secretary of the Dining Car Wait
r Union, Peter Mehrens and Mr..
Herman Friedlander has joined

solution to offer the working class,
and especially 10 the twenty mil

ployment. The Farm Labor Party

country is rich enough and large
enough to provide employment at
a living wage for everyone who is
willing to work.
The national organizer, Mr.. H.
Williams, who is also a candidate
for the U. S. Senate from Mime
sofa will be the principal speaker.
In order to get more acquainted
with our movement and to help us

Advantages derived from public as

to lower rate charges for consumers.
says a statement issued recently by
the Imperial Irrigation District
board of directors who are making
thorough study of such questions in
connection with their program Of Ali

Such advantages, say board mem
bers, are to be found under other
forms and are of equal importance
to the rate reductions.
Taking the city of Pasadena as an
example, the board pointed out that
in addition to sharp savings through
lower rates for local power consump-

city and citizens of Pasadena, ac-
countable to the light department
operations, amount to approximate
" S400,000 These savings are
brought about through lower costs
of street and other civic lighting
work; in the rate difference between
charges in Pasadena and in neigh
boring communities and from other
sources.
