DEADLOCKED
Recess Taken After Con-
ferences; May Not Meet.
Again Is Said .ua

WASHINGTON, Oct. q. CUP
Labor'S warning factions broke up
their historic peace conference in
deadlock yesterday after the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
flatly rejected an offer by the
American Federation of Labor to
take back the original "rebe"
c. !. O. unions on their former
status.
Although the delegates techni-
callv recessed to Nov. 4, leaders
on both sides indicated privately
that the conference may not re-
convene.
The seriousness of the deadlock
was made apparent later when the
a. +. of l.. made a formal state
ment charges that the C.. l.. O.,s
procedure seriously jeopardizes
the possibility of success of the
conference.
UNLESS there is & change in
their attitude and complete will
lingncSS to approach the, consid-
GRAFTON of the problems at issue
in constructive spirit" it added,
"it is doubtful if any progress can
be made toward peace"
George NJ. Harrison, A. +. of L.
committee chairman, confirmed the
peSSimistic outlook. AS he pre-
pared to leave for New York on
business of his own union, the
railroad clerks, he said that unless
the c. !. O. attitude changes the
prospects for peace are hopeless.
He will return Friday.
The G. |. O. based it's rejection
on the ground that to accept the
A. f. of l.. terms would amount
10 "abicct surrender and bctray-
al" of the new national and inter
national unions organized and ia
ken into the c. |. o. since the
Schism of 1885 divided the Amer
lean labor movement into two hos
tile camps.
The A. +. of l.. proposed that
the fate of the c. |. O. affiliateS
organized since the split be decid-
ed at an immediate conference
between representatives of or
CARNATIONS chartered by the A. F.
of l.. and organizations chartered
by the c. |. o. and which may be
in conflict with each other, for the
purpose of bringing about an ad.
juStment to bring the membership
into the A. F. of l.. on terms and
conditions mutually agreeable"
This clause of the federation
proposal brought denunciatior
from Philip Murray, chairman OF
the l0-man c. |. o. peace commit,
tee, who asserted that it asked
"descrtion and betrayal" of these
unions.
Murray intimated the three fed.
Grafton delegates asked for the
weeks recess after it was appar.
ent no progress could be made in
the face of the c. |. o. rejection
He said there would be no further
intcr-faction discussions or peace
proposals in the interim.

Test Well Sunk
1000 More Feet
in Past Year
Company Pleased with
Progress Made in the
Field; Showings Good

More than 1000 feet of new hole
has been drilled in the deep test
well in the Rattlesnake gas fields
during the past year according to
a report put out by company Of
ficials this week. OF this depth
more than 300 feet were sunk with
in the last 80 days the report con-
tinueS.
Splendid progress has been
made since the last report the
recent bulletin states. 1--WE are
now drilling at 3400 feet. We have
also received a statement from the
State Supervisor of Geology at Pull
man stating that they were able
to separate the oil out of the sample
formation sent them which was en-
countered in the well at $3.50 to
3155 feet. They report that it had
a characteristic oily odor and burns
with smoky flame. This is the
first time we have had report of
any separation of the oil from
formation samples although we
have had many showings."
Drilling is proceeding with an
average of 10 to 20 feet of added
depth per day according to local
reports.

L. B. Seals Are Still
on Sale Locally

The public responded so well last
year when asked to buy Christmas
seals and support the Benton
County tuberculosis League In
furnishing an assistant to the
county nurse. This years objec-
tive is the purchase of a moving
picture protector to further the T.
B. program. The work of the seals
as T. B. problem are better under
stood this year than ever before
There are many people who know
little or nothing of either, but
gains are being made slowly and
surely. And that way lies success
AS the seal sale must be education
al before it is justified and in view
OF the tuberculosis patients and
contacts in this area we know the
public will be anxious to furthe,
the seal sale program by purchasing
your seals.

Call Upon Officials to
Stop Union Racketeer-

Kennewick chamber of commerce
this noon endorsed a resolution
asking that the state take action
against the interference of trans
portation on the highways, partic-
ularly as applied to farm produce.
The state organization of cham
bers of commerce passed the reso-
luton calling upon state and ma
tional officials in enforcing, without
fear or favor, laws pertaining to
the open highways. The resolution
also condemned the practice OF
picketing except in certain specified
cases and called for responsibility
on the part of labor as well as cap
ital. ...-
The right of collective bargaining
was not abridged in the resolution
but peaceful means of enforcement
were strongly advocated.
Upon motion of the chamber the
resolution was endorsed.

WPA to Release
More than $4,000
on Golf Project
Acceptance Hinges on
Sponsors Ability to
Raise Material Cost

Because of the large number of
men applying for relief jobs and
the dearth of sponsors for projects,
prospects for securing a grass golf
course for Kennewick appear bright.
Plans and specifications, togeth-
err with costs for materials have
been drawn up and the project has
been approved by the state officials.
Money for the materials required
will be raised by a sale of men,
berships here and at Pasco, and
special committees expect to start
the drive very soon. s.-..
The project will require, accord
ing to the plans on file, the labor
of about fifty men for four or five
months, and will mean an expendi-
ture of more than $4,000 in wages.
The work will be done under the
WPA, with the local sponsors sup
plying materials. -
Land has been purchased for the
purpose just west of the city limits
on the highway to the Highlands
It will be cleared, irrigation pipes
installed, the fairways planted to
turf and the green's built, providing
the sponsoring group is successful
in raising its proportion of the
| funds.
With no other outside work in the
community, this project would go q
long way toward relieving the labo,
situation in this district this win.
ter it is pointed out as it is likely
that work can be continued during
the slack season.

Fire Department
EnfOrceS Fire
Prevention

During the holiday season is a
good time to clean out the old
trash in your basement and also to
clean out any old fire traps. This
is the statement which was made
by fire chief Carol Pratt this week.
He also stated that the fire boys are
sort of lazy bunch anyway and
do not like to be called out any more
than is necessary and although this
is not fire prevention week he thinks
it is fitting and proper time to do
some fire prevention work by clean
ing up as much as possible.
The work on the fire department
quarters is progressing quite rapid
ly and within ten days it will be
completed. This project is part OF
the work the department is doing
towards raising their position from
seventh to sixth place in the ratings
in the state.

%. Reports Big
Increase Over
Previous Years
Local Shopping Start
ed Earlier and Lasted
Longer this Year

Christmas business, as measured
by local postal receipts, was the
best this year Of any in the history
OF the community, according to q
report given out today by Post
master F. II. Lincoln.
Both incoming and outgoing mail
broke all previous records, Mr.. Lin
coin reports, about 10000 greeting
cards being mailed, using the cent
and a half stamps. 1t was also
noticeable that a great many more
persons sent personal greetings
along with the cards, using the g.
cent postage which is far better,
Mr.. Lincoln thinks, because 1t al
lows the cards to be forwarded in
case of change of address.
People sometimes wonder, MIR.
Lincoln says. why they never hear
from those to whom they send
cards. To some extent the answer
rests with themselves. Every year
the local office has few hundred
cards addressed to people who never
lived here, also others bearing
street names that do not exist in
Kennewick and others to persons
who have left the country years ago.
OF course these cards cannot be
delivered. Obviously, IL they had
been mailed under Scent postage
with return thereon they could be
returned, thus helping patrons to
correct their mailing lists.
The sales for stamps and enve-
lopes for the past year exceed that
of year ago by a couple Of hun
dred dollars, Mr.. Lincoln reports.
Sales for last year amounted to $16,-
745, while the total for this year
will be Slightly over $4,000, the
postmaster states.
Santa Claus was especially lib
eral in this locality as indicated by
the heaviest volume OF incoming
mail ever received here during the
Christmas season. About twice the
time was required this year to make
deliveries and IL seems that hardly
house in the community, but what
received Christmas packages. The
rural carriers had real mans job
making their deliveries, even add
ing a trailer on one Of the routes
to carry the load. It took until
dark for several days to make the
deliveries on the rural routes.
), Stores as well as the postoffice
; department report that the Christ
mas shopping started at least a
week earlier this year than usual
!, with mailings being done earlier
! too. Shipments to the east start
ed as early as the 10th, MIR. Lin
coin says and increased rapidly in
volume until special estate sacks
were being sent by the 18th and

J, Exceptionally heavy mailings
were made to North Dakota, Me-
braska, Iowa Kansas and Missouri

The japanese View

The local japanese colony has
been provided with propaganda pre-

which is now raging. The first par
agraph of their printed pamphlet
reads: "For 16 years Japan strove
to befriend China. China replied
with anti-Japanese agitation. For
almost a decade following the
Washington conference, Japan did
every possible thing to befriend
China, and China's response was a
studied effrontery."
