YUMA-PHOENIX:
HIGHWAY WILL
BE IMPROVED

IN letter received from Hamll-
ton keddie, manager of the Yuma
County Chamber of Commerce, the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce
has been informed that the entire
stretch of highway between Yuma
and Phoenix has been let under con-
tract for oiling, Surfacing and paw
ing, the last contract having gone
through few weeks ago. OF the
entire distance. states Keddie, there
is at the present time approximately
l45 miles completed and the rest Is
expected to be finished by Febru-
ary.
Keddie stated further that Yuma
is tentatively planning a celebra-
ton of some kind when the road is
completed, as it will mean muN to
Yuma, and the suggestion has been
made to the local chamber that
as the completion of this Highway
will also be important to Ell Centre
and to all cities lying on highway
number 80, El Centre and Yuma
could plan a joint celebration which
would mean much 10 DOth COM
munities.
AS this celebration would not take
place until February, the directors
of the local chamber have at the
present time merely taken it under
advisenent.
The completion of this stretch OF
highway will undoubtedly increase
tourist traffic over highway 80 and
bring even greater publicity for the
southern route as an all-year high
way. Much criticism of that piece
of road has been heard in the past
and it is felt by the chamber board
/ that the fact it will be completed
in a short time is cause for rejoicing
both in Yuma and in Imperial VAL
/ ley.

DRAFT MATTER
APPEARS TO BE
ENDED AT LAST
by l.. S. CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.U.P)-Peace
at last seems near in the trouble
some baseball draft controversy.
In a preliminary meeting yester-
day between representative of the
major leagues and the delegates
appointed by the minor leagues, the
graft was discussed at length, and
If reports OF the conference are ac-
curatc, the knotty question will be
settled for once and for all when
The major league convention ad-
journS.
According to reports o: the draft
session, the majors and minors have
tnaly agreed on q suitable and fair
craft prlce-a point which was the
biggest bone of contention. Sundry
other angles of the topic, notably
the number of years the minors
may keep a young player before he
is subject to the draft, were eX-
hauStively discussed with the hope
OF reaching an agreeable compro-
mise.
All this palaVer, of course, is sup
posedly unofficial, but it would not
be at all surprising if the results
the conference arrived at were
submitted TO today's joint meeting
of the two major leagues presum-
ably for discussing only but actual
ly for ratification.
In view of the amicable way in
which the unofficial draft confer
cnces have been reported progress
ing, and considering the willingness
Of the majors to deal with the
minor clubs, the vitriolc threat
made by the big leagues a few
months ago began to sound {, bit
hollow 1t is not too much to say
that both majors and minors would
welcome a definite settlement of
the draft, for they are both wise
enough to realize that an enduring
harmonious arrangement would be
profitable to both their interests.
Trading Will probably be more
active today as compared with yes
terday when the Yankees purchase
of Cy Perkins, and the Detroit Ii
gers hiring Of Catcher Wally
Schang were the only deals.

PACHO TO HAVE
HIS HANDS FULL
WITH LIMBRACO

Facing q SouthpaW boxer for the
first time in his ring career, Bobby
Pacho will have new problem
when he meets Leon LimbracO in
the top spot at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club.
Limbraco is also d terrifically
hard hitter. packing dynamite in
his left hand. He has knocked out
tour boys in five bouts at the local
club and had Ramon Montoya on
the floor a couple of times when
they met here
Pacho probably hits as hard as
Limbraco and is bit faster, but
he will have q few exciting moments
without question when he tangles
with Limbraco.
Hilario Hernandez and Pete Sar-
miento, fighting the first half of
the double main event, give every
indication of putting on scrap
that will compare with the Pacho-
Limbraco ruckus.
Hernandez comes from fast
stable, the one which has Chateau
Laredo, the Mexican champion, for
IT'S star. Working out with Laredo
has given Hernandez lots of class
and the veteran Pete will need all
his ring craft to keep out in front
Of his opponent.
Pancho Villa and AL Capone will
meet in the six round special. Even
their names sound dangerous. The
original Pancho will be remember

There is no need to comment on the
name Al Capone.

to throw plenty of leather.

INSURANCE FOR THE
UNEMPLOYED

Almost simultaneously this week
three speakers in three widely sep
arated places have urged unemploy-
ment insurance upon the attention of
the country. One was Governor
Roosevelt at the Salt Lake City con-
ference of governors; one was Prof.
C. A. Hatton, of Northwestern Uni
versity, at the commonwealth con-
ference in Iowa City, and the third
was Dean Grayson, of the Wharton
School, at the Kiwanis convention in
Atlantic City. All three agreed that
unemployment is no mere temporary
problem. 1t is worse in years like
the present, but it requires serious
attention in all years. And the three
men also agreed that unemployment
insurance will come in time in the
United States-perhaps in no long
time.
These warning voices will probably
receive little general attention, and
will be heard with misgiving by en-
ployers who fear contributory
schemes; but the speakers are true
prophets. One after another the

states are adopting the various forms
of social insurance which originate
in lands with more urgent industrial
workmen's compensation,
widows pensions, health insurance,
old age pensions. Voluntary unem-
ployment insurance by trade unions
or other bodies, subsidized by local
or national governments, is already
old in many nations; it spread rap
idly over Europe between 1890 and
1910. Great Britain adopted COM

then it has spread to Italy, Austria

THIS FIGHT JUST BEGUN

Mr.. Seymour Lowman, Mr.. Banker
Andrew Melons assistant in charge
of customs, has just admitted two
shipments of soviet lumber to the
United States because he held it was
not proven that the lumber was cut
by convicts. Mr.. Lowman put the
burden of proof on Americans, not
on Russian communists.
1t is a queer business. The lumber
came from Archangel. Not far away
is great red prison camp where
perhaps more than 100000 prisoners
are concentrated because for the mo-
ment the soviets would rather send
these offenders to lumber camps than
to firing squad.
U. S. tariff laws, old and new, for
bid importation of convict-made
goods. Custom inspectors embargo
ed the goods, charging the lumber
was convict-cut. Thus the govern
ment of the United States made the
charge and stood sponsor for the as
sertion that all lumber from Arch
angel is under suspicion.
Mr.. Lowman's decision was, to say
the least, charitable to the soviets.
That the trade unions which have
fought for and won a much stricter
anti-convict goods provision in the
new tariff law should protest against
this amazing decision is natural.
Mr.. Lowman will discover presently
that he has just begun to hear about
the convict labor situation in the
great Archangel district. For the mo-
ment his knowledge appears to be pit
fully, almost childishly, inadequate.
Dealing with the soviets in any
manner not only brings the demo-
cratic nations up against the duplicity
of communists, but it brings them up
against an economic jig-saw puzzle
which it will take many a day and
many a headache to finish.

END NIGHT WORK
To Cure Textile Evils, Mill
Executives Advise

New York City (ILNS)-Women's
Wear Daily, in dispatch from
Greenville, S. c., says:
"The opinion of T. M. Marchant,
president of the Victor-Monaghan
Mills, that many of the evils of the
textile industry could be cured by
abolition of night work over the coun-
try, and that, as one step toward the
goal, women and minor children
should be relieved of night work i'm
mediately, was given virtually unani-
nous approval by other Greenville
mills executives.
Night work should be discontin-
ued,' said August w. Smith, presi-
dent of the Brandon Corporation. IF
it could be abolished entirely the in
dustry would be greatly benefited. In
fact, most of the mills are trying to
eliminate it. However, it must be
achieved slowly for to do it quickly
many persons would be thrown out of
employment and be subjected to much
hardship.
"'The plan ought to be put into op-
eration,' said Brown Mahon, of Jud-
son Mill. 'Judson has not operated
at night for some time. We felt that
it was better not to operate two
shifts. Very few children under Is
years of age are employed at Judson
now, and there will be none at all
year from now. We stopped asking
for state permits to employ children
from IA to Is years of age year ago
and by next year there will be none
at all in that plant

Business at any price, export trade
at any cost, seems to be the develop
ing policy.
Venezuela and Cuba offer us ex-
amples of the perfect dictatorship,

There are prices too high to pay
for the death of liberty, and it is to
be hoped that American might is not

pay that price.

FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1880
JOHN MCDONALD is FOUND

The governor of California in the
statement accompanying his refusal
to grant a pardon to Thomas j.
Mooney admitted that the states case
against Mooney rested largely upon
the testimony of one John MacDon-
aid. The California supreme court in
declining to recommend a pardon for
Warren K. Billings likewise rested its
opinion on the testimony of MacDon-
aid. Macdonald was one of two men
who testified that they saw Mooney
and Billings plant the bomb that kill
ed 10 men and wounded 40 others dur
ing the San Francisco Preparedness
Day parade in 1916.
Governor and supreme court ad-
mitted that the other witness, F. C.
OXman, had lied-that he was not
even in San Francisco at the time
of the explosion. They took notice
also of the fact that Macdonald in
1921 had repudiated his testimony
They declared, however, that they
doubted this reputation and said that
effort should be made to find Mac
Donald in order that he might be
questioned again.
The Scripps- Howard newspapers
have found Macdonald. He repeats
his repudiation of the testimony that
sent Mooney and Billings to prison
for life, and says he is ready to re-
turn to San Francisco to be question
ed by the governor and the supreme
court.
1t only remains, therefore, for the
governor and the California high
court to go through with the part
they have laid out for themselves.
Macdonald, by his own statement,
is a lara "self-confessed perjurer,"
