10000 Troops Begin
-Four Months Of
Mass Training

National Guurdsmen
Intensity Work
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Buglers at nine scattered Army
posts in the South and Northwest
signalled today the full start of mass
training by 10000 troops to provide
the Nations first stable. unified
fighting force since the World War.
Five "streamlined" infantry divi-
sions, one cavalry division, and
auxiliary units will be put through
four months Of field maneuvers or
dered after President Roosevelt pro-
claimed a limited national emer-
gency.
Meanwhile. intensified training Of
other Regulars and of National
Guardsmen is in full swing, in par
allel moves to assure teamwork.
Three weeks were required to
transport the mobilized Regulars
with their guns and supplies from
their permanent stations, by rail-
way, troopship and motor trucks.
But at the week end the mobiliza-
ton was pronounced nearly COM
plete. Movements of a few units
will be delayed as long as February l.
Anti-Tank Battalion.
A pioneer anti-tank battalion will
be among the new auxiliary units.
It's 310 officers and men will handle
IL of the Armys new 37-milimeter
anti-tank guns.
The general stan expects that by
March Is the new smaller divisions
of about 5000 officers and men each
will have been welded, by drill and
war games, into fighting forces such
at the United States never has had
except in war.
Four of the infantry divisions
then will concentrate at central
point, such as the De Soto National
Forest in Mississippi or Fort Ben
ming. Ca, for the first peacetime
maneuvers as corps.
When this training is finished,
these divisions will return to their
permanent stations, and four others,
organized in the meantime, will be
put through maneuvers.
May Become Annual.
If Congress provides the funds,
the winter training will be given
annually. If Congress increases
Army and National Guard strength
to the total of 100000, War De-
partment plans call for organization
Of nine Army Corps, each consist
ing Of one regular division and two
larger National Guard divisions.
The regulars were mobilized
smoothly enough, War Department
reports indicated.
The 1st Division, which massed
at Fort Benning. moved from its
posts in the Northeast largely by
troopship from New York to
Charleston, S. G. The I'd Division
concentrated at Fort Sam Houston,
San Antonio, Tex; the Sd at Fort
Lewis, Wash; the 5th at Camp
Mcclellan, Ala, and the 9Th at
Camp Jackson, s. c.
LIST Cavalry Division.
The 1st Cavalry Division concen-
trated at Fort Bliss, Tex, and the
Auxiliary Corps ut Fort Bragg,
N. c., and Fort Knox, KY, with
few at Camp Ord, Calf.
An order for seven extra days Of
field training for the National
Guard by January raised din
culties.

to obtain extra leave from en-
ployers.

AN INDUSTRY BORN
OF THE DEPRESSION

The revival Of one of Imperial countys
oldest industries which languished for
so long that it is considered now to be
an entirely new business, is traceable
directly to the darkest days of the de-
preston 1t is the mining industry in
eastern Imperial county, now paying
thousands of dollars annually to the
operators.
In the early days of the century east
ern Imperial county was one of the most
thriving mining regions in the west. Then
the we'll known gold veins petered out,
the miners drifted away, and the gold
fever died almost completely. Mining
reached standstill. The old villages be-
came ghost towns Nobody cared much.
Business was good in almost all lines
A living was easy to make.
Then came the depression.
Relief rolls grew. Men took jobs they
wouldn't have considered year or so
before. Some couldn't find any jobs at
all The federal government stepped in
to provide projects on which jobs We're
financed with federal funds One was
the All American canal
The men who worked on the canal,
many of them, worked limited num-
Der of hours a week They camped in
the eastern part Of the county, near the
hills where mining had flOurished years
before In their extra time many Of the
men took to prospecting They found
they could make extra money that way.
Some were successful, some weren't.
But their interest aroused the interest of
others Old mines were reopened. New
ones were found Activity grew of its
own momentum.
So the depression provided Imperial
county with another industry, and gave
the men who refused to be licked a re-
turn that, in some cases, has been more
than fair for the effort put forth.

THE INTIMIDATION
OF NATIONAL GUARDSMEN

CIO union spokesmen in the Harlan
county coal controversy demonstrated
the whole Go philosophy when they
telegraphed President Roosevelt an in
timated threat to rid the highways OF
"intimidation" by National Guardsmen
sent into the trouble area by the COVER
nor 10 keep the peace.
No governor Of any state would dare
send troops into a strike area with in
structions TO prevent law abiding cltl-
zens from going about their business. 1t
is within the right Of any governor, on
the other hand TO order troops TO MAIN
tain the peace in any given area where
trouble has advanced beyond the stage
where il can be handled by local officials.
The troops sent into Harlan county,
according to news dispatches. were sent
there to protect non-union men who want
TO work in the coal mines. It would be
entirely illegal for any group of men or
any organization to attempt forclbly TO
prevent the non-union men from work
ing The National Guard in Harlan
county on the other hand, has shown
no intention of preventing the union
from using every peaceable means at Its
disposal to try to shut down the mines.
The union has been unable peacefully
to stop operations in the coal fields. The
desire of union organizers TO have troops
removed from the area can mean only
one thing. They want to use other means
-forceful ones-to persuade non-union
miners not to work
Because the presence Of the troops pre-
vents rioting and bloodshed, they want
the troops withdrawn.
If it is intimidation" that keeps the
peace in Harlan county and that assures
men who want 10 work the right to do
so, then there should be more of such
intimidation IN this country.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-05-24

ORGANIZED LABOR MUST
NOT WED PARASITE
[ (HanfOrd SentineI)

Agitation in Kern county by the Work
ers' Alliance for abrogation of recent
federal and state orders slashing relief
rolls brands the so-caled union of re-
liefers as unpatrotic and anti-American.
1t illustrates what appears to be the
chief aim and purpose of the Alliance,
namely, the creation Of Il definite bloc
of employable persons (citizen and alien)
who are to be permanent and profess
sional parasites.
What the Alliance is interested in is
more relief, not more employment in
the legitimate fields of employment. It
is interested in gouging government for
all the traffic will bear then agitating
for more. 1t is interested in creating
union that is foreign to and diametri-
cally opposed to the Union of the United
States Of America which it proposes to
bleed with yampirish cunning.
1t is not and can not be labor union,
either horizontally or perpendicularly
organized. 1t has neither height nor
width from any organized labor stand
point for it has no connection with in
dustry in any way, shape nor manner.
1t is and must remain parasite on the
body polite.
The sooner all bona fide labor unions
recognize these facts and apply them
the better for all parties concerned, in
cluding the migrant labor hordes, the
reliefers and all others who are depen-
dent upon their own efforts, plus the
necessary aid that organized government
ought to give them for their sustenance.
Organized labor has played a great part
in the long battle for better living con-
ditions in America It can continue to
fight the good fight or it can undo its
best work and sacrifice its hard won
victories by mesalliance with parasitic
ideology.
The decision is up to organized labor.

It is fairly obvious that social order
which provides comfort and entertain
ment for its adult citizens should also
provide them with opportunities for fur
ther education if they desire them. The
difficulty has been that there have been
virtually no education opportunities de-
signed especially for the adult at below
cost fee. The Adult Education Move
ment throughout the United States is
correcting this need Here gathered in
small groups. led by competent leaders,
adults may learn and reason together
on almost any subject that interests
them There are no examinations, no
degree requirements the student works
on his subject out of class as little or as
much as he desires.
A project not for the underprivileged
nor the uneducated, it ministers 10 that
large group of adult individuals who
seek relaxation from daily tasks by i'm
proving their mental equipment. In this.
the Boston Center is rendering a gen
uine civic service.
The extent to which this service is
generally recognized and supported is
shown by the fact that the Center has
enrolled nearly $4,000 persons in vari-
Gus discussion or creative groups in the
last six years. It is to enlarge its over
taxed facilities for meeting this increas-
ing public need that the Boston Center
has launched a campaign to raise $25,-
600. 1t has been rightly said that democ-
racy can function effectively only when
all of its members are able to think and
act intelligently Those who are help

nifty enterprise are contributing to that
