AN erroneous statement occurred in
the Denver Star last Saturday, where
in it is stated that Porter S. Simpson
and J. L. Hill were garnisheed. In
fact no one was garnisheed. The pa
pers purporting to garnishee two of
the officers of the Grand Temple and
Tabernacle were too late as the two
parties had already received their pay.

Compliance by All
United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Agrcemcnts
reached by collective bargaining be
tween union heads and railroad exc
cutives must be carried by both parties,
the United States railroad labor board
ruled today.
In two decisions of far reaching
effect, the board demanded that both
roads and workers live up to agree
ments made by their representatives.
The board decided that shops of the
New York Central at Elkhart, Ind,
must remain ON piece work basis.
Union heads of the Railway Carmen of
America in Il conference with officials
of the New York Central agreed that
vote could be taken among the men
in the Elkhart shops on whether they
would be paid by the day or by the
piece. The vote favored piece work.
Other union leaders complained and
took their ease to the railroad labor
board, They complained the union
heads had no right to agree to abide
by the decision of the men IS vote.

Clemenceau Views
Not Shared by u. s..
Government Leaders
United Press Leased Wire

Copyright, 1922, by the United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The Am
erican government regards with dis
tinct disfavor the views being express
ed here concerning foreign policies of
the United States by Georges Clemcn-
ceau, the war premier of France.
This was the answer given the I'm
tied Press by a highly authoritative
source in response to an inquiry as to
whether this direct charge of Ameri1
can foreign relations agreed in the
main with the sharp attacks made by
Senators Borah and Hitchcock on the
noted Frenchman s statements.
1t is the view of this government
that the French policy which Clemen-
ccau defends is largely responsible for
the present economic and political
plight in Europe. If France continues
TO maintain an attitude of unbending
repression against Germany, it is felt
in Washington that the German repair
atious question is the root of the
trouble in Europe and that France
holds the key to this problem.

AT MEXICALI CLUB
By Special Staff Correspondent

CALEXICO, Nov. 24.-There will be
no fights at the MeXicali Athletic Club
arena this Sunday, due to the non-ar-
rival of Kid Savage, and the accident
to Lee Anderson, who was slightly in
iured in an auto wreck last Monday.
Promoter Davilla has also found il a
rather unsatisfactory condition in the
housing facilities for the fights and
fighters at Mexicali.l According to the
terms of his contract for the use of the
Eden thcater, he was permitted to use
the building only for the Sunday after
noon bouts, and could not show at any
other time. Then, there were no train
ing quarters made available to the
fighters.
Now however, Mr.. Davilla has ar
ranged to take over the Eden theater
entirely, the picture show people are
going to move, and the building will be
made a club in fact as we'll as in name.
According to present plans, the fight

NOT SATISFIED in
COMMISSION ACTS
Imperial Irrigation Board
Tells NickersOn to Seek
Changes
Division Without Guarantee
For Reservoir Would
Not Satisfy

Indicating that they are not entire
ly satisfied with the deliberations of
the Colorado river commission i'll Santa
Fe, the Imperial Irrigation District di
rectors have advised j. S. Nickerson
president, representing the directors in
Santa Fe, to inform Herbert Hoover
chairman of the commission, that the
district does not favor a plan for an ar
bitrary division OF the waters of the
Colorado without proper guarantee to
the people of this valley.
Mark Rose, director who attended
the meetings of the commission last
week, told the board i'll executive ses
sion of things which transpired at
Santa Fe. 1t was indicated today that
Mr.. Rose was very much disappointed.
The following telegram to President
Nickorson was made public today:
~. S. Nickerson,
- Santa Fe, n. NJ,
owe have the utmost confidence in
the sincerity of purpose of the Color
ado river commission. We appreciate
fully the great good which viii flow
from a compact eliminating interstate
misunderstanding and litigation
which has arrested the proper develop
ment of Colorado river. We feel, how
ever, that if the signatory states change
the present status and waive their
right to invoke the state and federal
laws in the protection OF their rights
by substitution of an arbitrary divis-
ion of river flow, that the terms and
provisions of the compact should be
binding upon the signatory states only
when sufficient storage is constructed
in the lower division to conserve for
use the amount of water which shall
annually be released by the upper di-
vision for the use of the lower division
and Mexico.
"Please present these views to the
chairman of the commission.
