ExDccts 10 Visit West soon.


one of the subjects discussed at to-
DAYS conference was the projected
visit of Rockefeller. ir.. to the Colo
RADIO mine fields. 1t is planned that
this visit shall be made within
month or two and Rockefeller VIII
meet the workingmen on the ground
and discuss with them their griev-
ances.
As he informed Mother" Jones at
his conference with her on Wednes-
day Mr.. Rockefeller told his callers
today that he agreed in principle with
most of the demands which have been
presented in behalf of the men, hut
that he would have 10 consider all the
local conditions before committing
himself to any measures looking TO
wholesale remedies.
Mother Jones "backslid' a little
during the day, however. At the noon
recess of the industrial commission the
militant high priestess of the Colorado
mine workers issued a statement IN
which she said among other queer
things:
Wants Action at Once.
Good intentions are all right as
paving blocks, but what we want Is
performance-and we want IL new.
l don't believe Mr. Rockefeller under
stands the needs and aspirations OF
derstand and if he is sincere he would
realize that the new scheme for meet
ing his men in Colorado is sham ana
a fraud. He is letting the workers
elect one representative at each mine
and those delegates are to meet with
the company officials In Denver
They have no organization behind
them. They are absolutely poWerless
to enforce any just demand. Ihey
have no treasury. The operators could
put over anything thew pleased anc II
the men tried to resist by the only
means in their pOwer-a strike-they
would be starved out in a week.
$50 far Mr.. Rockefeller has given
only lip service TO democracy in indus
try. His new plan in Colorado mas
querades as a basis for collective bar
galn ming. IL is the shadow and not the
substance"

Brawey News: There goes the
record, smashed to flinders! The to-
tai shipments of cantaloupes from
Brawley have reached the figure Of
4,357 cars. Last years shipments for
the entire season only totaled ABS.
It is estimated that at least 300 more
cars will be shipped this year, before
the season is finally pronounced closed.
But cantaloupes are not the only
product of Imperial Valley to break
shipping records. Last year 20 cars
of tomatoes were shipped from Braw-
lev. This season, 81 cars have rolled
down the valley from this city, with
the prospect of more to come.
Watermelons, too, took squirt and
are far ahead of former records. Last
wear the total number of cars shipped
was 455. Already this season, CAT cars
of these delicious melons have been
billed out of Brawley, also 4 cars Of

WITNESS IN ROSS
CASE DISAPPEARS
LOST-The States star witness in t.lt
Charles Ross case.

The witness in question, 14-year-
old Willie Patton, left for San Diego
Tuesday night, suddenly, unexpected
ly and without warning. Wherefore,
the sheriff's force are looking for him
and have issued warning to the po-
lice at San Diego, whence young Pat
ton has fled.
On the night of the exodus of the
witness, Deputy Sheriff Sam Johnson
was apprised of the contemplated he
gira and after he had investigated
found that Willie had boarded a truck
some time earlier in the evening and
was bound for San Diego.
He gave chase, found the truck near
Coyote Wells, where it had broken
down and been abandoned by the pas
sengers, and then drove to Mountain
Springs.
!, There he found that the boy had
caught an automobile, stopped for 4
few minutes at Mountain Springs and
continued on toward the coast. The
lead gained by the ear in which Pat.
ton was passenger was 50 great that
the officers gave up the chase and re
turned.
The disappearance of the witness is
not as great misfortune as it might
have been, for the district attorney
office is in possession of Patton's
deposition, taken some time ago.
Young Patton, although virtually \
prisoner at the county jail, has en-
joyed all his past privileges and more
since he was brought here from I'M
perial. At first he ventured not far
from the sheriff's office, but later, as
he grew more accustomed to the place,
he strayed onto the streets, where he
earned some money doing odd pieces
Of work for the various stage con-
erns.
The Ross preliminary will be held
next week and it is probable that the
San Diego police will take the missing
witness into custody in time to appear
at the hearing.
