John l.. LelUis' UItimatum Roose-
ueIt's Election Debt LABOR
Demands Payment

WASHINGTON-Even the friends and ad-
mircrs of John L. Lewis are mixed up as 10
the wisdom, implications and possible Gonse- Sc
quences of his call to President Roosevelt Tor
help in the General Motors strike, accompanied
as it was by pointed reference to Roosevelts
political obligations to organized labor
It can be asserted confidently that Lewis
felt he knew exactly what he was doing when
he served notice of expecting Roosevelt help
AGAINST a common enemy and also that the
effect on the inner White House circle was
something approaching CONSERVATION
Although this will be denied, Roosevelt had
to all intents and purposes been intervening IN
the strike through long distance telephone con-
yersations with Gov. Frank Murphy OF Mlchl-
gan The extent to which the president made
recommendations to Murphy as to his handllne
of the situation cannot be revealed mere, put
the governors refusal to allow troops TO DC USED
against strikers or to permit local forces to try
to eject stdown strikers an outstanding
event in labor history.
The interesting thing is that there had been
no communication about the strike beCWeen
Roosevelt and Lewis, although the lattcr's group
spent more time, money and effort ON RooSc-
velt's reelection than any other group did.
o
II is open to argument, perhaps whether the
Lewis challenge to Roosevelt actually consti-
tuted an admission of weakness or claim OF
strength.
II has been obvious tnat the Unlteu AuCOlIo-
bile Workers had signed up less than majori-
ty of g. M workers and that the Committee
for Industrial Organization had practically been
forced to throw itself into the strike.
Nevertheless CLIO. leaders have been elated
at membership gains made in the face OF In
tensive labor espionage and other union-bust-
ing tactics.
On the other hand, the Lewis movement has
tied up huge corporation and dozens of its
plants About $4,000 men are out of work
That's hardly a weak position and Lewis, in
his startling Statement--which was partly de-
signed to buck up his forces-at least believed
he was on the safe fighting ground. Any strike
is a gamble. and the appearance of groups of
loyal workers in opposition to the strike is
giving Lewis plenty of concern
Some of the experts on labor strategy in
the Lewis camp are convinced that he has
taken a strong position and that he chose
good time publicly to remind the president of
debt to labor
1t is also true that Lewis was correct in
saying Roosevet's political pals in labor were

Pont- Morgan group is we'll known, and the cor

Furthermore, the same school argues, Lewis
and the CLIO. will have won big victory If
they can come out of the present struggle with
even toehold the industry which labor

SHORT WORD HARD TO PRONOUNCE
Ventura Free Press

There are times when honest people are
tempted to wonder if, after all, honesty is the
best policy"
Two incidents in the recent holiday season
in Ventura have come to light wherein lost
purses were found by young men who are en-
ployed in semi-public capacity. These men
hold their jobs because they are honest with
their employers and with the public
woman lost her purse and one of the
Young men found It, 1t contained eighteen
dollars and, among other things the owners
card and her address Without waiting for
the loser to advertise her loss, the young man
made a trip after hours and delivered the purse.
The purse was eagerly acceptd-but without
thanks. HfT
BOY you were received like a prince" was
his comment Il found purse with $l34 in it.
Two hours later woman appeared at the Of
flee and described her loss When handed
it over she not only failed to thank me, but
she grabbed it out of my hand as if had
robbed her and was about to swallow her purse"
The simple work thanks" is not difficult
to pronounce. It's occasional use in the proper
time and place is worth more than money.
Simple appreciation is stimulant to honest
souls These two young men are honest by ma
ture and will doubtless continue in that manner.
But there have been many persons soured on
honesty by just such treatment as here record

STEEL DOES IT'S BIT
FOR RECOVERY

How one of the greatest industries in
the United States will contribute TO re-
covery in 1887 is demonstrated in the
estimate that more than $290,000,000
will be spent by the steel industry dur
ing the year for new construction and
equipment. That S290,000,000 will be
put into circulation. Most of it will
find it's way ultimately into the pockets
Of the average American. This is how
private industry helps prosperity.
The estimate may be low. Early in
1886, the industry estimated what it
would spend for new construction and
equipment. The estimate proved too
low by $16,OO0,O0O The same may be
true of 1887.
If steel is left alone, it may be large
factor in the counrty's prosperity dur
ing the next eleven months. If, however
it is subjected to such strikes as those
tying up the automobile industry, then
9OOOO,0O0 may be lost to the average
American Industry is not altogether
heartless, grasping menace to the coun-
try. 1t is the means by which money
is circulated-and until some substitute
is found in our modern world for money,
some means for it's circulation is needed
Those who strike at industry strike at
themselves, ior every man, be he execu-
tive or lAprer, is part of industry.
II Now that industry is in position to
20 ahead, as the steel industry proves
it is, every American should wish it
God-speed.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. l. U.p :
While uppercase stars moan about
the thousands they must pay Uncle
Sam for income tax, figures releas-
ed by Central Casting reveal the
average lowly extra made $161.36
in 1886.
Extra wages during the year to-
tailed So, ,420, ,453.55 distributed among
some $4,000 men, women and chill
dren registered in casting bureau
books.
The average is purely mathema-
tical--some of the $4,000 didn't work
lick all year. while others earned
comfortable livings-but the whole
gives some idea of the tarnishec
condition of film "glamor" at the
base of the acting pyramid.
On the average production day
1853 extras were employed on all
lots, at an average Of $9.02. Daily
wages for adults ranged from $500
to $35, the bulk of backgrounders
receiving SIS. $3.50 and So Only
two turned in $35 days.
Those who depend entirely on
extra earnings are probably small
minority, most eking out incomes
with part time work in lunchrooms,
filling stations and such.
Whatever it is keeps the boys and
girls interested in such meager re-
turns remains Hollywood mys-
terry. 1t certainly can't be hope OF
becoming a Claudettc Colbert .or
Carolc Lombard at $150,000 a pic
ture, or a ,000-a-weck. Clark

from extra ranks in silent picture
days, but it hardly ever happens

It is a poor tribute to prosperity in

old truth that those who suffer most

LAND IN MEXICO
AND WATER FOR 1T

Because it has no sensational aspect,
the matter of water for Mexican lands
has been neglected in the current 1mpe-
rial Irrigation District campaign. 1t
can be neglected in the campaign-but
it cannot be neglected afterwards. Vot-
ers and candidates alike should remem-
Der that.
When water begins running into the
bitches and laterals of the irrigation
district from the All American canal,
it will be the end of contract whereby
Mexican lands are entitled to one-half
of the water entering Mexico in the dis
trict's main canal. 1t will not be the
end of the international water question;
it will be only the beginning of another
difficult situation.
What is to be done with the Compania
!. de Terrenos de la Baja California, Mexi-
can company controlled by the district?
To how much water from Imperial
Dam is Mexico entitled?
O1what basis will this water be sold
or O TItributed to Mexican lands?

Mexico, or dispose of it's system there,
and how?
ITOIlCS, SOIleIlIHcS, anu SOIHctllllco
losses in the Mexican company have
vitality affected assessment rates in the
Imperial Irrigation District So will the
sale of water from the All American
canal be reflected in the taxes we pay
in Imperial Valley. Bungling of negoti-
ations with Mexico could cost taxpay-
ers here big sum. Adequate handling
of the matter could save them many dol
lars.
If treaty is negotiated between the
United States and Mexico, the irriga-
tion districts policy will have a great
deal of influence upon the policy OF
the state department and the depart
ment of the interior in arranging the
treaty< If private agreement is reach
ed between Mexican land holders and
the district, the districts policy will be
the only protection for district taxpay-
ers.
There are American interests with
large holdings in Mexico. Their invest
ment there runs into the millions. They
have in the past, and can be expected
further, to use every means at their dis
posal for protecting their Mexican hold
ings, even at the expense of Amerinan
taxpayers.

There is nothing new about floods
in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys.
Impersonal and relentless, the
mighty rivers overflow their banks
periodically. They have done SO
ever since the first keel-boaters
went downstream from Pittsburgh;
apparently, they always will.
But because they are great high
ways. and because they flow through
the most fertile alleys on the planet,
these rivers have millions of people
along their banks. Great cities and
teeming farmlands lie on either
side, all the way to the Gulf. When
floods come, as they have come this
winter. the record is written tragi-
cally in terms of death, suffering,
disease and property loss
Now we have spent millions Of
dollars to get these rivers under
control. After each great flood a
new program is launched National
and state governments give money
generously; the best engineering
brains are summoned to see that
the money is spent wisely.
Yet one winter of abnormal rain
or snow seems able to cancel all Of
this control work between week.
ends. Despite all that has been
done, this winters rampage of the
Ohio is the worst in that rivers
history.
And that must mean that one Of
two things is true. Either we have
not been using the right tactics in
our control campaign-or the CAM
paign is doomed to defeat by the
very nature of things. and we shall
have disastrous floods every SO Of
ten in spite of anything we may
do.
IF the latter is the case, we can
| take it; we have SO far, at any
rate, and we probably can go on
doing so. But before we admit de-
feat, we might do well to study
the whole problem from a new
angle. Isn't there some other way
of attach that might lead to victory
1t may be that there is a way
strategy by which we would
look on the whole tremendous river
