Olson Highway
Bids TOE BeLet

Something is going to be done soon
about Sixth avenue north, which even
tuaily will be the Olson Memorial
highway. but now is burnpy and un-
tended street bordered by a Uttered
strip where buildings once stood.
AT a conference with lS members OF
the Minneapolis city council and City
Engineer Fred T. Paul yesterday, the
state highway commission, Mr.. } Hott-
man. indicated bids for construction OF
the two-lane highway to be named at
ter the late Governor Floyd B. Olson
will be let late in October. at
Nothing Done for Year a.a
The highway department already mas
obtained the right-of-way for the
widening and buildings that once
bordered the narrow Sixth Ave. No.
on the north side have been wrecked
, or moved. But for about year, little
or nothing has been done to improve
| or maintain the route.
! Under discussion, with the plans for
starting construction on the route was
the problem of maintenance. In that,
too, the Minneapolis delegation found
encouragement in statement that the
state would increase the per mile
award paid the city for maintenance OF
highways.
State to Pay City More
At present the city gets approximate
" $500 a mile for each of the some 81
| miles of state highway in the city to
cover maintenance which is done by
the city. The per mile figure is ex-
pected to be boosted to approximately
$500 to cover the additional mainten-
ance costs resulting from widening and
improving of Sixth avenue north.
Mr.. Hoffman said the exact figure
would be determined following study
of the needs of the three first class
cities in Minnesota, Minneapolis, St
Paul, and Duluth. A letter outlining
Mr.. Hoffmann's proposals is expected
to be presented to the city council a
its meeting today for action.
The possibility of replacing the pre-
sent Washington avenue bridge also
t was considered by Mr.. Hoffman ant
the Minneapolis delegation. Detail:
still are to be worked out but indica
, tons were that new and wider
/ bridge, possibly making use of parts
e of the present foundation, will be con-
structcd within the next few years.

RED CAPS TIGHTEN
ORGANIZATION STRINGS

As move to solidify and effect a
we'll knit organization, the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Red Caps sus-
pended Pennsylvania Station Local 602,
New York City; Philadelphia Local 60l
and Atlantic City Local 607 for non
payment of per capita tax. This sus-
pension was made temporary by the
President, Willard S. Townsend and
his action confirmed by a majority
vote of the Executive Board This was
not surprise move but purely an exc
cution of the terms of the constitu-
ton of the Brotherhood.
These locals, members of the Penn
sylvania System headed by A. J. Nc
Ghee, have for several months failed
to meet the financial requirements OF
the International, and in view of the
tremendous fight to improve the well
fare of Red Caps and to raise their
economic condition to that of other
railroad employees, the Brotherhood
felt that every Red Cap should do his
part 1C0 per cent and since these To-
Gals had failed, that only those groups
who carried the burden of the fight
should receive the protection of the In
ternational office.
President Townsend recently made
! the following statement on this situa-
ton: The International Brotherhood
a., of Red Caps was organized for and by
| Red Caps and with open arms, accepts
every man in the red cap craft regard
less of race, creed or color and from its
incipiency has exerted every effort to
fulfill its. pledge to Red Caps. The
result of the International's activities
is evidenced by the declaration of EN-.
ployees status to Red Caps by the In.
terstate Commerce Commission; the
execution of more than one half dozer
| contracts with various carriers; in.
prove working conditions of Red Caps
, recognition and certification by the
Mediation Board as a bargaining
agency for Red Caps in more than {
dozen instances and the greatest o
all, up to now, successful fight be
fore the Wage and Hour Division t.
secure the benefits of the Fair Labor
Standards Act
This program has been carried OF
with tremendous sacrifice on the par
of Red Caps and with great financia
strain on their meager income. With
big fight still in the offing, believ,
and am sustained in my belief by tn,
Executive Board that those entitled t.
these benefits should be those wht
have at heart the interest of the Rec
Cap craft, and those who exemplifl
their interest by following to the full
est extent, the terms OF our Interna
tional constitution
In the suspension of locals COL, 602
and 607, the Executive Board has onl,
acted on its invested authority ant
holds no rancor against the men o
these locals. 1t will be pleasure t,
: reinstate them as members of the, In
ternational when they perform ,thei
financial duties to the organization.pp

Proponents Of the resolution de-
scribed it as a "housecleaning meas
ure" and urged its adoption to
express the local chapters "indig-
nation" at the "baseless and cruel"
reflection on guild members. Its
opponents argued that 1t could serve
no good purpose to continue the
controversy.
The resolution finally was defeated
by a standing vote of II to 50, but
then numerous motions incorporat-
ing different phases of it-some
seeking only to condemn and others

Lawyers Guild Kills
Move 10 Condemn,
Authors Of Charges
D. 6. Unit Heeds PIeu
Of National President:
Rop All Dictutorships

The Washington chapter of the
National Lawyers Guild last night
voted down move to condemn"
the authors of charges that the
guild is dominated by pro-Com-
munists, after hearing it's national
president warn that continuance of
calling names" would not help
guild ideals.
A resolution reaffirming opposition
TO Fascist, Nazi, Communist and
every other form of dictatorship"
and adherence to fight to main
tain our civil rights and democratic
institutions" was passed with less
than half dozen mo- votes heard
from the more than 300 members
attending a special meeting in the
Old Interior Building Auditorium.
The meeting was called as
result of threats last week by New
York State Supreme Court Justice
Ferdinand Pecora to lead a mass
resignation from the grll because
OF alleged domination of its Execu-
tive Board by "pro-Communists.
Justice Pecora later agreed to with
hold his resignation and only one
man actually has resigned so far,
the meeting was told.
Gutknecht Looks Into Charges.
Judge John Gutknecht of Chicago,
the guilds national president, who
came here after comforting with
Justice Pecora and others in New
York, told the local chapter the main
objective of his trip East was to try
to find out if there was any basis
Tor the ro-Communist charges.
1T is hard to understand how
people can make lot of statements
without there being some fire
, beneath the smoke" he said. my
job is to find out whether there is
any fire. I haven't found any, nor
any reason to expect to find any.
have found reason to believe there
are some very serious misunder-
standings"
Frankly stating that the charges
had precipitated a crisis for the
guild, he pointed out that I'VE are
living in time where any kind of
a charge by a responsible person can
do lot of damage" He emphasized
that the guild must examine itself
very closely to determine whether
we are working as a team in. trying
to reach our objectives,' and said
teamwork evidently was lacking lin
some parts of the country"
"Our main objective" he added,
els to safeguard the institutions that
have been built upon the Bill of
Rights because only on its guaran-
tees can we carry out program of
social justice"
Warning Follows Resolution.
\ His warning against continuance
of calling names" came after Mil
ton Freeman had introduced reso-
luton to condemn the action of
the persons responsible for circulat-
ing charges against the guild, and
call on the National Executive
Board to investigate the source of
the charges and consider the advis-
ability of disciplinary action.

PAPIDLY-GRoWI INDUSTRY
CELEBRATES SECOND YEAR

A rapidly-growing home industry is
celebrating its second birthday dur.
ing the week of June 4 to 10. 1t is
ashington's sugar beet and refined
sugar industry which, according to
Chairman Chaplin D. Foster of the
Washington State Progress Commits
sion, is worth about 100000 an
nually to the state.
Although only two years old com
mercially, twenty years and about
$7,50O,000 have been invested to
bring the industry to its present
point. Sugar production doubled last
year over the first year, it was said.
Pointing out that several thousand
Washington farmers profit from rails
ing sugar beets, and that large sums
have been expended for the building
of sugar refineries in the state, Gov
ernor Martin declared in his xSusafr
Week proclamation, "suaassa home
enterprise deserves o2me4ull coopera
tion.'
Two sugar eeRneries are operated
at Toppenjs'and Bellingham by the
U and Sugar Company. During the
seas%6ft is estimated that SIS re-
fiHy workers receive $4,000 mon
