police are working behind coattails
and in front even with the bootleg
gers. They keep us men down, tell
ing us to hang around shore and
not above Palafox Street. The city
politicians feed like crab on dead
man. Jesus, its awful when you take
time off to think about it all.
When the fellers are out on
ching boats catching red snapper,
they can't wait till they get back
to shore. When they're ashore, they
can't wait till they get back to sea. .
A BUNCH of fishermen are lined
n up on a bench against the wall
of the Star of the Sea like lot of
gulls waiting for scraps.
Jim says once more, Its awful.
Hell, because it's 40 per cent for the
company, 20 per cent for the boat
generally owned by the company,
and 40 per cent for the crew. The
captain gets two shares, the en-
gineers share and a half. The COM
pany don't want you to catch more
than 10000 pound red snapper for
one load. I been in boats where
we got $4,000 and even $4,000
pounds. The fish weigh IA and IS
pound piece. We get five cents
pound for red snapper here. And
now the company's trying to ham
mer it down to three cents.
Go into any halfassed lunch
room, and you pay As cents for a
dinner Of red snapper. Cockroaches
in the hold of the boats, the big fish
hard to handle, no money for hand
ling ice. We go out for a month.
Far as Tampechie or Vera Cruz, got
to catch a minimum of 1000 pound.
If it's less than that, you don't even
get fishtail like cat. So you see
why we got to organize them. The
M. w. I. U. amt done much with
fishermen yet. But we'll shake the
lead out one of these days.
81 know what halibut f1shing's off
the coast Of Labrador. I know what
Gods when you got to shove your
mitts into the water to freeze the
gloves so you can pull your lines
into the dory. Some people don't
believe that. The bilge in these
sinking tubs turning your gums
blue. And right off the Connecticut
coast I know what it is to scoop up
tons of tinkers, the young mackerel,
and dump them into the bay in the
face Of half the people starving be-
cause the icehouses offer only cent
a pound.
"And down here going off in a
ching boat, working a damned
month, and coming back and the
first thing there's a money broker
to give you crefit for whiskey or a
girl, and then when you're empty
into the claws of the bluecoats. If
you're a seahorse, they got bit and
whip for you. If you're a landhorse,
they got bit and whip for you"
Here shaggy-headed Jim claps his
puckered paw on my shoulder
Mark my words, boy this won't
last forever We're starting work
They'll be surprised one of these
sweet days. Well shoot the lead
out of our pants so goddarnned fast
square into their dirty mugs, they
won't know where they're at"

across some handbills stuck to a

Dams to Create Lakes
The plan being advocated is to

create vast lakes to hold flood
waters.
Army engineers have frowned
upon the plan as a method

UNITEDLY-

The Kennewick district becomes
again one of the fortunate ones be-
cause of its early crop season. The
shipments of asparagus, which start
30 early in the season, bring return
to the growers in this section long
before other districts are thinking,
even, of harvesting. The asparagus
production this year, due to several
early, mild spring, larger
paintings and older patches ex-
coed that of any year in our history.
The asparagus, in fact, will in the
very near future, be considered one
Of the major crops in this district.
The cannery, by sustaining the green
grass price and providing for a ready
outlet for the later cuttings, will
make this crop profitable one.
However, if asparagus is to as
sumo its rightful place as profitable
crop there must be a unified cam
paign to control the pests which
threaten production. Experiments
are being conducted by several agen-
cies and no doubt solution will be
worked out. But once that method is
determined there must be no Stacking
on the. part of a single owner to do
his part in the battle against destruc-
ton of the fields. It is not an individ-
ual problem, but community one
and as such must have the fullest CO.
operation by every grower in the dis
trict.

ExHUME-

EXHUME-
Never a kind word was spoken
Tuesday night at the Republican
county convention about the occomp-
lishments of the present administra-
ton. Judging from the remarks
made by the speakers on that occas-
ion, there appears to be widespread
dissatisfaction with the manner in
which our government = national,
state and county-is being conducted.
That the republicans are determined
to arrange for implements with which
to dig up from the debris which has
accumulated the past year or two the
document which has enabled this coun-
try to progress as far and as rapidly
as we have seems certain. They expect
apparently, to once again bring the
constitution back to its rightful place
in the affairs Of men and return it as
the foundation of our political struc-
ture.

BOOST

Years ago this section had a repu-
tation for being one of the boosting
est" communities in the state. Peo-
pie who came here were imbued with
the idea that this section was to be-
come famous and prosperous and they
were willing to tell the world about
it. Tough times, changing conditions
and other influences have caused
many of our people to lose their
"pep." With the brighter outlook, the
rehabilitation Of the irrigation sys-
TENS, new crops and methods, there
is revival Of the former spirit. Now
that the district again has something
to "crow" about, the move to get
everyone into the old spirit again is
finding success. The combined eff
forts of the farmers themselves and
the business men is bound to show
permanent results. Let's all boost our
section. We certainly have a right
to shout about the advantages Of liv-
ing in this part of the country.
