McCarl Refuses to Return
Is Cents to Employe

AS a result, after 16 pay-days, she
was 16 cents short, and she made
claim for it.
It wasn't the 16 cents, the claim
intimated, but the principal of the
thing. Although the spare pennies
were trifles, so far as individual
employees are concerned, in the
aggregate they amount to $4,000
or more, she contended.
Mr.. McCarl says that adminis-
trative officers may adjust those
minor items, if they like, but his
office cannot be bothered.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND PUMPKIN
PETE

Uncle Wiggily was feeling so fine
and dandy and spry after the warm
wind, when Jack Frost hid in the
cave of Mr.. Whitewash, that the
rabbit gentleman jumped all the
way down stairs in his hollow
stump bungalow one morning. Cen
orally he either hoped down one
step at a time or he slid down the
banister railing,
But this time I'm going to jump
all the way!" he said. And he did,
landing right in front of Nurse
Jane, who was hurrying toward the
kitchen.
Mr.. Longears thought the musk
rat lady housekeeper would scream
and say something to him. But, in
stead, she just crept right along,
holding her long tail over one paw
so it wouldn't draw on the floor.
Aren't you surprised?' asked
Uncle Wiggily.
! Not at ALL" said Nurse Jane
please don't get in my way, Mr..
Longears, I am very busy"

on in my bungalow that 1 can't sur

ROADS MUST STAY OPEN

Whatever merits or demerits there may
be to the strike of agricultural workers
which was called in the valley yesterday,
appears to be something for the workers
on one side and the growers and shippers
on the other, to settle among themselves,
possibly with the aid of state and feder-
al labor authorities.
In all such disagreements both sides
claim to be right and the general public
usually takes the word of one side or the
other. Both may have plenty of right
in their arguments. The thing to do Is
to get together and adjust differences
with the smallest possible delay and with
no violence.
One thing that cannot be tolerated by
the public occurred yesterday-picketing
of the public highways. These must be
kent open and free access to them afford
ed to all who wish to use them. They
must not be blocked either by strikers
or those against whom they are striking.
There have been reports of private cars
containing citizens having no interest
whatsoever in the labor disputes, being
forcibly stopped yesterday. Those re-
sponsible for such action should be
thankful that they did not meet with
violence, for stopping peaceable citizens
on the public highway in the early morn
ing hours is dangerous business for those
who have no authority to do so. Citizens
so stopped are within their rights in con-
sidering those who stop them as high
waymen and in taking whatever steps
may be necessary to enable them to pro-
ceed on their way
AS to the strike itself, the public can
only regret that with so many men seek
ing work, those to whom it is available
refuse to accept it. Granting that wages
NAV not be all that they might be, the
fact remains that growers and shippers,
have been operating ''in the red for sew
eral years and are not financially able
to pay the high wages of other years.
If. as charged, outside radicals alone
are responsible for yesterdays trouble,
Imperial Valley will profit by sending
them back from whence they came, per-
mitting Imperial Valley workers and
Imperial Valley growers and shippers to
settle whatever differences they may
have.
Imperial Valley does not want a repe-
tition of the San Joaquin valley trouble.
1t certainly is not going to permit its
highways to be blocked and the sheriff
will be justified in taking whatever steps
may be deemed necessary to keep all the
highways open all the time

merce of Imperial county will meet
at the de ANA hotel in Calexico
for what is expected to be an un-
usually we'll attended meeting Of
that group. In addition to Imper-

chamber directors, could accomplish
much at this meeting in the way
of discussing the effect of the canal
on San Diego's future water sup
ply. The San Diego group will
furnish an interesting speaker for
the associated meeting.
John Duncan, president of the
Calexico chamber, urges that there

VALLEY TELEPHONE DIRECTORY IN
DEMAND FOR PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Collecting telephone numbers is
supposedly a favorite pastime of
the younger generation and the SUBJ
ject of much mirrh provoking wit
by popular comedians, but the El
Centre Chamber of Commerce staff
has found an organization which
collects telephone numbers in a
large and comprehensive manner
which is hard 10 understand as the
organization is located in the Phil
ippine islands and would not nor
mally telephone to the numbers SO
listed.
The chamber staff was puzzled
when letter was received from J.
r. Wilson, secretary Of the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce and the
Philippine islands, Manila, asking
for a telephone directory of Impe-
rial Valley When the request was
turned over to r. J. Kliegel mana
ger of the local telephone company
he was curious TO know why Wilson
wanted this directory since he would
Imperial Valley press., 1933-11-22

hardly telephone to anyone in the
valley, although Kliegel assured the
chamber staff Wilson could tele-
phone if he wanted with great ease.
The mystery was cleared up after
careful reading of Wilson's letter
re stated that five years ago the
e. Centro chamber mac furnished
his organization with a telephone
directory of Imperial county and
that ne had found use for it con-
stantly as a directory for persons
who were interested in the valley
or individuals VINO live here. As the
directory is now too oi6 for prac-
tical purposes the request was made
for later telephone directory.
Wilson states in his letter, eve

United States and trey have proven
very valuable to Americans and
other business people who wish to

he asked.
"Out in the kitchen where I am

zy. But she is also busy. Better not
bother her"
My This certainly is a busy
place!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily as
Nurse Jane skipped down the hall.
I'll go see what it's all about"
In the kitchen Uncle Wiggily saw
his wife, with a dab of flour on
her pink nose, stirring something in
yellow bowl. AS soon as Nurse
Jane entered the room she took
the egg beater and began playing
a tune with it in a brown bowl.
"Listen" called the rabbit gen.

VIVA Ell AMERICANA

Newspaper dispatches from Mexico
City. apparently holding considerable
fact place Americans in a most unde-
sirable light due to the action of prom
inent American motion picture star,
which brought him into difficulties with
the Mexican officials.
The actor is charged with appearing
on hotel balcony in semi-nude condi-
ton during a patriotic Mexican parade,
and hurling insults at Mexican troops
passing in the street below. He denies
the insult charge but is reported as ad-
mitting that his attire was not all that
it should have been.
While it is conceded that too much
indulgence in liquor was at the bottom of
the actors escapade, this is hardly an
excuse for his action. 1t certainly doesn't
speak we'll for his fellow-Americans in
the group which went to Mexico to make
a motion picture. His own director,
when the actors acts were reported to
him, is quoted as instructing somebody
to "hit him over the head with a bottle
to quiet him until he could sober up.
The inability of some Americans to
conduct themselves as gentlemen when
visiting foreign countries is notorious.
We are the greatest people in the world.
We alone know what to do and how to do
it. People Of other nations are just
dumb lot who don't know what it is all
about. Their language, modes of living,
dress, and everything else are all wrong.
We are not content, some of US, to think
such things but we insist on telling those
whose hospitality we are enjoying about
their shortcomings. They are shortcom-
ings of course, for we say they are.
This particular American actor is
hustled out of Mexico to prevent jail
sentence and no doubt will be greeted by
some of his countrymen as martyr.
While SO considering him, they might al
so give thought to the fate of any Mex
lean who stood partially disrobed on a
hotel balcony and jeered an American
parade. He might be hustled out of the
United States but it would be as freight
and not as passenger.
