partial Interpretation of the rules, a
reasonable and workable tolerance and
a clearer and fairer wording of the
rules as a whole, were the result OF
a conference held in Seattle by grow
ers from the Yakima Valley and COM
mittee from the Northwest Gamers
Association. A report Of the meeting
was given in Yakima last week be-
fore growers of the Central Washing
ton Growers Association and COM
mittee from the North Central Wash
ineton Growers Association OF the
Wenatchee valley. Progress IN work
ing out a more satisfactory and &C
ceptable Gamers contract was also
reported.
The committee. composed Of three
Central Washington Growers Associa-
ton members, Arthur Kari, +. A.
Norton and Winthrop Coffin and two
Traffic Association members, Curtis
Aller and C. w. Bunting, reported
also that the Gamers showed very
friendly spirit and willingness to CO.
operate with the growers organization
in every way possible. After hearing
the report the growers were unani-
nous in agreeing that the rules were
at least start toward working out
satisfactory grade and they felt that
the growers should give the new rules
a trial this season to determine their
workability.
Provisions were made at the meet
ing for the appointment OF perman-
ent pear committee, composed OF
representatives from the Yakima and
Wenatchee organizations, which will
carry on all negotiations in the fut-
ure. When the Gamers found that the
Yakima organization represented o8
per cent of the tonnage and the Wen
atchee group greater number they
realized that the two could speak for
a majority of the growers of the
valleys and were willing to meet with
them on all questions concerning
both parties. According to the COM
mittee, this is step in the direction
of combining the efforts Of all parts
of the industry into working for the
good of all and is the beginning of
a greater understanding and more
profitable future for the industry as
a whole.

MANY PLEASANT PICNlCS
HERE ON FOURTH

Several picnic parties were held
down under the trees near the ferry
landing on the Fourth where every
body seemed to have gloc:ous time.
One group was formed of the Lean
der, Miles, Moody and Haskell fam
lilies; another was crowd of young
folks chaperoned by Mrs. Ethel Rem
linger and a third was family par
ty made up of Mr. and Mrs. r. B.
McMurray and family; Mr.. McMur-
RVS brother, F. G. McMurry; and his
mother, Mrs. Emma McMurray and a
sister, Mrs. John Owens, from
Naches.
During the afternoon about fifty
young people gathered to swim in
the Columbia there and another ele-
ment of enjoyment was provided by
Elroy Wiehl, Harry McCotter and
Harry Bruce with their motor boats.
Many other picnic parties were
held on the lawns at various homes.
The Taylor, McFee and Wilkinson
families report having had pleas
ant time at the Kincaid home, where
informally was the keynote of the
entertainment; family dinner at
the l.. A. Codding home included sew
eral outside guests; a big turkey din
ner was served at V. C. Wilson's
where Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. jenkins and
Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Holecek were the
guests for the day; at Locust Lodge
where Fourth of July hospitality has
been for years an annual institution,
MIR. and Mrs. Barge entertained Mr..
and Mrs. j. r. Holcomb and Miss
Marie Holcomb of Yakima, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. W.. White and F. M. Hill, and
there were probably dozen or more
picnics that have not been reported.
The Rodeo put on by the Indians
at their corral was fairly well at
tended in the afternoon and a good
many cars of White Bluffs folk, who
wanted to celebrate in livelier fash
ion, went either to Pasco, Yakima or
Ellensburg where the entertainment
was more elaborate if not more en-
joyable.

BY HERBERT BENJAMIN.

The Party forces in District Six have been
unable to overcome the obstacles which the
ruling class has set up in order to prevent the
Party of the working class from appearing on
the ballot. The Van Sveringen, Fisher Bros,
and the rest OF the multi-milonaires of Ohio,
have gone beyond even their co-rulers in other
states in their laws to maintain complete con-
troll and monopoly of all the apparatus of the
state. Thirty thousand signatures are required
from at least 30 of the So counties in order
that workingclass candidates may appear on
the ballot.
In addition to the rigorous requirements pro-
vided by the laws which they have enacted
the bourgeoisie resorts to a greater extent to
extra legal use of its state apparatus in order
to accomplish its aims. Workers soliciting sig
natures are arrested, the petitions on their
persons are confiscated as evidence, and they
are driven out of town or jailed. This occurred
IN practically every city in the state. In New
ark, our candidate for governor Comrade l.
o. Ford was twice arrested In Dayton, three
comrades are still serving sixty day Jail SEN
fences and others are awaiting trial after be-
mig held for days on excessive bail. The pur-
pose of these arrests is frankly revealed by
the prosecutor in Dayton, who offers to drop
the cases if the comrades will promise to leave
town. In the steel centers of the Mahonng
Valley, in the coal regions of Eastern Ohio,
in Akron, the Rubber City, in all the industrial
towns Of the state, similar methods were
adopted by the official agents of the bosses.
The Communist Party will demand place

Finally, Hillquit deplores the Fish investiga-
ton of the Communists, not because he sees

Communist Party. Do you wish to "check the
alarming Communist danger? asks Hillouit.
Then "curb police brutaties and judicial vim

that economic and political conditions lead to

A Defeat Which Must Serve
as an Alarm

failure to meet the stringent requirements Of
the bosses dictatorship that the authorities
may charge US with is due to the measures
taken by these very state authorities to defeat
our efforts to place spokesman of our class on
the ballot. We charge the state authorities
with direct responsibility, and will mobilize
the workers for fight to compel them, to set
aside their technical excuses for eliminating
our candidates.
But for the membership of the Party every
where and particularly in District Six, it is
necessary to learn the lessons from our serious
failure. 1t is necessary to establish that at
in ever larger numbers around the Party when
hundreds of thousands of them are recognizing
the need for militant struggle against the
policies of the bourgeoisie and against the rule
of the bosses, we were unable to develop the
necessary power to defeat and overcome the
measures and obstacles of the ruling class
This must serve as warning to, must serve
to alarm the entire Party. Unless we quickly
overcome the weaknesses which were respon-
sible for this defeat we stand in danger of
suffering further and greater defeats.
Ninety per cent of the signatures secured in
Ohio were secured during the last three weeks
of the campaign. But this final squirt could
not undo the effects of the dilatory methods
that marked our campaign up to then. On the
contrary even our final squirt could not de-
velop the necessary tempo because of the
lethargy which resulted from the earlier ne
glect and responsibility We must learn that
