|. y. Flax Harvest
Half wayDone

Imperial county's 1943 flax har-
vest reached the half way mark
Thursday with yields generally 10
to Is per cent lighter this year than
in the past, it was announced by
Argyle McLachlan, manager of the
Southwest FlaXseed association.
August Brandt of BraWley. how
'ver. had 1872 acres in flax" Nc
Lachlan said, "and he harvested 4o
bushels to the acre. This yield is
eight or nine bushels above the
highest record of this year. The
county average was 81 bushels to
the acre last year but this year the
'veraee may go as lew as II bushel.
TO the acre"
The light yield this year was
caused by the presence of wild oats
and grass which grew in the fields
after an early frost hindered
growth of the flax.
The Imperial Irrigation district
crop survey for March this year
showed that a total of 144,6l8 acres
had been planted to flax.

Workers in Revolt
AQuinst J.LeWis

bituminouS workers were believed
ready to 60 to work this morning
They included $4,000 members of 81
locals which voted yesterday to re-
sumo work. In 13 other western
Pennsylvania locals. $3.50 miners
deferred action until later in the
week. Miners in Alabama and I'LL
nois particularly were resentful
over President RooSevelt'S proposal
and one high ranking UNIV official
at Springfield, ILL.,, predicted that
the Presidents threat to draft
strikers up to IS would retard the
back-to-work movement.
"One of these days the miners
will wake up," he said, they are
under the impression that they have
been working to prevent this sort of
governmental force
At Birmingham, UNIV leaders
criticized the proposal as IAN at
tempt to intimidate the coal miners
that will fail miserably in achieving
its purpose"
John j. Hanratty, international
representative of UNIV, district 20,
said coal miners do not fear army
service for work in a coal pit is
far more hazardous than fighting
ON a battle front"
He pointed out that there were
$4,000 accidents involving coal min
ers last year, and that one half of
one per cent of the nations miners
were either killed or injured during
that time.
1T is silly for the President to
bring Up the draft bogey in this
situation" Hanratty added.

Ickes Says Oil
Deal Long Opposed

WASHINGTON, June "a (UP)-
Secretary of Interior Harold l..
Ickes said today he and members
Of his staff had decided in March
that the Elk Hills contract between
the Navy and Standard Oil Com
pany of California wasn't good
contract from the point of view of
the government"
I'VE objected to it purely on the
grounds of public policy, and not
because we found anything fraudu-
lent in it." Ickes said.
The contract, now abrogated. is
being studied by four congressional
committees. 1t provided that the
government pay Standard S1,700,000
for its holdings in the Elk Hill
field. 1t provided further that
Standard was to take 27,000, 900
barrels of oil from the reserve in
five years, after which time the
navy would have complete control
over the property.

Paul r.. Porter is Chief of the
Ship Building Sterilization Branch
OF the WPB, at salary of $1,000 a
year. He is a lifelong Socialist
and one of the leading members of
that party in the United States, and
/ respect him for the fact that he
has made no secret of this, and has
attempted no evasion. His attitude
toward constitutional government
aid toward the Republic is best
understood by quoting from one of
his many writings: Nothing less
than a Socialistic revolution will
free labor from insecurity and in
dustrial system" Through the
generous salary provided Mr.. Por-
tel bv the government he was at
tempting to overthrow, Mrs. Paul
r. Porter was also able to take
charge of the Washington office of
the Union for Democratic Action"
ar organization which in the last
campaign distributed a million copies
OF q highly inaccurate and libelous
attack upon members of the Con-
gress.
OFFERED JOB
John Herring is employed in the
Office OF Co-Ordinator of Inter-
American Affairs, at an annual
salary of $1,000. IN the early days
of the present national administra-
ton, he was offered a position in
the government here in Washing
ton, TO which he replied contemptE-
opsly. Il believe in the abolition of
the capitalistic system. believe in
the necessity of the destruction of
this system of exploitation by the
might of workers organizations.
decline to be even an insignificant
member of a government which.
after a year of displaying its brand
of social engineering, has devised
such a positive, direct and universal
scheme for workers enslavement."
Perhaps the later offer Of O. salary
of $500 a year persuaded him to
become one of the many termites in
the government woodwork.
Sam Schmerler. was dismissed in
1885 from his job in the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, because of
his Communistic activities. Shortly
afterwards he was employed by the
Social Security Board and re-
manned there several years, mean |
while carrying on extensive radical |
activities. AT that time he was |
drawing a salary of $500 year.
Today he is a Social Security |
Policy Consultantn at salary of
$1,000. He is leader in the COM
