War Is On

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH. June 1.-The Nelson
Navigation company today continued
its effort to drive the individual launch
owners to the wall and put them out
of business by selling tickets for trips
to Catalina for 90 cents About thirty
passengers made the trip. The receipts
are thought to be barely enough to pay
the actual expenses of the trip.
The Virginia, which was to have
made. a trip to the island this morning
at 81 per ticket, did not leave her
moorings, the word having been passed
around that the Nelson people would
charge only half that amount.
There are all kinds of speculations
as to how long the Nelson company
will continue to butcher rates and re-
duce the incomes of the other craft.
The independent launch owners assert
that yesterday, when the Nelson COM
pany charged only 10 cents for trips
to the warships. the days receipts of
the 25-cent-rate men were found to be
larger.

OCEAN PARK, June 1.-There is a
financial difficulty confronting the
Gregory Italian band, which was en-
gagged to play afternoons and evenings
at the Horseshoe pavilion during the
season. 1t is a good band and thou
sands of beach visitors have congre-
gated out of doors to hear the music.
But Mr.. Gregory cannot raise enough
money to keep his musicians in happy
frame of mind. A certain amount was
guaranteed him by the Horseshoe peo-
ple. and this has been paid, but the
amount that ii was represented to him
he could raise by subscription has not
been forthcoming, at least not so that he
could notice it. The bapdsmen now
want more money. The leader has de-
cided to play for the remainder of the
week, and then, if the expected sub
scribers do not come through with
enough to guarantee the laborer his
hire, the band will quit and leave the
strand musicless.
