CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
THE LABOR PROBLEM

VT DIRK at the county hospital has
w been provided for sixty men and
six or eight teams. The men
had been out of employment many
weeks, and in many instances were
destitute and hungry. The horses, even
if they had not been at work regular
ly, were well fed. Merely pausing to re-
fleet for a minute on our curious mod
ern conditions, which make it certain
that, head for head, the animals of the
United States are better cared for than
the people of the United States, let
us commend the public spirit which
has moved officials to stretch point
in conservatism and make work for
idle men, We insist that an action OF
this kind, while it does not suggest a
panacea for distress, is a remedy. and
should be applied to its full extent.
Economics is part of the business OF
government, and why American gov
ernments should be so hidebound that
they stop short at economics concerned
with labor and wages is not easy to un-
derstand. New Zealand not only makes
a practice of supplying habitual en-
ployment for all her extra men," but
has for long time. conducted govern
ment employment bureaus or clearing
houses for labor. skilled or unskilled.
There is never surplus in public
treasury in New Zealand and there is
never enough cash on hand to tempt
Iooter. Professional politicians do not
flourish under the stars and cross.
(This is written on the presumption
that readers of. The Herald know that
New Zealand has paid the United
States the compliment of adopting a
flag that in some measure initiates the
stars of glory.')
Our social fabric will not be dis
turbed by the radicalism of the step
that has provided work for unemployed
in Los Angeles. The time is coming
when government will realize that
1t is its duty to keep money in circu-
lation among all classes of the COM
munity. How preposterous and ridicu-
1ous it is that great manufacturing
concerns in the east should have dis
thdi ecu SilpiOySS Wy thV lhouSoiAu uuA
ing the Republican hard times in or
der that surplus should not be wiped
out. that expenses should not interfere
with profits! 1t is heart sickening to
talk about it. We may reform drunk
ards and convert criminals. but how on
earth are we to teach the amazingly
richest men in the United States to be
patriotic and to believe in the great
est happiness for the greatest number
and Christian enough to believe that
unto whom much is given, from them
much shall be requlred--either now oil
at the day OF judgment? The date Of
the payment of this debt is left to the
free will of the debtors.

improve the west basin, and would
mean such improvement of the east
basin as would perpetuate the Southern
Pacific's future control of all the inner
harbor.
Just why Senator Flint found it nee
essary to include in his resolution the
provision that whenever requested by
a majority of the owners of land abut-
ting on and underlying the waters OF
the east basin of the inner harbor OF
San Pedro" ETC., it is impossible tc
see, in view of the fact that no such
language has ever been used hereto
fore in any legislation authorizing the
government to locate the harbor lines
of that portion of the inner harbor
whose lines have already been located.
1t is further a known fact that the
area occupied by the bulxhead and
pierhead lines and by a considerable
portion of the waters of that part OF
the inner harbor already located and
improved by the government were
claimed under tide-land titles very
similar to those which the Bannings
set up in the lands abutting on and
/ underlying the east and west basins.
No attention was paid to these
claims when the government got ready
! to locate and improve the present innel
harbor and locate that portion of the
inner harbor lying between Dead Mans
island and the turning basin.
Why then should such solicitude be
shown for the claimants to the land
AUDITING upon and underlying the east
and west basins that without their
| consent this great public work is not
even permitted to be planned by the
government. much less carried on?
1t begins to look as If the people of
Los Angeles were going to have to
make the free harbor fight over again,
and in view of this contingency it be-
comes subject of anxious inquiry
whether or not Senator Flint is more
anxious to serve the people of this city
or the influence to which many people
have accredited his election. The Her.
aid admits that it is deeply disap-
pointed at Senator Flint's action. II
trusts that it may be ascertained that
the Objectionable language in the joint
resolution, above quoted, was incor-
porated in it without due deliberation
and will be changed at once, and the
resolution urged to an early passage
with that eliminated.
| If this course is not pursued. then II
will not be difficult for The Herald
and the citizens of Los Angeles to To-
cate the influences which are appar-
emily striving through the medium OF
this joint resolution to establish and
perpetuate the control of the South
ern Pacific over the harbor of Los
Angeles.
In the meanwhile it behooves the
people of Los Angeles to be stirring
in the matter and to take every means
of arousing their representatives ir
both houses of congress to a realiza'
! ton of the sentiment of the com.
munity.

The statement of John O'Brien, for

Americans, Scotch and Irish is piper's
news to those who had accurate in
formation from the front during the
Russian-Oriental war. At the very first
thoughts of hostilities, experts were at
a premium, and the cannie Japs began
to sign on extras at the leading sea-
ports, Glasgow, Liverpool and New
York. Men of the three nationalities
mentioned are incorrigible free lances.
Moreover, they are tempted to take
service under foreign flags by the high
wages offered. Archibald Forbes, the
great war correspondent, said that
there were Americans and scotsmen
on both sides in the Russo-Turkish
war. With another war between Rus
STA and Turkey in sight, it is probable
that the free 1ances released from en-
gagement by the close of the late
Oriental war will soon be in demand.
