industry that promises much for
Southern California. The company has
a large tract of land near Victorville
in San Bernardino county and is now
building a 3000-barrel plant. The

markets soon after the first of the
year.

at Victorville. He said 1t equals any
he has ever seen in this country.

rill, ]. c. Meacham and f. H. De Bank.

NOT REDUCE WAGES

Continue Intact, Though curtall-

Contemplated

WASHINGTON, June 25.-It Is un-
derstood here that the Southern Rail-

wages of it's employees in the operat-

plated.
Last March the company announced
it's intention of reducing wages at that
time and numerous conferences were
held between the officials and repre-
sentatives of the employees the re-
suit of which was to defer action until
July 1.

mediarles at those conferences.
1t was agreed at that time that If
business conditions had not improved
at the end of three months new wage
scale would be taken up for consider
alton. Several conferences between the
same parties have been held within the
past few days and as a result the pro-
bationary period has been extended
for three months.

is reviving and at the end of the three
months the Southern will not find it
necessary to make any wage reduc-
tionS.

the Proposition May Be
Fought by Voters

Special to The Herald

signers have been secured to a petition
circulated by A. S. c. Forbes, asking
the highway commission and board of
supervisors to include the Calabasas
road, which runs to Ventura, in their
county good roads proposals.
A committee has been appointed by
the Ocean Park city trustees to CO.
operate with representatives of cities
of the sixth class throughout the
county to impress upon the highway
commissioners that such cities must
have a fair show" Mr.. Forbes, City
Engineer Steele and DIR. J. M. White
are the committee. According to Mr..
Forbes who has been in conference
with dissatisfied or disappointed ele-
ments throughout the county. the en-
tire project when the question of q
$4,000, 900 bond issue is submitted to
the voters, may be defeated thsough
concerted action by the cities of the

grows out of Mr.. Forbes presentation
of the case. He says the highway
commission has mapped out fraction
under two miles of good road for Ocean
Park, yet this municipality would have
to pay $4,000 as its share of the cost.
The petition in favor Of having the
