PUTTING ON PRESSURE.

Last week this column commented on
the necessity of severe penalties being
imposed on those violating the game laws
while shooting doves, particularly cases
involving possession of more doves than
the law allows.
The most aggravating of such cases
involved two Los Angeles men, charged
with having 17S doves in their possess
sion, also three pheasants and two quail
Arraigned before Justice Una Bailey at
Westmorland, he imposed fines of 5000
each, $500 being for shooting pheasants,
which are protected at all times by the
game laws.
We have been informed that Judge
Bailey has received a telegram from
some state fish and game board official
asking him what he meant by imposing
such a severe fine. We are also in
formed that the men against whom the
fines were levied have politically influ-
entail friends in Sacramento and else
where, who are trying to bring pressure
to have the fines reduced or fixed" in
some other way.
Attempts to reach Judge Bailey today
to verify the information given us, have
not been successful. However, as it
comes to us from source We have reas-
on to believe we'll informed, there is JUS
tl1lcatl0n Tor using 1t mere.
We hope, and believe, that Judge
Bailey will ignore any intimidation
from any source because of his action.
He has the support of all true sports
men and good citizens in the valley for
imposing such heavy penalty, for it
was an aggravated offense with which
the defendants were charged.
Big shots" from the coast may be-
lieve there are only 'hicks' in Imperial
Valley but that is no reason for them to
believe they can violate the laws down
here with impunity and then expect in
fluence to get them out when they are
caught.
We have heard nothing but commend
alton for Judge Bailey's action and feel
certain the people of the valley uphold
his severity with ''game hogs.

Your high endorsement Of the

his capacity as special agent is
more than appreciated and it goes
without saying that both Mr.. Fallin

Very truly yours,

THE city is enshrouded in a gray
ish-yellow dampness that might
be compared to wet smoke if it were
possible for smoke to be wet. Five
steps ahead of you the humidity
appears so dense, so solid even as
to make the presence of air seem
impossible beyond-air must surely
be submerged in this murky wet
ness. But you enter it as you would
any fog, only breathing becomes
difficult and your eyes lose their
strength.
All the sounds of the vast city are
strangely merged into one dull muf-
fed colorless roar; at rare intervals
an automobile boots; less often YOU
hear voices, but perhaps that is
only because you are expecting
them. The bells of bronze have
lost their mellowness of tone. The
chimes do not die down slowly as
they usually do but stop short: it is
as though someone clamped a hat
on the belfry after each chime. A
ships siren sounds detected, as
though the vessel were weary or re-
luctant to venture into the fog.
In and out of the fog hurtle
sweaty taxicabS, and horse led We
hicles that look as if they were
smeared with oil. The damp pass
ers-by are curiously silent; coat
collars raised, hands deep in pockets
and heads thrust forward, they
stride up to one another with a
swiftness that suggests an impulsion
to escape disaster. The fog has i'm
priSoned them in a semi transpar-
ent bubble-a man in this bubble is
as the yolk in the white of an egg.
A Melting City

a damp wall are struggling to open
a huge black umbrella: it's end iabs
short fat man in the side, who
gives shout-when the two old
ladies, after waving their hands
with identical movements like me-
chanical toys, tremble all over and
utter phrases made up solely of ex-
carnations.
A wet dust covers the display win
dows Of the stores and the walls
of the houses. Everything seems
to be melting, to have soft contours,
as if made out of dirty ice blocks.
Ones imagination is attuned to the
fantastic. What if, all unknown to
the astronomers, the sun has burst
and the dead moon has melted, that
its thin liquid mass has cooled to
the temperature Of fresh milk to en-
velope the globe with a suffocating
gaseous humidity, with the earth
gripped in some process Of moist
decay which the mind cannot grasp.
This vast city inhabited by millions
of people has already begun to melt
and soon its stones, glass, metal,

Gleanings from the
Discussion on the School

Cledulllgs from the
Discussion on the School
Connecticut had district train
ing school recently and came to the
conclusion that training school
cannot be run successfully when it
is composed of students from both
the Party and mass organizations.
Minneapolis found the material
sent from the center too advanced
for their training schools. They
used the British textbook to good
advantage.
California is running a one month
school for agricultural workers and
is planning training schools for the
railroad, oil, and other concentra-
ton industries.
They are instituting system
Of making monograph records of
lessons on Fundamentals of Com
munism, The Role of Fascism and
War, What the Party Is, Political
Economy, etc, to be sent out to
sections where they cannot send
speakers and teachers.
Virginia finds it impossible to con-
slider having a District School be-
cause of the illegal conditions. Their
opinion Is that circuit schools
should be established instead.
North Dakota will have an Agri-
cultural Workers School to take the
place of the Workers Schools as
they are called in the industrial
centers,
Boston has class for shop chair
men in the Furniture Workers
Union, taking up problems of trade
union tactics.
Pittsburgh has been using "Why
Communism" extensively as a text
book in the various classes formed
there.
The New York District proposes
that Party teachers be sent out to
the other districts in the summer.
They also suggested that the most
developed comrades from the teach
ers' fraction should be sent out as
instructors to new districts. these
comrades to be instructed as to the
element of workers they are to teach
and the methods of approach.
Among the motions made by the
School Commission were the follow
ing:
That a circuit school for teachers
for concentration industries during
May and June by organized.
That during the fall two schools
be organized in the South and in
the West. That three full-time ma
tional training schools be arranged
each year to last Is weeks each.
That a fund of $1,000 be raised to
carry on the work of national train
ing schools, etc.
