REFEREE TO SETTLE
CAR CONTROVERSY
TRANSPORTATION CASE SET
FOR JULY 9
Attorney Frank G. Flnlayson, Repre-
senting Interstate Commerce Conn.,
mission, Will Hear Argu-
ments on Both Sides

July is the date set for the trial
before Attorney Frank G. Finlayson,
representing the interstate commerce
commission, of the charges brought by
the California Fruit Growers associa-
ton against the Southern Pacific COM
pany.
This agreement was reached after
Attorney Chapman, representing the
fruit growers, had stated that he
would be unable to appear for his
clients before that time.
When the factions met in room of
the federal building, where the inves-
tigation is to be made, it was evident
that the two great fruit factions of
California were at war over their old
argument, the distribution of freight
cars.
The California Fruit Growers asso-
citation filed charges against the rail-
way some weeks ago and Attorney
Finlayson was selected to represent
the commerce commission and hear
the complaints.
The complaint of the association was
that the Southern Pacific company by
a new rule regarding the distribution
of freight cars had placed them in a
most disagreeable condition and that
unless the rule was changed they
would be greatly damaged.
New Rule Adopted
The rule which provoked the strug-
gle regulated the distribution of
freight cars to the fruit packing
houses. By the new rule the cars were
to be issued to the packing houses only
according to the amount of fruit at
that time in the warehouses. In other
words, the old-time system of issuing
freight cars sufficient to cover the
crop as 1t hung on the trees was done
away with and accommodation for
only so much fruit as had already been
picked and pacEed was made.
The Southern Pacific representatives
have intimated that the company
adopted the new rule because the
Citrus union threatened to take the
case before the interstate commerce
commission unless change was made
and that no offense was intended. So
that the two great fruit growers as
sociations will play battledore and
shuttlecock with the Southern Pacific
company, with Attorney Finlayson as
referee in the great game, which will
mean thousands of dollars advantage
to one side or the other.

COMPROMISE ON
BROUGHTON ACT
COUNCIL TO NAME TWO OF
FREDERICKS' AIDS
Harmony Agreeable to City Attorney
Hewitt, and Test Case Over
Prosecutors Will Now
Be Dropped

Under a compromise arrangement
with District Attorney Fredericks yes
terday morning at a conference with the
councils committee of the whole, the
city will accept the Broughton act pro-
visions and forego court test.
The committee named Councilmen
Wallace, Wren and Blanchard and
President Pease to talk matters over
with Captain Fredericks, and the ap-
pcintment of the two deputies who Will
prosecute for the city all violations OF
ordinances in the police courts Will De
decided on by these five men.
The next step will be to squelcn an
ordinance providing for the, appoint
ment of two deputies by City Attorney
Hewitt, who were to have looked atter
this police court litigation. Nothing
can be done till this ordinance is put
out of the way.
Capt. Fredericks' willingness to name
two men agreeable to the city council
brought about the happy solution or
the difficulty He still retains the ap-
pointment of two other deputies, as
four prosecutors are contemplated I'M
der the Broughton act.
The council cannot force City Attor-
new Hewitt to accept the two men
whom the conference committee Will
agree on. but Mr.. Hewitt has stated
that he is willing, to abide by the coun-

LAW FROWNS ON
OLD PRACTICES
NEW GEQUISITI0N ORDINANCE
is READY
City Employees Who Buy Goods In ADJ
vance of Authority Will Commit
Misdemeanor If ordi=
nance Passes

The long-promised ordinance making
the purchase of city supplies by clty
employe without legal authority ana III
the name of the municipality a misde-
meanor will go to the city council on
Monday.
This is the new law which City Attor-
ney Hewitt and City Auditor Mushet
hope will stop the irregular purchase OF
supplies which practice and complaints
growing out of it has been their bug
bear since the first of the year.
1t is thought it will effectually Danish
the custom of buying goods in advance
and issuing acquisitions in advance,
which has been the bane of the aud
itors office and the councils supply
committee.
Manner of obtaining of supplies is
stipulated in the charter. First on re-
quest of the department which needs
anything the council authorizes the pur-
chase of under $500 and authorizes q
proper advertisement for bids If over
that sum. Then the demand is made
out for presentation finally to the city
treasurer. In the past administration
the plan has been to buy first and seek
the approval of the council afterward.
Thousands of dollars in unpaid bills
are now held up in the supply commit
tees files because of this irregularity
Where the city has used the goods and
where no return of them is possible the
city attorney has ruled that the bills
must be paid if the cost is reasonable.
Auditor Mushet looks for passage of
the ordinance on Monday, but some
councilmen may think it's provisions too
drastic and reference to a committee
would not be a surprise to some persons
in the city hall.

like the pain, and swore at the at
