 CIO workers agreed to proposal for an immediate election as to which union would represent the workers in bargainings.
 The members of the CIO union also asked for the election on the condition that the industry publish statements repudiating the activities of foremen in attempting to influ- ence employees toward voting for an AFL representation.
 The CIO, AFL and the canned salmon industry leaders will pass on the eligibility of those voting, the vote being confined to those work CTS employed in Alaska during 1937
 AFL workers also acceded to the proposal for an immediate election. but held out for the inclusion of 1886 workers in the voting as we'll as those employed in the salmon industry in 1897.
 In Tacoma and in Bellingham, AFL and CIO unions took the same action as Seattle workers.

THOSE WHITE HOUSE LUNCHEONS

Some time ago Joseph P. Ken- nedy, then Chairman of the Mari time Commission but now Ambas- sador to England, complained half jestingly that he could get a better lunch at home than at the White House. The White House chef, on his mettle, served the Chairman a fried chicken next time he came over But the White House doesn't cater to every big number who comes for lunch.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wal lace, who is disposed to favor veg cables, was a recent White House luncheon guest. We asked the White House if the Secretary goi vegetables. We were told in nice way that MT. Wallace was served what the rest were served.
 The chances are that if Secre- tary Wallace really kicked up a rumpus about the White House menu, he too would get fried chicken--or it's equivalent in spin- ach.

WASHINGTON. April 27. One Senator we know has solved at least part of this hotel tipping business.
 Many members of Congress live in some of the nicer hotels during the six or seven months they are in Washington. AS in any other business, certain amount of front" is essential for a member of Congress. Some of them were disposed to economize before they came to Washington but once here they can't live in trailer.
 Tipping in Westinghouse most every place else-is one of the penalties of existence even though it is the living of many a good waiter and bell hop. In this Sena- tors hotel it became a sort of racket. He said the bell boys be- gan delivering the mail at the rate of one letter at a time, expecting a tip for each. A Senator's mail is quite something.
 A dime tip was the minimum for a long time and every once in Q while when change was lacking, 1t took g cents. Now the Senator keeps one vest pocket full of nick els and uses them for tips only. In addition, he keeps a tray of nickels Cor should we call them live-cent pieces) handy by the door to the apartment. It immediately put the letter delivery business on a five cent basis.

Railroad Crisis in U. S.;
 Just What Does 1t Mean?
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, April 28.-If you can't make head or tail of that rail- road crisis the President tossed to Congress the other day, console yourself
 Some of the worlds ablest finan- ciers and the cream of railroad gen. jus have been trying to solve one railroad crisis after another for more than hundred years.
 It's wonder the railroads are still with us.
 They have competed with eacn other ruthlessly; they have been hit by competition, from buses, automobiles, trucks, airplanes, pipe lines and electric power lines.
 They have been in seven finan- cial panics since 1887, with inves- tors bearing the brunt each time They have borne regulation good, bad and indifferent from 48 states and the Federal govern ment
 Through the years taxes and labor costs have scared; today the railroads are paying annually $240 0000,000 in taxes, $2,0OO, 900, ,0OO in wages
 Why They Survived
 The railroads have survived and held their place as basic industry still as important as it's recent rival the automobile, for these reasons: 1-The American public needed
 rapid transportation to develop
 this young and amazingly rich
 nation. The railroads were the
 answer.
 2.-Railroad inventive genius con-
 stantly figured out ways to
 cut costs and increase safety
 and comfIrt. The first steel
 rails cost s218 ton. The Besse-
 mer steel process had brought
 rails to $28 ton by 1914 The
 Westinghouse air brake brought
 trains under scientific control

association with the cow testing
association and their recognition
IN the valley.
At the Imperial county fair, where
more than $4,000 valley folks will
throng starting March 5, there
has been completed a new building
for the housing of one of the worlds
most talked of animals, swine.
The needed increase for housing
facilities for swine indicated that
the valley is again becoming vitality
interested in a section of the live
stock industry that is adapted TO
Imperial county.
There was a time, in the early
days of valley history, when there
we're thousands of hogs in the coun-
ty. But an epidemic of cholera
which swept through the nation,
wiped out hundreds of head of the
swine.
While the losses in Imperial Val
lev were no more severe than il
other sections of the United States
the valley farmers realized that
other things could be raised here
in substitution for hogs. Other sec
tions of the country where the
cholera hit, were handicapped be-
cause no other form of livelihood
was afforded by nature.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-03-03

In the matter of housing. The
continual mild weather eliminates
the necessity of building elaborate
homes for the swine. In the east,
where the Wintry blasts are some
thing to run from. the hog raiser
must provide heat for his stock as
well as alright buildings.
In Imperial Valley the breeder
'an handle his housing costs for
much less than 10 per cent of his
gross profit while in the east the
housing costs often run into thou
lands of dollars.
The feed problem is easy to solve
in Imperial Valley, while in other
sections of the nation feeding some
ines offers a problem as tantali2-
ing as trying to please an ange~sd
wife.
Pasture is available the year
around Crop rotation can be es-
tablishod and as a result the feed
ing cost is almost as simple to dis
pose of as the housing problem
The old saying that pigs will cat
anything is almost correct. Pigs will
eat anything they get their snoots
on, including the oldest of garbage
and dried uD cantaloupc rinds.

Average Output
Double US. Mark

The fact that the valley average
production per COW is nearly twice
that of the United States would
indicate that the valley is an ideal
place to establish a dairy under
the program mapped by G.. E. Cor
don.
Economical feed production and
a ready market further make the
valley a haven for dairymen.
Completion of the All American
canal and the eventual increase
Of farms assures a permanency for
the dairyman that will entlce many
coast dairy owners here.
Rotation of crops in pasture will
enable dairymen to remain on ONE
plot of land over long period, ex-
perimentS have shown, thus adding
another factor to insure low cost
production with the highest possible
yield.
Scheniman, FarnsWorth and Have
korst dairy herds, which car
ried off many honors at the county
fair last year and which are eX-
pected to do equally as we'll this
season, are examples of the type

an item and housing conditions
are virtually the same all over.
Strict housing conditions and
strict feeding diet must be followed
in order to make a profit In the
poultry business.
Sheep raising has become an i'm
portant livestock industry in the
valley in the past few years a.
thousands of head of sheep are
brought to the valley each winter
Those sheep, pastured out, have
been found to thrive and develop
better in valley pasture than In
any other winter homes.
Thus, as thousands of valleyite1
walk slowly through the exhibit
buildings at the county fair. they
will be viewing the valleys mosl
promising industries. industries
which are certain to make the
county thriving agricultural COM
munity strengthened by a stability
that has never before been enjoyed
in the garden spot of America.
The list of entries in the fair
now include more than $50 cattle.
$50 sheep, 300 hogs and other live
stock including poultry. rabbit,

The third advantage in favor of
the valley hog grower is the proxi-
nifty of the Los Angeles market.
Inc Los Angeles market is the
highest hog market in the world.
And so, in summing up, the val

'Dairyynen Had
A Cinch LiDing..'

Dairymen had a cinch living. AT
! least it seemed SO.
Then came the financial collapse
of the nation. Prices fell to a Level
lower than Death Valley and just
about as fatal. Dairymen moved
| from the valley, selling, or in some
, instances almost giving away their
| stock.
Empty house and COW barns ap-
peared where dairies had been and
! the dairy ranches were supplanted
by other types of farming.
Through this period of financial
bewilderment one group of dairy
men struggled along under a pro-
gram of breeding, feeding and weed
ing, program that developed first
class herds and increased produc-
ton on an economical basis.
Careful selection of breed of cat
tie was stressed. Feeding of cattle
which failed to produce on a money
making basis were weeded from
the herd.
The program OF breeding, feeding
and wedding, started in the state
of California as early as 1920 by
G.. E. Gordon, extension service
specialist, raised the average butter
fat production from 1872 pounds
per COW per year to 265 pounds.
The reaching CT 265 pounds in 1890
throughout the state of California
revealed that dairying could be
made into a profitable industry
by care of herds.
The 265 pound average, deter
mined by report of every produc-
ing dairy COW in the state, definite
