HALFWAY TO HEAVEN"

"If it's a Paramount picture, it's
the best show in town. if
it's a Charles Buddy Rogers pic
ture. And "Half Way to Heaven"
which opens a two day run at the
Liberty theatre in Kennewick tonight
is that kind of picture. Rogers in a
new, a different role, thrills you with
daring stunts on the aeriel trapeze,
makes you forget all your troubles
and smile, and, altogether, uses his
engaging boyishness, splendid physi-
que and clean cut personality to pro-
vide you with an evening of gor-
geous diversion.
"Half Way to Heaven" brings Bud
dy into the limelight as daring per-
former in a carnival troupe, in love
with lovely Jean Arthur. Paul Lukas
is the third member of the triangle.
Through series Of exciting events,
the romance Of Miss Arthur and Bud
dy blossoms and fades and blossoms
again in spite of the sinister menace
of Lukas. Finall'- Buddy foils Lu-
kas' attempt on his life and, in a
smashing climax, defeats Lukas and
sends him from the show.
The supporting group is we'll cast
and capable. The picture is all-talk-
ing and there are many interesting
sights and sounds.

STATE CONVENTION
SAYS WE'RE ALL WET

AS a result of the action taken at
the state convention in Bellingham
last Friday and Saturday the repub-
lican party in the state finds itself
much like the mother hen who, when
her brood had Matched, discovered
that about half of them were ducks
and the other half, chicks.
Many of the delegates wanted to
pass up the whole prohibition ques.
ton. They said it was a federal law
and had no place in a state conven-
ton. The ultra dries did not want il
brought up, of course, and the state
administration was reported to have
passed out the word to "soft-pedal'
it. But the wet crowd, made up from
all elements Of the party except the
extreme dries, were so insistent and
persistent, that there was no lodging
the issue.
The question came up up for action
on the adoption of the platform. The
platform committee, made up of one
member from each county, by vote
OF almost two to one had incorpor-
ated a plank endorsing the present
laws. Immediately upon the compile
ton of the reading of the platform,
motion was made to vote upon each
of the planhs separately. When this
motion was made to the convention
the chairman, amid much noise and
confusion, declared the motion had
carried and the fireworks started.
Attorney Ralph Horn of Seattle
led in the vocal artillery for the vets
and N. H. Durham, editor of the
Spokesman-Review, for the dries.
The proposition of the vets was to
substitute plank declaring for mo-
dification in the platform instead of
the one upholding the present law,
recommended by the platform COM
mittee. Verbal barrage after barrage
was fired and when the vote was fin
ally taken about four o'clock Satur-
day afternoon the chairman announc-
ed that it would be taken by secret
ballot-a rather clever move in itself.
'Pandemonium broke loose when it
was announced from the platform
that the modification had won by a
vote Of 456 to 448 and many Of the
delegates left the room without wait
ing for the adoption of the rest of
the platform.
The editor of this newspaper at
tended the convention as one of the
nine delegates from Benton county.
We found all shades of opinion of
the questions represented among the
convention delegates, from the drip
ping vets to the bone dries. And,
yes, there were those who were per-
sonally wet and politically dry and,
strange as it may seem, those who
were personally dry and politically
wet, notably among these latter be
ing John c. Siegle of Tacoma, key
noter and permanent chairman of the
convention.
The vote settled the question so far
as the convention was concerned but
the republican party in the state
finds it has the child sitting on its
lap and what is it going to do about
it? Just what is meant by "modifi-
cation" and how is it to be brought
about?

do any more for him. Instead he ordered that the
boy be transferred to the city hospital.
1t took the hospital staff IS minutes to make out
the necessary papers. Then followed a l5-rile drive
to the city hospital. far on the other side Of town.
The police patrol wagon that carried the injured boy
passed three other hospitals on the way. but they had
their orders to go to the city hospital and to the city
hospital they went. reaching 1t after a 45-minute
drive.
Doctors there found the boys leg needed ampu.a-
ton, and performed the operation. But the lad had
been weakened by the delay and the long ride. and
after lingering for two days he died.
His life was sacrificed to the extensive combina-
ton Of rules, regulations and red tape that binds our
lives in this modern age.
The doctor at the first hospital had the rules with
him in refusing to perform the operation the boy
needed. The police had the rules with them when
they passed up three hospitals to get I otne city in
~stitution. All the way through. everything was done
according to regulation. But. unfortunately. the boy
died.
The tragedy Of the whole thing, you see. lay in the
fact that not one of the men involved could rise above
a set Of rules to save a human life. The bonds Of red
tape were too strong.
That. probably, is one Of the penalties We pay
for living In a world so complicated that IL has a
thousand and one rules and regulations for its own
preservtion.

Organized Labor Wins Important
Legal Victory

Organization Of workers has been upheld by the
supreme court Of the United States. Collected bar
gaining has been upheld by the supreme court Of the
United States. More important than all. the su-
preme court Of the United States has held that a
corporation or an employer of labor cannot crush or
destroy a labor union by an indirect method-or-
ganization Of a company union TO take the place OF q
labor union organized by the employees themselves.
OF course a corporation has the privilege as well as
the legal right to employ non-union workers to the
exclusion Of union workers but a corporation or an
individual is outside OF the law and the federal rail-
real labor act when an attempt is made to organize
a company union BY The exclusion Of the labor union
ana deny employees the right to do their own collect
i've bargaining through their regularly appointed
Spokesman
This happuened when the supreme court sustained
an injunction restraining the Texas and Pacific rail-
road, a branch of the Southern Pacific system. from
interfering with. intimidating or coercing its clerical
employees in selecting their representatives in labor
disputes.
According to Washington correspondents the con-
troversy was regarded as Of great Importance, not
only to labor but to the railroad because it presented
to the highest court for the first time the question
whether an Injunction could be issued under the rail-
way labor act of 1926.
Rail empioye unionists asked for the injunction
against the officials Of the rail company and a fed
eral judge. a democrat appointed to the bench by
President Woodrow Wilson, issued a writ enjoining
the company officials from interfering In any way
with the affairs Of the members Of the rail union
while its members were strictly within the Law.
This decision 50 important to all concerned was
announced by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.
It was not a yellow dog" decision. It was a knock
out for the yellow dog contract and the yellow
dog" contract in a West Virginia case cost Judge
Parker a seat on the supreme court bench.
