racks and | will show you men who are
hungry and suffering for wa.t OF bread.
We don't care where we 20 to, whether
il is Washington or Alaska, If we can
only get bread and chance to work for
a living. There are some persons who
say we are all tramps That is lie.
There are some trsmps in such large
gathering, but the great bulk OF these
men are honest workers. Here's let
ter from Dan Freeman that shows |
worked for him for seven months, as
long ae he could give me work, ana he
gives me a good character. Here's a
discharge from the army with the good
character clause on it. Before [ came
out to the coast | worked for the Rock
leland road for 10 years, and can show
my Recommendations from that compa-
ny. | am no agitator. but l want to
work for my bread.
District Attorney Dillon-Would you
leave the army and 90 to work now?
Mr.. Thomas Yes, cir.
Mr.. Dillon-You 90 with me to my
ranch tonight and 90 to work.
'Ill go right away" said Thomas.
The Representative of the army were
sent into the anteroom and the meeting,
which was of an informal character, held
a conference.
Il believe" said District Attorney
Dillon, that we should offer work to
the leaders of the army, and if they will
not work arrest Them. AS ior the hum
dreds OF deluded fellows whom they have
brought here, they should be fed by the
city and county until something can be
done for them"
On motion of Mr.. Nickel committee
was appointed consisting of Supervisors
Francisco, Hanley. President Teed and
Ex-Mayor Hazard and Mayor Rowan to
confer with their respective bodies and
the Associated Charities ss to ways and
means for the supplyingo of provisions, to
report at q meeting to be held on Friday
morning at 10 O'Clock. After this was
done the conference closed with the gen.
eral understanding that aid and assist
snee would be extended to all hungry
men, but not as members OF an army
with the Rvowed intention OF going to
Washington.
MAYOR RowAN's VIEWS.
Mr.. Rowan was seen last night and
expressed himself as follows:
have been working in accord with
the officials of the Industrial army and
[ have tried to get five days rations for
Jnem on Jn6lr promise tnaU tney would
leave. Today requested the Merchants'
association to devise ways and meAna to
move this large body of men. who now
number HOO, and will by Mondy num-

know their warts and understand their
feelings, and their object is to march to
Washington.
can now say that do not think that
any one here understands the situation.
While at present the army is under con-
troll of chosen officials l am we'll aware
of the fact that there is q certain ele-
ment among them that is liable to break
out with quite following and cause our
people great deal of trouble.
1t still hope by Saturday to get the
men their rations. The men say that
they will take my advice, and If possible
trouble will be avoided. If oar people
would visit their barracks and see their
condition they probably would be. more
prompt to assist them out of the city.
The men are more quiet and orderly
than could be expected under the CIR
cumstances.

II will be seen from the above figures
that the Los Angeles board OF education
paid Gardner & Oliver 1894 G6 for books
that could have bean purchased by the
single copy, mark you, at total OF
1890 AZ, that is, $44.64 above the retail
price.
The same books when purchased by
the public library of Los Angeles, as
shown by the library account books,
were purchased a. an even lower figure
than the prices quoted in the retail
price list. There is not bookseller in
Los Angeles who would not allow the
usual trade discount OF 30 per cent off,
reducing the full retail figure of 1920. Az
to 1908 29. or $1S0.75 less than the board
of education paid for these books. 1t
will pay the grand jury to look over the
demands of the Los Angeles board of
education, and il will pay the tax
payers to keep an eye on it's members

HOW THEY BOUGHT THEIR BOOKS
Peculiac Transactions OF the
Board Of Education.
Some Figures Worthy the Attention
of the Grand Jury.
Some sir. 'Hcnnt Facts which VIII
Be OF Peculiar Interest to
the Taxpayers Of Los
Angeles

A further dive into the bills of the
board Of education reveals the fact that
the board has been guilty OF the gross
sst incompetency in the purchase OF
books or something worse. That ID
for the grand jury to determine.
During the month OF September the
firm OF Gardner & Oliver supplied books
and stationery to this remarkable board
TO the value OF $2,659.96. Here is
sample OF the manner in which items
are grouped together:
memoranda book, gross spencerlan ,os
l aozen waste baskets. 6 teachers ink
900 bottles red Ink, IL desk be Is M 1850
2uO muoiiage. 90 Letase glue, "a gross ~ ~
lussies dis s6na sbaor paper - no'o e 475
Ihe above will give an idea OF how
different items we're punched or grouped
together without giving the price for
each item rs any business man would
require. If you go into any stationery
etore in Los Angeles and buy single
sheet of Whatman's double elephant
drawing paper it will cost you 25 cents.
II You buy two quires at % cents sheet,
the established retail rate, it will cost
you Sl2, but If you ask for two quires for
school purposes, tnst is to say in
Wholesale rate. you can get two quires
OF this paper for 1924. Now, in the face
of these notorious facts the Los Angeles
board OF education on September 22d
paid $l9.25 for two quires OF this paper
as per dill rendered and on file in the
auditors Office. Why?
The group system OF punching ac-
counts seems to be q highly acceptable
one to the members OF the board of edu-
cation, and it WAS applied to the pur-
chase OF school library books.
Here is q very remarkable bill for q
wholesale lot of school books:
