WARNING LAUNDRIES
WASH FOR NOTHING

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 1.-Two
weeks work for nothing. This Is
what some of the laundries have
been offering in order to extend
their business, and, according to
their rivals, to crush the smaller
laundries and form trust.
The larger laundries tried to get
the smaller ones to enter an agree
ment to increase prices % per
cent. The small ones refused to
make the advance. Then larger
ones determined to make a cut in
prices.- A discount of so per cent
was offered on all business secured
through hotels and rooming houses
and drivers of the wagons were
instructed to make house to
house canvass, offering to do two
weeks work free in order to get
customers away from the laundries
that refused to come into the trust.
