THEY MUST LEARN

1t is regrettable that negotiations to
prevent strike of street car workers at
Los Angeles have not been successful
and everything points to walkout of
several thousand men early tomorrow,
unless some unforeseen development aris-
eS.
Attempts to arbitrate the differences
between employees and employers failed,
yet arbitration is the only thing that will
bring a strike, if one is called, to a con-
clusion. In the meantime, strikers will
lose their wages and employers will lose
their revenue.
There is merit on both sides. The
wages OF the workers are not commensur-
ate with the increasing cost of living
On the other hand, street cars, once a
prolific source of profit, have been
doomed by the advent of the automobile.
The companies claim they cannot in
crease wages with their present low rev.
enue, and in this they are probably right
They are no more right, however, than
the claim of the workers that they can
not enjoy decent living at the wages
paid them.
The ranks of the strikers are necessar-
ily split by the fact that one of the COM
panies involved-the Pacific Electric
is subsidiary of the Southern Pacific
company and comes under the juriSdic-
tion of the railroad labor act The Los
Angeles Street Railway, the other en-
ployer involved, is not under the juris-
diction of that act.
Intervention of the federal government
is possible as applied to the Pacific Elec-
trio but not as regards the Los Angeles
Street Railway The workers, however,
are depending in great measure on unity
OF action by the two groups of employ
ees, for the attainment Of their aims.
Despite the prevalence of automobiles,
there are still many who depend upon
both systems for daily transportation.
A strike is going to inconvenience them
considerably but they have no voice in
the matter.
Give and take by both sides now, would,
in all probability, prevent a strike
Neither is in the mood to do any giving.
1t will require the bitter lesson of strike
to bring both sides to the proper mental
attitude where giving can be accomplish

CHEAP INSURANCE

Yesterday this column cited the lack
OF adequate recreational opportunities
available to the youths of Imperial Val
ley.
Today we call attention to an organi-
zation which is created to provide such
recreation in most admirable fashion
the Boy Scouts of America.
Not only does the Boy Scout organi-
cation provide proper recreation, but it
also offers opportunity for educating the
boy and for grounding him in funda-
mentals of character which will be worth
more to him as man than anything
else which could be given him.
In recent years the Boy Scout organ
ization in Imperial Valley has been per-
mitted TO reach an extremely low point
in efficiency. This has not been due to
lack of interest by the boys nor to lack
of interest on the part of those who seek
to help them. It is due wholly and sole
ly to the lack Of interest on the part of
the general public
Times have been hard and money has
been scarce, yet many who will spend
dollar or two to see a football game or to
provide themselves with some other
pleasure, would not give dollar to help
the cause of the Boy ScoutS-or to put
it another way, to help the kids of I'M
perial Valley get at least a smattering of
the boyhood pleasures their dads knew
and enjoyed in other sections of the coun-
try.
Early next month the Boy Scouts are
starting a campaign to provide the or
gapization with sufficient funds to re-
habilitate itself in Imperial county, put
it on sound basis, and make Scouting
available to all boys who wish it.
Too many youngsters in Imperial Val
ley are completely lost as to what to do
with their leisure time. Odd jobs which
boys once had have almost disappeared;
there are few avenues of recreation open
to them without offering a great oppor-
tunity to get into trouble of more or
less serious nature: the nature of our
community is such that sports enjoyed in
other sections cannot be enjoyed here.
Every kid is entitled to a full measure
of the happiness of boyhood. If he gets
it he is more likely to develop into a
good citizen. If he has to depend upon
roaming the streets, hanging around
street corners or merely "moping," there
is an excellent chance he will be led
astray and be in the juvenile court to
the horror of his parents and their
friends and to his own disgrace and
theirs.
The Boy Scout organization asks little
support from the individual. 1t would
prefer to get small donations from many.
Boy Scouting gives something to the
youngster which every father wants him
to have-courage, resourcefulness, cour-
tesy, recognition of and submission to
constituted authority.
There was never a community which
needed the Boy Scout movement more
than Imperial Valley does. 1t is doubt

"She sure is' said Buster.
The next afternoon, instead Of
going adventuring, Uncle Wiggily
hoped to the field back Of the
Hollow Tree School to watch the
football game.
He was just in time to see the
teams line up in front of the goal
posts and to watch Buster kick off
the ball from the middle of the
field. 1t was a fine day Of sun
shine, but the air was cold.
Johnnie Bushytail caught the
ball and ran back 20 yards before
Sammie Littletail, a rabbit player,
tackled and downed him.
Line up fellows!" bleated Billie
Wagtail, captain of the team that
now had the ball.
Hold that line! Hold that line!'
yelled Buster.
The Raid
Then the real part of the game
began. with line plunges, line
smashes, end runs, trick plays, for
ward passes and all that. Uncle
Wiggily cheered and shouted and
was so excited that he jumped on
his own hat. Oh, it was a great

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FOOTBALL

Buster, Custer. Muster, Duster
and some of Uncle Wiggily's other
little rabbit boys had made up a
football eleven. Buster was captain
and he told the other players what
to do with the ball to win the game
from the other team. The other
team was made up of Johnnie and
Billie Bushytail, the squirrels, Jack
lie and Peetie Bow Wow. the puppy
dog boys, Billie Wagtail the goat,
and some guinea pigs, ducks and
one pussy cat boy named Tommie.
Billie the goat was captain of the
other team and the animal boys
had much fun playing football in a
field back of the Hollow Tree
School.
Buster and his rabbit players
wore football suits made out of
slippery elm bark. They were so
slippery, especially in a rain (for
they played in the raim that the
squirrel, dog and guinea pig players
on the other team had hard work
to hold them from putting the

ball to understand that a touch
down counted points.

! tons an avalanche of letters--Well
dozen or so anyWay-arrived by
! the next post calling me dolt Tor
failing to remember that form
means nothing in games involving
the big three.
If I had a touch of sense, the
letters pointed out in effect, would
have known that the very fact that
Yale looked so sorry and Princeton
so grand, was proof positive that
Yale was going to win. That's the
way it has been since the dawn OF
time, my correspondents poinNd
! out-the worse the team, the bet
ter its chances. In short, they made
it clear that it was only the unin-
formed who, in choosing the win
ner of Big Three game, leaned
toward the team with the best rec
ord, best players, best condition.
After reading these letters and
/ absorbing the advice therein, L
made mental note to follow my
correspondents counsel when the
next Big Three game came around.
Well, it comes around tomorrow
Harvard versus Yale. My choice to
win is Yale, but I'm going to pick
Harvard. Rather. my correspond.
ents are going to pick it for me.
! According to their reasoning,
Harvard is a cinch. On paper, the
I Crimson hasn't got chance. 1t lost

than Yale was. 1t is no match for
! Yale in experience or speed, and Is
very vulnerable to passing, which
is Yale's chief weapon. But this,
the letter writer's argue, is Just why
Harvard can't lose.
In picking Harvard Preserve but
one right-and that is TO write the
Yales who wrote me and burn them
up if Yale, despite its superiority,
happens to win.
AS for the other games, this de-
partment, which has shown an un-
canny knack for picking losers, sees

IF NEW DEAL

PITT SB URGH, March %
0N.So-Belief that Fascism may
invade the United States If efforts
OF the Roosevelt and succeeding
administrations fail to restore or
der In the economic system was
expressed here by Prof. ]. R. Mat
thews, formerly Of Vanderbilt Col
lege. Prof. Matthews said:
''Fascism aims to restore old
national relationships, stepping
backward rather than moving
forward. Extreme nationalism
h the ultimate aim Of this form
OF government"
Granting that there are no out
standing movements in this coun-
try toward the German and
Italian systems of governments,
the educator asserted several
activities Of the New DeaT' lean
in that direction. He added that
the Government should make it
clear and emphatic that it has no
desire to go over to the Brown or
Black Shirt systems.
Criticises New Deal
The former Vanderbilt profes-
Sor slapped repeatedly at the New
Deal" because of it's attempt to
maintain homage to the Great
God Of Price," He pointed out
that for the first time in history
the scarcity of commodities and
products was not natural but had
to be created through crop reduc-
ton methods. He continued:
''Under the New Deal we
must protect the people Of the
United States against the threat
Of abundance. What the Agri-
cultural Adjustment AdminiStra-
tiOn means when it gives crop
reduction order, is that there is
too much cotton, for example,
to maintain the God of Price,"
Charges RetardatiOn
Professor Matthews charged
that reduction Of cotton produc-
ton through the plowing under
Of 100000 acres Of cotton was
not recovery but retardation.
That, he argued, is the spirit Of
Fascism.
Professor Matthews again raped
the New DeaT' in the congress
sional action of giving the Presi-
dent almost dictatorial powers.
This, he said, despite the present
emergency, creates IAN ominous
tendency. which is in the spirit Of
the Fascist movement"
