Cut and Slash Plan

your story in last Sundays Her
aid of the extortionate prices paid by
consumers of fruits and vegetables in
Los Angeles shows the one side of
how the commission men are robbing
the people, but want you to know
also how the ranchers are being robbed.
"I refer here to the producers in the
outlying districts who ship their vege-
tables and fruits to Los Angeles and
are compelled to depend on the COM
mission mon selling 1t for them.
Here are the facts Of one case,
among many. Some are worse and
others are not quite so bad. A month
ago, when tomatoes were selling at
$3.50 to $1.75 wholesale for twenty
pound boxes, my neighbor sent some to
a commission house at the Third-street
market and only got returns at 20
cents box.
"They were extra fine tomatoes and
were received in fine condition. This
same house stated the prices at which
he sold my vegetables and sent me
returns for considerably less.
"It has become so bad that the
ranchers In La Habra valley have or
ganized and incorporated a union
known as the La Habra Valley Vege-
table union and rented stalls at the
old Ninth street market.
NOW. If the people of Los Angeles
win only help them along they can
not only buy their fruits and vegeta-
bles from the producer at more rea-
sonable price but can get them nice
and fresh.

IMPROVEMENT ISSTARTED
Work on Queen Street Was Com
menced Monday Morning.
SOME TALK OF AN INJUNCTION
Property Owners DO Net Want Brick
Placed on Loose Earth Old
Ties Are Dug Up.

The work of laying the water mains
on South Queen street preparatory to
paving that thoughfare with Verified
trick was commenced Monday morning
by force of 90 workmen under direc-
ton of Assistant Engineer johnson,
and considerable progress was made
by noon. Tie question Of using ~
inch pipe. instead OF an S.inch,
brought up aud discussed by the in
suTalce agents. was compromised by
the city agreeing to nse a 6.inch pipe
from the main line to the fire
plugs, and the authorities will also
use the latest and most improved fire
plays along Queen sire ct. The s.
inch Dips, ordered for the purpose.
will be placed in position, and this
will supply all the water required
for years to come.
| After going down few inches
below the surface of the street the
workmen came upon dozens Of the
cross-ties used BY the defunct cleo.
trio railway that ran up QUEEN
street. These ties were permitted to
remain the street after the street car
line went out of existence, the maca.
dam being placed over them. Many
of them had been.under the ground
for about twelve years, but were
found in good state of preservation.
There has been some talk among the
property owners on Queen street in
reference to an injunction to prevent
the paveing Of the street this fall, on
the ground that good job cannot be
made If the brick is laid before the
earthE over the mains is allowed to
settle to permanent basis. 1t il
contended that the traffic will cause
the brick to settle into the earth and
make Gullies inst where the curve
of the hrjck shotld be highest. Sc
far the talk has not taken definite
shape. and just what action the
property owners will take is matter
of speculation. In the meantime
the work will be vigorously pushed BY
/ the authorities

SENSATIONAL DAMAGE SUIT
mR. MUNDEY SUES MR. sTocKER
FoR sum OF $1,000.
Former says the Latter rs Guilty o
Islander In Accusing Him OF
OF THEFT.

One of the most sensational
damage suits filed in recent
years in the Circuit court here
was that brought Friday morn
ing by Mr.. Joseph Mundey, the
well-known West King street
baker and confectioner, against
Mr.. Chris. Stocker, the South
Queen street baker and confect~
Toner, in which Mr.. Mundey
seeks to recover damages in the
sum of $4,000 for alleged sland-
er.
The suit is the outcome of
charges alleged to have been
made by Mr.. Stocker, in which
the ownership of several ice
cream freezers is in dispute.
Mr.. Mundey states that Mr..
Stoker has circulated the report
that he (Mundey) had stolen
some ice cream freezers belong
ing to Stocker. This charge Mr..
Mundey denies, while Mr..
Stocker as positively reiterates
the charge.
Mr.. Mundey has retained the
firm of Faulkner, Walker &
Woods, and the suit will be Wig
orously prosecuted at the Mo-
vember term of court. When
seen Friday Mr.. Stocker said
he had nothing to say until
the proper time comes, when he
will introduce witnesses to sus>
tain the charge. He will retain
counsel and fight the case. The
suit has caused a sensation here,
as both men are prominent mer-
chants and we'll known in the
business circles of this city.
