A BIG PROBLEM

The American Federation of Labor's report on
1884 is good deal more interesting and import
ant than documents of the kind usually are. Fore
cast was that prospects for employment and earn
ings are considerably brighter but that one phase
of present recovery efforts Threatened imitation
by fiat Observation-Disclosures the whole show
-Four specific changes for the better in 1888 were
chronlcled a gain In employment of more than
6OOO,OOO; drop of l2 hours in the average work
week; better organization among industrial work
ers of all kinds; an increase in workers. income
of III per cent.
The report pointed out, on the debit side, that
business is 30 per cent below normal STILL that
the most important thing is restoration of business
confidence, that private initiative is still of para
mount Importance. Belief was expressed that
workers always lose through inhation-that only
wealthy spectators have chance to gain
AT about the same time the report was issued
the National Recovery Administration was MAX
ing plans to find jobs for many as possible of
the 100000 people still registered as unem-
ployed. The President has laid plans where public
works activities and expansion in private indus
try will absorb the 100000 now on CWA rolls.
That will still leave the problem go per cent UNI
solved. General johnson believes the work week
must come down from it's present 4O-hour average
but the change would have to be made gradually,
in the light of industry's financial ability to carry
larger payrolls. Hope is for S-hour day, 4
day week. Looping day from the week would, it
is estimated, create 100000 jobs How to reduce
working hours employ more men, raise wages cut
production, and increase business capacity to pay
the bill is becoming large problem.

Partial Eclipse Tuesday
Nav Be Observed Here

Weather permitting, people here will
be accorded a 20 per cent view of the
solar eclipse which is to take place
Tuesday, February 10, according to j..
Hugh Pruet of the University of Ore
gon, an amateur astronomer of note,
says the Wenatchee Daily World
The phenomenon will occur just be-
fore sunset, Pruett explained, and may
be observed as far east as central
Washington and Oregon. The eclipse
will be 20 per cent at Portland, in
creasing in magnitude at points nearer
the coast. The path of totality will
be a strip about seventy miles wide
extending across the Pacific from the
South China Sea almost to the Can
adian coast.
Pruett refers to the occasion as "the
paradox eclipse" because it will end
a day before it begins. 1t will start
in Eastern Asia on February IA, but,
after crossing the international date
line, it will come to an end February
49,
Losap Island is one of the very few
points where the path of totality will
pass over land. The Japanese govern
ment is financing astronomical expe-
itions to the island.

FIRE LOSSES ON FARMS

Confronted by steadily growing annual farm
fire loss American farmers who comprise "a per
cent Of the country's population, should remind
themselves that the very word ''farm' means
''fir1n or ''secure'', and should set about making
their property exactly that-as regards fire dan
gers.
From Wisconsin comes the answer to the dues
ton, ''Why are fire losses increasing on farms?"
survey revealed that losses in rural areas of the
state increased from So 800 900 in 1929 to $4,000
600 in 1882 These sections lacked proper fire pro-
lection. Fire prevention activities were almost
unknown. On the other hand, in towns and cities
maintaining good fire department facilities and
engaging in fire prevention work, losses were re-.
duced from $6,20O,000 to $4,900,0OO during the
same period.
In Maine fire losses to farm property, includ-
ing livestock, growing crops and hay and grain
in stacks in the field, have increased so per cent
in the last five years
There are few simple steps in the interest of
prevention that farmers can take without diff
Guilty They can dispose of all paper and rubbish
spick and span building seldom burns. They
clean and repair chmneys and stoves. They can
exercise sense in the use of matches,
smoking materials, Kerosene and gasoline. They
can prevent spontaneous ignition of oily rags hay
and grain. They can keep simple equipment on
hand which is adequate to quench or subdue most
fires in their early stages.
Farmers who are striving to work their way back
to prosperity suffer dire calamity when fire de-
stroys their property. They should, accordingly,
give special attention to the reduction of fire haz
ards and the adoption of protective methods.

turns diminished as acreage expanded
Also, the depression caused contrac-
ton of consumers incomes, and this
factor added it's weight toward de-
pressing the price level At the bottom
of this downward trend the farmers
sold their 1882 crop for only 1876 cents
per bushel, receiving total income
from potatoes of only 1856 million dol
lars, as against the 433 million dollars
returned to them by the 1929 crop
In 1888 an unfavorable season cur
tailed what would otherwise have been

said Mr.. Mercker, twas the lowest since
1919. We cannot expect nature to step
in every year to hold production down
to point where producers can realize
fair profit"
ment we believe it may be possible to
attain fair prices for producers" de-
,clared w. G. Meal, of the special crops
section of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration. "Perishable crop prices
are always sensitive to the volume Of
shipments and to the total available
for shipment, and thus the prevention
of urwieldy SURPRISES being thrown
upon the market should be beneficial
to the price level.
"The tendency of high prices to set
in motion forces that bring about sub
sequent lowering of the potato price
level, have been we'll demonstrated in
the past. In 1925 there was situation
similar to the present one. The short
crop, due to reduced acreage and low
yields, raised the price of potatoes to
$1.8O per bushel at the farm, and this
favorable situation was followed by
improved yields and expanded acreage
for the three following years, culmin-
ating in the record crop of 1928, which
brought the farmer the low farm price
of So cents per bushel. In 1929 acre
age was reduced to less than 100000
| acres for the first time since 1924, and
returns were again better than for any
crop since the one of 1926. The down.
ward cycle then again set in, with
prices falling rapidly, and farm re-

The game between the White Bluffs

Wednesday, Jan. 81, ended with the
White Bluffs boys victorious Hanford
had the head in the first half with the
score of 3D. But White Bluffs gained
the lead in the second half and kept
it for the rest of the game. The score
at the end was 1873 in White Bluffs
favor.
The girls game that was played the
same day wasn't so good. The Hanford
girls got the lead in the first quarter
and kept it all through the game. The
score at the finish was 21-4 in Han-

IT is NECESSARY TO EXPECT
UNITED ACTION

Vandervelde.-I am convinced
that the toiling masses in France
desire united action, and they were
the decisive element in the pact
which was concluded; I have no
doubt of that for an instant.
Only, recollect on the other hand,
that in some countries where the
peril is less great, where the dis
proportion in forces is infinitely
more outstanding, there are in the
Socialist Parties prohibitions, objec-
tons and oppositions, which per-
haps have no reason for existing in
France, but which do really exist
in other countries. 1t is necessary
to see things as they are if one
wishes to effect anything at all.

think, at the end of our explana-
lions. (Agreement.)

There will be then a stenographic

reservation of some last minute
corrections, which will be com.
municated to the comrades of our

But for whoever it is Immediately
published, I think we shall tell the
truth very simply. (Agreement.)
That we met, that we made GER
tain proposals, that we regret that
the two delegates of the S. I. were
not able to accept them ilnmedi-
ately, but that they will submit
these proposals as soon as possible
to their Executive (Agreement)
Adler.-Can we draw up a COM

Vandervelde.-It would be diff

us to make our own, we have suffi-

other.
Thorez.-We can assure you that
in the editing of our communique,
as in our commentaries on your
declaration that there will be abso-
lutely nothing to injure what we
wish to attain: united action.
