RAILWAYS CARRY THOUSANDS
Crowds Throns to Beaches, Calling All
Cars Into Service

On all electric railways leading from
Los Angeles to the mountains and
beach resorts Labor day had deep sig
nif1cance. The labors of employees be-
gan early in the morning and continued
until traffic stopped at 1890 o'clock
this morning.
While Agricultural park was the
mecca for members of labor organiza-
tions, thousands of Angelenos took ad-
vantage of the general cessation of
business for a trip outside the city.
Travel to the beaches Sunday was
largely increased by the number of
persons who availed themselves of the
possibility of two days of recreation.
The Pacific Electric offered the usual
special service and the ticket sellers
at the big terminal station were kept
busy throughout the day. For the Pa
cific Electric company the day was one
of the largest of the year.

in view of the spectators in the per-
formance of her perilous feat.
There can be no question regarding
the hazard of this wonderful ingenious
mechanical performance, for the auto
mobile travels at a speed of fifty miles
an hour and when at the bottom It
takes the turn upward, thus becoming
reversed upside down in reality), flies
through space until reaching the oppo-
site section of the loop, when, assuming
its normal position, it carries its fair
occupant in safety to the end of the
track.
To say the deed is a fearless one is
to convey but half an impression of its
perilous character, but the ease AMI
apparent certainty with which it is
executed seemingly robs it of the ele
ments of danger, but which are ever
however, in it's performance.
For no matter how mechanically per-
feet the apparatus may be constructed,
nor upon what line of scientific calcu-
lation. the smallest screw, nut or bolt
out of place would cause a disaster to
machine and artistic.
Fortunately thus far no serious re-
suits have ever taken place, notwith-
standing the performance has been
given hundreds of times. But it must
be seen. 1t cannot be described. And
it is really marvellous. 1t can be seen

A we'll known Chicago hair specialist
invited the Inter Ocean reporter to

FIGHTS MAR PICNIC AT PARK

Labor day brought forth the usual
gala scenes witnessed hitherto in Los
Angeles, but never to SO large de-
gree. Twenty-seven hundred toilers
paraded the business streets of the city
yesterday morning. Seven thousand
persons made merry in athletic con-
tests, games and sports at the big pic
mic at Agricultural park during the
afternoon. Night found nearly as many
more at the beach resorts.
In the parade of the morning the
blacksmith truged along in his leather
apron. The machinist carried his tools.
The butcher, the baker, the candle
stick maker and his successor, the
electrical worker, wended his way over
a distance of three miles while thou
sands of onlookers lined the sidewalks
and mingled their applause with the
happy enthusiasm of the marchers. 1t
was procession of the guilds of five
hundred years ago brought down to
date with the addition of representa-
tives Ct hundred newer crafts, the
music of bands and the martial strains
of the drum and fife corps.
Route of Parade
The procession formed at Seventh
and Main streets at $50 o'clock,
marched to First street, South on
Spring to Seventh then up Broadway
to the chamber Of commerce, where it
turned and countermarched.
The army of laborers was preceded
by a squad of police. Grand Marshal
NJ. S. Culver with his aids led the pro-
cession and was followed by represen-
tatives of the carpenters union, their
coats off. shirt sleeves rolled up and
five hundred strong.
Third in the procession was the float
of the queen of Labor day, Miss Emma
Newson. who sat enthroned upon dias
overhung with white and surrounded
by a score of young girls.
During the counter marching on
Boradway, as the different unions
swung past, hats were thrown in the
air, flags were waved and rounds of
cheers were given for the queen of labor
and her attendants.
Carry Gaudy Pennants
The painters and decorators carrying
gaudy hued pennants followed, keeping
step to the music of a drum and fife
corps. The plumbers and electrical
workers were next in line, the craft of
the former being typified by a float
showing half a dozen plumbers busy at
their trade, an Unce Sam and bath
tub containing two pickaninnies who
disported themselves beneath a spray.
The allied printing trades had one OF
the largest representations in the pa
rade. The $50 men were led by Dona-
telli's band and in perfect line and step
made favorable impression upon the
crowds that lined the streets. The
broom makers carried parasols of
broom corn.
Another organization to excite COM
ment was the laundry workers. union
represented by forty men marching and
forty women, the latter dressed in
white, seated in tiers upon float.
At Seventh and Broadway the pa
rade disbanded.

THE ABERDEEN GROUP ASSOCIA-
TON.

The Aberdeen Group Associa
ton is to be congratulated. Tt
has won its fight. 1t has last
been put in a position where the
securement of lower freight
rates. rates more equitable and
just and more in harmony with
the rates enjoyed by competi-
tors. Is matter entirely within
the hands of the railroad com
mission, and if this body does not
apply the remedy to this section
there will be a howl which will
be heard from one end of the
State to the other.
The victory came the past week
in a decision which came from
the Supreme Court of the State,
which virtually gives the State
Railroad Commission power to
tx rates within the State, and
inasmuch as a connecting rail
way with the great Mississippi
river from Meridian to Vicksburg
gives the former place the ad
van tage of river rates. the con
Meeting railway from Columbu
to Greenville will give Colum bus
and the cities of this section the
same vantages.
Several years ago the Aberdeen
Group Association, fighting for
what the cities composing this
Association believed right and
fair and just, took up the matter
of securing freight rates for
these cities as cheap as those en-
joyed by Meridian. BY reason
of the discrimination in the lat
ter places favor it was enabled
to sell goods right at our doors,
and the discrimination was so
pronounced that Columbus and
other towns in this section were
practically put out of the jobbing
business When appealed to ia
the matter the State Commission
stated that they had authority
to regulate rates within the
State, but. in explanation. the

sippi river at Meridian was made
the basis for the low rates which
that city enjoyed. Certain prom
inent citizens of Columbus cited
the fact that Columbus and other
cities here were similarly stu
ated, and the Commission prom
ised the group that they should
have the advantage of these
rates. When the matter came
before the com mission for a final
hearing i was taken under con-
sideration, then referred, then
postponed, then re-beard. then
again postponed, then taken
under consideration again. then
taken through all the intermin-
able process employed by such
bodies when it is desired to
choke a thing to death.
The rate was never ordered in
effect and the people of this Sec
ton took the matter up before the
Inter State Commerce Com mis-
sion. which gave an opinion that
the rates were too high, but that
they were powerless to order a
lower scale, not having the au-
thority. The citizens here weary
ing of the fight have never car
ried the matter into the courts
preferring to await the decision
of the Meridian case.
1t has been reported in the

Kincannon will move at the next
meeting of the Com mission for
the rates to be lowered to the
Meridian basis. and it is to be

WANTED A THOUSAND MILL
HANDS

There IS a serious problem con-
fronting the manufacturer Of
Colum bus-a problem that must
be solved if the city would
continue to grow and we
would realize our hopes and
dreams as to a manufacturing
center. 1t is none other than
the labor problem. Labor is
scarce here and as result many
of our leading and substantial
manufacturing enterprises are
badly hand c4ppad thereby. The
money is invested. the fixed scale
of expense remains the same
but the machines are idle and the
earning capacities of many of
Columbus mills is reduced for
want of operatives. This condi
ton cannot be allowed to con
tinue if we would grow and ex-
pand into a great manufacturing
center.
The writer had occasion to Wis
it the Cohoes mill a few days ago
and found this splendid mill ia
need of help badly. 1t is truly
one of the model mills of the
South, the only one of it's kind
in this State. and it has a brilliant
future ahead of it with the labor
problem solved. Could the man.
woman or child visit this mill and
realize the fine opportunities pre-
scented for prOtitab EN- ploy ment

terror, would come to Columbus
and cast their lot with US and
earn not only a good living. but
would lay aside something for
the proverbial rainy day
The Cohoes mill is modern
mill and it would be difficult to
find employment under condi-
tions more favorable. Tt is sci.
dom that one finds operatives
more pleasantly surrounded
Here we find employ ment does
not require the employed to
stand, but many of them remain
seated comfortably throughout
the day Their surroundings are
clean and sanitary, and all con-
veniences, such as toilet rooms,
ice water, fans. etc. minimize the
labor to the smallest. The fin
ishing room of this establishment
is one Of the coolest and most
pleasant of any we have ever Wis
tied, and working in is a pleas
ure. Similar conditions prevail
in every department, and the
scale of wages paid to those who
soon become proficient in the
work, is far ahead of the ay-
erage paid in such establish
ments. Surely no finer oppor
tunity for employment to the
deserving man, woman or child
could be desired.
The scarcity of labor which
has affected this esta blishment
applies to other similar establish
ments in Colum bus. There is
work and plenty Of it at good
wages. and it is believed that
with the many industrial plants
here, that employment could be
found for fully a thousand add
tional operatives.
This condition can be remedied
if the people of this city will but
apply the remedy. "A large mum
