Ell CENTRIC, Cal Aug. 16 up
Heavy rains on the west slopes of
the Rockies have increased the
flow of the Colorado river at
lockwood Heading to $4,000 Sec
ond feet, according to M. j. Dowd,
engineer for the Imperial Irriga-
ton district, who predicts plenty of
water for Imperial Valley during
the rest of the season.
During past years it has been
necessary to erect a temporary
dam at a cost of SGT 900 to divert
the entire flow of the river into
the valley during August. This may
not be necessary this year, DOWd
said. No serious damage to levces
has occurred, he added.

Towns, Farms in Ruin,

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Aug. Is
- The village of San Acacia has
been swept away, the streets of San
Marcel and San Antonio are filling
rapidly with water as the weak
ened levee gradually gives way;
hundreds of acres of crops have
been destroyed and countless fami-
lies have been driven to higher
ground as a result of the major
floods which are roaring through
the fertile Rio Grande valley.
The Rio Puerco and the Salada
River, ordinarily dry, flinty creek
beds, are raging torrents, pouring
their muddy waters into the already
overlooking Rio Grande and crum-
bling houses of adobe construction
in which the workers are forced to
live.
Drowned live stock presented a
serious problem and state officials
were making plans" for the dispo-
sal of the carcasses to prevent an

ment has been so looted of funds
that officials claim they can do no

'EFFICIENCYIS
TRUSTS SLOGAN
Insures Destruction of
Small Fruit Men

Application of "big business eff
cheney" methods to the marketing
of the fruit and vegetable crop was
again promised by Arthur R. Rule,
wealthy fruit distributor, speaking
for the S50,0o0,O0O United Growers
of America, newly organized for
the purpose of forcing out small
producers to leave a huge trust in
unchallenged control of the market.
While the Federal Farm Board at
Washington tactically "disassociat-
ed" itself from the new trust, it is
known that the board backed the
organization of United Growers, al
though unofficially. So much was
admitted by Rule in his declaration
that "the United Growers was or
ganized in compliance with the de-
clared policies of the board, after we
had informed Chairman Legge by
letter in July of the organization
plau and program. The plan was
also discussed informally with other
members of the board by former
Secretary Jardine."
Jardine is a member of the ad-
visory council of American Bank

recently: wages are thing you
never hear discussed under the plan.
You cannot bring them up at a gen.
eral body meeting. They are all re-
ferred to a committee and as rule

Another says: "Under this scheme

how he handles a grievance. 1t
makes no difference how sound his
arguments may be-.if ne causes a
minor boss, with whom he comes in
daily contact, to get angry, he is
sure to be in hot water for all time"
Under Bethlehem's industrial
democracy any worker-representa-
tive who shows activity or personal
force is a candidate for discharge.
"The men are ridden by fear of los
ing their. jobs" one of them writes,
and adds: "The plan, of course, pre-
vents the development of all trade

An official Of the Bethlehem COM
pany, in q confidential letter to an
employers association, few months
ago wrote: "The plans Company
unions and stock ownership have
been put into practice because they
are good business"
1t is also good business for the
steel trust to announce in the COM
mercial newspapers from time to
time that its $4,000 workers are "a

BY ROBERT w. DUNN

Aping his predecessor Charlie
Schwab, Pres. Eugene G. Grace of
the Bethlehem Steel Co. in another
! hot publicity handout shoots the
same old bunk about employer EN-
ploye relationships. Press head
lines all over the country have been
informing the world that Bethlehem
'1auds its workers"
Pointing out that Bethlehem has
been running for many months at
more than its rated capacity, Boss
Grace congratulates workers who
bought Bethlehem stock on the fact
that the stock is now-after five
years-to recommonce payment of
dividends.
These achievements are described
as resulting from "a cooperative re-
lationship between employer and en-
ploye. Details on the workings of
Bethlehems various union-killing
devices company union, employee
stock ownership, thrift plans-are
passed out. with customary JUNCTION

Behind the periodical Qualification
of these factory handcuff schemes,
certain stark facts remain as before:
1. Eugene Grace and Charlie
Schwab are still the implacable en-
emies Of union labor, and are the
same men who repudiated the Jack
sonville agreement with the miners
union.
2. Gunner employed by this COM
pany brutally assaulted its workers
when they tried to organize into
real union.
3. The plants and mines of this
company are crowded with labor
spies and stool pigeons ready to re-
port for discharge any worker who
whispers of trade unionism.
4. Bethlehem's widely heralded
system of employee representation is
