THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREJUDICE AND LOGIC

Imperial county has been the target
many times in the past for jibes, ridicule
and downright slander from various pink
tinged individuals and committees sent
here, without previous knowledge of con-
ditions and without even a glimmer of
understanding, to investigate labor
conditions in various branches of indus
try and agriculture.
The past several months it seems to
us, have demonstrated beyond doubt
that the radically inclined gentry were
wrong about the "fascism" and red
batting" they declared to exist in Impe-
rial county. The trouble, we think, was
that these gentlemen-and ladies, too
failed to grasp the logic with which
Imperial county employers have met
their problems.
That logic has been proved in the last
several weeks. There have been at least
two instances in which workers demand
ed higher wages. One instance was in
Brawley, where packers demanded nine
cents a crate-and got it. The other
is a current issue, with hay balers de-
manding 25 cents ton instead of 20
cents ton Their demands are peace
full Their strike started and-as this
is written-continues along peaceful
lines AS result, there is no effort to
coerce them into going back to work.
Their peaceful measures promise more
success than that which attended some
of the violence it has been this country's
misfortune t. witness.
These developments, it seems to us,
prove that the employers of this country
are not unwilling to negotiate with their
employees They prove, also, that no
peace officers in the county are interest
ed in interfering with peaceful negotia-
tions between employees and employers
1t is only when violence threatens or be-
comes fact that the law steps in That
is as it should be.
Imperial county is not working mans
hell nor an employers paradise. As long
as the issue is between local men, work
ing peacefully toward an agreement, it
is well and good
