RAIL TANCLE IN
NORTH EXPLAINED
BY LOCAL AGENT

Although only Indirectly effected
by the railroad disagreement in the
northern part Of the state, valley
residents are kccniy interested in
, The efforts of the Southern Pacific
Company to carry out the ideas Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in regulating railroad matters. az
cordng to j. ". Donohuc, district
freight and passenger agent for the
company here.
Because Of many inquiries as to
Just what the dispute involves, Dona-
hue has complied the following brief
synopsis of the matter:
l. Great Northern aud Western
railroads have applied to the Inter
state Commerce Commission for GER
tificate Of public convenience and
necessity to build a railroad line
from klamath Falls, Oregon to ked-
die or Paxton, California.
,. This construction substantial
ly duplicates new construction, eth
/ er completed or in progress by the
Southern Pacific, which adequately
serves the territory.
;. National policy Of railroad con
struction is to avoid unnecessary
duplication of railway lines.
I. Such duplication creates a
burden OF waste which the public
must eventually boar.
). Territory cannot support two
railroads either now or in the fu-
ture
6. Southern Paeific's north and
south route through this territory
is shorter between important points,
greater in train service and superior
in distributing facilities than the
proposed construction can afford
7. The progressive spirit of pio-
neering railroads in making such
i large investments should not be
jeopardized by unnecessary compe-
tition for business that is obviously
not sufficient Of volume to divide.
8. THE Great Northern and West
ern Pacific could spend this $l2,000,-
600 to q better advantage. 1t should
be remembered that in the long run
this money will come out Of the
pockets of the ultimate consumer,
who pays the freight, including The
bin for duplication and parallcllng.
The Southern Pacific 5 position is
almost unanimously supported by
the press and civic organizations
throughout the state, Donohuc states.
1t is confidently expected that the
application will be denied, bat thc
southern Pacific is taking the posi-
tion that the public should be- fully
informed in the matter, and to this
end has spent considerable effort
to have the facts presented to ALL

Kissing Squads"
In Europe the more advanced sec
tons of the working class have been
much more awake to the menace of
imperialist propaganda thru the
medium of the screen. The Young
Communist League of France has
recently organized "hissing squads"
to stir up spontaneous demonstra-
tions against the showing of lingo
films, films of a fascist nature, etc.
In the creative field we need only
mention the good work of such or
CARNATIONS as the Prometheus in
Germany and Friends of Spartacus
in France.
1t may surprise many comrades
to know that in March, 1925, the
Enlarged Executive Committee of
the Communist International unan-
imously decided during all Commu-
mist Parties to devote much more at
tention to this art which today in
many countries reaches a greater
number than the newspapers. In our
agitation and propaganda arsenals
it is one of the most precious wea-
pons. Let US learn to use it!
