Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 1O.-{Special
Correspondence. The working people
OF Southern California and Arizona are
going to show in what measure they
esteem the fair-minded press; they are
going to make demonstration, the like
OF which has never before been seen in
this country. Thousands upon thou
sands of union men on the evening Of
Saturday December IL, the evening be-
tore the first publication of Hearst $
Los Angeles Examiner will take part
IN festival celebration Of the advent
In this city of that newspaper.
It Is not only because a new news
paper has come into this field, it is not
because the workingmen expect mater
1al gains to themselves from the enter
prise, 1t is not because this paper will
voice their political sentiments; these
matters are not inquired into or con-
sldered; but the thousands of toilers
In the Southwest will come en- massc
to this city OH the Saturday evening to
give a manifestation to the Los Angeles
Examiner Of the gratitude of the toll
ers. They are going to show that or
ganized labor is not lacking in ap-
probation.
There is another reason for this pro-
missed outpouring in the celebration Of
the launching Of the Los Angeles Ex-
aminer. When the workingmen march
the streets it will ac1o be demonstra-
t1on Of defiance to that arch enemy Of
unionism, one who never loses an op-
portunity to misrepresent the cause Of
labor organization and villify it's men,
bers This procession of workingmen
who will have gathered from all cities
between Tehachapi Mountains and the
Mexican boundary line, from the
deserts, valleys and mountains will be
manifestation of their protest at the
unfriendly attitude Of the Los Angeles
Times and unprovoked, bitter and per-
slstent hatred Of all men whose toll is
their means of winning livlihood.
There will be no political significance
to the demonst n; men Of every po-
litical creed VII. ~e in line. as all will
find common cause for rejoicing. and
all will take part in making this show
OF strength before the enemy and Of
loyalty to the defenders
canvass has been made Of the cities
as far to the north ar Fresno. and to
the sOutn dSt6an7Dleg0s,sfIn sfIntt~eNeTyNklaeEe
workingmen and women show, enthusi-
asm for the celebration that amounts
to in1patience.
There will be special trains from sew
eral points that will carry to this city
> the great numbers that will swell the
crowds of Los Angeles
1t will be d Fourth of July Fiesta
and labor Day Celebration in one. The
city will be ablaze with red fire from
the minute that the sun sets. Flags
and proud banners will wave over the
heads of the marching host Many of
the organizations in line will be in
uniform. There will also be bands Of
music and fireworks in profusion.
From present indications 10000 mell
will be in line. This great demonstra-
ton will parade the principal streets
Of the city to the Examiner office,
where a gorgeous display Of fireworks
will be given.
The Los Angeles Times, despised by
everyone, can now see the handwriting
on the wall.
