In all cases involving the violation of the contract of employment, either by the employee or employer where no irreparable damage is about to be committed upon the property or property right of either, no injunction shall be granted, but the parties shall be left to their remedy at law.

SEC. 3. No persons who are employed or seeking employment or other labor shall be indicted, prosecuted, or tried in any court for entering into any arrangement, agreement, or combination between themselves as such employees or laborers, made with a view of lessening the number of hours of labor or increasing their wages or bettering their condition, or for any act done in pursuance thereof, unless such act is in itself unlawful.

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION No.----

RELATIVE TO THE CONTINUATION BY THE UNITED STATES OF SURVEYS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF STORAGE RESERVOIRS FOR THE IMPOUNDING OF FLOOD WATERS IN THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND ASKING THAT AN APPROPRIATION BE MADE FOR FORWARDING THE WORK AS SPEEDILY AS POSSIBLE.

WHEREAS, The United States government has for several years past been securing data through geological survey and the reclamation service concerning the watersheds of the west slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains and the construction of storage reservoirs for the conservation of flood waters in the winter and spring, and WHEREAS, The Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, of which these watersheds form the eastern rim, constitute a large body of the most fertile land to be found in any country, rivaling the far-famed valley of the Nile in productiveness and capable of supporting a population of several millions when properly reclaimed and settled, and

WHEREAS, In times of heavy snowfall and rainfall, the volume of water coming down into the valleys is a continual menace to the rich lands adjacent to the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, thousands of acres of which are flooded in years of heavy rainfall, and

WHEREAS, In the report of the reclamation service for the year 1907 the statement is made that if storage reservoirs were constructed at the sites surveyed, it would greatly simplify the drainage problems of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and the lower Sacramento valley by reducing the flood flow in the rivers, and WHEREAS, The flood waters so impounded would be of the greatest value to the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, and the State of California by being used for irrigation instead of being allowed to flow to the ocean, often doing incalculable damage to the valleys, 800,000 acres of the low-lands of which having been flooded in 1904; therefore be it

Resolved by the senate and the assembly jointly. That the legislature of the State of California, memorializes the congress of the United States for the continuation of said work of surveying and constructing such storage reservoirs in the watersheds of the western slope of said Sierra Nevada mountains on the tributaries of the Feather, Yuba and American rivers and other tributaries of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, carry out all measures necessary for such work and making an appropriation of sufficient size to forward it as the more speedily solved; and be it further

Resolved, That the secretary of the interior be requested to take the necessary measures for hastening the survey and construction of such reservoirs, in order to impound such flood waters and enable the problem of improvement and restraint of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers to be more speedily solved; and be it further

Resolved, That the senators and representatives in congress from the State of California be requested to use all honorable means to secure the action desired in this matter for the purpose aforesaid; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the president of the United States, the secretary of the interior, the secretary of agriculture, the respective houses in congress and to each of the senators and representatives in congress from the State of California, including those to assume office on March 4, 1913.
