readily to her singing than to al.
most any other treatment. Certain
songs, Miss Ayers has discovered,
appear to have a more beneficial
effect than others.
Il have to begin with the softer,
Quieter melodies" she says. ANY
thing spirited or ragtime seems
to brighten the men at first, Just
as any loud, sudden noise does. I
start in with things like Just q
Baby's Prayer at Twilight Little
Buttercup,' Little Gray Home in
the West and lullabies of any kind.
AS the boys condition improves We
go on to other songs, and soon
most of the patients are singing
with me.
Il believe that in the colleges
this sort of thing is called "musico
therapy,' though l discovered 1t by
accident. Some OF the boys have
had very little treatment except
music, and are recovering fast"
Novel as this use of entertain
ment Is, it is pronounced highly es-
sention by army officers. and one
of them, besides commencing Miss
Ayers for her work. has ordered
this song treatment" for all the
shellshock cases In his command.
This is one reason why the "Y" has
called for 375 more entertainers to
go overseas. The hospitals need
them almost as much as tbs .Aee

a loss on crop he could only sue
the mutual company which was Obli
gated to serve him with water, and if
he got a judgment against that COM
pany it would only be judgment
which he and his neighbors would have
to pay, and probably the mutual wat
err company would not be liable, as it
could deliver only such water as it re-
ceived from the Mexican corporation,
and this mutual company could get
nowhere with suit because it neither
owned land or crops. Therefore it's
case in court would be only case to
secure nominal damages, and to get
that it would have to go into Mexico
where the company, with which it had
a contract, existed.
The first step in the scheme to de-
fraud American citizens and rob them
of their birthright to use the waters
of an American stream in rcclaiming
American alnds to make American
homes, was contract which, on Dec
ember 28, 1900-this was before there
was any water drought in Imperial
Valley--these promoters caused their
American corporation, the California;
Deelopment Co., to execute in favor
Imperial Valley press., 1919-09-08
Glad to Try Anything

American laws and courts, transported
the water through Mexico and back
to various points of advantage on the
boundary line, where the water was
sold and delivered on such terms as it
chose to make.
The question of who should buy the
water, however, was not left to chance.
On the contrary, the California De-
velopment Co., with an eye to it's own
interests, in advance of the arrival of
the actual settlers, organized various
mutual water companies, each with its
own locality to serve, put in dummy di-
rectors to bind their companies and
their stockholders to be the future
settlers, by executing whatever con-
tracts the promoters desired. In every
instance these mutual companies were
required to enter contracts to buy
their water perpetually from the Mex
lean company, and from no other
source. Also the water companies were
compelled for inadequate consideration
to turn over their entire capital stock
to the California Development Co.,
which, having monopoly, required
all water users to buy stock in some
one of these mutual companies. To
the settlers it sold the stock at the
highest obtainable price.
The mutual water companies were
also organized as a convenience and
protection to the promoters. 1t saved
them the friction and annoyance of
having TO deal with the individual wa
ter user by making these former or
ganizations responsible for the colec-
ton Of the water rentals from the
settlers. Then, too, the mutual water
companies were used as buffer be-
tween the actual water user and the
supplying corporation to enable the
latter to further avoid any liability
from loss from possible water short
ages. The reason for that is that nei
ther the California Deelopment Co.
nor the Mexican Co. made any con-
tract with the water user direct; they
only dealt with the mutual companies.

Statement of Mr.. Phil. ID. Swing.

Statement of MIR. Phil. ID. Swing.
Mr.. Swing. Mr.. Chairman, | went to
Imperial Valley in 1907 and have liv-
ed there continuously ever since. From
1907 to 1911 was deputy district at
torney of the county; from 1911 to
1915 | was elected and held the office
of district attorney of the county; and
since 1916 l have been attorney for
the Imperial irrigation district. Every
thing l own and posses, and all hope
to own and possess is centered in I'M
perial Valley.
Mr.. Kettner. Knowing Mr.. Swing
as I do, l want to state what he is
too modest to state that just recent
ly he has been selected by the governor
of the State of California and appoint
ed as superior judge of Imperial
County.
The Chairman. The reporter will
note the fact, and we congratulate
Mr.. Swing
Mr.. Swing. would like to state
to the members of this committee
that this is not real estate scheme,
nor any promoters proposition we
are submitting. We represent the
plain American farmers of the I'M
perial Valley, who are fighting for
their homes and chance to live.
Imperial Valley lies in the Salton
Sea Basin in the southeastern corner
of the State of California. This basin
is ITO miles long by 40 miles wide.
The southeastern portion of the ba-
sin sloping from the international line
to the Salton Sea is called Imperial
Valley. The northwestern portion be-
yond Salton Sea is known as Coachella
Valley. This country, although of ex-
ceedingly rich and fertile soil, was
formerly barren desert for lack of
water, the rainfall being very light
some years less than l inch.
In 1898 the California Development
Co., a private corporation, was organ
lied to exploit the possibilities of re-
claiming this land by diverting and
conveying the waters of the olorado
River into the valley. AS result of
| its efforts water was first brought
into Imperial Valley for irrigation in
1901. Development followed rapidly
Imperial Valley press., 1919-09-08

and for time success seemed to
crown the undertaking beyond the
widest dreams of it's promoters. The
connection of these early promoters
with Imperial Valley was ended in
1906, when, as a result of their short
sighted policy in spending insufficient
money to provide ordinary safeguards
for their intake, they lost control of
the Colorado and allowed the whole
river to break through into Imperial
Valley. The Southern Pacific rail-
road, to protect it's own investments,
then took control of the company and
operated the system until 1909, when
a receiver was appointed. At the re-
ceiver's sale in 1916 the people Of the
valley purchased the system as mat
ter of elf-defense and to prevent their
sole source of water from falling into
the hands of any private concern. The
price was $3,OOO,000,
Mr.. Sinnott. Will you tell us just
what brought you there?
Mr.. Swing indicating on map).
They bought the Hanlon ranch which
consists of piece of property facing
the west bank og the river, adjoining
the boundary line on the American
side. They bought the intake structure
machinery, and equipment there; they
bought such portions of the system as
lay in Imperial County north of the
boundary line, and the canal known
as Central Main, about 20 miles long,
and west of said main, rs miles long.
They bought whatever water rights
the former concern had, and they
bought all the stock in the Mexican
Co. which was operating the system
south of the line.
Mr.. Sinnott. Was that purchase
made by your irrigation district?
Mr.. Swing. Yes; it was purchas-
ed by us in this way: We having moth
ing but bonds which were of uncertain
marketable value, we entered into a
contract with the Southern Pacific,
whereby the Southern Pacific agreed
to bid the property in at whatever
price we stated, we being present at
the sale an directing their bidding,
and they were to take our bonds for
the price of which they bid in the sys-

their grievances, the Judge said:
Every time you men walk out as
you have done in the last 10 days you
are violating contract between you
and the Government and giving
unionism a black eye. You are en-
barrassing your officials in their eff
forts to carry out their agreement"
The investigation was started yes

packers who complained to the Judge
that the union men were not living up
to the wage and working conditions
