The Farm Wage Scale
Here and Elsewhere

To the average logical mind there
doesn't seem to be any need for comment
on the ultimatum issued by the Associat-
ed Farmers of California that they will
not deal with union labor organizations
In agriculture until other farmers in the
United States are paying wages compar-
able with those paid in California. The
only reason labor organizers will continue
trying to unionize farm labor in this
state is that labor organizers do not rea-
son logically.
These figures speak for themselves:
The national average wage for farm la
borers, with board, is S25.51 a month;
the California average is $4975. The ma
tional average, without board, is S39.71;
the California average is $74 The ma
tional average for daily wages, with
board, is $1.39, and the California aver
age in the same category is 1920. The
national daily wage average, without
board, is S1.S3; the California average
is $500.
Here is the other side of the picture:
California farmers, as we in Imperial
Valley well know, are in direct compe-
tition, when they send their crops to
eastern markets, with the farmers in
other states who obtain labor far more
cheaply than can our farmers. The Cali
fornia farmer, in other words, goes to
market already handicapped. He is fac
ed with two alternatives. He can take a
lesser profit than the other farmer de-
mands or he can demand higher price
and probably leave his goods unsold.
1t seems self-evident that the Califor-
MIA farmer cannot give in to demands of
union agents for higher wages without
cutting his own economic throat. If he
pays more in wages, he shaves his margin
of profit so thin that he cannot continue
in business If he demands higher prices
in the markets, to offset greater wages,
he will lose his market to other farmers
who can afford to sell for less.
If the union organizers were parti-
cularly brilliant, they would withdraw
their efforts from California until the
national farm wage average has been
brought up to that established by agri-
culture in this state.

If their avowed principles be fact,
both the CLIO and the A.Fof L.
are striving for the same goal, the
improvement of laboring conditions
and just distribution of industrial
profits. But in place of united action
toward fulfillment of that aim, the
past year has been factional battles,
fraught with violence, for the right
to control.
Taking no sides in the controv-
ersy, the average indiviual can easily
see the gigantic waste of effort that
might have been put to better use.
That there are convincing argu-
ments of organization along the lines
laid down by the CLIO. is undoubt-
edly true. And equally admissible are
the contentious of the A.F of L.
that the course of action it has
pursued in organization is sound.
But there Is no truth, no basis
in fact or reason that one faction,
and one alone should be supreme,
dominant in every instance. If labor
would reach the goals it has set for
itself it will be necessary for the
leaders of these two great organ
izations to sit down, in amiable con-
ference, each granting concessions,
each agreeing on spheres of influ-
ence" and control. Only in this way
can American labor achieve great
use.

Take Ne Out
To the Ball Game

Ell Cenro will dedicate its new munich
pal baseball park next Sunday with pro-
fessional baseball contest that will be of
undoubted interest to every baseball fan
in Imperial Valley. 1t is to the others
those who take only a passing interest
in baseball-that the contest should ap-
peal most. Especially should those who
take pride in their community make an
especial effort to attend
The fact that several well known Paci-
fic Coast league players, whose names
are famous from Seattle to San Diego,
will take part for one team or the other
should be sufficient to attract the rabid
baseball enthusiasts.
The fact that FL Centro is launching
a civic project which will mean hundreds
of words of publicity for this community,
and should return a cash profit to the
city treasury, should be sufficient to
attract the others to the new municipal
park on Sunday.
1t is hard to imagine the attractiveness
of the new baseball park without seeing
it. In this undertaking, Ell Centro has
given itself one of the best municipal
parks in the southwest. 1t has provided
an attractive setting not only for base
ball, but for every other kind of outdoor
athletic contest or gathering. 1t has es-
tablished a municipal meeting ground
which probably will become more and
more important to the community as time
goes on. We cannot afford to miss the
dedication Sunday.

the Democrats at the polls in 1923 that, in rebutal

In calling conference of Republican party
leaders for November at Washington, Chairman
John Hamilton evidently takes the same view of
the II million votes cast for Landon at the last
election that Roosevelt then prominent politi-

OF course the general policy of greater national
