In the first place he doesn’'t need them since he was re-elected last year in the face of the Roosevelt land- Islide by a majority so large that 12,000 votes mean little. That LBasque colony is highly cherished in Idaho and be it truly said they live with vigor, save earnestly and spend wisely. | HARDENED LOT The Basques and Borah moved in on Idaho at about the same |time so have sort of gréwn up to- ! gether, although Borah took to politics and the Basques to sheep raising. A Much of Spain is high and bar- ren and living is tough but these ISpanish Basques were hardened to ’the desert ways. It is true their careful living crowded some na- tives out of the sheep business, but it also must be recorded that few of them are found on,railroad sec- tion gangs and still fewer on re- lief. They go in for fine homes in the Spanish style and are clannish to a fair degree, but natives who can fathom their way of life share lib- erally in their business. They dance so hard their men are sous- will serve as first prizes for the contests. . The tickets are furnished through the courtesy of C.

VPSRRI Seattle Star 1o Resume Printing Paper_T omorrow Management Warns “We Have Begun to Fight” —Police to Protect SEATTLE, July 8-—The Seattle Star, strikebound since last Satur- day as a result of a jurisdictional dispute between the Teamsters Un- lon and the circulation employees union affiliations, prepared today to “do some fighting on its own be- half” and resume publication to- morrow. With Mayor Dore promising full | police protection to disperse the picket line, the Star ownership plans to bring more than 200 full- time employees back to work. The Central Labor Council adopted a resolution condemning “this illegal strike.” The CIO from Washing- ton telegraphed full support. The management sreved notice “on whomsoever may attempt Fri- day or in the future to keep the newspaper from publishing, we have just begun to fight.” POLICE BREAK PICKET LINE SEATTLE, July 8. — E. M. Scripps, youthful head of the Scripps league of newspapers, among them the Seattle Star, said he has accepted the resignation of Rod Brink, as Editor-in-Chief, and announced republication of the Star tomorrow. Resuming of publication, however, appeared doubtful after J. M. Lit- onious, head of the Typographical Union said the union had advised the printers they need ot go to work, despite promises of police protection. At noon today two dozen police- men were dispatched to the Star's plant on Seventh Street and or- dered to clear away the pickets. The police arrived at the plant and moved the Newspaper Guild picket line about 70 feet across the street and out of the alley. There was no disorder.

Because Dean Driscoll, the law- yer, is plump and cocky they cen- ter their attentions on him and make him drink glass for glass with them of straight whiskey. By slyly eating bread along with the whiskey (some of the Basques keep him supplied as part of the fun), he has always managed to rise from the table under his own pow- er while the Basques, taking their whiskey neat, have gone down fighting. o B ) ¢ B A3 | R D Guy Smith | DRUGS PUROLA REMEDIES PRESCRIPTIONS CARE- FULLY COMPOUNDED Next Coliseum PHONE 97—Free Delivery Front Street PHONE 36 For very prompt LIQUOR DELIVERY | — b | | | | i 1 | TOM GIROLER FIGHTING CI0_ AND SAYS 0 Tells Senate Committee He Will Not Sign Any Treaty of Peace (Continued trom Page One) with Little Steel, of which Gird~ ler's Republic is one element, n GUESSWORK It is hazarding a gHess without too much support that meeting the wage levels set for Big Steel is proving somewhat of @ competitive burder on Little Steel. Big Steel, traditionally strong and better able to bear high labor costs, wouldn't necessarily mourn for Little Steel, in such a case.
