Sympathetic COnsidera-
ton is Expressed By
L. S. Senators

Imperial Valley has a group /of
valiant allies fighting her bfT for
the development and controfof the
| Colorado river. This was vividly
impressed upon representative
gathering from all parts of the
! valley which crowded the main din
ing room of the Barbara Worth
hotel to its fullest capacity last
night to listen to members of the
United states senate committee ON
irrigation and reclamation express
their views on the problems pre-
sented by the river, and the steps
that must be taken to cope with
the many difficulties.
AS Senator Kendrick of Wyoming
expressed It. "The west and Impe-
rial Valley has little band of cru
saders fighting in the United States
senate for the rights of the svest,
particular with reference to recla-
nation of waste lands and develop
nent of natural resources. and we
propose to keep on fighting until
the battle is won. -
Tell Valley Much
Ranchers, business men, ATTORNEYS,
clerks, men and women representa-
ting every line of endeavor in I'm
! perial Valley, listened with the clos
est attention 10 the speeches made
! by the nine members of the commit
tee, who, though they said they
came to listen and learn told I'M
perial Valley citizens much that
they must know and take into con-
sideration in solving the question
of development of the Colorado
river.
Repeating what he said at San
ator McNarv of Oregon, chairman
of the committee and the first
member to speak. declared that he
had high hopes of the next session
of congress passing a bill that will
provide for n dam in the Colorado
river, that will afford ample flood
protection for Imperial Valley, and
develop sufficient hydro-electric
power to repay to the government
the money taken from the treasury
to construct the dam.
Must Back Committee
But to do this, you must get
back of this committee, he said
You must get back of it by supply
ing us with facts that can be used
il presenting your problems TO the
ether members of the senate. We
cannot hope to persuade congress to
approximate money for Il dam unless
We can show that there is sufficient
reason to Justify the expenditure.
Give us the facts and the knowledge
that we seek and we are ready to
aid You in your battle.
This committee, the ma aioritv of
whom are farmers, are Nitallv in
ttrested in your needs and your
problems, and we hope you will aid
us in obtaining the relief you seek
by giving us information with which
we can plead your case for You. "

NATIONS LEAGUE
PAYS TRIBUTE TO
WILSON'S MEMORY
Spirit Is Summoned to
Preside at Pacificism
COnclaVe

PARIS, Oct. 30.-The spirit OF
Woodrow Wilson was summoned to-
day to preside over the closing ses-
sion of the League Of Nations coun-
Gil as that body wrote finis to a
work of Pacificism-its settlement
Of tn eGreece- Bulgar conflict.
Paving the memory of the dead
president u unique tribute. Presi
dent BRAND placed the meeting un-
der the memorial presidAncy'' of
the man who in the same clocl,
hall had read out to the world the
covenant of the league. Wilson
died a broken man, bis league
spurneJ~bv his country.
By today-if spirits live-Wood-
LSW Wilson saw his dreams come
true--a border war settled by pac-
fife means through the instrument
his brain evolved. Briand paid him
hearty tribute as he invoked his
spirit to take charge of the session.
It was in Il vein of deep satiSfac-
ton that BRAND spoke, for within
the span of week the council had
called upon Bulgaria and Greece
to lay down their arms and to send
their fighting men back to their
home regions.
Sees Real Work Done
This had been done.
Greeks who swept across the rim
Of Macedonia were again patrolling
Greeian land, and Bulgar troops,
pushed aside us the Greeks marched
in, We're back close to their own
frontier. Refugees who had quit
in terror were seeking out their
homes anew. Some of them found
no homes-only ruins battered by
Greek shells.
But the council held its work was
ended-and we'll ended.
SO it adjourned to meet in Geneva
about two months hence. At that
time Il commission will have de-
termincd the origin and responsible
ity for the border clashes and will
be able to say what punishment or
if any, shall be metcd.
And, the council hopes, too. to be
able TO create a Balkan pact, like
the Locarno agreement, which shall
help to bring to the Balkans the
peace which today S "memorial
president wishes for this earth.

The American Negro Labor Con-
gress must raise 100000 to carry on

ever, they are running short of funds
Their newspaper, The Negro Cham

AT q conference OF the Locomotive

connective drivers thruout Australia
to make an effort to secure standard
lied wages and and conditions. The
union opposed the principle Of fiat

by defined periods of service.
A resolution was carried expressing
Disappointment and resentment that
the federal arbitration court had fail
ed to give recognition to principles
incorporated In the treaty of peace
respecting the eight-hour working
day. Under the award overtime rates
for over 3 hours a day had been re-
fused, and the hours to be worked on

At the reviewing point in Gaffey St.,
where the fort commander took the

cant astonishment on his face, as the
last section of troops passed and no
one else appeared. No klansmen, le-

ties, what in hell had happened?
At the high school grounds another
hitch occurred, the boss preacher in
consultation with his confreres of the
cloth seemed in a fix; he crossed the
road and asked crowd of curious
women who were looking on from
porch, HAS anyone here got U. S.
school history?"
Everyone Looks Bored
He wanted to read the preamble to
the Declaration of Independence and
the service was held up for fifteen
minutes till copy was secured. Even
the hard boiled troops looked bored.

BILE OF Installing machines but the

"(signed) Edward 5olIamby,
General Superintendent"
Note that the bulletin says that the
company is sorry to replace the men
with machines. but has to do so to
compete with surrounding non-un-
ion mines" This is a hypocritical
lie.
The writer has been working in
mines all over the country, and there
is not mine In the country, except
probably Utah, where they can pro-
duce coal as cheap. And in Utah they
can produce it no cheaper.
Compared to the other mines, they
have practically no expenses for day
men, except haulage. Utah has the
same vein Of coal and pays the same
wages as here Probably they have
other expenses exceeding those here.
Only Revolution Can Stabilize
Industry
Here are facts that speak for them
selves The reader can see that the
coal barons accepted Lewis offer
seriously and are trying to reduce the
army Of miners 100000 and stabilize"
the industry
They will reduce the army OF min
ers, all right. but at the same time
will increase production, which, un-
der capitalism, means more misery for
miners. If our working class brothers
know that only the proletarian revo-
luton can really solve and stabilize
industry, they would accept the pro-
gram and tactics of the Progressive
Miners COMMITTEES and put somebody
