PUBLIC ASKED
T0CO0PERATE
upon RELIEF

The following aelf-explanatory
letter was received today at The
Press office:
Oct. II, 1888.
Editor, Imperial Valley Press,
Ell Centre, California.
Dear sir:
The Ell Centre Emergency Relief
Committee desires that the citizens
of Ell Centre subscribe to no drives
for relief or charitable purposes
that have not first been approved
by the above committee.
Certain individuals or so-called
organizations have, in number of
instances, made "racket of OBJ
tanning funds under the guise of
soliciting for some charitable or
relief purpose. 1t will aid the COM
mittee in it's work if the people of
the city will subscribe only to the
properly authorized agencies, to the
end that the funds subscribed will
be used for the purpose intended.
Also, it is desired to convey the
information to the public that pub
lie support of authorized relief
agencies will be necessary during
the coming season. While the fed
eral emergency relief agencies es-
tablished in the county and cities
will relieve the local agencies of a
very considerable burden of relief
work, it is, however, limited in its
scope and much relief work will be
needed that does not come within
the program of the Federal Emerg-
cncy Relief.
The committee will appreciate
your further cooperation in pub
licity work.
Ell Centre Emergency Relief
Yours very sincerely,
Committee,
BY Philip w. Knights,
Secy.

MANY ATTEND
HEARING ON
BARBER CODE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. IL. U.H -
One thousand or more advocates
and opponents of the 65-cent hair
cut in California met today in a
noisy session at the state building.
Despite the rapping for order of
several secretaries, boos and jeers
from one side or the other greeted
every effort of speakers.
The controversy quickly resolved
itself into two groups-master bar
bers owning or employed by large
shops, who said wages were Gin
tolerably low under the prevalent
cut prices, and proprietors of one
chair and other small shops, who
protested they could not stay in
business if forced to charge IS
cents.
Spokesman for the master bar
bers said average earnings in the
larger shops recently had been ST.
a week, can intolerable situation. y
Representatives of the smaller
shops said the master BARRIERS who
agreed with state NRA officials on
the Is cent rate did not truly rep
resent the business. The protesting
group was swelled by delegation
representing virtually all of the
one -chair shops in San Diego.
Rumors that the code had been
suspended to the contrary. it was
announced by Edwin M. Daugher-
ty, state corporation commissioner
that it is still in force and that vio-
lations will subject BARRIERS to pros
ecution.

gained labor constitutes the ma
lions principal prop against an
other economic relapse in the opin-
ion of Hugh S. Johnson, recovery
administrator.
Ir full evening regalia because of
a dinner engagement at the White
House, johnson faced the conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor last night with plea that
it prevent another breakdown by
the wise exercise of its power.
I'VE cannot stand another COL
lapse" he told the labor leaders.
You are the principal prors
against collapse. You cannot es-
cape your responsibility"
Labor does not need to strike
under the Roosevelt PLAN" he said.
1.-THE plain stark truth is that you
cannot tolerate the strike.

of this government and it's people
are being given to an effort to pro
vide and meintain to the ultimate
the rights of every man who work.

SPEECH BY GENERAL JOHNSON

chatter about the recovery program
being responsible for strikes is just
plain nonsense he said.
The old order is gone forever,
johnson said.
IF dictator camethrough, what
more could he do than has been
done?" he asked. "If some ruthless
seeker after power aspired to grasp
this sorry scheme of things what
mouths grown bitter and resentful
after four years of patient suffer-
ing? The answer is that he could
do nothing.
I'VE will find our way out of this
mess not by smashing down what
has been built up but by applying in
telligence and timing and control
to this complex machine of which
we are all part. And that is ex-
actly what the NRA is intended to
do.
johnson bluntly denounced the
ten per centers" of both industry
and labor who he said were at
tempting to thWart the national
recovery program, To illustrate this
criticism he spoke of the minority
of bituminous coal operators and
minority of miners who are block
ing full effectiveness of the coal
code.
Quoting economic authority to
show that recovery movements al
ways bring labor troubles, Johnson
said there are far fewer strikes
in this recovery than in any other
in history"

WARE STORM
MR.. SERGEANT

Desk Sergeant Bill Mitchell took
an unwilling part in one-act
drama at police headquarters this
morning which left him somewhat
puzzled throughout the remainder
of the day.
AS the curtain rose, Bill was
seated at his desk writing up re-
ports and log sheets for the police
archives. Suddenly the telephone
rang.
"Police station, Mitchell talk
ing
81 want you to send Mr. Truitt
out here just as soon as possible;
right away!" came in excited tones
over the wire.
"What's the matter, mad dog
loose or something like that?'
Mitchell enquired, ready to call out
the regulars and reserves, even the
entire sheriff S staff should such
be necessary.
"My husband has left me with
out even a thin dime and I want
Mr.. Truitt out here, Immediately, y
came the reply.
"But, madam Mitchell replied
in his softest and smoothest tones,
"Mr. Truitt is the humane officer,
and
"Well," interrupted the insist
ent voice at the other end of the
wire, elf this ism It humane case
I'd like to know what one is!'
AS Bill attempted to explain to
the lady just what the duties of a
humane officer are, he was inter-
rupted by a sharp click which in
formed him that the other end of
the line was not interested in any
explanations of any sort. Now Bill
is wondering what is to happen
next and also just when an irate
woman will bear down upon him
to demand why he didn It have the
humane officer call as she had re-
uueSted.

nationalistic policy, might decide
war was inevitable sooner or later,
and prefer the present rather than
at some future time when Soviet
Russia may be better prepared to
challenge her.
Delegates to the disarmament
conference which is scheduled to
reconvene Monday feared that the
present tension might be disastrous.
They thought that Japan might
feel she must resist any proposal
affecting her ornaments. If ia
pan continued to refuse plans for
international control of ornaments,
keystone in the disarmament
plans, it was thought not only Rus

forced to follow suit.
If Russia, in turn, found herself
unable to accept control because OF
conditions, then Poland and her
neighbors, it was held, also would
refuse.

JIMMY DURANTE
 IN LYRIC REEL
Paired With Walter Hus- ~ ton in "Hell Below
 Opening Sunday

Hell Below" one of the out standing photoplays of the year, will open Sunday at the Lyric thea ter following it's successful long run at the Astor theater in New York. This is the much discussed Metro-G -Goldwyn-May submarine drama, filmed with the cooperation of the United States navy, and based on the story, "Pigboats," by Commander Edward Ellsberg.
 Robert Montgomery heads the case of the production and featured roles are played by Walter Huston, Madge Evans, Jimmy Durante.
 Below" to be the most thrilling marine drama yet to reach the screen, striking effects having been achieved for hte first time by the use of new developments in under- sea photography, notably novel camera operating with the aid of 8 periscope. The story is replete with expressing action from start to finish, the camera depicting the plight of a submarine at the bot tom of the sea with it's engines dead and its crew apparently doomed, the battles between the undersea craft and four destroyers who attempt to destroy the sub- marine with depth bombs, and the final hair-raising episode in which the submarine laden with dynamite rams 8 fortress and thus blocks up the enemy sea base.
 The companion feature is Char lie Chan's greatest case.
