CINCH OF THE LABOR BOSSES

The assertion, frequently made by
The Herald, that the San Francisco
school row over the Japanese was
merely buncombe, peanut politics, IA
farce, is amply justified by the outcome
of the visit to Washington of the
fiddler mayor and his political school
board. The dispatches tell of an agree
ment quickly reached there, whereby
San Francisco withdraWs every claim
it made for supervision of its schools
and for segregation of japanese in re-
turn for a clause in the immigration
laws debarring Japanese coolies. Inc
entire proposition of the schools is
are to be opened to the Japanese of
every age; the so-called oriental schools
are to be abolished, and the principles
so vigorously declaimed as Indispensable
to San Francisco's welfare are tossed
aside without a murmur,
This is, however, just what was ex-
pected. There never was the slightest
sincerity in the school boards stand.
It was all part of a plot designed by
the corrupt labor bosses of the quake
town to solidify themselves with their
dupes and to "cinch" the labor union
trust which now absolutely controls
San Francisco.
This agitation against the JAPANESE
began a couple of years ago when Il
certain San Francisco newspaper laid
%
historical articles on the influx of Jap
aucse laborers. 1t was sought to incite
another sand lot campaign, but no Denis
Ecuuy appeared to lead it. The full
limitations had their effect however,
land success by the aid of the labor
union aNploiters might have ensued had
not the quake come,
This put "a quietus on the situation
temporarily. Prostrate San Francisco
needed thousands of men to rehabilitate
Ihcr and would have been a poor spec
taclc before "a sympathetic world if she
were attempting to bar any class, creed
or on'or So the agitation lanquished.
tut AS the immediate effects of the
/ quake wore off aud the corrupt union
bosses again began to control, they
|widoned their power tin every line Of

| mance-eNceut the cheap, unskilled
worker largely Japanese.
How to master the Japanese and
make the cinch ronc.a was then the
problem. obviously, with the whole
world cognizant OF fits crying need of
men, San Francisco could not clamor for
their exclusion without some prctext.
The school issue offered one. The

the trap; congress is likely to take the
same bait; the Japanese will be barred,
and the grafters' grip on San Francisco
by means of the labor trust will be
absolute. while the sympathetic couu-
try at large is bunkoed N fine style.
California in general doesn't want the
japanese laborers barred. The country
districts need them, especially in har-
vest time. The railroads need them for
vast construction work now under way.
The trolley companies have projects
right here that will require thousands
The irrigation works planned can en-
ploy many more. And even in San
Francisco there are square miles or
burned over lands not yet cleared of
brick and steel debris on which they
could be employed to great advantage.
But the San Francisco labor bosses say
'no'-and the entire United states gov
ernment is fooled and cajoled into
making the cinch of the labor trust
that much more absolute In the stricken
city by ruse, trick, bunko game.

Since the procedure, the charges. and

Sanhedrin to be executed and the tri-

THE SUBURBANITE

Behold the gay suburbanite,
Who tramps the muddy road,
Ne whistles, and his heart Is light,
Though heavy be his load.
The beacon window glow he spies
Through snow and rain and sleet
He wipes the moisture from his eyes,
And then he wipes his feet
Inside the house he finds it dryer,
But cold, He takes look,
The cook has failed to make the fire.
And so he fires the cook.
The larders empty. All the shops
Within the neighborhood
Are closed. He thinks he'd like some
chops.
And 80 he chops some wood.
His exercise is quite a strain,
With dumbells and with hatchet
For he who runs to catch a train
Must train to run and catch It,
No breakfast his. With might and main
He runs. Time will not wait

JEWS AND THE CRUCIFIxION

his son-in-hw, Caiaphas, were the
prosecutors, is an additional proof that
the mass OF the people were not against
Jesus. Every tyro in Jewish history
knows OF the hatred the Jews bore this
family for its Herodian sympathy.
Calaphas specially was looked upon as
the hireling and spy of Rome. The
rabbis say the whole family were
wicked and corrupt" (Tal. Bav. Yoma,
Ga, Jer., Paoh, 6. ~. Calaphas acted
not as a representative of the Jews and
in their behalf, but In his own interest
and as a representative of Rome He
had q personal grudge against Jesus
for driving out the money-changers
from the temple court. II was Caiaphas
who first allowed these money-changers
to do business in the temple court for
a certain sum of money each merchant
paid him. He was therefore very much
inccnsed and offended at the action of
Jesus. He could do nothing against him
openly "for the fear Of the people" He
therefore had to work stealthily at
night.
He also acted as the representative
of Rome, for he was more of n Roman
than q Jew more of n spy than n high
priest. Besides, 1t was for his interest
that the Roman rule was not disturbed
For not only was he held responsible
for every outbreak or riot but he knew
only too well the hatred of the Jews
toward him and his father-in-law. Well
did he know that he would have to
leave Jerusalem. together with his pro-
tectors. the Romans, had the Jews sue
cceded I'm the overthrow of Rome. He
acted, therefore, against Jesus, not In
the interest of the Jews. whose hatred
he knew. but for his own beneft. and
for that of his protectors, the Herodi-
ans and the Romans.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Feb. g.
Dr. Alonzo Tubbs, representative from
Gasconade county, appeared before
the senate committee on criminal juris.
prudence tonight to argue the merits of
his pet measure, the anti-tipping bill.
The measure would work more hard
ships on the negro race than all of
the "chitling" clubs and crap" games
in existence, according to George
Washington Culp, a tray carrier at the
Madison house, who acted as spokes
man for a coterie of tip receivers who
appeared before the committee against
the bill, but it won't pass, for the
committee will report it unfavorably.
DIR. Tubbs opened up with a vehement
denunciation OF what he termed the
"nefarious system of making paupers
out of American gentlemen-tipping
Not only does it degrade American
manhood, but it makes a citizen pay
two prices for everything he gets"
said the doctor. I've had personal
experience. 1t was only a short time
ago that l actually ordred a bowl of
oyster soup in a restaurant, and after
wearing out the spoon l failed to dis
cover bivalve. l was mad. Next
to me sat big fat fellow with
dime beside his plate and there were
oysters enough in his soup TO stuff
turkey. l, raised a lot of noise and
all 1 got was a song from the waiter
about not doing nuthin' for nobody for
nuthin. That's not all, gentlemen.
l can go in and order roast beef and
keep my hands in my pocket. At the
same table there will be a man Jug
Cling a quarter; he gets a whole roast
while I'm lucky if 1 land any of the
gravy. It's a nefarious system, and
I've been sore"
George Washington culp's Plea
DIR. Tubbs made an impressive
speech, but he was a 10 to l shot when
George Washington Culp finished.
George Washington wasn't there to
talk against a Jim Grow" bill; it was
bread and butter and fat pork chops
that caused him to take exceptions to
the measure, he said Culp is a short,
black negro with a little, brownb black
head almost entirely devoid of hair.
He is a real specimen of the southern
negro-the kind the southern people
call "nigger," but never abuse. He
grinned as he told the committee that
he had as a bellboy received tips from
President Grant and not so very long
ago, in Texas, Alexander Dowie had
given him a tip of 1.-TWO dollahs."
I'VE has to have tips" he said. THE

George was given a cheer and as he

SEQUEL TO RAILWAY INQUIRY


Following closely after the investi-
cation made in Los Angeles by the
Interstate commerce commission we
have this statement from Washington:
criminal prosecution of Edward II.
Hartman. president Of the Union Pa
cihc and Southern Pacific railroads,
for violation Of the interstate commerce
law in securing control Of parallel lines
between San Francisco and New York
WILL I'm all probability, be brought by
the government"
The developments made by the COM
mission related to transcontinental
traffic generally, between the Pacific
coast states and the east, but they
had more special reference to Los An
geles than to san Francisco. This be-
cause there are only two railway COM
panes involved at San Francisco,
while there are three in this city. The
culpabiity of the companies in their
combination in restraint Of trade is
one-third more fragrant at the Los
Angeles point Of convergence than 1t
ia at San Francisco.
The facts necessary as a basis of
procedure by the government were
clearly brought out during the recent
sitting Of Commissioner Lane in this
city. the case as presented on behalf
of the government conclusively estab-
lished the mutual relations of the three
companies and also the advantage
taken by the consequent monopoly to
"hold up shippers, particularly those
IN the citrus fruit industry.
Although the facts ELECTED here seem
quite sufficient for the governments
purpose it is known that the case
would have been strengthened still
further but for the sudden adjourn
ment OF the inquiry resulting from the
serious illness Of Commissioner Lanes
Wife
If the investigation had been COM
pleted additional testimony would have
been adduced showing, particularly
the merciless manner in which the
railway combine has squeezed the
orange producers. 1t would have APP
peared still more convincingly that the
rule of betterment by what should be
competition has been reversed in this
instance and that shippers are really
more at the mercy of the trple-headed
monopoly than they were when dealing
with the single-headed one.
And with the experience of the last
quarter century in mind there is no
hope for shippers in the future, under
present conditions. The citrus fruit
growers and other shippers hailed the
coming of the Santa Fe railway as
a godsend, assuming that railway COM
petition, resulting in more reasonable
traffic rates, would f. Cllow. And what
was the result? A pooling of business
between the old line and the newcomer
and the adoption by the latter of the
old ones standard maxim, Charge all
the traffic will bear"
There was rejoicing again when
Croesus Clark undertook the Salt Lake
railway project The promise was Civ
en- by Clark that he would operate his
line with regard for prbic interests,
and his great wealth justified the hope
which his promise inspired. 1t is up-
necessary to restate what happened.
The recent investigation here showed
that the Salt Lake railway is as SUBJ
stantial part of Harriman's monop-
oily as the tail is part of the anatomy
of a dog.

The proposition to reduce the police
force in order ito get more money for
other purposes is simply absurd.
Whatever happens Los Angeles must
be properly policed. Recently the city
did the proper thing by augmentlng
the force, but before the raw recruits
are fairly whipped into usefulness
certain officials are seekini: to have
them discharged The proposition
should find no encouragement. II Los
Angeles cannot maintain an efficient
police force. how is 1t going to main
tain anything else?
