BOARD LISTENS
To REPORT Of
ALLISON SHAW

The Washington committee rendered
its report to the board of directors Of
the Imperial irrigation district Tues
day.
President j. s. Nickerson of the
board called the melting to order and
asked to hear from J. c. Allison Of
Calexico, stating he would hear from
Mr.. Allison first as he had come back
first Mr.. Allison attempted to read
report prepared by F. s. Lack Of
Brawley, and himself containing their
versions of the state of affairs and
proceeded so far as to say the commit
tee failed in its object.
Mr. Nickerson then stated the board
did not care for recommendations but
merely desired report at this time.
Mr. Allison then read the minutes Of
the committee up to the time Mr.. Lack
and he resigned. The meeting was ad-
journed until after dinner
Mr.. Shaw presented his report after
lunch. 1t dealt with the committees
activities in Washington and contained
nothing that the committee had not
previously reported to the board. At
its conclusion Walter kibbey brought
up the preferential right to soldiers
amendment and this was discussed
thoroughly and then endorsed.
Most of the morning session was
consumed by the reading fthe re
port of the Valley Washington com
mittee on their activities in the Nation
al capital. The various expressions Of
opinion of prominent officials connect
ed with the offices of the Secretary
of State, the Reclamation Service, the
Department of War, and other depart
ments were INDICATIVE of the keenest
interest in the solving of Imperial val
leys water problem.
In many instances, however the
opinions given were personal and
could not be construed as official. for
this reason it has been suggested that
in order to avoid any embarrassment
on the part Of any one concerned that
the newspapers refrain from publish
ing any direct statements made by
Washington officials.
The report shows without question
of a doubt the desire Of these men to
assist the valley and to be fully in
fo IN tho ci+1arior7 baVa
Equally noticeable through the re
port was the cooperation Of the seven
valley committeeman to reach unan-
imous decision on some one definite
plan of action. At times there appear
ed to be a slight difference of opin-
ion but taken as a whole the report
shows the honest effort of seven men
to unite their strength on one propO-
sition, viz, the present Kettner bills.

MIR Swing. Yes,
Mr.. yelling. Is Mexico supplied will
water from this system?
Mr.. Swing. Yes; absolutely. And as
to Volcano Lake levee and the sugges-
ton that Mexicans might cut 1t, you
might list as we'll suggest that they
would cut their own throat. The very
first place it would hit Go Cantu
capital; and the whole city of MeXicali
would be wiped out; it is hanging right

you neglect this poriect, the project

Mr.. Swing. We have put about ST.

Mr. Swing. Yes, sir: lots of money
has been spent on it.

the aid of diversion dam.
The people of the Imperial valley
have done all in their power to meet
this new problem. In 1916 they employ

could get-Mr. George G. Anderson, of
Denver, and Mr.. c. E. Grunsky of San
Francisco-and, on their recommends

S2.500,000 in constructing new re-

VOLUNTEERSFLOCK INTO BRITISH ARMY
Special Bonus and Acute In- dustrial Situation Incen-
 tives to Recruiting
By Associated Press


 London, February 15.-(Correspohdencc of The Associated Press.) .)-Thousands of the British army who recently became so war weary that they openly threatened mutiny unless they were soon discharged. have turned about face and are volun- teering for the new army, according to the military authorities, who asserA that they are satisfied that there will be lit- tie difficulty in securing the 9lo,0o0 men who will do Great Britain's share in safe guarding the peace the allies have won
 The causes said to have sent the men Hooking back to the colors are the un- expectedly large war bonuses offered to men who take on and the acute indus trial situation. The first factor has been of prime importance in the case of boys from IS to 21 who have been two or more years already in the army and who have no trade to fall back upon in civilian life. In the new army they will be fed, clothed and sheltered and draw a minimum of about 5 a week as pock- ct money. They have quickly awakened to the realization that there is no such prospect awaiting them on a return to ''civies."
 The industrial upheaval plays the main part in the decision of the older men. In the first rush for demobiilzation no man was permitted to go who had not A definite offer of employment. The government did all in its power to make certain that such offers were bona fide but in spite of every precaution thousands of men got their release on bogus papers. These men soon found themselves in an unenviable position. They could not get work and they faced some very uncomfortable inquiries if they applied for the out-of-work pay provided for those who are idle through no fault of their own. The recruiting sergeant was an easy road out of tnelf troubles and that astute individual, who draws a bonus for each recruit, was not blind to his opportunities.
 third factor of minor but real ln- portance is the fact that numbers Of men who haveAbeen home on liberal leave since the armistice was signed have dls- covered that they are not nearly so hap6y out of khaki as they imagined they would be- They frankly admit that they miss the companionship of the army, the lack of responsibility and the easy hours. Now that the war is over the army is resting on it's laurels, and in the great camps around England work is confined to one hours parade day with football games, paper chases and other sports to fill in the remainder or inc time. That is d considerable con- trast to eight or nine hours of monoto- nous toll in a shop or factory.
 The army authorities have not so Tar made public any figures on recruiting but some indication is offered by the

SHOP STEWARDS

New System Outgrowth of War Conditions and Is h. dependent of the Trade
 Union Movement
By Associated Press

London, February 15.-Recent labor troubles in Great Britain have been popularly laid at the door of the "shop stewards movement in the face of the fact that outside the immediate labor world very few people ever before .heard of shop stewards, much less of tsthe movement engineered by them te force their demands by sudden strikes and industrial paralysis-a system which the stewards are pleased to call 'direct action"
 The shop stewards movement was a creation of the war, and in the last four years several causes have com bined to give the stewards a position of great importance, particularly in the engineering trades.
 From the passage of the munitions act in 1915 union customs were sus- pended, and at the same time problems arose which demanded close attention within the shop. Detailed questions of new processes, piece work (to which in the engineering trades the unions had been unalterably opposed) raised is
