Bridge the Columbia
In Short Time at Coulee

A bridge. at the Grand Couiee
built in perhaps. a shorter time
than any settler would believe it
possible to bridge the Columbia
River, is now complete after sever
al weeks work.
This is the temporary span built
by the Mason-Walsh- Atkinson-K ier
companay to carry their trucks
and workmen across the stream IN
order that their construction activ-
tiles may not be delayed until q
more permanent bridge can be
erected. Against tradition, piles
for the structure were floated down
the Columbia from the vicinity Of
Kettle Falls and were put into
place by huge piledrivers. In mid
stream it was difficult going, the
swiftness of the current Of the big
river causing more trouble than
had been anticipated. It was nee
essary to drive five piles instead
of four for the mid-river bents
and TO use the services Of a pow
erful launch to hold them from be-
ing carried off with the current
while they were being put in place.

Tommy Brown Complains
of Having Restless Feet

Tommy Brown, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. F. Brown, is complaining
of restless feet. Tommy got a job
in the Washington building at the
Worlds Fair and has been at Chi
cago since last May, telling the 38
million people who attended about
the wonders of our Evergreen
state. He had a wonderful sum-
mer, he claims.
On the return trip he took the
southern route. He stopped off at
New Orleans, took in the sights,
saw sugar cane growing and being
gathered or cut or whatever they
do to it; went thru Texas and saw
thousands of oil wells, on up thru
California, where he stopped at
various points to take in the
sights. He stopped over at Palo
Alto and met Bob Siegfried and
the two took in big football game
and a prom following.
Upon his arrival home yesterday
he was met with telegram from
the Spokane & Eastern bank in
Spokane asking him to come there
to see about getting q job. He is In
Spokane today, but confessed be-
fore he left that his trip had given
him feet which almost demanded

State Apple Code
Goes Into Effect

Enforcement of the Washington
State Apple Code was begun last
week, according to announcement
of code authorities.
The code necessitates all retail
ers and wholesalers to place one
cent stamp on every box Of apples
in stock and also to make payment
of that amount for all apples sold
this season.,
There was some talk in Spokane
among the commission men that
they might oppose the efforts to
have them purchase these code
stamps on the grounds that the
producer should pay the stamp tax.

Collection for Band to
Buy 'em New Uniforms

AS gesture of friendliness, the
Kennewick chamber of commerce
asked the school band to meet the
train bearing the 100-odd Seattle
business men who came on a good
will tour thru the valley Tuesday.
The move made hit with the Seat
tie men who enjoyed the band mu-
sic and they took up a collection
for the kids. And the kids, as re-
suit, are going to blossom out soon
in a brand new set of uniforms.
The coast men were treated to
weather similar to what they had
been used to on the coast, but were
each given drink of the famous
Church's grape juice, manufactured
here. After the pictures were TAX

ed upon the local representatives
of the various lines.

surplus to get in and the more
men and money it takes for en-
forcement. The committee feels
that no more could have been done
with this code, planned and adopt
ed to operate as this one was.
The writer personally feels that
the net result Of the code opera
ton was to hold the state price
about three dollars a ton above
what it would otherwise have been
AT least for the bulk Of the crop.
Prices surely dropped that much
as soon as the code was taken of.
If that it true, a business man
would say that 40 cents ton as
sessment was well invested. I'm
satisfactory as results were, be-
lieve most potato growers feel the
same way.
I believe that a more effective
code could be worked out to pro
vde a price direct to the growers
and an ALLEGATION of digging if 9
surplus develops. I am not q be-
lever in legal restrictions upon
planting. Knowing that our early
potatoes cannot go east OF Mon.
tana except where there is q short
crop in the middle south and that
this happens not more than one
wear in six, it seems to me fool
ish gamble to plant for this mar
ket. If the Yakima Valley early
acreage were only half OF last
years good price would be sure.
Heavy planting should be discour-
aged, then if surplus develops
| for the state market, allocate dig
| cling. 1t would take a lot more de-
tailed work and more men, for it
! is easier to watch few dozen
dealers than some 600 growers, and
harder to enforce the law against
a grower than against a dealer
But it would be the only way to
maintain a price much above the
4 free level. :,
In conclusion, / wish to state tina.
your committee members all fee
that they have given more than
they have gotten out Of this deal
and none of them would care K
serve again. Respectfully W. G
MULDROW.

IGNORING
Federal Court Order, NRA
Takes Greif Firms Eagle

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Exer-
cising what it believes is an admins
trative right under the law and the
presidents order, the National Re-
covery administration has directed the
mems clothing code authority to with
hold Blue Eagle labels from the L.
Greif & Brothers, Inc, Baltimore, for
violation of labor provision of the
code. The NRA action was taken de-
spite federal district court restrain
ing order directed against the code
authority.
At the same time, the NRA with
drew the Blue Eagle from the Bear
Brand Hosiery Company, because of
discrimination against union workers
by the company at it's plant in Beaver
Dam, Wis.
The NRA announced that the Greif
firm, one of the largest in the indus
try, operating ten plants in Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Virginia, has "been
found in violation of labor provision
of the mems clothing code protecting
wages of workers receiving less than
$50 a week but in excess of the aver
age of the lowest wage"
1t was explained that this is the
type of provision appearing in all
codes, designed to prevent cutting all
wages to code minimums. The action
withdrawing the Blue Eagle followed
hearing July before the NRA
compliance division. The company
was given two weeks IN which to make
restitution of back wages, said to
amount to more than 100000 or OBJ
tain an exemption from the code pro-
visions. The company's application
for exemption was denied by the code
authority and the latter's action was
upheld by the NRA.

MESSENGER BOYS
STRIKE

New Orleans IILNS)-Almost the
entire force of messenger boys en-
ployed by the Postal Telegraph Cable
Company went on strike when new
city zone maps affecting the wages
of the messengers were put into
effect by the company. According to
the boys, the new zoning system cur
tailed their wages considerably.
Walking messengers averaged about
81 per week and bicycle messengers
$5 to 81 under the old plan. The new
system would decrease salaries ap-
proximately 81 per week, they added,
since commissions are paid on mile
age basis and the new zones cover
greater areas.
