Mr.. Cronholm gives the condition
since 1916 and forecasts those for two
years to come. In his report, which is

their outcry, after the Imperial valley
begins to take water exclusively from

use all the water in the river" said
Mr.. Nickerson. "Our experience with

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The pro-
position of collective bargaining and
the closed shop were among the twelve
fundamental principles outlined by the
group representing capital and were
presented today at TIE national indus
trial conference.
Sympathetic strikes and blacklists
and boycotts were declared to be inde-
fensble and socially immoral. Whine
deplc.ing strikes and lockouts, the
principles set forth that the right to
strike or lockout should not be de-
MED as the ultimate resort after all
possible means of adjustment have
been exhausted. This right however,
they believed, should apply only to
private property.
In public utility services it is pro-
posed that the state impose such regu-
Iations as will insure continuous oper-
ations at the same time. IN providing
to strikes of government employees
lhe principles also expressed lhe opln-
ion that the right of such employees
to be heard and secure just redress
be amply safesuarded
For the settlement of disputes in
private industry it was proposed that
each establishment be regarded as an
industrial unia with adequate machin-
cry for adjustment of misunderstood
ings between the employees ard The
