Big Dock in Picture
Really on Little Pond

The group Of local Rainbow
girls who attended the state con-
vention at Bellingham last year
will undoubtedly be present at the
Liberty theatre this week when
'The Barrier Is shown. The girls
as part of their entertainment, were
taken to Mt. Baker last summer,
where the picture was being filmed.
They met and talked with the prin-
cipal actors and secured autographs,
inspected the outdoor sets and were
in general pretty well thrilled over
the experience.
Many of the sets which the girls
saw were not shown in the COM
pleted picture, but most Of them
were. The dock scene, for instance,
which shows in the picture as q
landing on the big river, Is In
reality built on little pond no big
ger than an ordinary sized room.
Some of the buildings were just
false fronts, while others were COM
plete down to the minutest detail.

Beet Growing to
Increase in This
Area in Future
Specialist Says Indus
try to Rank High in
State Importance

Being Washington week, Paul
Kirker, sales agent for the Utah and
Idaho Sugar company, appeared be-
fore the chamber of commerce this
noon urging local usage of this
Washington-made product.
MIR. Kirker gave q very interest
ing discussion Of the growth and
manufacture of sugar from the seed
to the finished product. The sugar
industry, he pointed out, was des-
tined to become one of this states
principal businesses, especially aft
er the Rosa project comes into pro-
duction. The Yakima valley in par
ticular, he said, would become
known as the sugar bowl Of the
state of Washington.
BY the use of Washington grown
and manufactured sugar, virtually
the full purchase price stays in the
community, Mr.. Kirker said, while
80 percent Of the purchase price Of
sugar grown in the islands leaves
the country, never to return.
That beet growing can be q prof.
liable crop in the Kennewick dis
trict was shown, he said, by the fact
that more than double last years
acreage would be under cultivation
here this year. With the experience
gained last year the tonnage will
rise rapidly. he said and this sec
ton will produce large quantities.
The refinery at Toppenish, Mr..
Kirker stated, was the last one to
be built in this section Of the coun-
try and therefore was one Of the
most modern plants In existence. He
issued a general invitation to In
spect the plant during their oper-
ating period in the fall.

Eden Resigns Post


rondon, England-The first rep

pe,chstag was the resignation Of
ANTHONY Eden as British Foreign
secretary. Mr.. Eden has long OPP
noaed the Cabinets advances to-

Nth Hitler and Muss0lini, and when
e became evident that his colleagues
vere disinclined to interfere with
the Naz penetration Of Austria, he
redmed his portfolio. Temporarily
the Foreign office Is in the hands Of
yiscount Halifax, Lord President Of
the Council and former Viceroy Of
INDIA, who is generally regarded as
friendly to Hitler,s ambitions. Italy,
also, rejoiced at Eden's downfall,
whereas France feels the loss Of its
most consistent supporter among
British statesmen. The crisis may
conceivably bring about the resig-
nation Of the Chamberlain minis

for q general election.

the committee appointed by President Franklin d. Roose
welt to study labor conditions in England and Sweden
also of the speakers at the Farm Bureau Fede
ration convention.
Mr.. Harrman's address outspoken in his criti-
cism of American ndustrys attitude toward labor He
said England and Sweden had long recognized the
right of aborers to organize for sefprotecon and for
collective bargaining rights. He said that employers
in these countries encouraged their employees to belong
to their trade unions and had done for twentyodd
years He said That agreements between employers and
employees carried out and that the government
had the to that they carried out Point
ing out the fact that England and Sweden have much
less labor trouble than the United States the speaker
told of labor situation where to strike treason
against the government, because meant that of
the parties had not lived up to their agreements.
Industry today in America is and recog-
nizng the rights of its employees to form unions of their
to bargain with their employers the amount they
be paid wages and the conditions under which
have this right His labor is all he has bargain with
He has money any other commodity other than
his physical self 1t is only fair that he shall be allowed
to have voice in what he has to work for.
The reason Unions have become so unpopular in
domineering, obdurate, rueorrun attitude toward in
dustry Industry is not to be blamed in rebeng against
such attitude
On the other hand, industry can no longer work
any number of hours at any wage and make him
take it.
This is age of live and let live and the sooner
industry and labor that attitude the
will see a solution of our labor problems.
