IMPERIAL VALLEY
AND LABOR UNIONS

While on the SUBJECT OF Imperial VdI-
ley's "fascism," it might be we'll to put
down in black and white the general at
titude prevailing in the valley, as we
have found it, toward labor unions. We
do not remember that any such sum-
mary has ever been given, and it might
be that the lack of it is largely respOn-
sible for such attacks as that in the
magazine, Ken.
Imperial Valley does not object to
labor unions. On the main street Of the
county seat there 'has been for years
a Labor Temple. In it unionism has been
fostered and encouraged without inter
ference from any source. No meeting
there has ever been interrupted by any
one from outside the union ranks.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-05-13
OUR LITTLE NATION
OF IMPERIAL VALLEY

The editors of Ken, new national
magazine highly publicized before its
first issue as one that would expose
everything that needed exposing, weren't
very old in their new editorial offices
before they swallowed bait, hook, line
and sinker in the form of manuscript
submitted by John L. Spivak dealing
with Imperial Valley.
What they got was a bromide that has
been tossed from magazine to magazine
throughout the length and breadth OF
the land for the last seven years. The
editors of Ken probably could have OBJ
tanned the same thing for lot less
money by arranging for a reprint of any
one of half hundred articles that have
appeared in such magazines as The Ma
tion," and in such weekly publications
as "The Western Worker"
We flatter ourselves that they could
even have obtained more graphic descrip-
tions of life in the migratory workers
ditch bank camps, complete with squaior
and pitiful suffering, by clipping from
the columns of this newspaper. And from
this newspaper, too, they might have
learned that Imperial Valley recognizes
the pitiful state of these people, and
has made every possible attempt to allie
viate it.
Writer Spivak quotes migratory
worker that the county hospital will not
take in his suffering child, that "they take
nobody in" Kens editors might be in
terested in learning that 80 per cent of
the patients at the county hospital are
migratory workers.
Or would they?
By this time Imperial Valley has be-
come so used to being called "a little
fascist principality stuck in between two
democracies of Mexico and the United
States" that a repetition occasions hard
ly more than a vince of annoyance. If
we didn't have to pay federal taxes we
might begin to believe it ourselves before
long.
The trouble is, of course, that organ
ization of farm labor unions has not
been highly successful in the valley.
What so many otherwise intelligent per-
sons seem to overlook is that the Organ-
zation has been turned down and dis
couraged by Imperial Valleys own work
ing people, whose close contact with en-
poyers makes them realize that the en-
ployers, after all, are not demons in
farmers clothing, but are really trying
TO make enough money to feed their own
families after they have paid their labor
erS.
There are writers of a certain type
who want nothing less than to see a close
understanding between employer and
employe. The writers would lose their
Jobs if such an understanding existed
universally.
