machinists, telegrapherS and simi- lar personnel.
 Union chiefs are prepared to
 go the limit in pressing these
 demands, even to the extent of
 taking their case before an
 emergency fact-finding board named by the President, as they
 did in 1888. However, though a strike probably will be voted, as in 1888, there is little chance of it coming off.
 Biggest obstacles is the Rail- way Labor Act, a model cooling off" law which delays a strike for months, even after one is voted. Under the act, if union-1nanage- ment negotiations fall through and the National Railway Mediation Board fails to effect settle ment, the case is certified to the President, who then appoints an emergency fact-finding commit tee of three men.
 The jaw provides a 30-day wait after the committee is set up and another 30-day wait after the committee makes its recommen- dations, before strike can begin. should the dispute reach this stage, it's safe bet that both management and labor will accept the recommendations, las they did in 193S), especially in view of pub lie repercussions that would re- suit from a tieup of defense trans portation. Carrier and union spokesmen admit this privately.
 NOTE - Strongest union ar- gument is the relative underpay- ment of railroad craftsmen and laborers compared with other in- dustries. A railroad machinist gets 83 cents an hour as against g an hour for machinists in the printing machine industry, and an average of over $1 in most other industries. Rail laborers draw a minimum of 36 cents an hour as against 62 cents in the steel industry.

 U. s. authorities are quietly keeping an eye on Andre Mau- rois, well-known French writer, who has departed on a mysterious private mission" to South Amer ica. Maurois Is strongly pro- Vichy and is suspected of going south for the purpose of plugging the Nazi-controlled French regime. Dr. I. Lubin, brilliant Whit House defense expert, is the most "Officed" official in Washington. He has an office in the White House, another in the Labor De- partment as head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, third in the Labor Division of OPM, and a fourth in the Treasury as an ad- wiser to Secretary Morgenthau.

A TAX ON ROADSIDE LITTER
(Chrlstian Science Monitorl

Christian Science Monitor)
 The decision of Vermont's State Liquor Control Board to charge a tko-cent deposit on beer cans and "so-called non-returnable' beer bot- ties, in an effort to keep its road sides free from these unsightly re- ceptacles, is a regulation which other States, faced with a similar problem, could adopt advantageously.
 Not ony in pastoral Vermont has the discarded beer can liampered roadside Identification. It has be- come a serious problem in scores of rural areas close to large cities. Too many lovely country lanes haxe bee come "tin can" dumps or deposi- tories for empty bottles. Unfortu- nately these country districts have no stFeet-cleaning gangs to s'plek up" after thoughtleas persons. So these cans remain to rust away or, in the case of bottles, to become 2 hazard.

PUTNAM PARK: HISTORIC sPoA
(Bridgeport Times-starl

Bridgeport Times-Star)
 The spot in the town of Bedding where General Israel Putnam and hi Continental soldiers camped onl winter, during the War of the RevoL ution, is one of the points of his toric interest in Fairfield county For many years. it has been a public park and playground. and hundred of pinickers from all of the sur. rounding towns, including Bridge port. have visited it.
 The action of Governor fIurle, in appointing four new members tc the Putnam Memorial Park and Camp Ground commission calls pub. lic attention to a curious bit of gerry manderlng regarding Putnam parl all these years. For reasons bes known to the politicians who wcri running the show ln the old days the Bedding park was administered as q separate entity, and was nc tied Into the program Of the stat park ard forest commission.

 Most of the Axis agents are Hooking to Southern Chile, where there is a large German colony. From Bolivia alone two train loads of Axis agents left for Africa, in northern Chile, where they board- ed a Japanese ship chartered to take them to Valdina, in the South. This concentration in southern Chile is not disturbing authorities and they are doing nothing to stop 1t. The region is remote, easily isolated and it is broadly hinted that 1t may be made a sort of concentration camp under military guard.
 It can also be revealed that in addition to the original black list of 1900 names, there is an- other containing 4,50O.
 When these names will be pub- lished depends on secret investi. gations now under way both in the U. s. and Latin America by Commerce Department experts. Secretary Jesse Jones has or- dered that particular attention be given to the shipment of U. s. goods packed and labelled to re- semble German products to Nad firms in Latin America. Many of them have done a thriving busi- ness in this merchandise, turn ing over the profits for Axis lnachinations.
 The blasting effect of the two economic warfare bombshells is graphically revealed in the con- fidential cables.

RACEIRA(kDRAMA NOW SHOWING AT |. CAPITOL THEATRE
Robert Young, Maureen 0'SuIIivan in Romantic
 Leads Sporting Blood

Thrills of the race track and powerful romance are combinsd acutely to make Sporting Blood, ' which opens tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre, one of the most pleas ing and satisfying pictures of the year.
 The picture is primarily story of the sport of kings with many excellent scenes showing pulse quickening races. gripping training methods as a horse is cured of Q habit of holding back, and one of the most exciting stable fires ever put on the screen.
 Over and above this is a beauti- full story of romance under dif- ficulty. The romance teams Robert Young and Maureen O'Sullivan, a combination that should be con tinued. Young plays young owner of small racing stable who re- turns to his Virginia home to find that he is still hated by the Lock wood family which comprises Lewis Stone as the father and Miss O. Sullivan and Lynne Carver as the daughters.

 Starting with murder and sev- cral other exciting and strange hap penings on Paulette's floor in her hctel, the thrills continue aboard ship where more threats and warn ings are received, and someone tries to kill Paulette-but Bob saves her. Tn the horrible, haunted castle guarded by a weird old woman and her zombie son sliding panels, floating wraiths, mysterious moans and noises, provide a spine-tingling atmosphere building up to sensa- tional climax.

In preparing for the 1941 tax roll, covering real ana personal property, the City of Juneau vii: mail more than 1,200 forms to resi- cent property owners, and it is cer- tain that some individuals liable for taxes will be missed. It is net unusually difficult to obtain com rlete list of the owners of real e tate, but to enroll all of the owners of personal property who should gay taxes is almost impossible.
 Every person, firm, or corpora ten owning personal property is llable for taxes, and only the heads of households are entitled to ex- emption in the sum of $200. In orr der to compile as accurate per- sonal property tax list, all who come within that classification, and who do not receive a form. are urged by the City authorities to call at the City Clerks office, or contact the Tax Assessor, from whom forms may be obtained.

Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1941-07-03
WHAT rs TO BECOME
TOWN OF MASON CITY?

What is to become Of Mason City,
the contractors town of the Grand
Coulee Dam project. is a question that
has been on the lips of many of our
citizens.
Consolidated Builders, Inc, ontrac-
tors for the completion of the dam,
are on the last lap of their work; be-
fore the end of this year it is antlcl-
lpated, the Obi will have finished the
Job; have left the area.
A partial answer to the question
was given by Supervising Engineer
Frank A Banks of the L. S. Reclama-
ton Service. Engineer Banks lndl-
Gated the Bureau will take over just as
soon as the contractor pulls out. The
bunkhouses will be RACED it is expect
| ed and in their place electric switch
yards will be constructed,
The theatre, hospital, recreation hall
store, hotel, coffee shop, will become
concessions and will be leased by tl.s
government responsible parties. Re-
portedly the supply of houses in en-
gineer's town is inadequate that gov
eminent workers already are taking up
accommodations in Mason City.
That Mason City will still be crowd
ed was further indicated. There are
more than eleven hundred government
workers OH the project at this time,
and Mr.. Banks expressed the opinion
this figure will not measurably dec
rease for some time.
