The Resolute well, located
about 20 miles southeast of this

the softer sand this week.
Work has proceeded for the past
three years on the drilling of the

to be placed under complete con-

The we'll gave it's initial indica-

is now drilling in sand which is es-

thickness, and it is expected that,
as further drilling progresses, the
well will assume steady flow.

CARBON HIGH ON
APPROVED LIST OF
NORTH CENTRAL

Word has been received this
week by Principal C. R. Schmidt
that Carbon County high school
had been accredited by The North
Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools for the per-
iod ending March 20, 1882.
Each year the North Central
Association prepares a new list of
approved secondary schools which
are accorded this honor, and no
school is approved by the asso-
clatlon for a period longer than
ole year. Before any school can
be considered for accrediting ~
the North Central Association it
must be on the highest list of
schools approved and accredited
by the school authorities off this
state. In addition it must meet
the high standards of the asso-
citation in respect to the school
building and its equipment, the
school library, laboratoris and in
structional equipment and appar-
atus, school records, the require
ment for graduation, instruction
and spirit, salaries of teachers, the
training and preparation of tea
cheers, the teaching load, pupil
loads, and the schools program
with reference to physical educa-
ton and to its athletic relationship
with other high schools as deter
mined by the state athletic asset
alton.
The North Central Association
Of Colleges and Secondary Schools
IS an accrediting agency compris-
ing twenty states and is the larg-
est regional accrediting agency in
The Unitd States.
Advantages realized by high
schools as result of being ac-
by the association may
be summarized rs follows:
The graduates of an accredited
high school are privileged to en-
'er institutions of higher educa-
ion within the North Central
states without entrance examina
ion, provided that they have stud
ed in the high school subjects re
luired by the college or univer-
ity for admission. Since other ac-
agencies recognize sch
OILS accredited by the North Cen /
raj Association, this privilege of
ntering institutions of higher
ducation without examination is
Ntended practically throughout $
he country.
The graduates of accredited !
Ugh schools have the assurance !
1at their high school diplomas will /,
e acceptable to state boards hav-
lg to do with the granting of GER
ficates for the various profess ,
ons of medicine, dentistry, law, :
&c. In states requiring gradua 4
on from an approved high school
) a prerequisite to the obtaining :
a teaching certificate, the grad r
ates of schools accredited by the :
orth Central Association meet :.
re requirements of such law.
A high school approved by the !,
G. A. must maintain high stan l.
lrds and consequently the COM o
unity is assured of program
modern high school education. a
The examination of the school a

they ask is "Nirvana." which means

TRIES TO SMASH
SAILORS STRIKE
Scab Crew or
Struck German Ship
in Philadelphia
lBy a Worker Corresnondentl

In Danzig, Elbing, Gyndia ana
Stettin the German seamen, under
the leadership of the International
of Seamen and Harbor Workers, have
tied up all shipping. The tie-up is
the answer to the bosses attempt to
put the two watches back, the
10-hour day in port and rs per
cent to At per cent wage-cut and
adjustment Of overtime pay.
With the help of the various Sec
tons Of the I.s.H. the German sea-
men have been able to carry the
fight to foreign ports, especially in
Soviet ports, where all German ships
are tied up. Here in the U.S.A. ports
the American section of the I.S.H.,
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, is leading the fight. In
Philadelphia the steamship Holger is
tied up and the owners were unable
to get scabs in Philadelphia, SO they
applied for their old standby, the
Seamen's Church Institute, to fur
nish a crew and this rotten, blood
sucking outfit of course jumped at
the chance to show its masters, the
shipowners, that it is the faithful
servant and supplied crew.
The oldtimers on the waterfront
are not surprised, because the whole
history of the holy flophouse has
been nothing else but exploiting the
seamen and scabherding. These are
the same ones that tell us seamen
every Sunday how much they love
us. The American seamen are be-
ginning to realize who their friends
are and who are their enemies. We
realize that the fight of the German
seamen is our fight. And therefore
we must fight together. To DO this
we must organize into strong in
ternational and industrial union,
controlled by the rank and file, and
which has one program: class against
class, because nothing else Will do
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union is such an organization and
it is the only one Its headquarters
in New York is lao Broad st. and
every marine worker, regardless OF
color or nationality, is welcome there
and will be given all the information
he wants.

CUTS PAY TWICE
Lumber.iack Pay Down
to SIS a 7 sonth
(By a Worker Correspondent


INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINI.
The International Lumber Co., a
Backus subsidiary, has pushed
through two cuts of 10 per cent each
on all of its lumber mill workers.
Transfers now get rs cents an hour,
dry lumber and planning mill workers
get 80 cents an hour.
The lumberjacks have been espe-
cially hard hit. The numbering in
dustry is practically at a stand STILL
and where in the past Koochiching
County had many lumber camps,
only three are now operating with
greatly reduced forces. The working
conditions are terrible. Liunberjacks
get SIS month and their keep, for
terrible work in timber that has been
burned over in various forest fires
Lumberjacks know what that means,
the timber is all charred and 1t is
impossible to keep clean. Food served
the workers is reported to be very
bad.
The International Lumber Co. is
also laying a track for its railroad
at this time. The CANDY dancers"
are paid 20 cents an hour for

INCREASES SPEED
No Protection Given

Canton, Ohio.

CautOH, OlllOs
Daily Worker:
! want to write to you about the
conditions in the Canton Tin Plate
Mill.
The hot mill workers work eight
hours a day, five days a week. The
pay, Of course, has been reduced ac-
cording to the reduction in hours.
Those working in the block pick
ers' room work 10 to IL hours a day
for SO cents an hour. The speed up
here is terrible. In the cool room
the workers work IL to is hours a
day for SO cents an hour.
One worker lost his right hand in
our mill on Sept. 10. His brother got
killed five months before.
Shearers and helpers work under
the most terrific speed for wage of
33 cents an hour. The boss in the
picker room forces the workers so
that they cannot go to the toilet.
Workers have to buy their own hand
leather every other day. We have
to spend S. every two weeks for
clothes worn out in the mill. The
company does not give the workers
anything to. protect them on the job
no hand leather, no butts, nothing.
There is only one thing for us to
do now. We must build a strong
Metal Workers Industrial League.
Organize to strike against the in
tolagable conditions.

FRUIT WORKERS
RESENT PAYCUTS:
MUST ORGANIZE
A. F. of L. Tries to Put
Over Blacklist Scheme
for Militants
tBy a Worker Correspondent

SEATTLE, Wash.-The fruit work
ers in the Northwest are Just wind
ing up one Of the poorest years in
history.
The packing house workers got
over 10 per cent less than last year.
Last year the general rate was IS
cents an hour for men and 80 cents
for women. The packing house
cesses got all Of their material a few
'eihts cheaper this year and were
paid the same rates as they received
last year for commercial packing.
The workers are resentful of the
slash, but did not organize and were
unable to stop 1t. At the start of
the season, the bosses, fearing the
workers action, stopped part of the
intended reduction in the scale. The
A. F. of L. sent in an Organizer. :"
There were few California packers
in the Yakima Valley and they
spread the word OF how the A. F. of
l.. betrays the workers. This got
around enough to make it impossible
for the misleaders to organize and
they got about 20 members out of
five weeks of organizing" to date.
There is no question that they
came in to weed out the more mill
tant workers, to enable the bosses to
blacklist them. They even brought
in Mckay, so-called socialist" from
Montana. The workers, however, saw
through him and he could not do his
dirty work.
The workers still feel resentfuI and
are militant In spirit. The newly
formed Communist unit should have
q union formed by next spring in
time to fight the workers battles
against further cuts.
Editorial Note.-Let's don't walt
until next spring. The fruit pack
ers are liable to have all passed out
from starvation by that time.
RIGHT NOW is the time to Or
ganize these workers into strong
industrial union. Come on, let's
go!
