF
directors Of the chamber and will be
assigned to special committees fol

CONFER ON AUTO
ORGANIZATION IN
DETROIT SUNDAY
Many Trade Unions to
Be Represented
Continued from Page One

Continued from Page One
After the convention they sent
crew of organizers who interviewed
the auto magnates to see how they
felt about an auto union. Of course
the open-shoppers were opposed and
said so. Therefore the organizers
modestly withdrew from the field.
In the recent New Orleans conven-
ton they did not even bother to pass
resolution for the organization of
the auto workers and no report was
made on the action of the previous
convention. The auto workers were
completely ignored.
What is needed at this time by
the workers of the auto industry is
not a nice respectable union of this
or that craft, but strong, fearless,
militant industrial union, which will
organize all auto workers and fight
for the conditions of all.
Only the Auto Workers Union can
do this. Only an independent union,
based OH principles of industrial
unionism and militant struggle, will
be able to win in the fight against
the organized might of the automo
bile magnates.
