Imperial Valleys labor situation
was the theme of the talk given by
General Pelham D. Glassford last
night at the Spruce-Westmorland
farm center meeting held in the
Westmorland school.
The general emphasized the TACT
that he is trying to lay a ground
work of understanding between en-
ployers and employees and while he
does not believe that this will do
away entirely with labor controver-
sizes, he does believe that it may les
sen the number of disputes and
make them more easily settled.
General Glassford also made 1t
clear that he is here to gather in
formation, being sent by the feder-
al government to whom his report
will be made when it is ready and
to no one else.
In discussing Communism, Cen
eral Glassford said that Commun-
lists, so-called, were less welcome in
Imperial Valley than in any part
of the nation and that he did not
blame the valley residents. However,
he warned them to be careful IN

LOCAL WATER
RATES CHEAP

Ell Centre water users who may be
inclined to grumble about water
rates here as being too high and
decide that they "ought to write d
letter to the paper about it," have
little cause for compile st, according
to officials of the city water depart
ment.
Phil w. Knights, city engineer,
and VIM. Leeky, assistant in charge
of the water department point out
that according to figures compiled
in a recent engineering magazine
relative to water costs in some "a
cities scattered throughout the coun-
try, Ell Centrans pay relatively
low maximum rate for the water
they use.
An average taken of these "a ci-
ties, according to the figures in the
magazine, registers 80 cents per 1000
while the local rate is but 16 cents
per 1000, considerable saving to
local water users.
This table shows, for instance,
that the rate in Manchester, Conn.,,
is 33 cents, in Pasadena, II cents;
Tucson 80 cents, Centralia, ILL.,, 40
cents; Tampa, Fla. % cents Ma
tional City, Calf, 40 cents with
others in proportion.

HeLUes Back
From Capital

I'VE feel that the trip was high
ly successful" Evan T. Hewes
chairman OF the irrigation district
board of directors said this morn
ing relative to the conferences held
this week with the state highway
commission in Sacramento con-
cerning the construction of high
way bridges over the proposed
All-American canal route.
HeweS stated that the commission
referred the matter to its engi-
neering department to study the
specifications for the proposed
bridges and report back at later
date before the budget is made
up by the commission in Septem-
ber for next year.
The valley group was given every
consideration at this hearing and
returned last night feeling that
the commission was favorably i'm
pressed by the situation as it was
presented to them and further
realizing that it is partly their
responsibility to take care of the
construction of these bridges.
Seven and possibly eight bridges
are to be constructed over the
canal route but this matter has
not as yet been conclusively de-
termined. Present plans call for
eight such bridges but a revision
of the canal route may change
this number to seven.

PIPE SAMPLES
EXHUMED AT
SALTON Sc A

Imperial Valley was the scene OF
a prospecting expedition this morn
ing, in the Mundo area near Salton
Sea, but it was not gold for which
the prospectors sought. In fact the
expedition was after nothing more
elegant than a lot of iron pipe.
The expedition included DR.. H.
K. Logan, of the U. S. bureau of
standards at Washington, DR.. H. F..
Putnam, of the Standard Oil Com
pany of California, San Francisco:
F. w. Dougherty Of the Republic
Steel Works, Los Angeles, and three
representatives of the American
Cast Iron Pipe company, DR.. Wolf
Of Chicago, DR.. Mckenzie of Bir-
mingham, Alabama, and Mr.. Brown
of the companys Los Angeles Of
flee.
A crew of Southern California
Telephone company men under the
direction of Jack Snuffin, did the
excavating for the party, unearth-
ing numerous samples of iron pipe,
plain, fancy, coated and uncoated,
which have been buried for the past
six years. The samples will be ship
ped to the bureau of standards next
week for study of the effect of the
soil elements on them.
On Monday group of telephone
company scientists and chemists
will make trip to the same vicin-
ity to dig up samples of cable and
wire which have also been under
going tests.
1--WE valley residents had lot OF
fun with the visitors" Snuffin said.
None of them had overcoatS and
none seemed to need them. Water
was in great demand and the east
ern and coast scientists made quick
work of it once the samples were
dug up, preferring to examine them
at length in cooler place than the
shores of Salton Sea-"

their actions toward Communists so
as to give them no background for
exaggerating their treatment. He
declared the Communists are well
organized nationally and have al
ready sent out much publicity which
has placed the valley in an unfav-
orable light.
Farm Advisor Talks
Frank G.. Beyschlag, farm advis-
or, talked on proration of crops,
stating that a new philosophy had
developed as a result of the depres-
sion and the new deal, the philoso-
ply that individual minorities may
have to give way to the majority
when that majority is agreed on j
plan, whether it be proration OF
acreage or shipments.
Chester Vaughn, fire chief OF
Westmorland spoke on fire hazards
and their prevention and stated
that also it is a well-known axiom
that there are more fires in times OF
depression than in good times.
Since the number of fires in 1888
was one-half less than in 1882, he
declared he believed that better
times are on the way.

Wheat rallied after wide break
but turned down again on rain pre-
dictions for the drought area.
The last half hour squirt of buy
ing by the stock bears came when
the senate was going into session to
take final action on the stock ex-
change regulation bill. Uncertain as
to Just what the bill would do to
markets, the shorts we re taking no
chances.
At the lows the prices were down
fractions to 3 points.
Earlier in the session, longs did

siderable selling of weakly margin

Those issues rallied on the late re-
covery. Most of them, however, clos
ed under last nights last levels.
American Telephone was steady
when the market was declining and
rose a point when the shorts cover
ed. Its strength was based on anti
cipation directors would order the
regular quarterly dividend of 1925

new lows in the first part of the
session on outlook for reduction in
output. They rallied frorc the poor
est levels, but closed lower

feet imperSonationS of radio no
tables, open the picture as their
voices produce flawless limitations
of several celebrities of the world
of the ether waves.
One of the first shots of a large
metropolitan radio station, when
the course of the story first lands
Dick Powell there, affords a per-
formance of the inimitable Mills
Brothers as they render, "It Wasn't
Told to Mel Only Heard"
Ginger Rogers, as a radio per-
former, is heard as she sings "Out
for No Good" the first Warren and
Dublin music to be heard in the en-
gaging picture.
The -Four Mills Brothers, when

rendition of the catchy tune,
"HoWm I Doin!?" which starts feet
tapping in time.

unfolds, is I'll String Along With
You" another Warren and Dublin
