JUST GAMBLERS

THERE is no reason why the pulse
Of Los Angeles should quicken q
beat in response to what, under
some circumstances, might be regarded
as gloomy news. We refer particularly
to the announcements that the Pitts
burg stock exchange failed to open for
business yesterday morning and that q
chain Of small banking institutions in
Nevada has suspended.
Like other similar concerns, the Pitts
burg stock exchange is simply the
operating headquarters for the legal
ized gamblers in stocks and bonds in
the western part Of Pennsylvania. AS
the result of recent disclosures in regard
to the manner in which the securities OF
public utilities and Industrial corpora
tions have been manipulated for the
benefit Of the big traders and the pro-
moters solely. the vast army of small
shareholders has become wary and for
/ the time being, until the atmosphere Of
Wall street and its offshoots shall have
become clarified, this class will fight
shy OF investments which have taken on
a more or less questionable character.
When the Ryans and Rockefellers
and the Rogerses learn the lesson
which has been assigned to them when
they become satisfied in their own minds
that the law which declares that a Door
man must be punished for stealing u
trifie necessary to his comfort-pos-
sibly to his life-applies also to the
greater thief who travels more de-
vious path, perhaps, to attain the dis
honest end sought; when an at first
intimidated. then righteously enraged
public strikes one blow after another in
pursuance of the first law of nature,
as 1t has been and Is now doing, the
thieves will be quick to cry, Hold,
enough" Already. thank God, they
are appealing for mercy in the midst
Of their unconscionable and almost un-
paralleled transgressions.
AS to the first disquieting but really
irconsequential news from Nevada. in
volving string of practically private
banks under one control, let 1t be under
stood that this has been anticipated by
the bankers of Los Angeles for some
Lille 1HeS5 NEVADA institutions vera
Of that class which interests itself
largely. if not chiefly, in gambling
operations in mining and other stocks.
That their instability has been recog-
nized by Pacific coast financiers gener-
ally is proven by the fact that for sew
eral days prior to the inevitable crash
the San Francisco banks through
which these Nevada concerns have been
doing their western exchange business
have refused to honor cheques upon any
Of them. The Nevada trouble, 1t Is
easy to see at glance, is purely local.
a gambling bank is just as liable to
go broke" at any moment as is a man
who stakes his all on the turn of a card.
But the banks Of Los Angeles are not
Of this class. They are under the man
agement of men whose prudence, sanity
and sagacity demand no inquiry. TIL.
money OF the Los Angeles depositor is
not risked on the Wall street wheel OF
fortune.

DRANK TOO MUCH
FOR STRONG Man
MILLIONAIRE JOHN BAKERS
WIFE is DIVORCED FOR HABIT
UAL INTEMPERANCE

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 12.-Mil-
liOnaire John Baker, Jr., local mana
ger of the Union Oil Company of Los
Angeles, has been divorced from Maud
J. Baker on the ground Of habitual in-
temperance. Frank Roller, father OF
the defendant was a witness against
his daughter, but the hardened spec
tatOrs of the courtroom turned away
their heads when the aged man, with
tears in his eyes, gave his testimony
yesterday. Judge Seawell stopped the
examination and gave the plaintiff his
decree.
The whole proceedings brought by
Baker have been surrounded with
great secrecy. Baker said he was mar
ried February 2, 1895, and that his wife
was habitually Incorporate.
"She drank more than a strong man
should drink" said Baker, hesitatingly.
Baker said he had taken his wife all
over the country in an attempt to cure
her. and had engaged a specialist.
They went to Panama and Honolulu.
They travelled in the Eastern States
for six to seven weeks, but, the plain
tiff said, his wife got no better. In
February of this year the defendant
went to live with her father, and the
plaintiff became the custodian of his
two children. He said he had lost
two other children some time ago
through ptomaine poisoning.
After Baker had testified Frank
Roller was sworn.
"I have not seen her drink" said
the witness, chOKingly, "but I know
that she does. I have seen the bot
ties In her room"
That was all. The witness was ex-
cused and the decree awarded.
Counsel for the plaintiff announced
that the property rights of the couple
had been settled out of court. It is
understood that Baker has made an
allowance Of $3.50 a month for his
wife, He will have the custody of the
children.

there not something concealed behind
the scheme to raise a war fund of ST.

pretended cause given by Van Cleave
and Endorsed by his capitalist organ

I'VE are neither a prophet nor a

ust, 1910, the organizations of labor,
instead of having been diminished, will
have doubled their strength"
A reason for this open fight by en-
ployers is found by government labor
expert in an increase in the number of
strikes which have as their object the
recognition of the union"
The percentage of strikes concern
ing the recognition of union and union
rule constituted less than nine per cent
of all the strikes between 1881 and
1885, and never reached 20 per cent in
any single year prior to 1896 During
the five year period of 1910 to 1905
they constituted more than one-third
Of all strikes.

ton of apprentices, limitation of out.
put, dictation by the unions, and at
tempt to control legislation. The Van
Cleave association include these in the
nominal objects of histility.
Quite as significant as the organ
ization of the Van Cleave movement
is the recent appearance of other or
CARNATIONS among the employers, such
as the National Founders association
and the National Metal Trades associa-
ton.
The Citizens Industrial Alliance is
still another organization for the an
nounced purpose of resisting unjust
demands of labor"
While these organizations sound big,
and $1,500,OOO seems like a lot OF
money, there is a powerful force back
of the union labor banner.
The A. F. of L. comprises 11S So
called international unions, embrace
ing $1,000 subordinate unions, with 700
independent local and federal unions,
besides $50 central unions and SO state
branches, making a grand total in the
membership of the organization of
nearly 100000 union employees. The
federation has in its war chest the tri-
fling amount of $4,000, which, it is
said, can be increased at any time by a
10 per cent assessment by the mere
vote of the central council, so that it's
defense fund may be counted in the
hundreds of thousands as it may be
needed.
So it is millions against millions, in
terms of dollars, and millions of en-
ployes against the federated and rich
members of the employers associa-
lions.
