PROJECT BOOSTS
BALTIMORE PORT
c. & D. Canal Deepening
Due to Cut Costs of
Operating Ships.

BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.
Trans-oceanic shipping is showing
Increased interest in developing Bal
timore as seaport, with the deepen
ing of the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal. Already ocean-going steam
ers are beginning to use the new
waterway to the limit Of its depth, but
Army engineers are seeking to over
come slides which are holding up COM
pletion to the ultimate depth Of 81
feet.
Completion of the canal to this
depth will fit in with the plan to
reduce operation costs of the Amer
lean Merchant Marine, and will bring
Baltimore and Washington one day
nearer North Atlantic ports in Europe.
1t also will save hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars annually in the cost
OF operation Of ships sailing between
New York and Philadelphia and Bal
timore, since they will not have to
steam through the Chesapeake capes
and up the bay.
The deepening operation has been
accompanied by widening job, which
will permit larger steamers to sail
through the waterway, Although
steamers drawing as much as 10 feet
Of water now are going through, Army
engineers are unable to say when the
project will be completed 50 vessels
OF 25-foot draft can use it. 1t has been
down to that depth since the project
was started, but the slides have been
causing trouble.
During July 1,176 vessels of all de-
scr1ptions used the canal These in
cluded barges, tugs and pleasure YES
sells. but there also were ITO freighters,
81 American ships and 9 foreign ships.
The waterway stretches from Chesa-
peake City, on Chesapeake Bay, to
Delaware City, on the Delaware River,
the latter point about 40 miles south
Of Philadelphia.
The waterway has been in use for
q number of years, but its l2-foot
depth limited it to barges and tugs,
and there was constant trouble when
they swung across the canal as a
result OF accidents and then broke
IN two when the tide went down.
Many times the canal was closed for
days while the wreckage was cleared.
With the canal project placing Bal
t1more one day nearer> the Northern
European ports, there will be marked
savings in operation and insurance, in
addition to providing a quicker service

CENTRAL UNION OFFICE

GREAT FALLS. - The central
downtown office of the unions of
Great Falls made a report at the
last meeting of the Cascade Trades
and Labor Assembly in which it was
stated that a total of 378 pieces of
mail have been sent out from the
office since January Is. The estab-
lishment of the central office of the
unions has met with general APP
Iproval not only by labor %organiza-
tons but by individuals and firms
who now feel that they have a place
to go when desiring information
concerning union activities. The in
dispensability of a central labor
body in a community has often been
manifested by the Cascade Assembly
especially in taking up the requests
of the individual unions and relief
committees before Montana's ma
tional senators and congressman. In
a recent communication to these
gentlemen the central body asked
for assistance in getting further re-
lief. The replies from Senators
Wheeler and Murray and Congress
men O'Connell and O'Connor were
very gratifying.

Musical Selections

At last Mondays meeting of

highly enjoyed by a packed house.

present depression, its cause and

so far had to offer by convincing
arguments put forth by M. J. Null
holland, Albert st. George and

to Mrs. L. Dougherty for her enter
tainment program.
This included: Scotch numbers by
Ed. Sabasky, tap dances by Anita
Harvey, guitar selections by Lois
Daugherty, songs by Catherine
Berry, all accompanied on the piano
by Fred Harvey, with several en-
cores called for. Sabasky was the
dark horse, he was a riot and took
the house by storm.
Lunch and hot coffee was served
after the performance and a re

duced by Townsend Club No. 2, had
its initial tryout on a door prize
donated by Attorney Frame. The
distinctive feature of the sale is the

Keeney Case Undecided
No decision has been made in the
Keeney case and it is still resting
in the District Court in Helena, al
though Mr.. Graham feels that the
organized labor movement in the
state of Montana will be successful
in having Mr.. Keeney reinstated.
Defends Bridges
Issuing a flaming challenge to de-
~rogatory statements made by indi-
viduals and certain publications
against Mr.. Bridges of the Re-em-
ployment Service, Mr.. Graham de-
fled %detractors to bring in any con-
elusive evidence of d~isloyalty of Mr..
Bridges to the organized labor
groups. Mr.. Graham brilliantly de-
Tended Mr.. Bridges, and declared
that there was not one scintilla of
truth in the scurrilous and unwar-
ranted attacks made upon this man.
The charge that Walter Bridges
was a strike breaker and gunman
on the Great Northern Railway dur
ling the strike of the shop crafts in
1922 and 1928 has been extensively
Investigated by him a number of
years ago and found unfounded. Mr..
Graham stated that all gunner on
every railroad in Montana during
the strike was either made a U. S.
Deputy Marshal or a sheriff's depu-
ty. There were one hundred and
sixteen deputy marshals sworn in
as gunner for strike breaking pur-
poses, that some years ago he read
over the entire list and the name
of Walter Bridges does not appear
on the list. Graham further stated
that he asked the mar who was
sheriff of Cascade County during
the strike if Bridges was deputized
as a gunman and the answer was
mo"
To all those who have come to
him with stories about Bridges con-
duct during the strike, Graham has
asked them to give evidence that
the man is guilty but no evidence
has been furnished. Continuing,
Graham said for any person who
happens to have a grudge against
anyone to charge that party with
strike breaking or acting as a gun
man when no proof existed was not

Statement of Anna Anderson
I, Anna Anderson, am a divorced
woman, 80 years old. l have five
children: two boys and three girls.
After my divorce, Mrs. Switzerland,
the child welfare worker, took my
three girls away from me, when I
was able to take care of them. She
told me that I couldn't have the
children until l had a regular job
for about six months. They put my
girls in the st. Mary's Children's
Home in Helena, Montana. They
make my oldest girl, 16 years old,
to work in the laundry there and I
am afraid that she is over-worked
and isn't getting a chance to go to
school.
l have been on relief for about
two years and during that time was
never able to get on WPA, even
though l was raised here and had
my two boys to support and the
three girls in the home.
am registered with the National
Unemployment Service as a house
keeper" Friday, January %, 1888,
at about II o'clock in the morning,
I got a call from the MRS telling
me to go to work at the State School
for Deaf and Blind. I was to start
work at l o'clock that same after
noon. They didn't know what the
pay was. It was so late that I had
to get a taxi to go to the school.
The taxi cost me so cents.
I got to the school at 10 minutes
to j p. m. and they put me right to
work in the laundry room. I worked
Friday from about ten minutes to l
o'clock until $50 p. m. Then on
Saturday, I worked from 8 a. m. I'M
til twenty minutes to 2 p. m. with
only ten minutes off for lunch. The
forewoman had asked me to come at
l or 1870 to work without pay
until 8. I refused and she was sore
because l didn't do that. We had
no rest periods but worked at high
speed all the time. The forewoman
kept telling me to hurry up" The
forewoman kept complaining to me
about how slow the deaf and blind
girl, Mary Bubnash, I think, was in
ironing uniforms. During the 10
and one-half hours I worked
ironed and folded so shirts, so hand
kerchiefs, 300 napkins, 80 pillow
cases, 35 hand towels, and folded
$3.50 dish towels besides shaking
out all the wet wash that came from
the laundry. For all this work
was paid only $1.55 for ten hours
work. This check was made out by
Edwin G. Peterson, president of the
school.
I believe that I have been dis
eliminated against. I am accepting
this money under protest, because
it is far too little for the work done
I further believe that the National
Unemployment Service should moi
call people to work at such low
wages. 1 believe further that a full
investigation should be made of this
situation where people r called of
relief rolls to work for such wages
And l do not believe that such wages
should be paid in any state institu-
ton in Montana.
Finally, I want to state that l be-
lieve I have been Discriminate
against by the public welfare office
in not getting on WPA work.
I have made this statement of my
own free will this day of January
