Famous Sayings

If one thing ought to be clear
by this time, it is that a strike
won't settle the railroad problem.
Offhand, it looks as if strike
might be the only way out. The
railroad men swear that they can't
possibly go on paying the current
wage scale, for the best of reasons
to wit, they haven't got the
money The workers reply that they
are underpaid rather than over
paid, and that they can't afford a
cut any more than the railroads
can afford the present scale; and
they add that the trouble with the
railroads is their bankbegotten over
head anyhow and not their wage
rates.
When employer and employe talk
that way, and mean it, a strike is
the usual outcome. But it is hard
to think of a greater disaster for
both sides than a nationwide rail-
road strike right now.
For the trouble seems to be that
both sides are right.
The railroads can't pay the scale.
They haven't got the money. They
are in a spot, and if they don't
get some sort of financial relief
pretty soon there's going to be a

A FEELING OF GREAT
PRIDE IN ACHIEVEMENT .

To-day you must entertain feeling
of great pride in a fine achievement"
said Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes Tuesday when he addressed I'M
peria Valley pioneers while dedicating
the All American canal.
Yes, almost all of Imperial Valley to-
day feels great pride in fine achieve
ment-but Imperial Valley realizes too
that there are other achievements ahead.
Above all, the valley realizes that all of
its battles are not yet won.
An the threshold of new era, Impe-
rial Valley faces one and possibly two
major battles before its present program
shall be in full force.
One, which must be conquered before
the valley is ready to take full advantage
of its enviable position, is the matter of
bonded indebtedness. Even now that
problem is in the process of settlement;
yet too great complaisance has before
this lost victories seemingly already
won.
The valley must lose no opportunity
to move forward toward settlement of
its bonded debt.
On another front we are faced with a
struggle which has been half won, but
in which we cannot yet claim complete
victory Our municipal power lines are
up-but we must still see that our power
system is a success.
Knowing we face these two problems,
we should forge ahead solve them and
make Imperial Valleys program COM
plete one, to the last detail.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-10-19
NOW THAT THE
SHOUTING is OVER

The All American canal has had its
baptism of Colorado river water, and
the Imperial Irrigation Districts muni-
cipal power lines have cracked for the
first time under load of electricity
that eventually will serve farm and city
homes in this territory.
1t is safe to say that at least $4,000
persons attended the two dedication
ceremonies, one at Brawley and one
at Imperial dam. At the Brawley dedi-
cation there was the largest crowd col
lected in Imperial Valley for any pur-
pose.
To those officers of the Imperial Irri-
cation District who were largely respon-
sible for the outstanding success of both
affairs, the valley owes both congratu-
lations and thanks. 1t took minute plan
ming to carry through projects of such
mountainous size without a hitch; yet
seldom has there been celebration of
any kind in the valley at which there
was less confusion or disorder.
Arranging a barbecue for more than
10000 persons is no child's play, yet it
was done smoothly and we'll at BraWley
Monday night.
Even more difficult, perhaps, was the
precision with which the program was
carried forward at Imperial dam. Every
engineering detail, every traffic rule,
every police precaution, had to be dove
tailed to the minute. And they were.
The two ceremonies marked moment
Gus happenings in Imperial Valley, and
will be remembered for years, They

was fitting that they should be carried
out with prompt efficiency and thor
ough attention to detail. Yet the fact
that it should have been so does not de-
ract one mite from the praise due the
men who actually made it so.

Bruce Carton Says
- Railroads Solution Demands Faet-Finding

catastrophe That much is
admitted by all who know anything
at all about the railroads.
On the other hand, the railroad
workers aren't being pampered. In
layoffs and in other ways, they
have paid their full share of the
depression. A horizontal wage cut
would be ruinous to them.
Well-so what? If the roads can't
afford to go on paying and the
workers can't afford to take cut,
where is the answer anyway?
1t is easier to say where the an
swer isn't than where it is; and
the most obvious thing, it seems
to us. is that a strike wouldn't
settle anything. 1t would leave the
basic, underlying problem quite un-
touched No matter who 'won' it,
both sides would lose. And so, if
you're interested, would the general
public.
The time would seem to be ripe
for direct intervention by the gov
ernment. That doesn't imply gov
ernment ownership or government
operation. 1t simply means that
a complete and final job of fact
finding and policy-making needs
to be done, and that some disinter-
ested and Supremely capable group
ought to be called in by Uncle
Sam to do the job.
This railroad problem isn't some
thing new. 1t has been with us for
upwards of a decade noW and some
of its roots go back much farther
than that. So far we have under
taken to solve the problem by a
policy of drift, and the present
crisis serves notice that that policy
won't work any more.
Simple mediation of the current
dispute won't, help. A study that
goes to the very bottom of the
trouble and a chart that shows
how our transportation industry
can regain its lost health-these
are the things that are desperately
needed. They can best be had, it
would seem, through action by the
government.

On Mooney Case :.
Bv RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON - The Supreme
Court turns down Tom MONEYS
appeal for a review of his CASE
with never a word of explanation.
In the majestic courtroom of marble
pillars. gilt and red plush there's
rot even a mention of old Tom.
Chief Justice Charles Eva ms
Hughes merely reads off few
cases where petitions for certiorari
Writs are dismissed for want of
jurisdiction and adds that other
orders announced this day will be
found on the list certified by the
Chief Justice.
Then the lawyers in the clerk S
office and correspondents in the
press room can look at the long list
and find the bad news for Mooney
and the good or bad news for
scores of ether litigants who asked
a review. The layman reads about
these decisions later in the news
papers and wonders how, when he
was in the courtroom all the time,
he missed the big news.
But the layman gets an eyeful in
the big white Il am the Law
building.
Surprise number one comes when
the justices, instead of entering
single file, dart to the bench from
all directions through apertures in
a vast temporary back drop OF
white cloth. Just like so many
hlack-robed, elderly shieks popping
out of a few tents.
