EMPLOYERS HAVE ORGANIZED
Firms Who VIII Resist Demands Of
the Printers Union In
Los Angeles

Fifty-five employing firms have or
ganized in this city to resist the demand
of the international Typographical
union for an eght-hour day and q
closed shop. This organization last
night issued the following statement:
To the Business Men Of Los Angeles
BY the orders of the international
Typographical union the union compost
tors of Los Angeles will strike next
Tuesday, January 2, 1906, in every print"
rg office for an elght-hour day for nine
hours pay and a closed shop. The local
Unions of pressmen and pressfeeders
few days since notified the employers
that they would strike for the same de-
mand.
These demands. If granted. would
mean an absolute increase of 20 per
cent in the cost of production, and that
no man. could work in this city who
was not union member.
1t would mean, under union restric-
tions, that our boys could only learn a
trade one for each seven journeymen
each four years, and it is a fact that
the same trades can be learned under
fair conditions In fraction of that
time.
In defense of the attempt of the
unions to force their dominance fifty
five employers have, organized into the
Employing PrinterS association and
have prepared themselves for uphold
ing the right of every man to work and
the maintaining of our property rights.
In this manifestly unjust attack on
industry and the attempted coercion Of
independent workmen we bespeak the
consideration of the business public,
with the assurance that the members
of this organization are determined for
the maintenance of these American
principles.

MEANING OF FRANCHISE
Fifty-Fourth Street, From Main to
Fieueroa Streets-Good Car
Service for the People

The recording of the map of subdi-
vision of the Mccarthy company's
Main street, Moneta avenue and Fig
ueroa tract No. 2 discloses the reason
for the latter company's many pur-
chases of large tracts I'm that part Of
the city and the successful and rapid
sales of lots, by showing the right Of
way given to the Los Angeles Rail-
way company through the principal
part of the property across Fifty
fourth street, from South Main street
to Figueroa street.
This newest half mile of franchise
gives a cross town line over Fifty
fourth street, from the Redondo rail-
way to the railway company's big new
car houses, connecting at Fifty-fourth
street, one block east of Main street,
with the present Maple avenue line,
making a cross town connection for
transfer purposes with the South Park,
Maple avenue, San Pedro street, Mo-
meta avenue line and Redondo railway
lines.
Direct Line to Main Station
1t has been generally believed that
with this last and most needed link
OF franchise finally obtained the Mo-
meta avenue line, which is in reality a
direct extension of Main street, will be
the route over which the Redondo cars
win eventually get into the big Hunt
ington building at Sixth and Main.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-31

as this will make the most direct route
that could be had.
The rumor would not down that the
Huntingtons and McCarthys were
jointly interested in the big movement
Of property in this vicinity, as the
records disclose the fact that the Nc
Carthys have given to the Huntington
lines one and one-eighth miles of fran
chise in this part of the city, pur-
chasing and reselling in home lots
every foot of frontage required by the
railway extensions and car lines.
When interviewed about the matter
e. Avery Mccarthy was noncom-
initial and said he was firm believer
in the principle of the late Jay Gould,
Always tell people what you are 60
ing to do-after you have done it." And
now the wise ones are watching the
next move of the McCarthys.

WHEN WE UNDERESTIMATE

1T comes as natural to humanity
to underestimate the ability or vir-
tues Of those we dislike, as for
sparks to fly upward" truthfully re-
marks an exchange. 1t is a way we
have Of evening things up, accord
ing TO our ideas of justice. Mr..
Jones may be brilliant, successful
in business, and a model in morals,
yet we let some trihing fault OF
weakness outweigh all Of them, il
we dislike him.
Not only do we underestimate
those we dislike, or our enemies,
but most of us underestimate the
worth of those with whom we daily
associate. In his own town, a young
man is merely Tom or Jim or John,
and a girl, plain Mary or Sallle.
We never expect anything of them,
except to behave themselves proper
ly and jog along as their parents be-
fore them. When they seek new
fields of action and blossom into
prominence, we reluctantly admit
mistaken valuation.
In proportion as we underestimate
others, we are apt to overestimate
our own talents and capacities,
which puts us in the power Of 9TH
ers. Not only does it make us rid
iculous in the eyes of our enemies,
but it as surely ruins our chances OF
success. The underestimation OF
others lays bare our own weakest
points, and invites a return Of en-
nifty, and caustic criticism. Furth-
ermore, we have no more right to
underestimate a mans character
than we have to insist that his dol
lars are worth only fifty per cent.
and our own worth a round one
hundred cents. Strive to correct
the impulse to underestimate either
enemy or acquaintance, and you Of
fer others a stong inducement to
deal leniently and Justly with you.
Value a mans character as you
would his finances, whether you Like
him OR not, and you strengthen your
weakest point for attack.

A SAD INCIDENT.

One Of the saddest and most
touching incidents we have yet read
of as occurring at New Orleans dur
ing the present yellow fever cpl
demic, was In the case of Prof. Pierre
Aldal, says an exchange. He had
been quite prosperous, having a large
number Of violin pupils, and had
rented and furnished a cottage, and
had his daughter come from france
TO keep house for him. Shortly af-
ter her arrival, the yellow fever
broke out, and the violin pupils
dropped off. With no incomie after
that, their means disappeared rapid
ly, and just as the last was spent,
the Professor was taken with the
fever, and died in three days, his
daughter nursing him day and
night without a morsel to eat. An
hour after the body was taken from
the house, she made her way to the
river, intending to jump in and
drown herself, but was prevented by
some French women who caught her
just in time. She resented the in
reference, saying;
81 have not a soul on earth, and |
have not a cent, and ], Jam in a
strange city. | cannot beg, and |
must die, | have no home; | must
leave the place in which | live; my
father owes rent, and all L have left
is his violin. | will not sell that,
and | must die"
She was taken to a convent for
safekeeping, and as soon as the
fund which the people of New Or
leans are rising for her is completed
she will be sent back to her home in
France.

NECESSARY EXPENSES IN THE

Dear Sir:-lnasmuch as we are in
constant receipt Of inquiries from
the various counties Of Mississippi
as to the necessary expenses Of a

state that for $4,000 all necessary
expenses, exclusive of music, can be
borne here for a session Of nine 80
months.

penses with $4,000 additional.

GEORGIA COTTON GROWERS.

The Georgia division of the South
ern Cotton Association adopted res
olutions calling upon cotton grow
ers to fix a minimum price of thir-
ty cents a bushel for cotton seed and
to not sell pound at a less price; al
so declaring that no cotton shall be
sold by farmers within its jurisdic-
ton at less than 10 cents a pound
until a fixed price shall be agreed
upon by the executive committee at
its meeting at Ashville on Septem-
Der 9th. An assessment of one cent

1t does ones heart good to see a
merry, round-faced farmer, says an
exchange. So independent, and yet
so free from vanities5 and pride. So
rich, and yet SO industrious; SO pa
tent and persevering in his calling,
and yet so kind, and obliging.
There are a thousand noble traits
about him which light up his char
acter. He is generally hospitable;
eat and drink with him, and he
won't set a mark on you, and sweat
it out of you with a double COM
pound interest at another time. You
are welcome, lie will do you a
kindness without expecting a return
by way OF compensation; it is not so
with everybody. He is generally
more honest and Slncere-less dis
posed to deal in a low and under
hand cunning, than some other peo-
pie who might be mentioned. He
gives to society its best support-he
is the edifce of government and the
lord Of nature. Look at him in
%homespun gray and black, gentle
men; laugh if you will, but believe
me he can laugh if he pleases.

OUR LIGHT & WATER PLANTS.

OUR LIGHT & WATER PLANTS.
The Enterprise explains that the
Greenwood Light and Water Plants
are paying investments by charging
that because the editor Of The Com
%monwealth opposed the purchase Of
these public utilities he has allowed
no opportunity to pass which afford
ed the least pretense for a knock at
what a majority Of our citizens still
consider a good investment
The editor Of the Enterprise
knows very well that the people
we're promised lower light and water
rentals as an inducement to get
them TO vote for the purchase Of these
plants, and he knows further hat
the rates have not been reduced and
that there isno prospect of a reduc-
ton in the near future.
The Enterprise knows also that
the electric light plant was praCti-
cally burnt out when bought by the
city at an cxorbitant price, and that
a new dynamo and engine had TO be
purchased; that new wires and poles
are now needed before the service
can be extended; that the water
plant was without water and a well
had TO be sunk by the city TO supply
the service.
The editor Of The Commonwealth
opposed the purchase of these plants
by the city on the grounds that the
price paid was outrageously exorbi-
tant and that the city could not re-
duce the rates and run them on a
paying basis. This opinion is I'M
changed, and a great many who vot-
ed for the purchase are now con-
WINGED that we were not wrong in
our conclusions.
The editor of The Commonwealth
has never opposed anything that he
c0nscientiously believed was for the
best interest of Greenwood, and has
been writing and talking for the
city and county on all occasions
many years before the editor of The
Enterprise came among us, and the
effort on his part to make anyone
believe that we are in any sense a
"knocker' is unjust and uncalled
for.
The people voted for a purchase
of the light and water plants of
Greenwood because they we're made
to believe that the rates would be
reduced and hal the plants could
be run on an expense paying basis.
The Commission in charge of the
plants, composed of our best bust
ness men, has been so far unable to
see how this can be done.
II these plants can be operated on
a paying basis by the city The
Commonwealth does not object to
city ownership; but we don't be-
lieye it can be done and give the
the promised reduction in
for service.
