to talk about plenty of food forsal and industrial
peace, it becomes time for the workers to tell
them few things.
One of their latest bulletins tells us that
earnest cooperation in every field of human en-
deavor with Uncle Sam standing by to see that
fair play is given to all alike, will quickly open
the gates to happiness and a new prosperity. 1t
means food and raiment in abundance for all class

which heretofore have arisen from labor troubles
and the establishment of an enduring peace be-
tween employers and employees a
prosperity in West Virginia. g
Who said that Uncle Sam stands by to see
that fair play is given to all alike? In West Vir-
ginia, Federal troops are being used as a strike
breaking agency and not for the protection OF the
citizens of the State. The mine owners employed
gunmen and thugs and detective-agencies to spy
on and shoot down American miners who WERE !
NOT SATISFIED WITH THE SPLENDID CON-
DITIONS THAT THEY HAVE TO WORK UN-
DER - the prosperity we hear so much about
from the America First Publicity Ass. In Colors
ado, the government troops were ordered out dur
ing the trolley strike in Denver, because the men
went on strike and refused to let scabs take their
jobs. In the brass strike in Connecticut, troops
were on hand at once, because the workers were !.
earning SO much money that they went on strike Z
for wages and hours that would make it possible
for them merely to live decently. When, the port
workers went on strike in Galveston. Federal
troops were called out to budoze the workers.
In the steel strike the government got "in-
side" information about what was going on among
the workers BY MEANS OF SPIES WEAK
NED WORKERS AND DETECTIVE AGEN-
CIES! In the railroad strike, the government sud.
denly became "law-abiding" and took the part OF q

Delegation Appears Before
Supervisors for Addition

ton Impossible at Present
Time, Says Beal.

A delegation from Brawley appear
ed before the Board of Supervisors
at the regular meeting Of that body
yesterday afternoon, with request that
the three mile highway from Brawley
to Alamo River be paved.
They suggested that the award be
made at once, impressing upon the
Board of Supervisors and the high
way commission that they had come
prepared to stay until their demands
had been met.
The award was not made.
w. f. Beal informed his constituents
chat the board was not in a position
to make further grants for highway
construction at the present time, or at
least not until information could be
aad concerning the amount cf money
available from the 81, 100000 worth of

granted to the Peterson, Dillon and
Patterson Company, the installation of
machinery at the sand pits and other
,bligaticns that must be met in con-
lection with the construction of the
highway, explained Beal, before
,urther awards can be made.
Beal also made plain that the board
had agreed to divide the bond fund ac-
cording to the assessed valuation of
zach supervisorial district and at the
present time Brawley could expect no
mere roads. r
TT { other memb bers of the board sub
stantiated Beals statement and ex-
planned that under the plan Pulliam's
district is receiving less reads than
any ether district. .E.
A promise was made that just as
seen as the money remaining in the
treasury, said to be 100000, was clear
and above the expenses of the high
way now under construction, contracts
would be let covering the amount, and
the Brawley district would probably
secure the three miles asked
