Board Opens Bids
On Power Lines

Half a hundred bidders agents
looked on at Tuesdays meeting of
the Imperial Irrigation district
board while directors opened bids
to build 100 miles of PWA power
lines in Imperial Valley cities. The
lines are to supplement service to
suburban areas already contracted.
Later in the day the board awarded
contract to Vinson and Pringle OF
Phoenix for building the power
house at Drop Four on the All
American canal on bid Of s235, 900.
BIDS were invited for an addi-
ton 10 the Brawley plant includ-
ing fuel tanks TO take care OF the
new generating units.
In addition, the board went thru
the formality OF a hearing on OBJ
jections to the proposed refunding

coming and the plan was formally
approved with a single dissenting
vote, from Director Mark Rose.

measure would create a three-man
board appointed by the governor
to mediate in labor disputes.
Congress of Industrial Orsaniza-
tions spokesmen objected to an
amendment adopted by the COM
mittee to require the proposed
board to uphold craft unions in
plants having predominantly in
dustrial union employees. They ia
vored the bill. however, in spite of
the amendment The American
Federation Of Labor withheld COM
ment.
Major opposition to the bill came
from Employers association, which
claimed the bill would not permit
employers to appeal to the board.
The Associated Farmers of Cali
fornia and the State Chamber of
Commerce also frowned on the
measure.

In answer TO a question by SEN
ator Harold j. Powers, r., Eagle
vile, Biggar said that the bill
would apply to all disputes not un-
der jurisdiction of the National
Labor Relations act.
The proposed state law was mod
eled after a Swedish act, Biggar
continued 1t provides for two
members of the commission to be
farmers two farm laborers, two in
dustrial employers, two industrial
employees, and a chairman chosen
at large. All would be appointed
by the governor.
Farm labor disputes would be
heard by the chairman and the
four members representing farm
activities, While other disputes
would fall under jurisdiction OF the
chairman and the other four men,

"All facts disclosed by the COM
mission are to be presented to
both parties and every endeavor
must be made to reach a reconcile
alton without a strike or lockout,
Biggar said.
Machinery for arbitration is pro-
vided for, but settlement by this
means would be resorted to only
upon agreement of both parties to
the dispute.
Senators voting against the bill
were Kenny. Seawell Nielsen, Pow

Browder Speaks to
Large Audience on
University Campus

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 90
(UP)-Earl Browder, general sec
retary of the Communist party in
the United States spoke on the
Yale university campus yesterday.
Browder addressed an undergrad
uate gathering sponsored by the
Yale Peace Council, a student or
ganization, at Strathcona hall. Stu
dents at Harvard, Dartmouth, and
Princeton, like the Yale students,
had invited him to speak on their
campuses but had been overruled
by their faculties.
Yale students formed an atten-
tive, if noisy, audience. The hall
seated only 450, but students were
perched in all the windows, crowded
the aisles, and hundreds were mass
ed outside.
BroWder, roundly applauded when
he was introduced, prefaced his
address with the statement that
this opportunity reflects not the
influence of the Communist party
in Yale, but the Bill of Rights and
Constitution of the United States
of America" That brought more
applause.

Navy Man Praises
Bold Experiments

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. (UP)-
Acting Secretary of the Navy
Charles Edison received a depart
mental report today praising bold"
marine engineering experiments in
the face of conservatism trepida-
ton and no little opposition as con-
tributing heavily to the effective
ness of the navy's newest warships.
The report came from Rear Ad.
miral Harold G. Bowen, who deS-
cribed his administration of the
Bureau of Engineering during the
fiscal year ended last June 80.
Bowen defended the navy'S eX-
periments with high-pressure, su-
per-heated steam on. its newest
steam propelled warships as devel-
oping more economical" machinery
that is easier to operate, main
tain, and protect in battle" His
reference to this matter came after
long disagreement among naval
experts as to the degree of the
high-pressure, high temperature
standards.
