POWER SUBJECT
FOR TALK HERE

Addressing the Ell Centro Kiwanis
club Friday noon, j. E. Collins of
Riverside pictured the Southern ST.
erras Power company as a pioneer
ing organization that helped build
Imperial Valley and now asks only
for a fair consideration Of its pro
posals.
Collins. vice president and general
manager of the Imperial Ice and
Development company, in dealing
with the contention of the district
board that it will consider nothing
but purchase of the power COM
pany's facilities said: Looking at
the financial statement of the dis
trict, the natural question arising in
the minds Of anyone would be: Just
what would they use for money!"
The average electric bill in the
valley last year was $64.66 according
10 Collins. He maintained that this
is not unreasonable when compared
with the average cigarette bill of
S54.75 or the average milk bill of
$50. Collins said that rates are but
one-third what they were when the
power company first started poera-
tions in the valley.

FOR |. Y. REGION

A caller at Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce headquarters Thurs

visited Ell Centre in May in con-
nection with the Milk Institute
dairy tour arranged to show coast

ton retail routes in the nearby

he stated to Manager Hays that
he had made a purchase of three

hay for his winter requirements
and found this Imperial Valley
hay to be of finer quality than
ever before.
Mathis stated that the visiting
dairymen were much impressed
with what they saw in Imperial
Valley and with the heavy yields
CT feed here. The reports of the
Milk Institute dariymen's tour,
Mathis stated, were that many of
the wishing dairymen were i'm
pressed with conditions here and
some of them might at some fu-
ture time decide to move their
operations to Imperial Valley.
Several dairymen who were on the
trip have written in for additional
information regarding leases, and
other matters, indicative that the
tour is doing its work for as a re-
suit dairymen are thinking more
of Imperial Valley as place for
their future operations.

GAVIN LUMBER
FIRM LOCATED
IN Ell CENTRO

FL Centre has gained a new bus
mess institution in the transfer here
from Heber of the M. H. Gavin Lum-
Der and Grain company which has
opened its new yards at South
Fourth street and Ross avenue.
The firm moved here because of
the more central location and the
belief that FL Centre is destined for
rapid future growth, according to
Neal H. Gavin, manager and part
owner of the concern.
The Gavin company was founded
in Heber in 1916 by M. H. Gavin,
and has been operating there ever
since. With the death of NJ. H
Gavin in June, 1885, Neal Gavin
who had been associated with his
father in the business, assumed
charge and is making the change
of location. Mrs. M. H. Gavin
widow Of the former owner, will
maintain her residence temporar-
lily in Heber. Mr.. and Mrs. Neal
Gavin have lived in El Centre since
1929. where both are widely ac-
quainted and Gavin is active in
lodge activities.
At the new El Centro location, the
firm has constructed four buildings
and expects to start work immedi,
ately on another. Most of the ma
terial and stock will be moved here
next week, Gavin said, although the
firm is now open for business in the
sale of all kinds of lumber and
building. material, building hard
ware. grain, seed and poultry sup
plies.

HEARST VIEWPOINT GIVEN.

NEW YORK, October 2l R.-H.
NJ. Bitner. general manager of Hearst
Newspapers, last night issued the fol-
lowing statement in connection with
the collapse at Washington of nego-
tiations to settle a strike by the Amer
ican Newspaper Guild against the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, . Hearst
publication.
Twenty six. principally junior
members of the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer news staff, of a total of 90
members, struck on August IS in an
attempt to compel reinstatement OF
two members Of the staff, who had
been discharged for cause. The two
men discharged had submitted their
cases to the National Labor Relations
Board previous to the action of the
strikers.
Without waiting for determine
ton Of the case, which the manage
ment Immediately went in to defend.
the strike was called.
mo question was raised by the
strikers with regard to hours. wages
or working conditions. The standards
in these respects on the Seattle Post
Intelligencer were among the highest
in Seattle and the northwest area.
THE Hearst newspapers are the
largest employers of union labor in
the printing trades in this country,
and in continuation Of their many
years of friendly relationship with
these unions and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, have sought to CO.
operate with the executives of the
American Federation of Labor in a
desire to find a solution to the present
difficulties.
.Mr. Green has indicated that the
American federation has COM
municated with the publisher Of the
paper and with the Seattle Central
Labor Council. conveying suggestions
by the Executive Committee Of the
American Federation of Labor.
This recommendation has not yet
been received, and not knowing what
1t contains, we are not in q position to
comment on it.
THE management of the Post-In-
telligencer has endeavored to meet
all reasonable demands and has in
dicated its willingness to take back,
without prejudice or discrimination,
the striking employees. even though
neither in court nor in the National
Labor Relations Board has there been
q finding that the two men were not
rightfully discharged.
THE management Of any Hearst
newspaper cannot endanger its serv-
ices to its readers in the accuracy of
its news, nor the independence Of its
editorial policy. by giving any pref
erence to any organization in the
selection Of its editorial or reportorial
staff"
