BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Increased pressure for suspension of
the insurgent member unions of the
Committee for Industrial Organization
was being placed on the harassed
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor today by John P.
Frey. president of the metal trades
department of the federation.
Frey, who heads a division number
ing nearly 100000 members within
the federation. made request on the
first day of the councils session that
suspension action be taken against
the c. I. o. unions. This morning
he appeared again at the council meet
ing and was voted an opportunity to
present his case in full late this after
noon.
Commenting on his determination,
Frey said he believed split in the
labor movement would be most un-
fortunate" However. he pointed out
that the present instance is one OF
"insurrection, fragrant and abusive, :"
and as such, should be met by decisive
punitive action.
Insurgents "Indifferent."
Meanwhile, spokesman for the
C. I. o. said unions Of that Organiza-
ton are completely Indifferent as to
the decision of the council. He oenied
the likelihood that they would make
any appeal to the courts or would pre-
test in any way If the council votes to
suspend them.
In the absence of representatives OF
the recalcitrant unions, the council
is attending to routine matters on its
docket. At the same time, according
to William Green, president of the
Federation, it is still hopeful" that
"a way OUT will be found in the
present impasse between the two
powerful factions of the labor move
ment.
Mr. Green admitted yesterday, how
ever, that he could not think what
way out" is possible other than a

PRESIDENT ORDERS
5,0OO v. P. A. Jobs
Soil Conservation Program

Drought Move.
Bv the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt announced to-
day that $4,000 w. P. A. jobs had
been authorized in the drought area.
The A A. A, at the same time
moved to increase supplies of feed
crops in the North Central region by
approving further modification of the
soil conservation program.
The President said $500 already
were at work on various projects in
the stricken regions and added that
the Rural Resettlement Administra-
ton was making loans to small cattle
owners to permit them to move their
cattle.
ChiIdren's Bureau Acting.
Listing other drought relief moves,
Mr.. Roosevelt said the Childrens Bu-
reau was investigating the needs Of
children and mothers; the water sup
ply was being watched with plans for
moving families in the event a Short
age occurred, and the Public Health
Service was on the lookout for water
contamination.
The Weather Bureau Mr.. Roosevelt
said, had reported today a few light
showers in the worst parts of the
drought area and heavy rain at Devils
Lake, N. Oak.
These rains did not greatly change
the situation, however, since high
temperatures still prevailed.
Claude r. Wickard, acting A. A. A.
director of the North Central area,
explained the notifications in the soil
conservation program were designed
to preserve all available forage for
live stock feed, to encourage farmers
to increase their forage crops for Fall
and Winter feeding, and to provide as
large an increase of soil-conserving
crops as possible for 1887.
Drought Area Extended.
Noting the one-year moratorium
granted by the Resettlement Admins
tration on loans in the drought area,
the President emphasized this would
apply only on specific showing that
the debtors lacked cash.
Mr.. Roosevelt added the Resettle-
ment Administration was designating
today nine additional counties in
Minnesota as in the drought area,
bringing the total to 277. He said
the 268 already designated included
$4,000 farms and a farming popula-
ton of 2,718,000.
AS Government officials, farmers
themselves and the great grain marts
awaited the crop production forecast
based on conditions as of July /, the
following developments stood out in
the 1886 agricultural crisis:
l. The Resettlement Administra-
ton announced a one-year mora
torium on rehabilitation loans made
to farm families in afflicted counties.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

THE baking, death-dealing heat
which brought ruin over vast
area of the United States west
of the Appalachians during the
past two weeks is due to single
fundamental cause.-the failure of a
blocked mass of ocean-cooled air rest
ing over the Pacific somewhere be-
tween Alaska and Hawaii to break up
the flow of the vast river of hot air
flowing into the interior of the conti-
nent from the Gulf and over North
ern Mexico.
Precisely the same phenomenon, 1t
is explained at the Weather Bureau,
was responsible for the abnormal heat
waves and accompanying droughts CT
1880 and 1884. This mass of cool air is

Orchestra Is to Accompany
Group at Their Annual
Christmas Concert

Rehearsals were started last
week with the 20-piece string ORCH
estra which will be used as accom-
paniment for the Schubert Club
Christmas concert to be given in
the Methodist church on Wednes-
day evening, December 10th. The Or
chestra is composed Of violinists
from Kennewick and Pasco.

hearsals will be called.
AS an extra novel feature Of the
Schubert Club, the dress rehearsal
for the concert will be captured in
the movies by three of the local
home movie fans. Special lighting
devices are now available, making
it possible for the amateur movie
photographer to take indoor pic
lures of large groups with as much
success as ordinary outdoor pic
lures. The professional and re-
cessional parts Of the program will
be filmed in their entirety, and
many varied shots will be made of
the group in action, as well as the
director and the soloists.
The publicity committee OF the
club is contracting heads of over
thirty service and fraternal organ
izations this week, urging the east
side of Benton county to support
this benefit for the Orthopedic hos
pital of Seattle.

citation, during a discussion of the
Christmas Seal Sale, which opened
throughout the state of Washington
on November 9th.
"Entrenched for centuries as the
leading agent of death, tuberculosis
has now begun to lose its grip" sai6
Mrs. Thornton. "It now stands sew
enth in the list Of destroyers Of
mankind.
However, tuberculosis is still 8
major problem" continued Mrs
Thornton, "and becomes highly per.
sonal when it strikes any individ-
ual home. When this definite sit
uation arises, information is Gag
erly sought, though it may be toe
late. The old adage, AN ounce OF
prevention still ranks first in i'm
portance in the tuberculosis pro-
gram. Education for the preven-
ton Of the spread of the disease is
both the greatest aid and the great
est need in its control.
1.-THE educational attack is fin
anced through funds derived from
Christmas Seals. No one should die
from tuberculosis through lack OF
knowledge about the disease, but
they do! The greater the public in
terest the more rapidly the tubercu-
losis death-rate declines, seems to
be an established fact. Safety from
tuberculosis for each one of us de-
ponds upon the safety of all. You

Two Irrigation; Two Drain
age and City General Are
Dated; Contest. Only in Col
umbia District.

Five separate and distinct elec-
tions will be held in this commun-
ity next Tuesday: Both irrigation
districts and both drainage dis
tricts are to elect directors and the
general city election is to be held
that day as well.
The city election promises nc
thrills unless sticker candidate
should appear for one of the offices
All nominees filed under one ticket
in the city primary and but the one
name viii appear for each Of the va
Gated offices.
In the Columbia district, the term
Of Henry Piert expires as director
He will not be q candidate for the
office again. Harry Hampton and Ed
Frauen Of the lower valley have de-
cided to become candidates and
those entitled to vote in this cleo
ton are to make their choice be-
tween the two.
On the Highlands, in the Kenne-
wick district, the term Of M. N. Hud-
nall expires. He has expressed
willingness to accept the position
again and no one has filed against
him. Mr.. Hudnall has served as 9
director Of the district for eighteen
years ever since It was organized
AS mark Of appreciation for his
long service the Highlands grange
at its last meeting passed q reso-
luton that his long record be hon.
ored by rendering Mr.. Hudnall an
unanimous vote.
No candidates have announced
themselves for the drainage dis
tricts, so it is likely that the offices
will probably be filled by default.
The city polling places will be al
the three usual locations. The Ken
newick district will hold its cleo
ton at the club house as usual and
the three places for the Columbia
election election will be held a
usual.
