Washington, participated in by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Miss Frances Per-
kins, Secretary Of Labor. and Miss
Perkins was a White House dinner
guest last night.
Knudsen Report Erroneous"
Upon leaving the White House she
explained a report that William S.
Knudsen, General Motors executive
vice president. had agreed to meet
with the union and the conciliators
was erroneous. She said a mistake in
a report transmitted to her from Con-
cilator Dewey was responsible.
One of the meetings at which the
Labor Secretary and the President dis
cussed the General Motors crisis was
the regular gathering of the cabinet.
In answer to query, Miss Perkins
said it would be only spectacular" to
attempt to arrange a conference now
in her Office between Sloan and John
L. Lewis, whose Committee for Indus
trial Organization is aiding the United
Automobile Workers in their en-
deavors to negotiate with General
Motors.
Such step. Miss Perkins said, might
be practical sometime later.
Referring to public statements IS
sued by union and c. I. o. leaders and
General Motors executives, the Secre-
tary said:
The exchange of letters in a family
quarrel seldom does any good-does
it?-even II there is q certain satisfac-
rion IN putting down your feelings in
black and white"
Martin Claims Support.
Martin, head Of a u. A. w. A. STRAIT
egy board empowered to declare
general strike against the corporations
50 domestic plants to obtain the
unions objectives, said a general
stoppase Of General Motors is under
way"
Although the U. A. w. A. has been
suspended from the American Fedora
ton Of Labor for affiliating with the
c. I. o., Martin said the Detroit and
Wayne County Federation of Labor
has pledged its support in the unions
dispute with General Motors.
The youthful union head declared
that its legal counsel would seek the
impeachment and disbarment of Cir
cult Judge Edward D. Black. who
issued an injunction against "sit-down"
strikers in two Fisher Body plants at
Flint, Mich.
Martin revealed-and the jurist ad-
mitted-that Black owned stock in
General Motors. Martin said the
judge held $4,000 worth of stock;
Judge Black said he held "some."
Michigan Law Cited.
Accusing Black of being interested
in the proceedings himself. Martin said
such reprehensible conduct cannot 20
The unions attorney,
Larry s. Davidow, said Michigan law
prevents q judge from presiding in a
case ''in which he Is a party or in
which he is interested"
Ralph e. Gault, member of the
Flint law firm which obtained the in
junction for General Motors, said the
suggestion that the Judge might be in
terested was absurd" and that such
stock ownership made no difference.
No attempt has been made to eject
the Shutdown" strikers who have re-
mained in the Flint factories despite
the injunction issued last Saturday.
Notice has been served on Martin and
two union vice presidents as possible
forerunner to contempt citations.

BORDER BRIEFS

Christmas for Borders members
and friends was truly an occasion
for joy and Thanksgiving. With
the aid of some of our staunch
friends and members, the day
marked milestone in our develop
ment toward a newer and greater
Border. It was possible through
these channels to provide not one
but several gifts for each child
that his Christmas might be
made more joyous. With the vision
of our new church plant dominant
in the mind of each, the members
served the many children happily
in the handicapped quarters of the
parsonage. Looking backward to
1886, we have many blessings for
which to be thankful. Looking for
ward to the New Year much good
is in store for US as we all work
toward the realization of our
dream.
Rev. and Mrs. D. P. Young wish
to take this opportunity to thank
each and everyone for their tokens
of esteem and appreciation. To the
members of the church for their
cash purse, to the Epworth League,
to the many friends for each in
dividual gift, they wish to express
their heartfelt appreciation and
boundless joy for each remem-
brance.

BETHESDA BAPTIST

The Rev. W. E. Wellington of
Bethesda on the last Sunday of
1886 found himself facing the diff
ficult task of attempting to interest
an audience more or less soporific
from the strenuous holidays culmi-
mating in the Christmas ceremonies
just concluded. He chose for his
discourse the epistle written to
Timothy by the apostle Paul. Quot
ing the apostles celebrated decla-
ration 81 have fought good fight,
I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith" he interpreted the
eight" as boxing, "my course" as
the education derived from study
of the word or booking and "kept
the faith" as saving things of value
as banking. From these things he
developed the thought that all
Christian people should box skill
fully against the powers of evil,
study Gods word to become per-
feet in knowledge and preserve all
the things gained in the warfare
of life. Touching upon number
of things the pastor spoke feelingly
of war and it's horrors as shown
in current world history and spoke
of the misfortune of losing the
things one has acquired through
hfe's journey-as opposed to the
blessings of the things of value
one may bank in the course of that
same journey.
At the evening service in a short
sermon he drew much of inspira-
ton and new light from the scrip
ture as found in Acts Is. Called
attention how Paul and Barnabas
did not forget the work they had
accomplished in their missionary
labor but went back over the field
to- reencourage those whom they
so recently won to Christ. This, he
said, is what Bethesda and he him
self must do in the coming year
to restore through visits and coun-
sells those who had been lax in
their church association the past
year. The joint Senior choir and
Gospel chorus sang the music. At
the Sunday school and BYPU ses-
sions the remainder of the Christ
mas gifts were distributed.

Former Benton County Pioneer
SuccumEs to Pneumonia at

Since tlle following Letter con-

Commissioner of Benton County
and his wife, the Spokesman takes
the liberty of printing it, entire:
'eDear Sir: have been asked to

Mrs. Letitia Cozad Bash (Mrs.
FRANCIS Lee Bast), of Grants Pass,

r. Slavens, of Hanford, can tell you
all about Mrs. Bash, who, with her
husband, was one Of the earliest
Settlers in Hanford.
Mrs. Bash was a very fine lady
and dearly loved by all her trends.
'sMr. Bash was seriously i'll of
pneumonia but is now considered
out of danger. Mrs Bash was TAX

I way January 9th, I think a news
paper wilt probably be sent you

Economics Clubs
Study Clothing
Miss Helen Steiner Contributes Ar
ticle on Work of Home ECON
ornics Club Groups

During the months of January
and February the Benton County
Home Demonstration Clubs are
planning to study consumer cloth
ing purchasing and materials pur-
chasing. In january, these adult
study clubs are planning to study
simple tests for THE various kinds
of materials, including identified
ton, slippage, shrinkage, fading,
etc. The study of labels will also
be given some consideration.
Price is not always an indication
of tine quality or durability of the
material, says Miss Helen Steiner,
Assistant Extension Agent of Benz
ton County. There are so many
new novelty weawes and finishes
that it is difficult to identify Ger
tain types of materials. Retaileds
themselves do not always definitely
know what their goods are, conse-
quently never allow their girls 20
give out a written statement fe-
garding it. Further, labels are
sometimes misleading. There are,
of course, many new processes of
value to the consumer, such as sam
forized shrunk, ta11tl.crease, and
permanent starch1ess finishes, as
we'll as many finishes that are det-
rimentA from the consumers point
Of view, such as excessive soluble
and metallic weigttitlg, temporary
finishes, and some novelty weaves.
In preparation for this study,
there will be a clothing project Lead
ers' meeting in Benton City ON the
t21sts OF January, at which time Miss
Martha Lowery, Clothing Specialist
from tI1eaState College, will give the
initial work in this study. Sixteen
county club leaders plan to attend
this meeting.

That this earning situation is far
from satisfactory is indicated by
the fact that the sinking fund re-
demption and special fund assets
in 1888 were $377,585; in the year
1884 were $91,338; and in 1885 were
$78,587. That the financial situa-
etion is somewhat serious is further
corroborated by a report on this
system by the Municipal League Of

system, it is stated, ON page 80, as

However, from 1925 to 1888 in

Every reader of the Spokesman

is mourning over her passing from
us. She had been I'LL but five days
and had been taken to st. Eliza
beth's Hospital in Yakima for care
at the very beginning of her illness.
BUT the development of pneumonia
made all efforts to save her of no
avail and she answered the final
summons at $50 p. M, January s,
1887.
Her kindness of heart and UNI
failing good disposition had en-
deared her to all and her loss is a
great loss to the community. Pro-

was held by all, The surviving
