FACTORY GROWTH
IN Los ANGELES
GOVERNMENT PUTS ANGEL
CITY IN THE LEAD
Statistics Tell the story Of Rapid
Advancement In Industrial
Llnes-Wages Paid In
Los Angeles

Los Angeles Herald May %: There
is good meat for the upstate detrac-
tors of Los Angeles to feed on in the
census reports on manufacturing in Cali
fornia. 1t has been the fashion of
small places like Oakland and Sacra-
mento, envous of Los Angeles great
growth to cry that it Is a transient,
tourist population, resting on no solid
basis; that the growth is ephemeral,
and that Los Angeles has no trade or
commerce Of consequence and as to
manufactures, is nil. They have pointed
to the absence of smoking chmneys
sneeringly, and have fiaunted their own
beclouded skies as evidence of what
they are doing and what Los Angeles
lacks.
But the United States census figures
rather put another face on this. For
the five years, 1900 to 1906 they show
that Los Angeles made by far the great
est gain in manufactures that is re-
corded IL the state. The state percent
age of gain during that time was 36.9,
while Los Angeles gained In the same
period 524 per cent. Only one other
city in the state-Sacramento
above the state average, and it re-
corded only Al per cent. Thus Los An
geles really brought California's gain
far above the normal. San Jose gained
20 per cent, San Francisco 2S.6 per cent,
and Oakland 2S.2 per cent--a little over
half what Los Angeles did.
Wages Paid
AS to wages paid, Los Angeles is far
in the lead, her gain being 1875 per
cent-well beyond any other commun-
ity; the expense of operation here
gained 1888 per cent, and the output
130 per cent while cost of materials in
creased 1911 per cent-all being away
ahead of any other California city-too
far for comparison.
OF course up to the time of the earth
quake, San Francisco led the state as
of gain was only about half that bf Los
Angeles-showing that this city was
steadily forging ahead of it. Now, as a
result ofthat disaster, Los Angeles is
easily and by big margin not only the
greatest manufacturing center in the
state, but on the coast as well.
Los Angeles may not have as many
smoky chimneys nor defile as much at
mosphere as some other cities, but there
is a reason for this-it burns oil almost
exclusively. But the census figures
show that in manufacturing only San
Francisco led it last year; that it was
twice as prosperous as its next near
est city; that 1t is far beyond rivalry in
its extent of gain and that it is now,
because of the San Francisco catas-
trophe, the one great maunfa cturing
center of the coast.
Now let the knockers and carpers
chew on this awhile.
