EASTSIDERS OBJECT
TO ClTY'S BONFIRE
OPPOSE PLAN TO BURN RUBBISH
IN REDoNpo TRIANGLE
Health Board TacitIy Acquiesces in
Scheme of Board of Public Works
to Consume Paper In the Low Sec
ton Near the River Bed

Prospects of having perpetual bon
fire filling the air with smoke and
fumes near their property aroused res
idents near the "Redondo Triangle"
into making formal protest last night
before the board of health.
The board has been considering u
proposition broached by the board of
public works to have all waste paper
found on the streets and collected by
city wagons burned in the open space
in the triangle which is in the south
eastern section of the city between the
railroad tracks and the Los Angeles
river.
The protest came from residents east
of the triangle who fear that the an
noyance will be theirs, mostly. because
of the play of air currents when the
fires are burning.
The board filed the protest, but took
no formal action last night apparently
tacitly acquiescing in whatever plans
the board of public works decides on
to get rid of the waste paper in the
quickest and most inexpensive manner,

SPEND MILLIONS
FOR EQUIPMENT
FREIGHT CARS ORDERED FOR
NEXT YEAR
Rolling stock Costing $21 100000 and
Numbering t6,eoo Cars Needed.
Prosperity Results In
Raised Wages

Advices from Chicago and elsewhere
say that, prompted by the congestion of
traffic and the car shortage for this
year, the heads of the main lines are
making purchases of freight equip
ment for 1907 on grand scale.
1t was announced that they now
have orders i'm for $21, 100000 worth of
refrigerator, fiat and gondola cars, all
of which it is expected will be deliv-
cred before the season of heavy traf-
fic next year.
The total number of freight cars or
dered but not yet delivered is 16,6OO.
OF these 5000 are refrigerator cars.
These will be of the most modern type
and will cost $1,000 each. About 800 of
them will be delivered before jan
uary and the rest have been prom
ised at the rate of 500 a month during
the first of the months of next year.
OF all that have been received the
Hartman lines will own total of
747O refrigerator cars. Heretofore they
have used annually 1000 to 5000 be-
longing to the Armour Car Line conn
pany.

SHARE PROFITS WITH EMLPovEs
Practically All Railroads Decide to
Increase Wages
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Herald
says 1t has become known that practl-
cally all the great railroad and indus
trial corporations Of the country, the
affairs of which are directed from this
city, have decided to increase the pre-
vailing rate of wages to their en-
ployes. Besides the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, which already has an
nounced an increase the Standard Oil
company, the Amalgamated Copper
company and the United States Steel
corporation are mentioned as having
decided on increases or having the sub
ject under discussion.
The New York Central, the Lacka-
wanna and other eastern railroads, the
Herald says, have either been request
ed to advance the wages of employees
or have taken some steps to do so.
The Herald says the increased cost
of living and the prevailing prosperity
are the reasons for the step and that
the managements of the corporations
desire to have their workmen partici-
pate in the prosperity.
