LABOR BEHIND WAR
SAYS GOMPERS IN

Workers of America Determined That

(By Associated Press)

St.. Paul, June 1O.-"Autocracy,
militariem and it's most dangerous
supporting weagon, irresponsible di-
plomacy, must perish; democracy,
Justice, freedom and absolute conf
dence between governments and peo-
pies must be established and tri-
umph,' is the verdict of American
labor upon the war, as expressed to-
day in the report of President Sam
uel Gompers and the executive coun-
Gil of the American Federation of
Labor to the annual convention in
session here.
"Workers in war production are
practically a part of the fighting
force,' the report declared. "No ac-
ton should be taken in the shops or
en- the field not in harmony with the
purposes of the war. No strike
should be inaugurated which, cannot
be justified to the man risking his
wife on the firing line n France.
"a crisis in world affairs has been
reached. The battle lines of our al
lies in France are menaced by the
forces that represent autocratic gov
ernment. Each day and hour of the
coming months will hold in fateful
balance the destiny of the govern
ments and the people representing the
ideals which bring into being and
maintain governments directed by the
peoples themselves.
america was drawn into this world
war by the challenge of those auto
cratic forces which enthrone might
as their chief aim. With the growth
of achievements of our republic, this
nation has stood as beacon light to
all oppressed peoples of the earth.
Our institutions have radiated to the
remotest parts of the globe concep-
tions of government guided and
maintained by the will of it's peo-
pies"

# YOU WANT
WORKERS,APPLY
To j. s. AGENT
-W.S.S.-

Farmers are urged to lose no time
in applying to the office of the U.
S. Federal Employment Bureau at
Ell Centre, if they desire laborers this
season, according to statement IS
sued today by D. c. Bitter, county
development and labor agent. The
statement says:
"The federal and state employment
services are endeavoring to do all pos
sible to relieve the, threatened farm
labor shortage this season. In order
to ascertain the needs in the various
communities, all farmers requiring
helpers are urgently requested to
make application at the offices of the
free federal employment bureau. A
branch of this service is to be found
at 62S Main street, Ell Centre. Upon
the report of the shortage of labor
ers in this county made by the local
manager of the bureau, Mr.. Warren,
depends the supply that will be forth
coming from this source. Therefore,
the sooner the farmers apply to the
bureau, the more certain is the serv-
ice likely to be effective at the time
of real need 1t is known that there
is a decided scarcity of labor in the
Imperial Valley at this time. 1t will
be much worse, from all indications.
The situation is practically the same
throughout the country. We must
make our wants known to the gov
.ernment employment bureau without
delay so that this Valley will be con-
sidered prominently and favorably in
the distribution of labor this summer.
Some of the help obtained at once by
applying to the Employment Bureau
may not be as satisfactory as de-
sired, but it helps to relieve the situ-
alton, and failure on the part of the
local branch of the federal bureau
to supply men serves to show the
Washington office the great need for
men here. Consequently, we are like
ly to get bigger share of the short
supply of labor in the country, if we
speak now. If the farmers need men
now or in the near future, it will pay
them in the end to record their wants
at the Ell Centre office at once"

MYSTERY VISIT OF
SEC. F0MENT0, TO
imp PER|AL VALLEY
Mystery Surrounds Visit at This Time
of SenOr Pastor, Rouaix. Mexican
Secretary of FOmento-RumOr Has
1t That He Will Investigate Land
Concessions.
-'S'S'A-
~. 8 s.

The early coming to Calexico of
Senior Pastor Rouaix, minister of TO-
mento of the Republic of Mexico, has
been the cause of much speculation as
to the reasons behind his visit. For
man of his position to travel the
distance from Mexico City to Mexi-
cali, there must be some good rea-
son. 1t is known locally that in March
there was printed in Mexico City a
statement to the effect that Minister
Rouaix was stirred because of the
exploitation of large bodies of land
in Lower California, for which conces-
sions had been granted py previous
Mexican administrations.
Four such concessions have been
cancelled recently, and another harsh
ly condemned by Senor Rouaix. The
four cancelled concessions are those
formerly belonging to Luis Huller,
the Bulle concession, that of Flores
Hale, and another to Pablo Macedo.
The fifth large landholding and the
one which was harshly criticised, is
that of Guillermo Andrade, compris-
ing most of the C-M ranch.
Senor Rouaix's criticisms brings
forth many surmises, but local peopl
do not understand his judgment
against this property, because of the
claim that Guillermo Andrade did not
receive concession, but bought the
land outright. They believe that Sem
or Rouaix must know this and that
the statement from the Mercurio will
prove to have been an error upon the
part of the author.
But the fact that the statement
was given to the public so shortly
previous to the secretarys trip to
this region is cause for the belief
that there is some connection between
the disputed land question and his
visit. The Mercurio article was
printed in Mexico City on March 16
and was recently republished in the
Cronista, local Mexican publica-
ton.

RURAL DISTRICTS

-W.S.S.-

"Some of the rural districts are
certainly giving the towns run in
the war savings stamp pledge drive" !"
said County Chairman A. l.. Rich
mond, in discussing the progress of
the campaign.
"There are several instances of
oversubscription in districts that the
committee had not at first counted
strongly upn. For instance, INLAND
turned in a heavy oversubscription,
with the threat of making a complaint
that the quota was originally too low
Calipatria made a good showing by
going $1,000 over its subscription
quota, and in the case of the West
Side school districts the results were
rather startling. Seeley district, it
is recalled, was assigned a quota of
$4,000 The total turned in so far
is $14,115, and we are advised that
some of the workers from other dis

Washington, June 10.-The Ameri-

a German submarine 70 miles off the
coast of Maryland Saturday morning.
A brief dispatch to the Navy Depart
.ment last night announcing the sink
ing did not say whether the ship was

Until Saturday night the raiders had
not been reported as showing them

Vinland was sunk off the Virginia
capes last Wednesday evening at 6
o'clock.
The Pinar del Rio was a freighter
of 2504 gros stonnage, and was built
in South Shields, England, in 1895,
being christened the Saba. She was
bought by an American firm some
time ago and placed under American
registry. 1t is assumed here she was
engaged in the coastwise or West In
