rancherS and growers as we'll as
to town residents.
IF this proposed raid on state
highway revenues is permitted We
may expect future highway work
to be confined to maintaining the
main traffic routes, while the new
ly-added state routes will be left
to shift for themselves, notes the
club manager.
The recent state highway act
added approximately 178 miles Of
connecting county roads and
through city streets in Imperial
county to the state highway sys-
tenn. Work on all of these routes
would be seriously retarded for
number of years unless a decisive
NO" vote is cast against the ST.
100000 gasoline tax diversion pro-
positions number 8 and 10.
1t is pointed out by Thompson
that drastic reduction of highway
work would greatly increase I'M
employment and add to general
distress. 1t is estimated that more
than 10000 men would be laid off
work for at least a year if the
state funds are cut by the peo-
posed diversion.
Records show that more than
IS per cent of the money spent
on highway construction and
maintenance goes directly to the
men employed in the work." de-
clared Thompson. This means that
of the more than $17,000,0o0 pro-
posed to be taken out of highway
funds, more than $14,000,000 would be
taken away from the working man
and add to unemployment to that
extent. Yet another election mea-
sure, Proposition 2, asks for public
approval of $20,000,000 state bond
issue to relieve unemployment"

Of
INDUSTRY AID
Forty Of Nations Industrial
Chiefs Summoned To Confer
enec At Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Forty
prominent industrial and financial
leaders were called into session to-
day to assist in pulling American
business up from the depression and
keeping it on a prosperous basis.
The committee was called by Sec
rotary of Commerce Roper both as
an aid, not only in the current in
dustrial recovery program but to
help in long-range planning.
Among those invited were such
leading business figures as Alfred
P. Sloan, Walter C. Teagle, Walter
S. Clifford and Melvin Traylor.
The group meets as the industrial
recovery administrator enters what
is expected to be a week of great
significance in point the course for
the great drive to reemploy millions
now idle.
One of the administrations first
tasks is to appoint consumers adj
viSory board-a group to sit with Ia
Dor and capital in judgment of the
various codes of fair competition as
they come up for approval.
The first of the public hearings
on proposed code, that of the cot
ton textile industry, begins tomor-
row with a controversy expected to
develop around this industry's sug-
gestion that it operate on 40 hour
week with a $40 minimum wage.
Organized labor feels the hours of
work should be shorter and the $40
figure increased to $12 or $14
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson
said last night the government
would not tolerate wildcat price
lifting
"If prices rise faster than is JUS
titled by increased costs and wa
geS," johnson emphasized in an adj
dress, the higher wages won't do
any good and the whole bright
chance will just turn out to be
CHASTITY failure and another shat
tered hope"
This does not mean selling be-
low COST" he said. THE first eff
feet of this plan will be to increase
business and bigger business is a
better way to profit than is higher
prices.
Our best people understand this
is no time to get rich quick. 1t is
the time to pull our country out of
a hole"
General johnson summed up the
whole aim of the recovery program
as this:
split up the existing work to put
more men on the payroll and raise
the wages for the shorter working
shift SO that no worker is getting
less than a living wage
Due to varying living costs and
other factors, he explained, no
single schedule of hours and wages
could be laid down for all indus
1ries, ,TBut without commitment
we can say for the benefit of small
er employers everywhere that, I'M
der present conditions, and as far
as the lowest paid class of workers
are concerned, an average of about
80 hours a week at not less than
AS cents an hour for the lowest paid
type of workers would do this job. y

WILL REDUCE
COTTON CROP

County agric 1tural agents
throughout the United States have
been asked to cooperate with Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry F.. Wal
lace, in putting over a cotton re-
duction campaign.
To discuss plans for the reduc-
ton of Imperial county's output for
the coming season Frank Bey-
schlag, Imperial county farm advi-
sor will hold two meetings Thurs
day; one in Bard at $50 Yuma
time and one in Ell Centre at 2:30
at the court house. Inasmuch as
Beyschlag must report to the sec
rotary of agriculture the last of the
week what this county is going TO
do about the matter, it is import
ant that all persons in any way in
terested in the cotton industry,
whether as growers, buyers, oil or
gin men be present at these gather
ings.
Plans for the national effort to
reduce cotton output to a point
where it may be hoped to return a
fair profit down the line to the
grower were developed at recent
meeting of the representatives of
all phases of the cotton industry,
from producer to consumer, held
in Washington, D. C.
At this conference George Peek
and Charles j. Brand were ap-
pointed to supervise tn administra-
ton of an acreage reduction cam
paign seeking to withdraw 100000 600
acres from cotton planting.
To Supply Contracts
To this end county agents all
over the cotton area will supply the
growers contracts between the lat
ter and the secretary of agricul-
ture. These contracts will not be
forced on the growers, however,
and in case too many cotton farm
ers are unwilling to accept them it
is understood that some other plan
of assistance to the industry will pc
tried.
But it is anticipated that most
of the growers will look with favor
on the proposition as there are two
methods of compensation for the
diminished acreage. One is by cash
payments to cover the reduction
based on anticipated yield per acre.
The other method is by a partial
payment in cash, the remainder to
be made up in purchases of cotton
from the secretary of agriculture
at cents pound. The grower buy
ing this cotton stands a very good
chance of profit and at the pres
ent price of cotton, 9.8 cents a
pound would make neat sum by
this deal.
Imperial county usually plants
about 5000 acres of cotton and the
proposed cotton reduction cam
paign, in its local application, will
mean a decrease of from Is to 40
per cent. This move will effect some
100 growers as we'll as buyer, ship
pers, gin and oil men, and others
throughout this territory.
