OBJECT To RAISE
IN LABOR BILLS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRO-
TESTS TO GOVERNOR
Declare That Los Angeles Would
Suffer If the Measure Should
Become EffectiVe-Proof
Is Given

Governor Pardee has received a copy
of the resolutions passed by the di-
rectors of the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce, making emphatic protest
against the day labor bill passed by
both branches of the California state
legislature. The resolutions were for
warded Saturday after a special execu-
tive session of the directorate, which
was called by President Koepfi. The
resolutions follow:
Whereas, a bill raising the minimum
rate of wages for unskilled labor in
public employment from 81 to So a day
has passed both houses of the legisa-
ture and now is. before the governor
for his consideration; be it
Resolved, That the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce deprecates said
bill as unjust, unwise and injurious to
the interests of the public for the fol-
lowing reasons:
Il. Because SO a day is above the
average rate of wage for such labor,
both in this state and in other states of
the union.
''2. Because it is an unjust discrim-
ination in the matter of wages against
skilled labor in that it tends to place
both substantially on the same level.
'3. Because at all times it will work
injury to unskilled labor at large by
inevitably reducing the number of un-
skilled laborers that public authorities
can employ within the fixed limit of
just appropriation for public service or
Improvement.
"a. That it also will work injustice
and hardship to unskilled laborers in
time of depression, when the number
of unemployed necessarily is great, be-
cause it will hamper and largely cur
tail the general dispersion of public
funds in general for temporary employ
ment of large numbers of needy work.
men.
"5. That 1t will work an injury and
hardship to the public at large, because
it will tend to prevent the proper main
tenance of existing public improve
ments and the undertaking and prose-
cution of many new enterprises essen
tial to public convenience and welfare,
and the proper growth and develop
ment of our state.
Resolved, That copy Of these reso-
lutlons be sent TO the governor of the
state with the respectful but urgent
request of this chamber of commerce,
representing 1900 of the business men of
Southern California, that he veto the
bill in question"
Acting Secretary Gurley said last
evening that if the bill should become
law the provisions would greatly in
crease the expenditure of public money
and place unskilled labor on a level
with skilled labor. The added expense
for the city work. If the law Is applied
to the city payroll 1t is figured, would
involve fully 100000. The pay for city
labor ON the streets now is 81 a day.
Three dollars a day would either draw
heavily on the city cash or reduce the
number Of men employed. 1t is not
admitted that the bill as passed now
affects the cities of the state, but II is
contended that II the bill is signed by
the governor Il will not be long before

GUILTY OF BEING ROBBED
Says He Was Fined for Allowing Him
self to Be Held Up

self to Be Feld UP
Il don't know what / am fined for,
but l guess it is all right" remarke
a man in the dock of Justice Austin's
court yesterday as he seated himself
after having been fined $5 on charge
of being drunk.
The man was Edward Hawkins, a
timer and plumber of Los Angeles,
who claims to have forgotten all his
actions since Sunday, when he started
for a walk.
Hawkins first was seen near East
Market street. He was apparently
under the influence of liquor and was
staggering about the street, while
closely following him We're two MeXi-
cans.
The Mexicans struck him stunning
blow over the right eye, followed by
another in the eye telling the partly
unconscious man to the ground.
When Officer King arrived at the
scene of the encounter the Mexicans
and more than $5, the contents of
Hawkins pockets, were gone, while
Hawkins stood at the edge of the side
walk and yelled for help. The officer
was unable to get coherent answer
from the man and arrested him on a
charge of intoXication.
Hawkins having been relieved of his
money by the thugs was unable to
secure a lawyer and pleaded guilty,
He will serve on the chain gang for
five days as a punishment for allowing
himself TO be held up.

NJ 'CLURE To HANG
JURY'S VERDICT
FOUND GUILTY IN THE FIRST
DEGREE
Unless the Supreme Court Reverses
Judgment the Slayer Of Two
Men Must Pay Penalty on
the GaIlows

Guilty of murder in the first de-
gree without recommendations" was
the verdict returned yesterday by the
jury in Judge Smiths court in the
case of John Mcclure who was
charged with the murder of p. Tsodi-
coff and Jerry O'Shea at the Exchange
stables several months ago.
Unless the supreme court reverses
the judgment, which was rendered
yesterday afternoon, Mcclure will pay
the penalty of his crime on the gall
lows, as the action taken by the
Jury in declining to recommend the
murderer to the mercy of the court
imposes legal obligation on the court
to pass upon the convicted man the
death sentence
A number of murders have been
committed in Los Angeles county
within the past few years and while
many convictions have followed few
have been doomed to the gallows.
The most recent murderer who has
paid the penalty of his crime on the
gallows was e. V. Methever, the old
shoemaker who was convicted for the
second time in 1908 for the murder
of Miss Dorothy Mckee at Long
Beach.
Chinese Convicted
Wong Binn, the Chinaman who was
convicted on the charge of murder for
having killed a fellow countryman,
was sentenced to death in the superior
court of this county, but owing to al
legged Irregularities in securing the
jury the supreme court reversed the
Judgment of the lower court and or
dered new trial.
Attorney William F. Mclaughlin,
who conducted the defense in behalf
of the old miner, gave notice yester-
day that he would take an appeal
1t was intimated that a new trial
would be asked for on the ground of
the improper introduction of certain
evidence in the case, relative to the
death of Tsodicoff.
Deputy District Attorney McComas
in behalf of the prosecution made the
final address to the jury, in the course
of which he declared that the defen-
dant had falsified his testimoney in
order to bolster up and strengthen his
plea of self-defense.
McComas scored the defendant for
taking human life as a result of a dis
pute over cheap halter, and he urged
the jury to return a verdict of guilty
without recommendation of mercy.
Asks Limit
There is only one verdict which this
jury can render and do full justice to
itself and the people," said the dis
trict attorney, "and that is to find this
man guilty of murder in the first de-
gree without recommendation.
Murder in the first degree and i'm
prisonment for life would be holi-
day for this man. 1t would furnish
him with board and lodging. The
cares of life would be cast aside and
he could enjoy himself.
Such a verdict as that would not
meet the awful butchery, the malicious
butchery and murder that has been
disclosed by the testimoney in this
case"
In order to allow the convicted mans
attorney time within which to prepare
the necessary affidavits for new trial,
Judge Smith postponed the passing of
sentence on the murder until next
Monday.

WHY MEN AVOID MINISTRY.
Ministers Give Reasons That keeE
Them from Pulpit.


In an article in the Worlds Work
on "The Decline of the Ministry" Es.
erett T. Tomlinson raises the ques-
ton, What deters men from entering
the ministerial profession?' Mr..
Tcmlinson gives the result of his cor.
~respondence.
The replies and explanations OF
densed and classified, are as follows;
l. The lack Of freedom. The min
Ster is looked upon too much as one
who is hired or employed. If he de-
vietes from the theological position
he assumed when in his inexperience
and im'naturity he declared his views,
then he is certain to feel the force Of
the opposition often shutting him out
even from opportunities of labor and
service. He is looked upon not as the
minister of the church. He is eX.
pected to be a defender of the faith
rather han a teacher or a student.
2. The short and shortening period
Of service. The reasonable certainty
that after he is 40 years of 6 his
services will be less in demand and
the dead-line of so no imaginary
boyle.
3. The difficulty of maintaining a
home on the meager salaries given.
That a c~lergyman's salary usually
was a little less than what was ex-
pected of him.
4. The continual shifting Of his
home Inc field.
5. His subsection to the pettiness
OF. the attacks and demands Of petty
people.
G.. The present beneficiary sys-
tem." which degraded the entire
body.
