TRYING TO BOYCOTT ORANGES

The Chicago Tribune takes occasion
to mention that the California State
Federation Of Labor has addressed z
letter 10 Secretary Nockels Of the Chi
cago Federation, in which the former
says:
" organized labor I'm the principal
orange and lemon markets will boycott
oranges and lemons that have been
picked by other than white labor the
Japs would be quickly discharged.
This communication has been referred
to Mr.. Samuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation Of Labor.
The senseless character of this war
fare upon the orange growers Of South
ern California is seen in the fact that
the work of picking oranges is not
In any category of skilled labor; that
the growers every season are unable
to get men enough of any kind to har-
vest the crop; and that they are not
partial to japanese but are compelled
t. employ them or see their fruit rot
in the orchards.
The testimony of the newspapers at
Riverside and Redlands is unanimous
in the statement that white labor, at
times, cannot be had in sufficient NUM-
bers to meet the increasing demands Of
the orchardists. a large portion of this
white labor, II is said, will not work
except at figures which the growers
declare they cannot afford to pay
wages which in some instances equals
that Of skilled tradesmen.
And now the California Federation
the boycott of a young in
dustry which is almost the life and
soul of this section. 1t is an act Of an
archy, an act of destruction, an effort
to make waste the beautiful sources of
existence Of thousands OF skilled la
borers, whose employment directly oil
Indirectly is based upon the success or
failure of the orange crop.
1t is another evidence of the reck-
less character of the union labor agita-
tor, who is perfectly willing to pull
down the temple of decent and patriotic
workmanship upon all the labor of the
country for the mere pleasure of agi-
tation. 1t is more proof, if more were
needed that the red hand of the walk
ing delegate is against all industries
and all developments that are not
chained to his cart and made a slave
to his dictum.
1t would be well for the people Of
Southern California to understand that
n hnUnnft nl 10
oranges is only part of general sys-
tenn of destruction, which the Los
agitators-whose organ is
Hearsts yellow newspaper-are PLAN
ming for the entire state They should
be warned in time, in order that they
may meet the situation determinedly
and with the most effective means.

A GREAT CITIZEN

All Southern California hears again
with delight that Grover Cleveland.
the only living ex-president of the
United States and the most distin-
guished private citizen, TX making a
renewed effort to locate in Los Angeles
or in one of the nearby cities. He could
not find more pleasing and delightful
climate, and If the testimony of many
thousands. is to be believed he will
find here the blessings of health, con-
tentment and complete refuge from
the cares and turmoiIs of busy life.
Grover Cleveland would be a well
come addition to the distinguished citi-
zenship of Southern California. He
would find here an abundance of pro-
fessional, literary and educational
companionship that would be very
pleasing to man of his personality,
and he certainly would not hold against
us the brutal Republican majority of
Los Angeles county, since the last
presidential election appeared to put
every other section of the United States
in the same disgusting position.
But there would be no politics in the
welcome that Southern California
would extend to Grover Cleveland. He
can come here and rest in the peren-
NAL sunshine or sit in the shade of his
own orange trees or date palms with
no one to modest or make afraid

WHAT Mr.. RIIS SAID
His Own Version of the Language He
Used in Speaking of Mr.. Roosevelt
and Third Term

From the Chicago Tribune.
BAY CITY, Mich, Jan. 26.-(Editor
of the Tribune.)-I have just read in
today's Tribune the statement that
had nominated President Roosevelt
for third term" and your editorial
comments upon the alleged perform
ance, counseling me to go slow. Your
advice would apply very justly If had
ever said anything you printed. / did
not. Where l erred was in not writing
out my answer to the reporter who
interviewed me. Your correspondent
was mised into helping along a mis-
chievous sensation. But he ought tc
have known better.
Here is the Toledo News-Bee re-
port;
"Reporter-But suppose the fight isn't
finished when Roosevelt's time expires
in 1908?
"Answer-If duty demanded Roose-
welt to continue this fight he would dc
it. I know he does not want to be-
come candidate for another term. but
at the bottom Of his heart he believes
in the people and will fight for them. y
If for "at" the bottom of his heart
you read from" the bottom of his
heart the report can claim substantial
correctness technically. The trouble Is
with the apparent spirit of it, which
moved the man at the city desk to
write heading announcing that ]
declared the president would accept
denomination should his work be UNI
finished at the close of his term" See
now, the further development of this
idea in your Toledo dispatch:
"If duty demanded that President
Roosevelt continue this fight he would
do it. know he does not want to be-
come candidate for another term, but
at the BOTTOM Of his heart he believes
the people will fight for him."
What 1 did say was simply that
Roosevelt would not be a candidate for
another term; that 1 knew his reasons
and respected and admired them, but
that most certainly he was in this fight
to stay and that he would fight II Out
on the floor of congress or wherever
else his voice and his leadership would
tell And that he will, depend on It
He has no more idea of abandoning
the peoples cause in the fight upon the
privilege grabbers than he has OF
breaking his pledge, voluntarily anc
gladly made in the hour OF his trl.

are sufficiently matured TO give the
state confidence that It proposes to
really engage in business and that it
has something legitimate to sell. Up
to this time there has only been mod
icum of wild-catting in the way of
corporations begun only for the pur-
pose of selling stock in, hot air, but
the temptation and the opportunity are
all present, fostered and encouraged
by the lack of law. It would be far
better to lock the stable door while
the commonwealth is still in possession
Of its good name.

Mayor Schmitz is quoted by the
Record as saying: 1T is to the interest
of large corporations to keep down
wages TO the lowest possible limits"
This Is the talk Of a demagogue. 1t is
not to the interest of corporations to
keep wages down TO the lowest possible
limits and nobody knows it better than
Mayor Schmitz. Corporations, soulless
as they are, are perfectly conscious of
the fact that the lowest possible wages
means unskillful work. inefficient SER
vice and product that would inevitably
ruin their business. They fight against
the maximum wage on the plea of close
competition and they will hold wages
TO low reasonable limit, but when II
comes to 1.-THE lowest possible limits"
even the soulless corporation will say
no. Mayor schmitz thinks he is talking
to lot Of sailors.

Transactions in Los Angeles real
estate and building for the month of
January already show a sharp advance
over the same month of last year,
demonstrating the continued rapid
growth of the city. 1t is now estimated
that when this month shall have closed
the business will have amounted to
$1,300,001, as compared with $950,533 for
January, 1905. During the past week
there were 209 building permits issued
for improvements valued at $273,637.
OF this number the big Sixth ward is
far ahead with sixty-five permits, the
Fifth ward second with thirty-slx and
the Ninth ward third with twenty-six.
It is remarkable that for several months
past the Ninth ward Boyle Heights)
has stood steadily in third place,
whereas for years it has been the last
on the list. The Ninth is now among
the busiest sections in the city, rival
ing the southwest and south in the
number of its new homes.
