EPSON SALT Is AID
IN RAISING TURKEYS
Bitter Drug Improves Appetites of
Birds, Says Expert.
B,y Science Service

By Science Serrice
VANCOUVER, Wash, Dec. 20. -
To Junior, overstuffed with turkey
at the Christmas feast, EPSON salt
may be simply disagreeable after
math of forfeit. But to the turkey
the same bitter drug might have
served as a preliminary treatn en-.
to put him into better condition for
the carving knife.
Jerome Simkins, turkey-raising
farmer near here, states that he i'm
proves the appetites of his birds for
their fattening ration by weekly
doses of EPSON salt.

The establishment of an air de-
Tense base in Alaska has come
closer to realization with the pas
sage of the Wilcox Bill for Air De-
tense by the Senate July %. This
bill authorizes the Secretary of War
to determine the location of six new
air defense bases, one OF which is
to be in Alaska.
The establishment of the base in
Alaska is an objective that the
Delegate has been working for for
some time, and it would appear that
the definite designation of Alaska
for the site of one of the six bases
in the bill indicates that his con-
slant stressing of Alaska's strategic
position in a plan of national de-
Tense is going to produce the de-
sired result.

establishment and has been since its
present management assumed control 1t
has respect for labor unions, but it can
not condone acts of violence by labor un-
ions or any other organization of what
ever type it may be- The good name and
the right of FL Centre to peace, quiet and
order are the foremost concern, surpass-
ing the claims or inelinations of any
group or faction.
At the same time the wisdom of arm
ing inexperienced men with firearms
must be challenged. With harmless but
effective gas available, yesterdays at
tack could have been repulsed without
loss of life. The strikers, by invading
private property, were trespassers, and
from the missiles hurled were dangerous
trespassers. That they were dangerous
to the point of taking lives is open to
question: no evidence of firearms in the
strikers ranks being produced. 1t is al
so asserted no regular police officer or
deputy used his gun. Under such pres
sure as yesterdays attack stimulated,
thinking is difficult and unframed men
find it practically impossible.
Because heads were lost two men died,
regret for which this publication shares
with the entire community. Nobody
wants men killed, be they strikers, strike
breakers, officers of the law, or innocent
persons who are in danger when such
outbreaks occur.
This community has today had close
escape from martial law, which would
have put the national guard in control of
affairs, something no citizen, business
man or resident wants, and to which
they should not be subjected because of
the unlawful acts of a small group, many
of whom are not residents of this COM
munity.
The right of men to strike is not chal-
lenged. Their right to disrupt the order
ly life Of community is.
Officers of the law, heretofore toler-
ant of the strikers and permitting them
to picket packing sheds, have today es-
tablished a restricted area around the in
dustrial section, prohibiting entry to
none but those having legitimate bus
mess within it.
This, perforce, weakens the strikers
ability to function. 1t had to be done for
Yesterdays tragedy proved the leaders of
the strikers cannot control their men.
The situation has changed from legitl-
mate strike to condition where the rule
of the mob threatens and that cannot
nor will not be permitted.

ORDERLINESS PARAMOUNT

Papers throughout the nation today
carry lengthy stories date-lined El Cen
tro. They are not stories which will be
of any benefit to this city. On the con-
trary they can do only harm to the COM
munity which we call home.
Two men were slain here yesterday in
labor dispute-the lettuce strike, if you
will--which has been in progress for sew
eral days past.
The peace and quiet of FL Centre has
been outraged, not only by the deaths of
these two men but by the reaction which
that tragedy had on the lives Of all who
heard of it. Women, mothers of little
children, worried and indeed were terror
stricken throughout the day and night,
not knowing when those responsible for
yesterdays tragedy might break out
in disturbance such as caused the trag-
edy and possibly extend their activities
to other parts of the city. A mob knows
no limits and yesterdays tragedy was
mob action.
Who was responsible for it?
The blame must be laid at the doors of
the strikers. Since the strike started
they have pledged that there would be no
violence. Their leaders made that pledge
to this paper as well as to city officielS.
It has not been kept Acts of violence
have marked the strike each day of its
existence.
Last Wednesday, at the outset of the
strike, this paper made an appeal to both
sides to get together, either with or with
out the assistance of disinterested par
ties, and settle the strike.
Yesterday, at the very hour the riot
which cost the lives of two men was
staged, such conference was in session,
with a federal mediator present to lend
his assistance. Seven representatives of
the strikers were there with like dele
CATION from growers and shippers. While
their chosen representatives were at
tempting to reach an agreement, the
strikers, either with or without the con-
sent of their leaders, invaded private
property. Accounts differ as to which
group preeipitated the attack. 1t cannot
be denied that had the strikers not been
where they should not have been, especl-
ally at that particular time, with their
delegates in conference, there would have
been no killings. Whether the group went
of their own accord or on the advice OF
their leaders, it was a poorly-advlsed
venture and those who staged it must as
sumo the responsibility for the results.
This cannot be construed as an anti
