The quota assigned to this city was
$lO25.
1T was Il pleasure to call on
local citizens for contributions to
this fund, one member Of the com
mittcc stated this morning. Every
where we went we were greeted
with genuine spirit of coopera-
ton and there was virtually none
who did not give something. The
only criticism we received at all
was the complaint that the county
ought to contribute the money as Il
county proposition, and that it is
lcgrcttable that the supervisors are
not permitted to make the appro-
priation from the advertising fund
as was done in Orange county.
Quotas Exceeded
Similar indications OF the new
spirit that is now invading lmpe-
lial county, spirit of concentration
on the Swing Johnson bill until it is
Cracted into law, came from other
cities and communities in the val
lev TODAY. Brawlcv has reported
raising its quota of $3.50. Calipatria

$500, and WcStmorland doubled ON
its quota of 500 by raising 5000.

BRITISH Miners
REJECT OFFER
OF GOVERNMENT
Proposal Fails Though
Pits Have Been Closed
Since April
By CLIFFORD L. DAY
u. L. Staff CnrrnsnnMInntl


LONDON. Oct. The national
delegate conference of British coal
miners today overwhelmingly re
iectcd the government : proposal
for creating nationa! tribunal as
a means of settling the dispute
which has kept most of .nc pits
idle since April 30.
Discussing the miners ac( ION to
day, the British official wireless
broadcast said
In most areas the decisions have
been arrived at in delegate confer
ences or branch meetings and in
those cases probably only a small
proportion of the men concerned
were actually consulted.
"Thc miners executive ycstcr
day received letter from the
prime minister reminding them that
the government cannot consent to
any further prolongatiou of their
offer, which has now been before
the miners federation for nearly
three weeks, but must ask the con
ference to give definite decision.
"Chief interest now ccntcrs in
the possibility of some alternative
proposal being authorized by the
federation that would have the re
suit of wrecking the present move
ment for gradual resumption OF
work without agreements upon
terms as the owners offer in the
particular districts, or at particular
pits.
Take Stern Action
The national delegate conferenc"
of miners voted today to withdraw
all safety men from the mines.
Throughout the coal strike about
10000 miners have been working ~
Usual. They are the S0-called safety
men who look after the pumps, the
vcntilating machinery, care for the
pit ponies and in general keep the
mines from becoming foul, under
ground lakes.
Today's resolution was intcrprct-
ed as meaning that the miners
would permit the flooding of all
the pits in Great Britain.
Under the emergency regulations
which have been in force since the
present industrial trouble became
acute five months ago, the govern.
men would be able to man the mine
pumps with volunteers or troops,
or to take virtually any means to
prevent the incalculable loss which
would result from widespread sab
otagc in the pits.
