THE SLUGGING HABIT

The Packing Trades council of Chi
cago, which represents the thousands
of workers in the packing houses and
stock yards, deserves praise for cer-
tain resolutions passed last Monday.
Therein the council declares, I'VE do
hereby condemn slugging and demand
that organized labor assist in the prose-
cution of any party or parties, union
or non-union, in any way connected
with slugging gangs" That action re-
lated to the death of a non-unionist at
the hands of union slugger. A sec
ond resolution appeals to the states
attorney to prosecute the murderer ''in
order that all sluggers may take warn
ing and that the labor movement may
be purged of transgressors of the law"
The spirit of these resolutions is ad-
nirable. They indicate a realization
of the fact that trade unionism can
command public respect and confidence
of that spirit. Lawless interference
with the right Of non-union men to
earn bread for their families never can
and never will be tolerated by the
American people.
No fault can be found with trade
pears and public opposition is aroused
only when trade unions arrogate to
themselves the right to prohibit other
workers from following their industrial
callings. And when it comes to the
slugging method of coercing non-union-
lists, the stage OF fault-finding is passed
and stern retribution is demanded.
1t is especially noteworthy that the
stand thus announced by the Packing
Trades council is made in the city
where the grossest outrages have been
perpetrated, for many years, against
non-union workers. Implication in
such outrages always has been denied
by trade union leaders, but there never
has been even pretense Of effort to
bring the sluggers to justice.
1t now remains to be seen whether
the laudable resolutions mean business.
Until the spirit of them is put to prac-
tical test judgment of their value will
have to be suspended.
Evidently the authorities Of Chicago
accepted the resolutions as a sincere
document, for yesterday the Chicago
grand jury returned large number of
indictments gainst labor agitators.
charging them with general rufianism,
Other labor lsaGers at once declared
that the indictments were returned be-
cause Of the recent decision of the
union labor organization to go into
politics.
And there you are.

PROCLAMATION EDITION

Next Sunday, July 29 The Herald
will print and publish it's "PROCLA-
NATION EDITION." for which special
articles and advertisements have been
in process of accumulation for several
weeks 1t is designated Proclamation
Edition" because its leading feature
will be a certificate by we'll known citi-
zens, over their facsimile signatures
that the great disaster at San Fran
cisco has had no injurious effect upon
Los Angeles and that this city is de-
veloping and is more prosperous thar
ever before. The edition will contain
vast fund of entertaining facts ane
growth and the splendid enterprises In
hand that make substantial and per-
manent this great metropolis.
Next Sundays Herald, therefore, in
addition to its regular features of news
and special articles, will have several
sections devoted particularly to Los
Angeles and Southern California, and
will be one of the finest and most
valuable documents published on be-
half of this city.
Orders have been received for many
thousands of copies of The Herald S
Proclamation Edition." and advertise
ments are already crowding close upon
the limit. Hence the Necessity of this
public notice to all who are interested
that If they desire extra copies they
should file their orders early. Those
who wish to insert advertisements
must present their applications at
once. as only a few more can be re-

COTTON STALK PAPER

It has been demonstrated that all
grades of paper, from the best form of
linen grade to the lowest, can be manu-
featured from cotton stalks. In addi-
tion to this a variety of by-products,
such as alcohol nitrogen, material for
guncotton and smokeless powder can
also be secured in paying quantities.
The time is not now far distant when
paper plants equipped with all modern
machinery and devices for making
paper and the utilization of the other
by-products referred 10 will be built and
placed in operation throughout the
cotton growing states of the south.
The establishment of these mills for
the manufacture of paper from cotton
stalks will develop a new industry of
enormous proportions and institute the
utilization of waste product which at
the present time has comparatively
little or no value. 1t will prove the en-
tering wedge of checking the present
increasing cost of paper.
1t Is estimated that on an area OF
land producing bale Of cotton at least
one ton of stalks can be gathered. Upon
this basis of calculation this new in
dustry can annually depend upon from
100000 to 120O0,444 tons of raw ma
terial This will not only furnish the
necessary supplies to meet all home
demands, but also permit of the export
OF pulp or finished products to foreign
countries. At the present time there Is
approximately $2H 100000 invested in
paper mills in the United States, with
but few plants located in the south. The
bulk OF the material going into the
manufacture of paper at the present
time Is spruce pine and which is an
nually becoming more expensive in the
depletion of the forests and the high
prices which such timber commands In
the markets for other uses. The utili.
cation OF a waste product such as the
cotton stalk, manufactured into com.
mercial paper. will be a boon of ines
timable value to the whole country.
The practical effect OF this new in
vention Will be TO increase the present
value OF the south's cotton crop nearly
$l0O, ,O00, 900 annually. With the remova
OF the cotton stalks from the fields In
the early fall the death knell OF the boil
weevil will be sounded.

The consolidation commission may
know its business better then those on
the outside could know, but to a man
up a tree It looks as though the COM
mission is wasting an undue amount OF
time, especially IN view of the apparent
fact that neas-by cities are becoming
weary of the wait and seem inclined to
go 1t alone. San Pedro and Long
Beach long since appealed to the COM
mission for terminal rates as a condi-
tion precedent to annexation. The com
mission has since postponed its meet
ings from time to time and VIII not
now reassemble until August 2s. Mean
time those cities have opened negotia-
tions with the railroads direct. and
evidently seem bent on attending to
their own business. The Los Angeles
commission cannot act too promptly.

A TEACHER rAMINn7

Now comes the school superintendent
of Los Angeles county with an express
sion Of fear that he will not have
teachers enough to "go round" at the
beginning Of the next term. It has
been somewhat dificult for three or
four years to secure the required al
lotment Of efficient teachers, as con-
sequence OF the great Increase IN the
number Of pupils. but the present sit
uation in that respect is more serious
than ever before.
An idea Of the dilemma which con-
fronts the superintendent may be OBJ
tained from his statement that nearly
500 more teachers will be required for
the public schools Of Los Angeles
county at the beginning Of the next
term than we're needed one year ago.
At the commencement Of the fall term
last year, 1887 teachers were employed
in the public schools OF the county.
Increasing pressure in the number Of
pupils made It necessary to increase the
number OF teachers until, at the end of
the school year. 1922 were employed.
The county superintendent of schools
. is confident that all records for increas-
ing numbers of pupils will be broken
during the coming school year. An in
crease Of fully 200 teachers will be
needed at the beginning, and he be-
lieves the total requirement will reach
nearly If not quite 1000 before the
school year closes.
Where are the 500 additional teach
ers to be found? The qualifications for
teaching are so stringent here that a
large proportion of aspirants for the
service are ineligible. And then. the
average salaries are lower than many
bright persons, fully qualified for
teaching, are inclined to accept. Other
fields Of activity are more alluring. as
rule, than the teaching vocation with
its hard work and relatively poor pay.
Evidence on that point is seen in the
large number of last years teachers
who have dropped out Of the service.
About nine-tenths of the teachers are
women and designations are frequent
because of opportunities to accept
other engagements-chiefly matrimo-
NAL.
1t is a serious question whether it
will not soon be absolutely necessary
to increase the salaries of teachers in
order to maintain the complement and
assure the present high standard of
efficiency.
