LABOR is in GREAT DEMAND
Passenger Agent Fee Finds the East
Powerless to Send Help

Passenger Agent Fee Finds the East
Powerless to Send Help
BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCICsO Aug. 1S.--Charles
s. Fee, general passenger agent Of the
Southern Pacific, today returned from
the east where he has been attending
numerous conferences of railroad Off
cials. He declared that there Is no
lack of faith among people in the east
1 nthe future of San Francisco.
Mr.. Fee said:
"One of the most interesting prob
lens to the people of the east is the
lsbor situation. The cry of California
and San Francisco for more labor has
been heard in the east, but they are
pcwerless to help the city.
"AlI over the country there Is a Short
age of labor. Probably the most pros
porous year In the last two decades is
now curning to a close. There never
has tt en- such an amount of railroad
construction on hard nor so mum ac-
tivlty III other Industries. The demand
for labor is far greater than the supply.
only last month there was small
army of aborers imported from
Canada to the western states for use
in the wheat fields"
He said that the Southern Pacific is
doing all in its power to induce labor

NEW CLEWS IN
CANYON MYSTERY
SHOES WERE BOUGHT BY Los
ANGELES WOMAN
Sheriff White Is Informed Of More
Strange Disappearance Of Women.
Active Search for Evidence
Progresses

New developments are crowding fast
on the Temescal canyon mystery.
That the woman found murdered was
a Los Angeles resident now seems
probable.
Sheriff Whites men have learned
from Posey Horton, the Calabasas
road house keeper, all he knows, and
he has explained his conduct before
and after finding the corpse.
The receipt bearing the name Garcia
picked up near the body is adding
some complexities, as there are scores
of Garcias near Los Angeles and Santa
Monica.
The shoes worn by the Temescal
canyon victim have been partly iden-
titled as those of a Los Angeles wo-
man.
Recognizes Shoes
The manager of the shoe department
at Hamburger's stores North Spring
street, identified the shoes worn by the
victim as one of a style of shoes sold
at a "bargain sale" six months or a
year ago. That particular STYLE
Blucher. with a semi-military heel.
was classed as a $3.50 shoe, but was
made a specially at one of the Ham
burger bargain day" sales and re-
tailed at $1.9S.
This price shoe corresponds well with
man. The changeable red and green
skirt found on the half-skeleton body
was of the variety known as a stock
skirt" and the embroidery found on
1t had been sewn on bv the owner,
whose amateurish work is discernible
More Women Missing
Sheriff White announces that he has
been informed of four women who are
missing. and that each woman's move
ments are being traced. He declines
to make public the names of these
women on the ground that it might be
embarrassing to them or their friends
and relatives.
He says none of the names of the
people for whom he is searching had
been reported to the police or to his
office prior to the Santa Monica mys-
terry.
The search also has resulted in some
traces being found of young women
hitherto regarded as lost. and the Of
ficers are thus. encouraged to persist
in their work.
Three Brothers Garcia
What may have some bearing on the
Temescal murder mystery was the dis
covery that three brothers named Gar
cia, which name is said to be inscribed
on a receipt picked up near where the
body was found. worked as laborers
at Venice for the Abbot Kinney COM
pany and Contractor w. A. Lewis un-
til quite recently.
One of these men signed his name ].
G. Garcia, and it is in the initial "G'
that the hope of clew rests
The writing on the canyon receipt
reads that G.. Garcia paid to Pike &
Rosenfield, Los Angeles tailors 81 on
July Z. the money being a deposit on
an order amounting to $3.50.
There appears to be no way of deter
mining the present whereabouts of the
brothers. One is said to be in this sec
tion and two are supposed to be work.
ine in Ventura.
Whether the G. Garcia (the two
other brothers were known as Joe and
Fred) was the brother who remained
here or the one of the two that went
away could not be ascertained by dill
gent inquiry among the men with
whom they worked
