GOOD WORK AT CHICAGO

ORGANIZED labor, often uniustly con-
" demned for its faults, like all other
institutions deserves praise for its yir-
tues, sample of the latter being given in
the action signed yesterday at Chicago
when representatives of the railroad un-
ions agreed to accept a reduction in the
wage scale.
The reduction, amounting to 10 per
cent, is to extend at least for year at
the end Of that period further confer
ence being held between the unions and
rail executives, to decide whether it shall
be continued for a longer time.
A strike, such as might have been
called by railroad unions, would have
been disastrous to the country in view of
present conditions. 1t would hurt labor
as much as capital and there is hardly
any business of any kind in the country
that would not suffer from such course.
While the 10 per cent cut is somewhat
of a compromise, it is, after all, the rail-
roads own terms. Originally they asked
the government for Is per cent cut.
Labor demanded that the cut be not
greater than Gle per cent.
The disposition shown in this instance
by labor and capital, is highly COM
mandatory. 1t was not easy to arrive at
a decision and the discussions extend
ed over several days during which tenn
pers on both sides were kept well in
hand, even though the bargaining was
conducted under a high tension.
1t may be said that the unions had

Virginia Burke, daughter OF Mrs

Lopez as he was leaving, and put
her in his car.
Martinez started for Brawley

into the ditch, where Campbell and
Castanien found it later in the eve

Jose Soto of Holtville was the
first to reach the wreck. He told
Castanien yesterday that Martinez
seemed interested only in get
ting his car righted. and would not
tell where he lived. Martinez said
the baby was his, according to
Soto, and ignored demands that
the child be taken to a doctor.
Ramon Bonillas. another Mexican
rancher living on the Dogwood
road. arrived shortly afterwards
and took the baby to the ranch OF
Prudencio Garcia, who knew Mart

and insisted that Martinez go with
him into FL Centro. He took both

ASSERT CANAL
WILL NOT HELP
CONDITIONS HERE,

Las Vegas, New, is suffering
badly from a slump that comes as
the result of too great an estimate
of prosperity that it expected to re-
ceive from the construction of the
Hoover dam, according to officials
of the Water Rights Protective
Association of Imperial County,
who claim that something of the
sort will be the experience in I'M
perial Valley cities that hope that
to acquire special prosperity as the
result of the proposed new govern
ment canal contract. In speaking
of the situation the association IS
sues the following statement.
Recent news dispatches indicate
that Las Vegas is not getting the
prosperity that it expected. In
stead. it has had to take care of
large numbers of unemployed men
who came there to get jobs that
have not been forthcoming and the
expected prosperity has been deli
nitely transferred to the new con-
struction town of Boulder City,
lltdl Gl w AlAt aNAAAN Va ~
tivities and built from the ground
up on the open desert. Much the
same situation will probably de-
yelop here if the present plans oil
the people of Yuma eventuate.
Yuma is applauding the pro
posed program for the voters oil
Imperial Valley to have the gov
ernment spend S38,500000 for
new canal, pointing out that Yuma
is the reclamation bureau head
quarters nearest the project, and
where the money will be spent
Very little of it will affect the
prosperity of any of the cities OF
the Imperial Valley, although they
guarantee payment for the job.
Also it is easily appreciated that
the construction of the canal 10
Coachella Valley will make it nee
essary to build a new paved high
way to Mecca around the northern
shore of Salton sea and completely
passing up the main valley cities.
+ That. of course, will mean thaI
most of the transcontinental traf-
/ fic to and from Los Angeles would
pass over the new route ard miss
all of the present valley cities.
This is another instance OF
where the proposed contract would
require Imperial Irrigation distric'
to guarantee the cost of breaking
down its own prosperity, but every
home in the present cities OF the
valley will be pledged to pay the
bill for construction of the new
canal under the proposed contract
