Laborers Wanted in California.

San Francisco, May 22.-Word has
been received by the California pro-
motion committee from thirty-four
canneries in the state that the present
outlook for assistance in canning the
big fruit crop shows 5000 people will
be required to work in the canneries
beyond the present available supply.
Word received from the fruit growers
shows that more than 5000 persons
will be necessary in harvesting the
crop. For these figures it is estimated
that the loss from failure to handle
the crop unless mitigated by immigra-
ton will reach fully fifty per cent,
exceeding last years loss, which was
thirty per cent.

that an attempt is being made to i'm
port cheap labor to compete witt I'M

The letter was from his old pastor,

At Pleasant Hills he was promoted fol
