Labor Executive
Urges Solidarity

Scion c. Bell, International Or
ganizer of the International Union
and presiden tot the Joint Council
of Dining Car Employees with
headquarters in Chicago, told a
large gathering in the Assembly
Room of the Y. w. c. A. Tuesday
evening the Day of Solidarity is
here.
Mr.. Bell has just completed a
tour of the country in the interest
of workers in the Dining Car in
dustry outlining the platform the
Joint Council are pursuing to OBJ
tain full benefit of the recently
granted wage increase. The wage
and hour law of 1889 setting the
minimum wage at zoe per hour and
the ruling of the railroad admin
istrator granting 36c hour mini
mum will not be paid if we sit
idle and expect the employer to do
so, as they are at present trying
to claim cost for food and lodg-
ing 70 remployees who must be
away from home facilitating COM
pany business. Conditions through
out the country today are of such
nature that unity must be your
byword or tomorrow we are with
out our very lifeline, employment.
Mr.. Bell is founder of local 465
with headquarters in Omaha, Neb.
Z years ago and today oversee the
needs of some 10000 Dining Car
Workers. While here he will con-
fer with members and officials of
Local 465. Mr. John C. Baker is
local representative.

School Boys Missing on Trip to Plane Crash


Editorial alarm was ex
pressed by Tacoma's Sunda,

purported Joker" in Senator
Homer Bones bill for Bonnie

ministration.
II was set forth that the papers

unesrthed scheme to seize oui
City Light under terms Of the
measure. should it become law.
II was declared a similar bill
framed by Interior Secretary
Ickes contained the same Joker.
The thesis. n seems to me, made
no better sense than Mr.. Iekes'
innnendo, voiced here sept. 5.
that Bone lately has been function
ing as fifth coiumnist" for pri-
waite power interests.
Further, II occurred 10 TINS
writer that since the senator
himself not only is an author
ity on the bill he wrote, but
also on Tacoma City Light,
which he helped to nurture,
his opinion on the subject
tackled by the Washington
columnist might be worthy
of notice.
In reply to a query, Senator
Bone today telegraphed as fol-

otherwise dispose Of, and is au-
thorized to convey. the distriou-
ton facilities acquired and
improvements thereof, to public
bodies or cooperatives as soon as
such sales or other disposition can
reasonably be consummated.
Bone goes on: obviously, II
would he absurd for government
mower to condemn City Light when
terms of the bill would require
government Immediately TO sell
property II had condemned TO City
Light.
Furthermore. II IS probably
legally impossible for government
to condemn property Of munich
palities.
"So such condemnation has been
contemplated by authors oil 'his
hill and could not be carried out
under terms Of bill.
"On the contrary, sole purpose
of the bill. as plainly set forth
therein. is to acquire private sys-
TENS and Immediately sell them
TO public bodies.

stance is in error, not having con-
suited with me or anyone who
is familiar with the bill, and ne
