PASSING BRIEFS FROM
CITY OF CANALS

VENICE, Oct. 22.-The vanguard of the
Lynn, Mass, shoe factory workmen who
will be employed in the establishment
now in course of construction here, ar
rived last evening. The detachment
comprises twelve foremen and their fam
lilies. 1t Is expected that altogether
about 100 men will come from the east
to work in the factory, at least thirty
Of whom are now on their way. The
workmen row here will supervise the in
stalling of machinery in the building. II
is expected that the plant will be in oper-
alton by November 15
Local business men who are giving their
support to the establishment of a race
course in this district declare that the
project is not dead, as seems to be the
general impression. DR.. ]. M. White of
the Venice chamber of commerce states
that site has practically been deter
mined on for the track and that negotia
items will be closed up shortly between
the owners of the land and the racing
officials. The location is said to be on the
Compton road between the short line and
Playa del Rey divisions of the Los An
geles- Pacific railway. An abandoned spur
track of the railway was a part of the
Kinney-Hook right of way, purchased by
the Sherman-Clarke interests skirts the
property and is counted on as being
utilized for the carrying of passengers
to the gates of the proposed enterprise.
Subscriptions to the amount of $4,000
have been signed locally for stock in the
track.
At last evenings session of the city
trustees a letter was read from George
]. Hornak of 1117 East Seventeenth
street Los Angeles, who offered to show
the board how a twenty-five cent ex-
cursion rate between Los Angeles and the
beach could be effected if the board
would pay him 5000 for his secret. The
communication was taken in the light of
a joke by the trustees, who ordered 1t re-
ferred to the local chamber of commerce.
Pending an examination of his physical
condition Gaius Edinger, the husky II
year-oid youth charged with robbing slot
gas meters in the tent city, has had his
hearing postponed in Judge Wilbur's
court.

Released Him
srec,al 10 The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Oct. 22.-Patrolmen
Louis Auburn and Roy Taylor Oh tnis
citv were arrested in San Pedro tnls
afternoon and landed in jail, City Attor-
ney Steglitz having issued warrants
charging them with battery.
The charge was preferred by Cnarles
FULTON. whom Taylor and Auburn made
a move to arrest last night at Terminal
island on a charge of disturbing the
peace at the Independent party's waru
primary.
The meeting broke up in an uproar,
the chairman, Mr.. Moss, haVlnS
..warned'' those present that If council
man was nominated all would be naole
for contempt of court and that the can
didate himself would be extra liable.
In the excitement following this Fulton
is said to have made a speech in whlcn
he denounced the alleged ofhciousness OF
the Long Beach police.
Al the close of the meeting an argu-
ment between Fulton and the two officers
present resulted in the latter's determin-
alton to arrest him. Stewart Laughlin,
principal of the school at Terminal
island, prevailed upon the patrolmen to
release Fulton.
This morning Fulton swore to battery
complaints against the policemen. alleg-
ing one of them pulled revolver on
him and that the other laid hands on
him.
Heavily armed the San Pedro police
crossed the bay and arrested the ofncers,
escorted them to San Pedro and put them
hastily behind the bars. From 1:30 un-
til 4:30 they remained in the bullpen. AT
that time r. e. Taylor, Patrolman ray
lors father, and Frank Shaw furnished
$40 bail for each of the men and they
were released.
They returned to their homes ~ West
Long Beach and Patrolman Taylor said
tonight that they would proceed to do
their duty as officers of the peace Tor
Long Beach. 1t was on City Attorney
6kinner's advice that the officers sub
mitted quietly to arrest.
"Those San Pedro folks enjoyed the
sight of us in their old bullpen. which is
built largely Of railroad tteS,. said
Taylor this evening.
soThere were four inches of water on a
good deal of the floor and the one bunk
In the corner was filthy. The people
seemed sorry to see us bailed out before
nightfall."
This morning Street superintendent
Mccoy of San Pedro took a number of
employees to Terminal island and COM
menced grading work on East Third
street. He was advised by the San Pedro
authorities to resist interference by
Long Beach None was offered, however,
throughout the day.
San Pedro bases its actions upon the
recent decision by Judge Conrey that the
election whereby Terminal Island was
annexed to Long Beach was irregular.
Long Beach expects the supreme court
to rule differently and proposes to exer-
else jurisdiction until the matter is finally
settled. The arrest of the two officers
who assert they were only doing their
duty last night has aroused intense anger
here.
In telling of Fulton's actions last night
Patrolman Taylor said that the man s
actions and his rough words against
Long Beach was inexcusable.

The steel trust, the naval officers and

IN MONOPOLYS GRIP
RESUlT OF STiFliNG OF
HEALTHY COMPETITION.
Tarin-Proteeted Trust Will Continue
to Turn Out Defective Rails
and Annual Slaughter
Will Go On.

The enormous value of competition
as a national asset is not generally
understood But as to one line of
business. it may be real zed when we
consider carefully the following state
ment of the New York Journal OF
Commerce.
The only force powerful enough to
induce the prompt adoption of i'm.
provements, and to inspire enterprise
and ingenuity. is competition
This sage and indisputable proposi-
ton has reference TO railroad rail-
making, 1t is a question, not OF
economies merely, but of life and
death. Better rails must be had. For
the last fiscal year. 10,61S persons
were killed, and 97,7O6 injured by rea-
son of railroad accidents due mainly
to defective rails produced by the
tariff-protected Steel trust and its sub
sidiarics. The economic results at
tending this wholesale slaughter have
never been calculated They are in.
calculable. And both the slaughter
and the property and business losses
are due to what? To the parsmony
and greed of tariff-protected mo-
nopoly. The journal of Commerce
says:
Subsidiary companies of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation have had
so nearly a monopoly of rail making
as practically to control both the
quality and the prices of the product
for the country, and its vast equip
ment does not seem to he adapted to
improving the quality without radical
and costly changes. In the last few
years the railroads have been increas
ing the capacity and the weight and
the power of their rolling stock to
| handle the growing traffic with as
much economy as possible, and this
has been putting a heavy strain upon
the tracks. At the same time the de-
mand for new rails has been such as
to stimulate the steel mills to rapid
work TO keep up with their orders, and
| this has not been favorable to careful
manufacture SO many Of the multi
plying accidents have been attributed
| TO defective rails that the railroads
| have been driven to insist upon an i'm
| proved type of rails and better quail
| ity of steel in their production
| But how are we to get better rails
so long as monopoly, weighed down
with antiquated plants, controls the sit
uation? And how can we expect i'm
provements in other lines of produc-
| ton? The stand-patters and their
presidents will have to answer for
/ this shocking loss of life and this
shocking reactionary tendency of tar
if laws. They will cry prosperity,
prosperity" But what is prosperity
| to the dead victims of trust greed, or
to the people at large who have no
| share In It?
