PASADENA. June 3.-Disagreement
among the BARRIERS of Pasadena is
threatening just at present to result in
a resumption of the "open shop" policy
that prevailed before the days of the
union.
agreed among themselves to close their
places of business at o'clock every
evening except on Saturdays and to
close all day Sunday. This rule has
been strictly adhered to until recently,
when the proprietor of a shop on North
Fair Oaks avenue, who has been in
business here since last fall only, posted
II notice that his shop would remain
open until o'clock each evening.
He was induced to remove this sign,
but later, about two weeks ago. he is
said to have begun to keep open in the
evening, and the result has been spirited
opposition on the part of the other
BARRIERS. To complicate the situation a
shop on South Fair Oaks avenue has
followed suit.
BARRIERS who rhire number of men
are now threatening to keep later hours
If the others do not return to the old
rule within two weeks. 1t was said to-
day that they would run an hour or
two longer than the other fellows under
any circumstances, and would, IL neces-
sary, remain open Sunday in order to
bring about a complete return to tho
old rule.
1t is now reported that a general
meeting of the proprietors of all the
shops may be held.

PASADENA, June 3.--Those who are
advocating an ordinance to prohibit all
minors from entering a Pasadena pool
or billiard hall under any circumstances
are aroused over the reported discuss
sion of the subject in the city council,
where doubt was expressed as to the
use of such an ordinance in Pasadena,
where liquor is not served or sold.
One who is a prominent member OF
the committee of the Federation of
Mems clubs, which presented the re-
quest for the law to the council said
today that it is not fact that liquor
is not sold in the pool rooms of Pasa-
dena.
"A prominent politician of this city,"
he said, "who frequents a certain bill
lard hall, told me only a short time
ago that his boys have been done great
injury because they have been allowed
to pass much of their time in such
places. He said that they had lost
their interest in school work and had
now practically broken off their educa-
ton, half done. because of the influence
of the pool rooms. He said, moreover,
that liquor was sold in at least one Of
the pool rooms, contrary to the or
dinance. We will not allow this or
dinance to go by default for any reason,
but will be on hand when 1t comes up
to urge it's passage"
The present city ordinance on this
question allows boys over Is years of
age to frequent pool rooms.

that the branch to connect with the

Herald correspondent today, that some
Of the city property that was reported
stolen has been made use of, presum-
ably for the city's benefit. by the City
Water company, A good deal has been
said about the loss OF 800 feet of four
inch water pipe, fifteen fire plugs and
a quantity of lead and oakum. The
total value of the stuff supposed to
have been stolen was put az about
$1,000.
The water company was expected
by the new set OF city officials to be
required to furnish all fire plugs, for
which the city was to pay rental OF
rs cents a month each. Rabineau did
not know, and does not know yet. that
the city was to supply the plugs. The
water company appears to think 1t
was justified in using the city's prop
erty, and a search is now being made
of the innumerable dead letter ordin-
ances, with which the city clerk s
pigeonholes are stuffed. In the hope of
finding out whether the water COM
pany had a right to appropriate the
city's goods and did so In good faith,
or whether 1t is amenable to law for
what it did. The matter probably will
be settled amicably in any case.
1t is a coincidence that the Rabineau
discovery comes right on top of the
receipt by the trustees of letter from
the water company in which reflection
is made upon the honesty Of many
Ocean Park property owners. Super
intendent w. c. Koontz of the water
company says in this communication
that it has "relied upon the honesty
of its patrons to say whether property
was vacant or occupied" so that the
company might charge for water used
by tenants, but, he remarks, "in many

customers report their houses vacant,
