A report by Ben Herring, seere-
tarv of the Ell Centre Chamber OF
Commerce sets out the local or
ganization's accomplishments dur
ing 1913.
One of the most important actiy-
tiles of the chamber during the
past year has been the carrying on
of the war bond program for the
city and indirectly in the county.
Mr.. Herring is county executive
secretary with w. II. Fawcett, cham
Der member, the county chairman.
In this activity all publicity work
is carried out and cleared through
the local offices. An example OF
the work done by the chamber was
that demonstrated in the drive last
summer to buy a heavy bomber to
be named CITY of Ell Centre" Tho
The original amount set was $l75,00o
but the chamber raised $304,000
which also permitted the purchase
of a light bomber named Foltville-
Imperial.

POSTWAR PLANNING
Postwar planning enters into the
chamber activities and committee
headed by Roy Womack is of ma
ior importance at this time. The
committee has not been publicly
active out are conscious of future
needs and plans for the city.
AS Defense and Seryicemen's Re-
creation Council headquarters the
chamber acts as acting secretary
ana has done much in this project.
Among the achievements listed by
Secretary Herring were arrange
ments of dances for servicemen;
arrangements of sleeping quarters
before the new Recreation Com
assumed charge; procuring
of athletic equipment and athletic
contests for servicemen; and other
related work.
The chambers early concern in
the housing problem here led to
interesting the National Housing
Authority to come into the COM
munity and survey possibilities. This
led to the building Of the projec.
on Wensley avenue. The newest
effort in this direction has been
the gaining of 20 additional hous-
ing units to be built. The applica-
ton has been forwarded to Wash
ington for approval and announce
ment Of the construction is awaited
SHARE A RIDE
Earlier this year the chamber
inaugurated the Share Ride
program which now carries itself
under the momentum established
at that time. Coordinating group
riding to jobs and other cities is no
longer necessary as most travellers
are able to fill cars without using
the original chamber facility.
AS coordinator of the office of
war information the secretary Of
the chamber CT commerce has ar
ranged through the Boy Scouts to
have literature and posters dis
tributed through the community.
In regard to daily activities Mr..
Herring pointed out that his office
handles on the average Is mail in
quiries regarding Ell Centre and
Imperial valley from people of other
states. Many ask information for
thesis purposes, if students, others
for information as tourists and pos
sibly as they consider residence
here. The office answers an aver
age OF 25 to 30 phone calls per
day and during the present time
have been averaging more than Is
inquiries regarding rentals each
day.
In regard to the rental program,
the chamber has been an unofficial
rental agency for some time and
have given prompt service where
possible.
SERVICE TO AGENCIES /
Free services to governmental
agencies takes up nearly 10 per
cent of the chambers time in COM
pariSon with an estimated 25 per
cent devoted to war activities" Bill
sEuflock publicity chairman said
Friday. THE office turns out an
average of 5000 pieces of mimeo-
graphed forms per week for the
Seiective Service, OPA Ration
boand, and others, and earlier this
year did some work for Camp See
le., This means more than 100000
pieces are handled per year"
So many people have the thought
that chamber of commerce work is
! hopped down during the war" Mr.

social trend which has continued
since in the social security law
the wage and hour law and the
National Labor Relations Act
There is no reason why our social
trend should not continue. There is
no reason except one-the New
Deal-tired out and too long in
office. 1t distrusts the people. 1t
treats the social gains OF the 1930s
as its private property.
The New Deal sits by the fireside
and gazes back on its long-lost
youth with happy contemplation
1t hopes to spend its declining days
clipping coupons on its political in
vestments of the 1930s. 1t wants to
hold Office forever in stalemated
Iidleness. l say that social gains are
not the property of any party. They
are the property of the people of
the United States and no party can
exploit them for its political profit
Good laws are necessary but they
are not enough. Social progress
needs vigorous protection and pro-
motion all the time. 1t needs the
nourishment of competent, free
government.
Let's look at what has happened
to the right of collective bargain
ing under one-man government.
The New Deal has posed for years
as the friend of labor. But today it
has turned collective bargaining
into political bargaining.
Take just one example. In the
autumn of 1912, the 100000 non-
operating railroad employees and
then the $4,000 operating workers
requested wage increase to meet
the higher living costs. Since 1926,
the machinery of the law had al
ways worked successfully in such
matters. And it started to operate
properly this time, with the regular
hearings before the National Medi-
alton Emergency Boards.
One-Man Rule Sets In.
But, the grasping hand of one
man rule reached in an set itself
above the law. Mr.. Roosevelt's Eco
nomic Sterilization Director Vim
son completely destroyed the effec-
tiveness of the Railway Labor Act
by setting aside the recommendation
Of the mediation board for an in
crease of cents an hour. Des-
perate, the railway workers of the
Nation decided to walk out, If neces-
sary, by vote of 81 per cent.
For six months last year, while
uncertainty and tension increased,
Mr. Roosevelt did nothing but wage
a war of nerves against the railway
workers. Finally he decided the
stage was set for making political
capital. He called the union lead
ers to the White House. They met
there four times. Mr.. Roosevelt
demanded that he, instead of the
legally established mediation board,
be selected as the final arbitrator
Three presidents of Railway Broth
erhoods declared. and I quote: The
whole thing had all the earmarks
OF a political set-up."
The tension rose higher. Finally
Mr.. Roosevelt seized the railroads
to forestall a national disaste,
which he himself had prepared
After he did that, he graciously
gave the very wage increase to which
the railway workers had beer
entitled for over year.

no questions.
That Is the end result under one
man government always. It is the
inevitable end Of a philosophy which
sees no real future for America. It
is the result of viewpoint that can
see nothing ahead but a repetition
OF its own peacetime failures-a re-
turn after the war to unemploy-
ment, with leaf raking and doles.
I am sure America will never sub
init to that dreary prospect. We
are going forward to swift, total
victory over our enemies abroad.
We are going to take the lead in
building a world organization for
lasting peace, and here at home
we are going to establish q govern
ment which will make possible a
vigorous productive economy with

insure to American labor the guar
antee Of free collective bargaining

We stand committed to the prop
osition that America can and must
have both economic security and

we shall begin to put into effect

We shall put back into the De-
partment of Labor the functions
that belong in the Department OF
Labor.
We shall do away with special

brotherhood leaders was, and /
quote: "The trouble was that the
administration was not content to
follow the law"
1--WE are firmly convinced" they
said, that If the administration
had kept its hands of and had per-
mitted the rail unions to proceed
under the Railway Labor Act, we
could have reached a satisfactory
settlement with our employers with
out stopping work for single day
and without causing the slightest
bitterness"
But the administration did not
do that. 1t insisted on changing
rules in the middle Of the game"
Now, political power wasn't the
only profit in this case. There was
political cash, too-for one OF the
New Deal city bosses. The Rail-
way Brotherhoods had to be rep
resented by special legal counsel
because the proceedings were OBJ
viously Of a very special sort. And
who do you suppose was the lawyer?
An attorney eminent in labor law?
An authority on railroad economies?
Not under the New Deal. With
legal process out the window by
act of Mr.. Roosevelt, the railway
workers were forced to hire some
one who knew his way around the
White House. So the railway BROTH
erhoods had to hire Mr.. Roosevelt's
third-term national chairman-that
eminent authority in Belgian blocks,
Boss Flynn of the Bronx. This was
the man who once appointed the
notorious gangster and gunman,
Dutch Schultz, as q deputy sheriff
of the Bronx. And did Mr.. Roose-
velt's political manager lend his aid
for nothing? The price of his serv-
ices for the railroad workers was
$25 900.
Stranglehold on People.
That sort of business must come
to an end in this country. Our fight
ing men must return to something
better than political government.
Political bosses and one man Gov
ernment must not be allowed to
keep a stranglehold on the rights Of
our working people. I believe with
all my heart in collective bargaining
and it must again be free collective
bargaining. 1t must be bargaining
for the rights Of working people
and not for the profit of political
bosses.
Now, playing with the rights of
labor. for political power and DO
litical cash is bad enough. But there
