LABORERS S
ATTENTION.

This is especially true wherever two OF more
candidates for the same office have evidenced
an equal desire to be fair and unprejudlced
toward labor and its right 70 organize and
bargain collectively.
1t is the belief Of this council that the
statement appearing on the so-called Peoples
Ticket" was a deliberate effort TO mislead the
citizens and workers Of Imperial county into
believing that the legitimate, A. +. Of L.
unions of the valley were favorable toward the
candidates listed. That this belief was well
founded has been proven by the numerous
voters who have approached members Of the
council, asking somewhat incredulouslyl II
it was true the council had voted TO endorse
the aforementioned ticket
In the present campaign, the great major
ity of candidates for the rifferent offices are,
and have been, entirely fair and unbiased in
dealing with the problems Of labor In such
cases, the council has no recommendation 70
make but leaves its members free to vote as
their inclinations direct.
However we feel that there have been in
stances where certain officials have shown a
poor understanding of the problems Of labor,
while others have shown an earnest desire 70
be fair and impartial. The council will, there
fore make the following recommendations, be
lieving the men endorsed will be progressive
and open minded and fully in tune and ac-
cord with the modern political trend, guaran-
teeing square deal to the worker
Imperial Valley press., 1934-08-27

There recently appeared in a valley news
paper political story containing lists of can
didates endorsed by various organizations. One
Of these lists was so-caled Peoples Tick
et" alleged TO have been endorsed by two 10
cal organizations, and delegates Of Organized
Labor"
We freely admit that any group, however
small of supposed workers has the right TO
term itself organized labor" However,
the common Interpretation Of the term is its
application to the various bona fide trades
and labor unions, affiliated with the American
Federation OF Labor, Railway Brotherhoods,
or other nationally recognized bodies. This
group Of workers in the Imperial Valley is af
filiated for the purpose of closer cooperation,
and forms the / V. Central Labor Council.
At the time Of the publication of the article
mentioned and the subsequent distribution Of
cards bearing a similar allegation, this coun-
Gil had made no endorsements whatever for
any office. Several candidates had appeared
before the council, but no action had been
taken.
As a matter of fact, the council is not a
political organization, and enters politics only
where issues vtally affecting labor are at
stake. Members Of the council are at liberty
10 join any political organization which they
may desire 10 enter. and have absolute free
dom 70 vote as they see fit. For this reason, 1t
is foreign 70 the very purpose of the council
10 endorse an entire slate" for all offices.

and yet remain at the bottom of the lad
der unless he has the capacity to forge
ahead. Chief OsWalt's record proves
that he is a DOER, not merely theor-
ist or an individual who is content to
tip back in a swivel chair and await the
monthly check.
While Chief Oswalt is not committed
to any group, clique, organization or in
dlvldual, he does believe in the spirit of
Cooperation whether it be with a pros
porous business house or with the most
humble citizen. That is why he has
been able to obtain results in his deal
lngs with other law enforcing agencies.
In this connection, it can be safely stat
ed without fear of contradiction, that
he has been one Of the largest single
contributing factors for the pleasant
relationship that now exists between
Mexican authorities Of Baja California
and officials on this side of the line, due
in great measure to his ability to speak
the Spanish language fluently, thereby
giving him common ground with Mex
lean officials.
This is an asset which should be CIV
en- fullest consideration by the voters of
Imperial county. The border area can
be a continual source of crime, or crime
there can be kept to a minimum, de-
pending largely upon the amount of CO.
operation between Mexican and Ameri-
can officials. If there is no coopera-
ton, crime can flourish there, but with
the cooperation which Chief Oswalt's
knowledge of the Spanish language in
sures there is no reason why it cannot be
kpnt down A knOwIaIC Of ho
lSh language is also an asset in all other
parts of the country due to the heavy
percentage of Mexican residents here.
The duties and responsibilities of
sheriff-cOrOner are undoubtedly of
more vital concern to the citizens of this
valley than that of any other office.
The protection of lives and property
is of paramount Importance. 1t is plan
ned to hold a'World's Fair in San Diego
next summer. This spectacle, will not
only attract thousands of tourists but
will also bring hosts of crooks and un-
desirables to Southern California. 1t
is certain that Imperial county will re-
ceive it's quota of the. individuals who
live by their wits. Assured construction
of the All-American canal is also bound
to bring large numbers of human para
sites to the valley, who will attempt to
prey upon the legitimate workers. A
strong, experienced, intelligent hand at
the helm will be necessary to handle
the complicated situations that are GER
tain to develop.
When you go to the polls on Augusf
2Sth, cast your ballot for J. !Sterling
OspaH, the only candidate Who has q
definite program for the Improvement
of the office 10 Which he aSpires. Elect
q man vhO WiU not only protect uour

FRIENDS OF J. STERLING OsWALT
Imperial Valley press., 1934-08-27

"YITH the Primary Election lust
" around the corner, it has become
:" increasingly apparent that there
has been a decided shift of public SEN
tlment favorable to the candadacy Of
j. Sterling OsWalt for Sheriff. Coroner
of Imperial county.
Without detracting from the merits
of the other candidates, it is a general
ly recognized fact that Chief OswaIt
stands out preeninently from the
crowd. His II years record as an cX-
ecutlve peace officer, all of which has
been spent in Imperial County, is a rec
Ommendation that cannot be overlooked
by the voters.
AS chief of the Ell Centro Police De-
partment, he has established law en-
forcing agency that ranks with anv sim
liar organization in the entire state.
During his incumbency in office. he has
been instrumental in installing the Daily
Log system, whereby every call that
comes over the desk is registered This
idea was adopted after a careful study
had been made Of the methods employ
ed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
offlce-rated as the most efficient law
enforcing agency in the west.
Chief Oswalt is also responsible for
the installation of the nightly patrol
system whereby the residential and bus
mess districts are patrolled at regular
intervals throughout the night. Each
police officer is also required to call the
police station at intervals Of one hour
from patrol boxes that have been in
stalled throughout the city on the init
ative of Chief Oswalt.
The foregoing are only few of the
improvements inaugurated by Chief
Oswalt, which have gained for his de-
partment enviable recognition not only
in Imperial County but throughout the
entire state of California.
For three and one-half years he was
deputy in the sheriff's office and dur
ing this time took advantage of the op-
portunity to familiarize himself not
only with routine work of the sheriff'S
office but with many of the legal re-
quirements which the laws of the state
impose upon the person holding that
position.
His experience thus gained has given
him ideas for improvement in many
phases of the work of the office with
the object of givinggreater service and
efficiency to the taxpayers and more
economical methods of conducting the
work in the sheriff's department.
In addition to the qualifications of
youth, initiative, unfailing courtesy and
progressiveness, Chief Oswalt has a
background of experience for which
there can be no substitute Insofar as
actual years of service are concerned,
others may have had as much or more.
However it is the ability to apply the
KNOWLEDGE of experience gained
that counts. A man may spend life
time in any given profession or business

Dickinson N. Hoover, assistant di.

Steamboat Inspection of the Com
merce Department, has indicated new
legislation will be asked of Congress
as an outgrowth Of the recent Moro
Castle disaster.
Hoover has completed q report OF

Of certain documentary evidence be-
fore submitting it to Secretary Roper.
Meanwhile, he declined to make
public any Of the reports contents.
He explained, however, that the re-
port will go beyond the recent report
OF two inspectors who preferred
charges against four officers of the
liner. 1t will not only touch upon the
responsibility of the boats officers and
crew but will also cover the work OF
the inspection service itself.
Hoover said the report will not be
made public until after it has been
studied by Secretary Roper, but he did
indicate that changes will be sought
in future regulations governing pas

G. O. P. Governor Nominee

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 2o.-Robert
Moses, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, last night made public cor
respondence which revealed, he said,
that Postmaster General James A.
Farley has his hooks on c. C. C.
camps, just as he has them on every
other agency Of Government Federal
and State"
The first portion Of the correspond
ence was a telegram from Conrad L.
wirth, assistant director of State park
emergency conservation work, to the
Long Island State Park Commission,
Of which Moses Is q member. In 1t
Wirth suggested that the Representa-
tive in whose district proposed camp
was located be consulted about ap-
pointments.
Replying, Commissioner Moses wrote
that the commission had never con-
suited local political leaders III making
appointments and that unless these
orders were rescinded, the commission
did not want the camps.
Moses said he had published the
correspondence because OF further
claims by Gov Lehman to non
partisan administration.
Not only did he write Wirth. he said,
but after receiving second telegram
he telephoned that the commission
declined to meet Farley's terms and
that it would give up the camps.
Gov. Lehman" he added, was as
usual q silent partner of Jim Farley"
