PASADENA

! PASADENA. July 30.-(Regular Core
spondence) Ex-Congressman James NC
Lachlan arrived home from Washington
this morning, glad to get back to spend
the summer in Southern California after
experiencing the heat of the eastern states.
Mr.. McLachlan says the weather has been
very oppressive in Washington during the
last six weeks, well as all over the east,
and he thinks that If the unfortunate peo-
pie who live back there could realize the
fact that our California summers are as
much superior to theirs as are our win
tiers, they would be coming out here in
great numbers every summer.
Mr.. McLachlan has been laboring In the
interests of the citrus industry in getting
as large a tariff as possible on oranges and
lemons. and by the instructions of the
committee under which he has been work.
ing, stayed in Washington until the bill
was finally signed and became law He
thinks the fight for the citrus industry was
a very well managed one and came just in
the nick of time to save immense
lamount to the growers of this part of the
state.
When asked about the rumor that he was
to be appointed district attorney of Alaska
Mr.. McLachlan said he had never heard
of it until he got home, and that there was
nothing in it. He had not sought the posi-
ton. but he would at once re-enter upon
the practice of law in Los Angeles.
In regard to the prospects for work on
San Pedro harbor. Mr.. McLachlan said he
was inclined to agree with the Detroit
paper which says Secretary Alger will not
order the work begun without being in
structed further by congress. He said
further.
Secretary Alger seems to think that it
is his duty to get instructions from con-
gress before proceeding as his engineers

lput on top of the 49, 100000 already appro-
priated in order to make harbor of COM
merce at San Pedro.
II tried to argue with him that it was
his duty to go ahead with the breakwater
as directed and authorized and let the
future take care of possibilities. He said
that he would do SO if any corporation or
company would build good wharf there"
THE PEELERS' STRIKE
The onion peelers at the Baker Vegetable
Condensing works, on Bradford street,
went on a strike this morning. refusing
to work at the wages offered. They have
been at work peeling potatoes for which
the pay was 20 cents per sack. Today the
odoriferous onion was tackled, and the
manager decided to allow but 121a cents
per sack for these. This was too great
reduction for the thirty peelers, who at
once laid down their knives and refused to
work at these wages. They were then
offered Is cents but this they likewise re-
fused. Their places were soon filled with
people who couldn't afford to hesitate at
the smallness of the wages-men. women
and children being among the number. 1t
is stated that an average workman can
peel about four sacks per day and children
one and two sacks The men who ouit
work were mostly Mexicans. The wages
seem very low, but there are evidently
plenty of people who are glad to get work
| at any price.

DR.. F. f. Rowland, health officer, says
| in relation to vague rumor annarent1v
without any basis of fact to stand upon
to the effect that there was a case of
scarlet fever in town, that as a matter of
| fact he has no knowledge of any cases of
scarlet fever or any other contagious dis
eases in town. Dr. Rowland thinks the
rumor originated from the case of typhoid
fever which is now in a convalescent stage.
and there is no danger from any contagious
diseases whatever.
| The Pasadena Lemon Growers associa-
ton has received returns from the last car
of lemons shipped to the extent of 1915,
which is the largest price yet received from
any shipment. The association is proving
good thing for the growers, enabling
them to get much better price for their
| fruit than they could hope to do without
such an organization. OF course the grow
ers are pleased with the new tariff on their
products and there is a prospect of much
increased acreage in lemons next wear as
a result.
