And game of draw for twenty-seven.

In PENNSYLVANIA the law of conspiracy
is rigidly applied to coal miners in their
strikes against reduction of wages. New
Jersey is now proceeding against the
officers of the workers in glass for con-
spiracy in advising the men to strike.
Why is it that conspiracy is crime in
workmen who combine to maintain the
rate of wages, but that it is no
offense against the law for the
owners of mines to combine to reduce
the wages of the poor workmen? Is it
not conspiracy to shut down mines to
limit production and raise the price of
coal? If not, why not? If it is against
the public interest to permit combina-
tions that lead to strikes, is it not more so
to allow combinations that produce fam
inc? What is the Standard Oil Trust but
to crush competition and to
regulate the price of this product? What
is the glass pool put conspiracy, en-

Ex-Post Facto Caution.

New York, April 7.-Elwood T..
Welles, President of the International
Company of Mexico, to-day, referring to
the question "What do you really know
about the recent gold discovery in Lower
California;" said: "We really know
nothing more than what we
see in the newspapers. None
of our agents have made any report to
us, because they were otherwise en-
p.oyed for the company. MY own belief
Is, that whatever may be found, there
will not justify any rush such as is made
for the placer diggings."

The Sunset Hotel, five miles north of
Santa Monica, is to be at once pushed to
completion. 1t will be remembered that
it was started last year, and about
1923 900 worth of work and material put
into it. Then the contractor failed, and
nothing has been done to finish the
building since. Fresh contracts have.
however been made, and during the
present week workmen will be again
on the building, this time to

Evading Away the New Charter

away hne NEW
We are assured that the City Attorney
will advise the Council to have all wor k
in the Street Department done under the
Vrooman Act. II is manifestly not safe,
he thinks, to operate under the new
Charter in regard to street work, and
thus very important part OF that in
strument is practically wiped out. The
position now taken by the City Attorney
and lawyers generally was taken by the
HERALD before the Charter was SUBJ
mitted to the people. 1t was claimed
shat any provision in the Charter con-
flicting with a general law would not
stand, and that the street article
raised such conflict. This is one part
of the charter officially given up. Others
will come along. The general act estab-
fishing and defining municipal corpora
tions is the next law that will be found
to stand in the way of the constitution
ality of another portion of the Charter.
When it comes to test that part of the
Charter, the City Attorney will not be
able to give it up as easy as he has the
street article for that will go to the very
root OF the city government, and revolu-
tionize or wipe out every Office
in it. We cannot say that we
admire the policy which the City
Attorney has indicated in giving up the
street article without struggle. We
ought to know from the highest author
ity just what can be depended upon as
valid in the new Charter, and the only
way to arrive at that knowledge is by
acting under it until every doubtful
point is reached and challenged. 1t was
the street article in the new Charter that
recommended it most favorably to our
people. We doubt if it would have re.
ceived majority vote had it not been
for the plan of improving streets
which it provides. For the friends
of the Charter par excellence to now
let its most important provisions
so without a struggle, doesn't speak
much for their sincerity. There was
good sense in the argument used in de-
Tense of the constitutionality of the street
article at the time it was originally dis
cussed. 1t was claimed that City Char.
ters being special measures could only
be made obnoxious to the constitutional
inhibition where they conficted with
general laws that could be practically
made to work in all cities. No one pre-
tends that the Vrooman Act fits this city,
or that it can be made to practically
work here efficiently and economically.
Hence the courts would probably
bold that the street article was
not necessarily invalid. A broad in.
depreciation of that part of the
Constitution which requires City Char
ters to conform to general laws, would be |
to confine its reference to such general |
laws as relate to cardinal rights-such as |
the right of eminent domain, the right
of free speech, etc. A general street law
is an absurdity. There are no two cities
in the State where the same provisions
for streets would work as well in one as
in the other. A law that would do
for Oakland would not fit San
Francisco, and law that would do for
San Francisco would not do for Los An
geles. We regret that our City Attorney
1oes not feel that it would be best for all
to put the Charter to thorough
est by operating under it in all matters.
