COUNCILMEN CLASH
OVER WORKING HOURS
DR0MGOLD AND HEALY WARM
IN DISCUSSION
Demand of Quarantine Guards Tor
Shorter Days Produces oppo-
sition from Representa-
tive of First Ward

Councilman Dromgold has announced
that he is not a candidate for re-elec-
ton, and this fact will deprive several
men in Los Angeles of the pleasure of
voting against him. These are the
quarantine guards, who are employed
bv the health department, the greatest
hotbed of politics in the city govern
ment
A petition had been presented to the
board of health, signed by the quaran-
tine guards. asking that their hours OF
work be reduced from twelve to eight.
The change was recommended by the
board of health and the council asked
to pass the necessary ordnance.
When it was brought up yesterday
nv Minute Clerk Wilde, Dromgold OPP
posed it vigorously.
"An eight-hour day may be all right
for a man who has to work, but these
guards do not have to work, said MI.
Dromgold "They simply walk around
and look wise, and any man can do that
twelve hours a day without hurting
himself"
Councilman Healy. who rejoices in
the title of friend of the working
man." called Mr.. Dromgold's attention
to the fact that state law hXes the
day for all employees on public works
at eight hours.
"The state law has nothing to do with
this case" said Mr.. Dromgoid with
some heat, land l don't believe you
dare stand up and advocate this meas
ure."
Well I do dare" replied Mr. Healy,
with even more heat than Dromgoid
had displayed, land I demand that TINS
be sent to the city attorney for an
opinion"
Dromgold had no objection to such
a reference and the city attorney Will
he asked to pass on the matter.

PAWNBR0KERS PUT UNDER
POLICE BOARDS CONTROL
Must Secure Permits from Commits
sion, and Hours of Business
Limited by Ordinance

After many rebuffs during previous
years the police department has got
the ordinance it has demanded con-
trolling pawnbrokers.
The ordinance was passed by the
council yesterday and will be effective
in thirty days. 1t provides that pawn
brokers and dealers in second hand
goods must secure permits from the
police to do business. 1t also pro-
vides that after midnight Saturday
until o'clock Monday morning no
goods can be accepted as pledges and
on all other days no pledges may be
made between o'clock in the evening
and the same hour the following morn
ing.
This ordinance is deemed necessary
by the police to control such estab-
lishments as act as fences for thieves.
If a thief has to wait until 7 o'clock
in the morning before disposing of his
goods the police have a much better
opportunity to recover stolen articles.
1t also gives the police commission
an opportunity to revoke a license
when a pawnbroker's establishment
has been found unworthy of such a
privilege.

City Hall Notes

The council yesterday transferred
$3.50 from the general expense fund to
be used in paying for conduits for cleo
trio wires in the city's portion of the
party wall of the Hill street tunnel.
By resolution passed by the council
yesterday the board of public works
was authorized to advertise for bids for
the Buena Vista viaduct, the total cost
of which will probably be in the neigh
borhood of $350,000.
The board of public works had au-
thority, granted by the council yester-
day, to give permits for any kind of
decorations for the Elks' carnival
which it may approve. This is, in eff
feet. authority to disregard some of the
specifications of the building ordinance,
but all officials believe no great harm
will be done, and the city will be beau
tilted

FRUIT DEALERS
ASK MORE TIME
ALLEGED VIOLAT0RS OF FOOD
LAW IN COURT
AUTHOR OF STATUTE ATTENDS
LEGAL SESSION
Defendants Cautioned That Goods Ex-
posed for Sale in Stores Must
Have Proper Sani-
tary Covering

Nineteen alleged violators of the
pure food laws, charged with exposing
for sale fruit that did not have the
proper sanitary covering, were ar
raigned before Police Justice Cham
bers yesterday. They requested furth-
er time in which to plead and the date
was set for next Thursday afternoon
at o'clock.
Senator Mccartney, who framed and
| fathered the pure food bill, was IN
! court to prosecute the charges. Be
! fore the cases were called he requested
that in nine of them a continuance of
one week be granted. He stated that
! these men were members of the Los
! Angeles Produce exchange and that
! he personally visited their places yes
terday morning and explained to them
the requirements of the law, which
they had not fully understood. AS a
result of his visit it is understood that
these nine will enter pleas of guilty
through their attorney, Oscar Miller.
Demands Trial by Jury
Joseph Pitino was the first defendant
called and he pleaded not guilty and
demanded a jury trial. Later, when
the names of the others were called
and they requested further time IN
which to plead, Pitino retracted his
plea and his case will be heard with
| the others next Thursday afternoon.
After all the defendants had request
ed further time, Senator Mccartney
addressed them and in unmistakable
language declared that the laws would
| be enforced. He said:
! 1--WE have sent deputies among the
fruit dealers and given them fair
warning of the law. We have taken
the trouble to explain the requirements
so that any violation of the laws is
not excusable 1 want to further inl-
press upon the defendants that any
report of continued violation will be
regarded as a new offense. 1t is not the
intention to harrass the business men
of Los Angeles or to take up their time
in court. but this law is on the statute
books and will be enforced
