DESERT H|KERS
GIVEN WARNING

Souvenier hunters and desert
mixers are warned in letter from
Captain c. L. LeGette to Sheriff
George L. Campbell not to touch
or otherwise molest "duds" or
doubtful projectiles which they
may find on the marine artillery
range south of Coyote Wells in the
Yuha Wells country.
In addition to thanking Sheriff
Campbell and other county officials
for their cooperation in making
possible establishment of the artil-
lery range, Captain LeGette signi-
fled the intention of marine auth
critics to hold further artillery
practice on the range next spring
The marine officer asked that the
sheriff warn the public against mo-
testing any unexploded shells which
may be found on the range, point
ing out that the slightest move
ment may explode these shells and
cause severe injury.
Before leaving the range, he said,
the marines hunted out all duds
on the surface and exploded them
with dynamite. He declared, how
ever, that some unexploded shells
may remain under the surface. Any
jar may set off the already cooked
hammer of these artillery projec-
tiles and cause them to explode, ac-
cording to Captain LeGette's letter.
The legal description of the pro-
perty used as a rifle range placed
it in section q, township 16 south,
range II east.

COMMITTEE ASKED TO CURB COST
OF FUNERALS FOR CONGRESSMEN

The Texas representative has in
troduced several bills and resolu-
tions to end this source of expense
which averages about $500 per
funeral.
"I am enclosing herewith a
United Press story, and you will
note the comment that the train
fares to the Longworth funeral
cost $6,422.20" Summers said in his
letter.
"During Mr.. Longworth's life
time 1 talked with him about this
resolution 1 was trying to get
through to stop these congression-
al funerals at public expense, and
he agreed with me thoroughly. If
he had been alive he would have
disapproved this expenditure of the
public funds.
II hope that a provision will be
incorporated in the legislative ap-
preparation bill prohibiting the ex-
penditure of any public money in
connection with these funerals"

ers were charged with employing
highly paid propagandists to place
the blame for the depression on
congress and to divert attention
from themselves in a speech in the

Calf.
"I'm sick of all this tommyrot
of placing the blame on congress
for the present deplorable condi-
ton of things Swing said.
1T is being put out by highly
paid group of propagandists inspir-
ed by Wall Street.
But it is they who are respon-
sible for the situation If anyone Is
fhey are the ones who sold mil
lions of dollars OF international Sc

merely to distract attention from

our grand old Commonwealth have
remained loyal and upheld the best
traditions of American citizenship,
taking their suffering and dep%rivations
like the good red-blooded American
men and women they are; faltering
not, nor falling into the traps set by
a disgruntled, fanatical, and unworthy
minority citizenship who decry all
that avors of law, order, capital, and
Christianity. These vultures, of which
Communism stands out as the leading
faction, would take the toilers under
their wing with the false doctrine that
the destruction of capitalism would
mean relief; which would bring us
the commingling and mixing of the
races; which would destroy our best
institutions and ideals, and even the
church of God-the foundations of
our Republic.
The worker, the organized worker,
stands out in the light of a martyr
for loyalty to the true principles of
Americanism, carrying on even when
the odds appeared SO great as not to
be overcome; clinging to the faith of
their fathers; holding to the love and
sanctity of their homes, and remain
ing steadfast to their flag.
In this message l would not con-
vey its full meaning and import did
l not extend thanks to our many
friends outside our ranks for the oc-
operation they have given the legiti-
mate labor movement through their
unselfsh support of our aims and
ideals and standing steadfastly by us
in our endeavors. They embrace high
government officials, captains of in
dustry, outstanding educators, law
yers, doctors, merchants, bankers,
bakers and candlestick makers - in
fact, every strata of society. They
recognize and know that we have a
just, fair, sane and sound economic
program. They have the courage and
backbone to speak an unbiased opin-
ion, realizing that the labor move
ment's aims and objects and ideals
are summed up in just two words
Human Betterment.
We have me- with no great re-
verses during the past year, and our
membership has been held together
with a solid front. There has been
a p%erceptible growth in many quar-
tiers, new charters being placed here
and there, despite the depression.
The general public is coming more
and more to understand that the Am
erican Federation of Labor stands for
a principle that would not destroy,
but that would upbuild, ennoble, and
make better our citizenship-an Or
ganization constructive and uplifting

A world wracked by the misery of
our twenty millions of unemployed,
who with their families, have not suf-
fcient food, is the urgent problem
that faces us with the dawn of the
new year. Each worker and his fam
lily are facing problems which can be
relieved only when the problems of
business can be adjusted. Each bust
ness executive can put his organize
ton on a normal basis only when
credit and retail trade are restored.
Credit waits upon a rise in the secur-
ity market and adjustment of the
problems that hold Europe paralyzed.
Retail business waits upon consump-
ton buying powers 80 percent of
which depends On wage earners in
comes. Europe waits upon internation-
al agreements and ratification by ma
tional governments. 1t is a structure
of interlocking relationships that
makes the whole world need prosper
ity for every human, link individual,
groups and associated groups. The
fundamental rule and the only prin-
ciple that will work is the simple
commandment we have all heard since
infancy. 'Do unto others as you
would have others do unto you."
