PRISONER is
RECOGNIZED AS
FORMER INMATE

Ramon Sotello, 13. was sentenced
by Judge H. B. Griffin of Brawley
to serve 90. days in the county Jail
for petty theft.
In fact. Ramon Sotello, alias Ra-
mon Rodriguez, WIS sentenced to
that effect twice
The first time was on January 8.
AT the county jail the Mexican.
booked that time as Rodriguez, was
assigned to the chain gang. On
January Ia the prisoner took walk
all by himself, and failed to return
to the chain gang.
A short while ago he was rear
rested in Brawley, gave his name as
Ramon Sotello, and was again con-
victed of petty theft. A sentence Of
90 days was again imposed.
Tt was not until Jailer Eddie Nett
booked Sotello at the county Jail
for the sentence that he was con-
nected with Rodriguez.
you've got another name, haven't
you?" asked the jailer.
! Sotello denied this.
Your name is Ramon Rodriguez,
| stated Nett, and the prisoner ad-
mitted it.
When the 90 day sentence for
petty theft is served Rodriguez, or
Sotello, faces a term in the state
prison at San Quentin for escape,
which constitutes a felony.

More than 1000 resident erst-
while unemployed working men
have been placed in the fields of
Imperial Valley by j. G.. Rose, spe-
cial agent of the United States De-
partment of Labor, who has been
here since December 10. working in
cooperation with growers and pack
ers of local products.
"In the eight Southern California
counties where I operate for the
government Rose said today, Il
find labor conditions in Imperial
Valley the most satisfactory. I
believe that conditions here are
better than anywhere else in the
United States. There have been no
labor disputes or troubles this
winter and living conditions are
very good. There are fewer unem-
ployed here than elsewhere N the
state
Rose advocates the plan OF util-
izing local residents when Workmen
are needed AS far as he was able
to check, he was not instrumental
in obtaining work for one transient
or drifter during his activities here,
he said.
When resident labor is used there
is less burden upon the commun-
ity in maintaining charitable in
stitutions and a greater number OF
persons are benefited because the
residents usually have families de-
pendent upon them Rose eX-
planned in summing up his work
in the valley.
The problem of the transient Ia
borer or drifter is one OF the crosses
Imperial Valley must carry during
the winter months. The valley lies
in the path of travel and appar-
emily nothing can be done about it
The travel naturally is routed thi:
way on account of the snow anc
storms encountered along the north
ern avenue of travel. The bes
thing to do under the circum.
stances is send them on to theil
destinations as soon as possible
There are times when the driftel
is necessary but not often. A grea

many Of them have no desire to
work"
No Trouble Here
The placing OF Americans in the
fields has been a successful exper-
iment, the agent said The various
races are amalgamated into har-
Imoniously working groups and this
winter labored peacefully in the
fields.
The double shift plan also was
found to be a satisfactory one as
4 greater number of persons were
given work.
I'VE discourage packers from
other sections in their plan Of
bringing their laborers with them"
said Rose. I'VE want them to use
the Workmen who live here. This
idea of importing laborers is what
caused the recent outbreak in
Coachella. Similar difficulties can
be avoided here if local people are
utilized by the companies"
Rose is greatly appreciative Of the
cooperation and help received from
valley residents. He spoke especial
ly of the growers and packers, the
various farm organizations, the
chambers of commerce and the
press.
