 BY COMMERCIAL CAPTAINS
Hundred and Fifty Members of Los Angeles Chamber Of Commerce Viewing the Wonder land of the Great Southwest and getting acquaint- ed with Its Busy People.

came down the line to El Centro, the county seat, and it's arrival was greet ed with music by the El Centro band The visitors had dinner on the train, and then were escorted to the Holt Opera House to get acquainted with the people of El- Centro.
 In Dixie Land
 The opera house stage had been transformed into cotton field. A forest of trees-not little insignificant bushes-covered with snowy bolls, hid the back drop and the wings, and placards told the visitors that they were in California Dixie, away down south in the land of cotton
 Los Angeles expects to have big cotton mill soon, and the Fl Centro Texans will see that it doesn't stop for lack of raw material. When the Angelenos come again next year, they may drive through a thousand-acre field of growing cotton and perhaps see four or five thousand bales piled up ready for shipment to their mill
 President J. Stanley Brown of the El Centro Chamber of Commerce well comed the Los Angeles men to the busiest town in the reclaimed desert, and the Fl Centro orchestra, led by Prof. Scarpa, made music for them. They all agreed that it was good music, too.
 At the time of going to press, the visitors were telling what they thought of Imperial Valley and getting ac- quainted with El Centro's business men. Today they go to Calexico and the railroad front, and return to Ell Centro at noon, when they will be asked to walk up to the new Holton building, take a bite of cold turkey and few other vailey products and see what sort of garden truck is raised down this way. Tonight the citizens of Imperial receive the visit ors in Water Company hall.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 4.-As a re-
suit of the sweeping anti-boycott de-
cision handed down by the supreme
court of the United States, a move
1nent has already started among the
manufacturers on the unfair" list of
the American Federation of Labor to
petition the president for relief. 1t is
pointed out by them that the presi-
dent in his message recently sent to
congress declared he would enforce
the law against labor unions as quick
Nv as against corporations if they VIC
lated the laws. 1t is said that if the
law as interpreted by the supreme
court is enforced against the Fedora,
ton of Labor the organization would
speedily be wrecked financially.
