MTSSRS. SWI NG A N d
GRUNSKY ASSN RE ID
OF SUPPORT FOR COL
ORADO PROJECT BILL
FROM LEAGUE OFF,
GALS
Attorney For District to
Meet With Yuma Water
Users and Outline Plans
of Irrigation District For
Mutual Benefit

Phil Swing, attorney for the irri-
cation district, and C E. Grunsky,
consulting engineer, will appear be-
fore the Yuma Water Users Associa-
tion and the League of the Southwest
to seek support of the districts bill
for a unified Colorado irrigation pro-
ject on their way to Washington.
They are already assured of support
from certain officers Of the league.
Attorney Swing will leave tonight
for Yuma. He will be joined by Engi-
neer Grunsky in that city tomorrow,
and will ask that the directors of the
Yuma Water Users association be
called together for the purpose of
outlining the purposes of the bill, and
to clear up any misunderstanding
which might have arisen since the
first meetings were called here.
From Yuma the two officials will
proceed to Tucson, to attend the meet
ing of the League of the Southwest,
formed at San Diego a few months
ago. They will ask the endorsement of
the proposed bill before that body.
A. l.. Richmond, vice president Of
the league, will not be able to at
tend the meeting. He stated. this
morning that he had corresponded
with President Kleinsmid, of the
league, at Tucson, on the subject Of
the bill, and found that Kleinsmid IA
vored the enactment of the proposed
legislation, and promised aid to the
Imperial valley delegation when it
arrived.
President Leroy Holt of the irriga-
tion district will join Grunsky and
Swing in Washington when his pres
ence is absolutely necessary. He is SO
tied up to his desk here that it is al
most impossible for him to attend the
conferences at Yuma and Tucson.
"I believe that great good will co..
of the meeting with the Yuma people.
and with the League of the South
west" Mr.. Holt said today.
"We want to explain to the water
users in Yuma our stand in regard to
this proposed bill, and to show them
that the proposed bill is broad in its
scope, and will benefit the Yuma pro-
ject in many ways. We want them to
cooperate with US in perfecting a
great unified irrigation project trib-
utary to the Colorado river"

COUNTRY FLOODS
WASHINGTON WITH
NEGATIVE IDEAS ON
THE ORDER CLOSING
TORIES FIVE
DAYS
Employers Throughout the
Region Are Asked to Pay
Employees During Idle
ness as Patriotic Duty
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Jan. II. - Congress
and the White House was today flood
e dwith protests against the fuel con-
servation order closing industrial
plants east of the Mississippi, includ-
ing Louisiana and Minnesota for five
days and providing for the observance
Of Monday as holiday for ten weeks
thereafter. This order includes muni-
tions plants and excerpts only food in
dustries and those requiring continu-
GUS operation to maintain business.
Under the plan the government will
buy coal consigned to suspend in
dustries. The treasury will handle
transactions involving an outlay of
twenty-five millions. The state fuel
administrators will redistribute coal
to excepted industries.
The order does not include natural
gas or wood as fuel, nor power de-
rived from water. It is understood
that excepting when necessary, war
industries may get more liberal an al
lowance than at first announced.
Fuel Administrator Garfield will
probably appeal to employers to con-
tinue the pay of employees during idle
ness as patriotic duty.
The railroad administration report
ed that the cold weather reduced coal
movements today between the Appa-
lachians and Mississippi less than at
any time within q week.

BASEBALL SQUAD
GETTING IN TRIM

Baseball prospects at Central have
again declined and as quickly doomed
Charley Sahney will probably not
pitch for Central this year. This
sad news received by the High School
was followed by the cheering news
that the strong Imperial High team,
Valley champions every year previ-
GUS, have lost several of their stars
from last year.
From the close call that Ell Cen
tro gave their neighbors last season,
prospects point to tough fight this
year.
Holtville High, from the dope
available, will not present as strong
q lineup as last year.
Calexico will certainly give any
team in the Valley hard fight, al
though they have also lost by gradu-
alton.
Brawley is dark horse at pres
ent, although the team was weak last
season.
Central has lost star pitcher in
Amos Chick, now in the service OF
Uncle Sam, but Baker is considered
as a strong man to fill his place at
the mound.
Conn, a new man at High School,
looms as a distinct possibility at the
backstop end. Douglas will probably
hold down his regular position, while
Buckley looks strong for some of the
other infield positions.
/ In the outfield, Sears is the only
remainder from last year, but there
will undoubtedly be some close compe
tition fro mthe ranks of the new ma
terial.
