LABOR MAY BE DOWN, BUT NOT
OUT"

While it remains true that a great
majority of the newspapers and per-
iodicals are still bitterly hostile and
unfair in their treatment of organ
lied labor, it is also true that grow
ing reaction against the propaganda
of employers in favor of the "open
shop" for longer hours, and lower
wages, is plainly noticeable. Here
and there editors are beginning to
realize the true meaning of the cam
paign of employers and are protesting
against it's consummation.
In a recent issue the Des Moines,
Iowa, News printed this short and
pointed editorial under the title "Play-
ing With Fire"
off there ever was time when cap
ital had a chance to make itself solid
with labor by toting fair it is now.
"But if it takes advantage of pres
ent conditions to bulldoze labor it will
kindle fire of hatred which years will
not quench.
Labor is down-but not out!
"The wheel will turn and the under
dog will be on top of the heap tomor-
row.
"If we were capitalist we wouldn't
press that American plan shop very
strong"
In another strain, but equally
strong, is the comment of the New
York Evening Globe on the recent
decision of the United States Labor
Board, reestablishing the ten-hour
day for certain railway employees.
"The decision" the Globe saws, Gig
nores the fact that men must have
leisure if they are to become citizens
fit to bear the burdens of democratic
republic. The ten-hour day leaves
neither time nor strength for anything
except the daily work.
"The maintenance of way employees
lose the eight-hour day because thew
were not strong enough to retain it.
Labor is allowed to keep little which
it has not sufficient force to defend.
If ever the track laborers are so inte-
grated that they can compel the rec
ognition of their right to what leisure
remains after eight hours are spent
in manual toll, they will be quickly
accorded the short working day, but
until that time or until the state is
willing to legislate in these matters,
weak organizations will work ten
hours or as market conditions suggest.
That is the message of the labor
board.
Reformers are against beer, claim
ing it is harmful and bent on making
mischief. But they do not protest
against the manufacture of murderous
war machines and poisonous gas.

RESOLUTIONS BY BRANCH "a
G.. B. b. A.

At a we'll attended meeting of
Branch "a, G. B. B. A, held February
5th, the unemployment problem was
the chief topic under discussion. The
discussion resulted in the presentation
of the following resolution, which,
upon being read was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The industrial affairs of
our country are in an awful bad state
and millions of idle men are vainly
seeking employment while their fam
lilies are suffering for the bare neces-
sites of life, and
Whereas, An industrial stagnation
impairs the purchasing power of the
masses and reflects its injurious ef-
fects to the extent that all business
enterprises suffer their share of the
deplorable conditions prevailing, and
Whereas, 1t is an imperative duty
of all our people to exercise their very
best efforts toward restoring indus
trial and commercial conditions to a
normal, healthy state, whereby en-
ployment can be secured by the idle
masses and their distress relieved, and
Whereas, Congressman John Philip
Hill of Maryland, has introduced a
bill in the House of Representatives,
known as House Bill 9691, providing
for the creation of Federal Local OPP
tion Districts, the voters of which
shall decide in November, 1922, wheth-
er beer containing not more than 40
of alcohal and wine of not more than
1870 may be manufactured and sold
or transported in such districts, and
Whereas, If this bill becomes a
law it will yield a revenue of approx
mately $600,000,000 a year, and said
revenue thus obtained would solve the
principal fiscal problems of the gov
ernment, and would probably cover
the gap between receipts and expendi-
lures on the basis of 1922 budget. 1t
would obviate the imposition of sales
tax which is evidently most unpopu
lar. 1t would ultimately care for the
soldiers bonus which seems to be a
possibility. 1t would add consider
ably to the income tax receipts by re-
viving beer and wine industries and
the important point connected there
with is that it would incite absolutely
no opposition among those who pay
the tax. In addition to that it would
be the means of placing hundreds of
thousands of idle men at work. There

THE UNION LABEL.

The union label symbolizing as it
does the conditions which the union
itself is established to secure and
maintain is proof that these conditions
obtain in the making of the article
upon which it appears. Firm names,
brands, trademarks, and other de-
vices by which products are adver-
tised may lose their original signifi-
canoe through changes in the fortunes
of those who own them. The union
label, being owned by the union and
subject exclusively to it's control, rep
resents the same thing always, name
fy, fair wages and hours, clean work
shops and good workmanship.

The company has n number of field
men ut work in all parts Of the valley,
and these men all have instructions 10

for the COW testing association, aud
have been successful in this phase of
their work.
In discussing the importance OLA
COW testing association for lmepriid
Valley, Mr.. Cary called attention TO the
statistics published on dairying by the
United States department of agficul.
ture. These statistics show that the
average production dairy COWS in the
United States is 1000 pounds Of milk
and 100 pounds of butterfat per year.
According to the records of 10000 cows
registered in cow-testing associations,
the average cow-testing association cow
produces $3.50 pounds of milk and 2iG
pounds of butterfat per year.
Tested Cows are Better
By these figures it will be seen the
tested cow produces Sc pounds more of
butterfat each year than the nontcSt ed
COW. With butterfat bringing an 'ar-
NJ. r.f 70 rnnn1 tbiC
represents an increase $3.50 per COW
per year.
1t is estimated there are approximate
y $4,000 dairy cows in Imperial Valley,
and if these cows could be brought up
to The cOwtesting association standard,
it would mean an increase of 1867 ,50u
in the wealth of the valley. OF course
this is taking II broad view of the
matter, but at $3.50 per head, even
one half or one-quarter of the cows
would mean u substantial increase.
Mr.. Cary points ont that the keeping
of individual cow records is not diff

about half an hour, and the weighing

NEW PROCESS FOR :
COOLING IS HELP
TO FRUIT MARKET
Claim Tender Fruits Can Be
Successfully Shipped
By Water Now
Bv WILLIAM Won MUELLER

The question often asked as to
whether it would be possible to ship
unusually tender fruits to eastern
points by water and have them arrive
in good condition, is now answered by
shippers in the affirmative.
Perhaps the most perishabe of all
fruits, certainly the most tender of
them, is a berry, either strawberries,
blackberries, raspberries, dewberries or
ioganberries. And yet these are ship
ped to New York and other Eastern
points by routes at least day longer
to cover than other points in Southern
California, and arrive in perfect cOndi-
tion.
Just lately series of tests have
been made in the matter of shipping
strawberries to New York by water.
Fruits picked in Oregon and Washing
ton have been taken to the wharves,
unloaded from refrigerator cars and
placed upon steamships bound for
Eastern coast points by way of the
Panama canal, and have reached their
destination fresh and perfect, and
ready for market or table.
This is due, partly to n new system
OF relflgtFdtloI, hHOWH us thc uiy re-
frigeration for fruit shipments. Not
only has this system been tried on
steamship lines, but on railroads as
well, and it is only matter of two or
three months ago when a train, equip
ped with this new idea in refrigeration
cars, was loaded with a cargo of ber-
ries, and carried through to New York,
where, when opened, the fruit was
found to be in good condition, and
found ready sale.

LETTUCE CROP IS
NEAR 10000 ACRE,
EXPERTS DECLARE
Calipatria Ranch Expects
TO Ship First Cars by
December Is

CALIPhTRIA, Nov. 22.-With the
l99223 lettuce season rapidly approach
ing, the outlook now is for Il record
crop in this vicinity. The estimate for
the valley this year is between $4,000
and 20,000 acres, of which Calipatria
will furnish ] 300 acres. Many small
tracts are being planted but the largest
acreage has been put in by the Leahy
and Garguilo Company, which will ag-
grcgate 500 acres. The thinning has
been completed and the lettuce shows
up q 20 per ccnt stand.
Much of the lettuce was rcplantcd
this year on account of the extreme
heat which held the valley in its grasp
until well into September, and burned
the delicate shoots as rapidly as they
forced their way through the ground.
Part of the old stand was left, how
ever, when the rcplanting was done,
with the result that what did weather
the heat will be considerably earlier.
The finest lettuce in the valley is found
in the north end, according to those in
touch with the lettuce situation.
According to Manager Kocher, ship
ment will commence 1T Shamrock not
later than December Is to 20, which
will be too late for the holiday trade,
except in the shortest runs.
A carload of shook was received at
Shamrock by the Leahy and Garguilo
Company this week, and everything is
being put in readiness for rushing the

tucc.
