Lays in his lint and cotton rolls,

UNIQUE cALIFoRNIA LABOR PRoBLEM

A labor trouble in the orange belt to which The
Herald alluded some time ago, has reached acute
stage. It results from the employment Of Japanese in
the orange groves to supply the demand for more
pickers than are otherwise obtainable The growers
have been sorely pressed for labor since the be-
ginning of the orange marketing season at which
they thought they could afford The scarcity of pckers
made it possible for avalabe workers to fix their
prices and to impose such conditions best suited
them. The producers we're at the mercy of the har-
vesters
In this emergency Japanese laborers appeared with
offers to work at what the orange considered
reasonable prices Their work satisfactory to their
employers but the former workers, who sought
to monopolize the picking of oranges. AS of the
newspapers of the orange belt states the "The
white pckers not particularly infatuated with the
idea of working for 81 day. and several occasions
experienced who had come here from Los Angeles
and other points took the next train back"
But the Japanese satisfactory workers, and
when it became apparent that they would get good
share of the picking their competitors adopted
tactics. They attempted to drive the little brown
out of the orange belt. Growing bolder gradually
they assaulted the Japanese some and serious
trouble is threatened
AS example of the length to which this racial
difficulty has gone already here introduce, copied
from the Redlands Review of recent date the text of
placard printed in red ink and having skull and
crossbones for background, which found nailed
to the door at the Japanese headquarters East Cen
avenue" The is printed in black type in the
Review, surrounded by border. Here it is Get out
of town. you Jap dogs, you will get the hi knocked
out of you You have taken Port Arthur but you
can't take Redands Your dose will be the lead next
time"
Under fear of angering the class Of persons who
make such threats many orange growers have been led
to discharge their Japanese workers and submit to the
best obtainabe terms with the white pickers. The
orange harvesting has only fairly commenced,
and there is grave anxiety in localities about the
outcome of the trouble started.

RAPID FREIGHT TRANSIT

The railway companies are doing splendid service
for Southern California, well for themselves by
introducing quick transit for pershabe products They
overcoming the greatest drawback to the large
production in this section of many varieties veg
GABLES especially luxures There is other section
of the United States prolific this in the
growth of vegetable delicaces, but the distance
the eastern markets precludes production without the
assurance of high speed in transportation
The celery growing industry disclosed in yester.
days Herald, affords example of the great benefit
derived from the fast schedules of railway trains
poyed exclusively in that line. No doubt it surprised
many readers, particularly in this section
to learn that the celery output shipped by way of
Angeles this will comprise from 1900 to 1000
carloads celery train-nothing but celery--leaves
this city early every morning, arriving in Chicago in
six days and in New York in ten days. Such
rapid service the delivery of the celery in good
condition in all the leading eastern markets.
But the, celery product is only of the many
speciates in the vegetable line that now can be grown
in this section and marketed proftably in the east
The markets will before long be supplied with
prief period of their production in the east from the
strawberry farms near Los Angeles Southeastward
in the socalled desert districts of Riverside San
Diego counties the most luscious melons in the world
raised and they ready for market earlier
than melons grown in the east
There many other varieties of vegetation, par
ticuarly adapted to Southern California which will be
made speciaes for the eastern markets as a result
of the fast transportation introduced by the transcon
tinental railways.

JOE FOLKS SILLY UKASE

Those who personally acquainted with Joe Folk,
the governor of Missouri not surprised at the
ukase he has issued for the government of lobbyists
is utterly absurd that even his worshipers must
shut both eyes in order to appreciate it.
"All lobbyists" says joe must report to me and
tell me their business they arrive at the
capital Immediately thereafter they must tell the
newspaper correspondents why they are at the capa
and within thirty hours thereafter the said lobbyists
must depart from Jefferson City,"
AS imperial effort this is about the silliest thing
that Folk has been guilty Of 1t is his customary
grandstand play and will doubt appeal to the gal
ery. He knows should know, that he has no more
power than a newsboy to enforce such rules regu
lations. Lobbyists who not charged with any Of
fense by due process of law have much right the
state capital as any other Citizen good or bad and
effort to Danish them by rules" is about the limit
( of fooshness.
The lobbyists who infest state capitals gener
ally railway other corporation attorneys, whose
primary and legitimate business is to appear before
committees of the legislature in the interest of their
corporations. Their lobbying may be only "a side
issue" it is usually very important "side ISSUE it
is true but attorneys they have right to visit the
state capital If Joe Folk drive them out with
three rules that wouldn't frighten sheep he is big
ger man than any one who knows him personally be-
eves he is.
And if he succeeds in enforcing his funny little
ukase Caornians may Deseech him to blow bis breath
