IN HE first annual convention of the
California Women's State Label
II league closed a two days session
at the new Labor temple with ban
ouet last night. Most of the organiza-
ton work of union label leagues in this
state has been conducted south of the
Tehachapi, and the representation was
mainly from Southern California, San
Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and
Pasadena being especially well repre-
sented.
The visiting women have been enter
tanned by members of the Los Angeles
league while at the convention, as
sisted by committee from the Pasa-
dena league. Lunches were served at
the Temple during both days of the
convention to facilitate the transaction
of business The joint entertainment
committee also prepared the banquet
last night.
Business at the convention in great
part consisted of the adoption of plans
for more general extension of the league
through the organization of local bod
les Mrs. D. G. Hanna of Los Angeles,
organizer for California, will be assisted
by the state officers and local leagues
In this work, and an active campaign
has been mapped out by which the
league expects to see delegates from
every section of the state at the 1903
convention.
Oficers elected to serve until next
September are Mrs. Jennie M. Williams
of San Diego, president; Mrs. Leona
Banta of Riverside, first vice president;
Mrs. Mary Stratton of San Diego, sec
ond vice president; Mrs. A. t. Goshorn
of Los Angeles, secretary and treasurer;
Mrs. Helen Firma of Pasadena, par
Humanitarian. Next years convention
will be held at San Diego In the third
week in September.
Discuss Labor Laws
Considerable attention was given to
discussion of laws, particularly those
affecting labor, and, next to this, prison
reform received the most consideration
Mrs Agnes Downing and Mrs. Philale-
tina Nicholson of Los Angeles made adj
dresses on prison labor and prison re-
form. The chain gang system which
now exists in Los Angeles was severely
condemned by the convention. A reso-
luton was passed against existing va
grancy laws.
Politics was another question freely
discussed by the delegates, but behind
closed doors. A majority of the dele
gates expressed themselves as in favor
of labor party, and a. resolution put
ing the league on record as for a dis
tinctive labor party in California was
finally passed. A set OF fifteen reSolu-
lions was adopted, most of them relat-
ing to the work of the organization in
behalf of union made goods and against
sweatshop and cheap labor products.
The local entertainment committee
consisted of Mines. William Hahn,
Stanley B. Wilson and William Wanna,
and Mines. Minnie Clemens and o. B.
Fitch for the Pasadena local. A fea-
ture of the entertainment was the din
ner rendered the visitors by Mrs. w. A.
Engle at her home in Glendale.

been sold. and $4,000 of these have
been paid for in full. In addition to
the income from this source $4,000 has
been collected in rentals entirely in the
new temple, and $1,000 has been paid in
royalties and benefits. Almost all of
the rentals received have come from
rooms not originally in the plans as
profit-making. 1t is estimated that the
rental income after completion of the
building will be $4,000 year.
The building has seven stories, 80 by
125 feet, and the lot 20 feet wide adj
joining, which is owned by the Temple
association, is valued at within $500
of the price paid for the entire site.

MERCHANT PREDICTS
BIG FALL BUSINESS

1t Is rather an encouraging sign of
the times to hear any representative
merchant speak enthusiastically of the
business outlook. G. H. Baker, one of
the largest exclusive retail shoe deal
ers on the Pacific coast, has just con-
cluded a two months clearance sale at
his Los Angeles stores and reports
business as the best in his experience.
He has made elaborate preparations
for a big fall trade, which he conf
IDENTIFY predicts the city is sure to en-
joy
Although he owns shoe stores in San
Francisco and Portland, Mr.. Baker
makes Los Angeles his headquarters.
With his family he occupies preten-
tious home recently built by him on
his large tract In Sierra Madre.

transferred to the abandoned barracks

to the vigorous protest Of the Florida

manded by direction Of the president.
The only explanation ever made for
the virtual Punishment of Stewart is
that he is ''temperamentally imposst-
BILE" as a commander of soldiers.

partisan controversies inevitable in a
government through parties, but while
there might be temper shown at times
on either side there were integrity, fidel-

these contests was that they did not

Prosperity Association Booming.
The LET us alonew slogan sounded
by Yoakum and other speakers at the
meeting of the st. Louis Traffic club
promptly caught ON with business bod
les in all parts of the country and re-
suited in the formation of the National
Prosperity association at st. Louis. Its
platform, as adopted by the executive
committee Of the Business Mems
league of that city, includes the fol
lowing purposes:
ITO keep the dinner pail full.
'"To keep the pay car going.
ITO keep the factory busy.
ITO keep the workmen employed.
ITO keep the present wages up"
The association is to wage war
against what it regards as destructive
agitation and pessimism all over the
country. In addition to the cry Of "Let
us alone!' it will use this appeal, 'Let
US have rest, sunshine and more or
less silence"

Danger In Wave of Socialism.
Addressing the faculty and student
body of Cornell university. Mayor Nc
Clellan Of New York spoke of political
tendencies and referred to "the great
wave of social unrest sweeping around
movement Of lawlessness and an
archy." The men who sincerely help
the cause of socialism constituted, in
his opinion, "the real menace to the
world today" After telling of the re-
cent great progress of socialism in Eu-
rope he said that its spread in this
country with the doctrine of paternal-
ism is zone Of the most astounding
phenomena of modern times" and that
"the popular faith in the power of the
government to right all wrongs is al
most pathetic in its simplicity and
would be rather admirable If it were
not so utterly futile" The practice in
recent years of clothing special COM
missions with almost dictatorial pow
ers he said might prove to be uncon-
stitutional. He expressed the fear that
the peacefully inclined Socialists would
be carried away by their violent COM
rades when the crisis came and the
bomb substituted for the ballot.

New Light on Pneumonia.
Before the Chicago Medical associa-
ton DR.. 81. NJ. Fish has submitted a
new method of treating pneumonia,
which he says effects sure cure inside
twenty-four hours. He asserted that
the seat of the trouble in pneumonia
cases is not in the lungs, as generally
supposed, but in the bony framework
at the top Of the nose. The germ or
pneumococcus is harmless except when
pent up in cell Of this kind. Then it
acts like an explosive, expands and
poisons the blood. From these cells
the disease works rapidly down to the
lungs, but the fuel still comes from the
germ cells in the nose. So says DR..
Fish, and he adds that the remedy is
simply to draw the pus from the nose
cells. By doing so he has cured one of
the worst cases of pneumonia.
