SPOKANE, WaSh.-The Spokane
Unemployed Council carried on many
militant struggles previous to June,
1888, trying always to live up to their
slogan, THAT not one unemployed
worker or his family shall go without
decent food clothing and shelter"
In June, 1888, the powers that be
decided to move the unemployed
single men from the old brewery to
the county Fairgrounds, which are To-
Gated about three and one-half or
four miles east of town This was
done. About 100 men were moved
out of the brewery, which was never
fit to live in, into conditions even
more unsanitary. Two handouts a
day were served" which were sup
posed to be meals. Out of the 720
men in this group 13 were members
Of the Unemployed Council.
Jobless Too Hot
The white collared stiffs in town
didn't like to see men in overalls on
the streets, and these same militant
men were making things hot for the
welfare foficials by sending commit
tees almost every day. BY putting
them so far from town it would elm
mate this bother" according to their
point of view. However, they had
misjudged their men. These were not
the degenerated, DECEASED elements
the city bourgeoisie thought but were
the men, who, with their own labor,
had helped to create out of a wilder
ness the city as it is today including
men Of every trade and many profess
sions.
AS soon as they were fairly estab-
lished in the Fairgrounds billet, the
single men got busy and organized
an organization called 1.-THE Single
Mems Union" Eighty per cent OF The
Fairgrounds men joined the union
after it got a good start, setting up
militant committees and winning the
following concessions: Better meals
clean bedclothing and other sanitary
conditions, and recognition of q
house committee by the welfare Of
ficials.
Boss Kicked Out
The next move of the bosses was
to send out hard-boiled turnkey
by the name Of Clemens, who was
put in charge of the Fairgrounds. He
called a meeting, telling the workers
that he was in charge and that this
meeting would be the last held on the
Fairgrounds. The house committee
got into action. Clemens lasted two
more days and hasn't been seen since
1t was at this time that the 13
U. G. members went into a huddle
and decided that a stronger U. c.
must be built in this group Of men
A drive was made. The workers were
called to meetings. by the old grape
vine' method, without the knowledge
Of the misleaders of the Single Mems
Union, which was now in control
Finally the U. c. grew to IS members
Almost at once, the group which con-
trolled the Single Mems Union found
out about the growing U. c., started
to quarrel among themselves and
caused a split leaving the control of
the union in the hands Of the NC
Refuse Forced Labor
The bosses now brought up the
question of forced labor and attempt
ed to force the workers to work This
the men refused to do. The bosses
then issued statement that all the
men who were physically able must
work one day a week for their board
The workers were forced to ar0itrate
and agreed to work one day a week
on the Fairgrounds only provided

CLUES FOUND
BY EXPERT IN
Staying CASE

BREMFRTON, Wash, April 4
U.P)-Luke s. May, Seattle's mas
ter criminologist, expected i'm
portant developments today in the
widespread search for the slayers
CT four men and two women in a
beach cottage.
Certain fingerprints have been
found on weapons used in the kill
ings, pointing definitely to several
suspects" May said after a con-
ference with other officials work
ing on the northwest's most
CHASTITY crime"
Hammers, blackiacks and guns
were used to kill Frank Fielder
and his wife, Eugene Chenevert
and his wife, Magnus Jordan and
Fred Balcom in Flieder's cottage
during a party sometime last week.
The slayers had a three day
start but, according to May, the
prints found by microscopic exam
nations in the wrecked cottage and
the bloodstained weapons pointed
to at least one man.
"All we have to do is to find
him." the star crime investigator
said.
Search for the suspect spread
to Seattle and Tacoma, where po-
lice made sudden forays into un-
derworld areas.

removed for service without jack
ing up the truck.
Furthermore, an important ele-
ment of safety is introduced by
the fact that broken axle shaft
no longer carries the possibility of
losing a wheel. The rear hub is
mounted on the axle housings, en-
tirely independent of the shaft,
making it perfectly feasible to tow
the new truck any distance with
one or both axle shafts broken or
completely removed
Hinderks says that the new full
floating rear axle is not an exper-
iment. THE Ford Motor Com
pany, Ltd of England, has had
these trucks in actual service for
more than six MONTHS he said,
land in that length of time they
have not been called upon to re-
place a single broken axle shaft. +"

Three army flyers, flying a bi-mo-
tored bombing plane from Mitchell
Field, l.. l., to Cleveland, narrowly
escaped death last night when they
"bailed out" of the ship after one
motor failed. They landed safely,
but the plane crashed in flames and
was destroyed.
The three, Lieut.. Don H. Baxter,
Lieut.. N. H. Crumley and Pvt. Will
liam Letart, the former attached to
Mitchell field and the latter two at
Selfridge field, first dropped flares
when the right wing motor of the
plane began missing badly. AS the

went dead and they jumped. The
plane was flying at an altitude of
about 1000 feet.

CHICAGO WINS
YUMA GAME

Quite a number of Ell Centre
fans went TO Yuma yesterday to
see the big league exhibition game
between the Chicago White SoX Of
the American league and the Pitts
burgh Pirates of the National
league.
The American leagues took the
game, 10 to 2, getting off to a good
lead in the early innings and main
tanning it. Ted Lyons and Wyatt did
the hurting for Chicago, with Mud
dy' Ruel behind the bat, while Hart
started in the box for Pittsburgh
and was relieved by Swift. with Fin
ney and Veltman performing behind
the bat. The White Sox gathered IA
hits to 7 for the Pirates and the
Chicago crew was charged with one
error while the Pirates booted two
plays.
Among those attending from Ell
Centric were Mont j. Reid, county
tax collector, who witnessed his
first big league game, and Addison
Carter.
1T was a great game to watch
Reid said today, land was full OF in
terest despite the one-sided score.
The big leaguers certainly play a
fast brand of baseball and handle
themselves in a high class manner
in all departments of the game.
Most of the regulars were in the
lineup and the Pirates had old Hans
Wagner on the coaching line. The
crowd gave him big hand. There
were several thousand at the game,
though the valley group was not as
large as it might have been.'

that more than 100 valley-wide Or
CARNATIONS maintain their head
quarters in Ell Centre, and further
by sales tax returns, showing more
than twice as much money is spent
in Ell Centre, per capita, as any other
city in the valley, and more than
three times the amount spent in the
valley as whole.
Representatives OF large concerns
who come to Imperial Valley TO
give public trade demonstrations
have often stated that there is much
better response in Ell Centre than
any other valley city. Visitors in the
city are amazed at the business ac-
ivity and the number of persons
and cars constantly in motion in the
business section. This response to
community affairs and continuous
traffic in the down town area are
dut to the fact that Ell Centre is lit
orally the center" of the interest,
activity, buying and business mat
tiers of all the people of Imperial
Valley.
E. Centre is the only city in the
valley which has come close to
doubling its population within the
last six years, and now has one
fifth of the population of the entire
county WIFI one-lourth of the re-
gistered voters of the county reSid-
! ing here. Forty-tWo per cent of all
{ the telephones in Imperial Valley,
1 almost so per cent Of the gas meters
and one third of tie eiecGric meters
are located in Ell Centre.
! Los Angeles developed into one OF
| the five largest cities in the United
/ States; San Diego did not. Detroit
outdistanced Buffalo and New York
outstripped Boston n population.
( The reason for the supremacy in
each case is not location or natural
resources but advertising and pro-
motion, and the chamber Of COM
merce was the keystone of success
in each city. Ell Centre Is now the
/ established leader of Imperial VAL
| ley if it is to continue in this
/ position our advertising and promo
| tional work must continue.
An intelligent, carefully planned
and continuous advertising cam
paign can only be carried on under
established leadership and, as Ell
| Centre is the leader of Imperial
Valley, the chamber of commerce is
the centralized unit, cross section
of the entire city, which is accepted
as the leader of the community. To
continue the splendid work which it
has accomplished in the past six
years in the upbpilding and devel-
| opment of Ell Centre the chamber
must have adequate financial sup
port from the city and this is &C
complished by continuing the small
one-mill levy which property own
erS, half of them non resident, pay
annually toward a city advertising
fund. The interest of every citizen
in FL Centres future demands that
the proposition to revoke this levy
which will appear on the ballot on
April be defeated. A NO" vote is a
vote against its repeal and the peo-
pie of this community should see
that the final vote is overwhelming
ly no.
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1934-04-04

1t should be the desire of all the
people of FL Centre to maintain the
position of leadership in Imperial
county which this city has held for
the past several years. There is, of
course, the usual friendly COMPETE
ticn always existing between cities
closely located to one another, but
FL Centre has, N the past six years
steadily forged ahead and this has
been due to the publicity program
and the promo;ional activities OF
the FL Centre Chamber of Com
merce. made possible through the
one-mill tax levy.
This promotional work, carried on
for a period Of six years, has, as
every merchant in Ell Centre well
knows, established FL Centre as the
shopping center of Imperial Valley.
This statement is proven by the fact
