Winners in Poster Contest to
Be Entertained

Following the weekly luncheon on
Tuesday, the Kiwanis club went in q
body to the new residence being erect
ed by DR.. P. O. Stone, where corner
stone was dedicated with simple ex-
ercises. The marble stone was en-
graved with a capital K and will be
permanently set in the building.
E. L. Morris, advance man for the
Courier Reporters cooking school,
was guest at the luncheon and also
attended the Stone exercises. Mr..
Morris was much impressed, he stat
ed, over the affair. 1T is such gen.
uine expressions Of friendship which
make life in the smaller communities
so much worth WHILE" he stated.
"There are so many advantages to
living in the small towns that I some
times wonder why people are SO prone
to herd in the larger centers," he con-
tinued, land everywhere go find
that in the towns the people seem to
be getting the real worth while things
out of life"
DR.. L. @. Spaulding, whose home is
on the lot next to where DR.. Stone

speech.
At the meeting plans were az
nounced for the entertainment next

Mr.. Brownell had gone to Spokane
to attend to business matters connect
ed with the financial end of the es-
tablishment. He and w. S. Green,
starting early in the morning, had
alighted from the car in the down
town district and had walked less
than a block when, with gasp, he
grabbed Mr.. Green's arm and ex.
pired without word.
Mr.. Green had the body removed
and at once got in touch with the Mrs
Brownell and the workers at the
plant. Mrs. Brownell was FRUSTRATED
at the news and has been confined &C
her bed most of the time since. Mr.
BrownelPs body was shipped t.

Well Equipped Plant Begins Sea-
sons Run with insufficient
Supply; Payments for DeliV-
cries to Be Made Weekly

Judging from its Importance to
the community, the whistle on the
new cannery is far too small. But
such as it is, it was footed right Wig
orously Monday noon, when w. S.
Green pulled the cord announcing to
the world that the actual processing
was about to be started.
About a hundred and fifty women
and girls who had been previously
notified, were on hand to take their
first lessons in cannery work and out
Of the milling crowds, shortly came a
well organized crew.
Under the direction of experienced
cannery workers brought up from
California, the novices shortly were
sorting, blanching and canning the
four or five tons of asparagus which
had been unloaded. With but few de-
lays in getting the machinery to func-
ioning, the first batch Of cans was
sent through the cookers and are now
stored in the warehouse. The first
two cans to make the trip through the
plant were specially marked and are
now in the possession Of w. s. Green
and the publisher of the home town
newspaper. They mark the fulfilment
OF project which has been sought
In this community for years. They
are the visable manifestation of
dream which has plagued the minds
of many of the towns citizens who
have sought to improve local condi-
tions.
Through arrangements made by
Mr.. Brownell before his death, the
entire output of asparagus to be pro-
cessed by the Kennewick plant was
contracted for by representatives of
California concern. e. e. Huddle-
ston, who is in charge Of the 0alifor-
mia outfit, who was at once notified
of the tragedy, came Immediately by
plane from Oakland, started train
ed crew north and arrived in time 10
complete the arrangements for the
opening of the plant on schedule.
AS only limited amount of grass
has been available on account of the
weather and the narrowing Of the
grass patches, the plant has only OPP
Grated two afternoons this week. To.
morrow morning, however, it is ex-
pected that enough grass will be
available to keep the plant running
steadily throut the remainder of the
season.
Grass will be obtained from the
Gleason, Washington Early Crops ant
the Pasco Growers agencies. Big Y
cannery grass is being sent to Sunny.
!, side, as that institution insisted or
receiving an eighth Of a cent more
per pound than the other agencies
were receiving, it is reported. The
local cannery is making arrange.
ments to receive grass from the Sun
nyside growers who have indicated
} that the weekly settlement for their
product will be an inducement for
them to ship their stuff here.
Growers who are not tied up with
local agencies are being requested
thru the advertising columns of this
paper to bring the grass direct to the
cannery where the same prices will
be paid as that received thru the
agencies. Payment for the grass will
be made Mondays for the previous
weeks deliveries, according to the
announcement.

Of the barriers to effective trade union organiza-
ton, granted by Judge Collier, states that if the
management Of the Brown Derby Cafe signed
the proposed agreement with the Walters Union
1T would be contrary to the provisions of both
the National Industrial Recovery Act and the
code for the Restaurant Industry and would be
in effect prohibiting an employee the free right
to join or not to join a labor organization as such
employe might see fit. 1t would be an agree
ment upon the part Of the employer that would
compel said employe to join the labor union
If the temporary injunction granted by Judge
Collier were an ordinary injunction banning GER
tain forms OF picketing, it would be just one more
OF the usual acts Of an anti-labor judiciary. 1t
would temporarily handicap union work in a par
ticular craft and constitute an annoyance in the
day-to-day struggle for union wages and hours.
But the temporary restraining order goes much
farther and sets up the monstrous claim that the
closed union shop, which is an integral part of
organized labor, violates Section Ia Of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act. Sustaining this
claim would turn Section Ia into a weapon to
destroy the very institution it was intended to
protect.

A SINISTER

Probably one OF the most sinister injunctions
ever granted in a labor dispute is the order is
sued by Judge Frank c. Collier OF the Supreme
Court Of California in Los Angeles, restraining
officials of the Central Labor Council and Of
Walters Local Union No. II from picketing the
Brown Derby Cafe in the Hollywood district of
Los Angeles.
The basis of the petition for the injunction is
the allegation that it would be illegal under the
labor section Of the National Industrial Recovery
Act and OF the MIRA code for the Restaurant In
dustry for the management Of the cafe to enter
into an agreement with the officials OF the Wait
ers' union to employ exclusively members OF that
organization. This is the ordinary closed shop
