BUTCHERS HOPE
TO LOWER PRICES
RETAILERS PLAN TRADE I'M
PROVEMENT
PRESENT INSPECTION SYSTEM
INVOLVES OUTLAY
Council VIII Be Requested to Amend
Ordinance So That Consumer
May Buy Meats
Cheaper

The retail butchers of Los Angeles
met at 1864 South Broadway last
night and laid plans for putting the
trade on better paying basis, which,
If successfully carried out, will result
in materially reducing the cost OF meat
to the consumer
After considerable discussion it was
decided that the most pressing need
was for a means of competing WIN
the butchers of the smaller towns in
purchasing what veal the local market
offers.
At present the butchers in Pasadena,
Long Beach and other cities can buy
calves from the farmer and sell to
their customers for from 2 to 3 cents
pound cheaper than the Los Angeles
butcher can, for the reason that the
latter must take his calves to one OF
the big packing houses, have them IN
spected, pay % to so cents head for
having them killed, and have the meat
inspected again, involving an outlay of
time and double inspection fees which
the outside butcher does not incur.
To obviate this unnecessary expense
the chairman was directed to request
the council to so amend the present
meat inspection ordinance that the re-
taller may purchase cattle in the coun-
try, kill them at the point of purchase,
and have the meat inspected at his
market by city inspector.
r. N. Coleman, chairman of the
meeting and one of the best known
retail butchers in the city, said in an
interview to The Herald: ut is not
right that the retailer should be
blamed for the high price of meat.
The average small butcher is not maxi
ing for himself as much wages as he
pays his help. The trade has been
very prosperous during the past ten
years, but the butchers who have been
established that length of time have
been able to tide over the hard times
and high prizes. but those who have
gone into business during the last two
years have, almost without exception,
failed. Considering the scarcity of
beef in this section of the country, no
predictions can be made as to when
prices will be lower"

ASSURES INNER
HARBOR DREDGE
REVIEW BOARD IN FAVOR OF
$390,000 EXPENDITURE
PLANS FOR CHANNEL 200 FEET
WIDE SUBMITTED
Project Which Would Make Available
146 Acres of Municipal Land
Outlined by Secre=
tary Fleming

A report from the engineering board
of review at Washington, favoring the
expenditure of 100000 on the improve
ment of the east and west laterals in
the inner basins of Los Angeles har-
Dor, which had been withheld until
Lieutenant Leeds report upon it's ad
visibility had been received by the
board, was handed to Congressman
McLachlan yesterday afternoon, ac-
cording to a telegram from Washing
ton. This report practically assures
the development of the inner harbor
above the turning point.
If the progect carries in congress a
channel 200 feet wide will be dredged
from the present turning basin in both
the east and west basins of the inner
harbor The Consolidated Lumber
company has dredged a channel half
that width and Is feet deep to the ex-
tremity of the east basin. A notice.
able increase in the commerce that has
been brought to it's wharves in the
past two weeks demonstrates the sue
cess of the venture and the benefit to
the trade and shipping interests at
that point.
In order that the government may
perfect its plans in these basins the
war department probably will order
the Southern Pacific and Pacific Elec-
trio railroad companies to span the
west basin with a draWbridge.
At a conference between A. p. Flem-
ing secretary of the Los Angeles har-
Dor commission. and Lieutenant Leeds
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Fleming sub
mitted a project for the dredging of
channel 80 feet deep in the outer har-
Dor, which would make available las
acres of municipal frontage held by
the city adjacent to the breakwater.
The channel would start at the 30-foot
contour line and extend north and
northwest along the frontage owned by
the city. The outline Of a bill will
be drawn by Secretary Fleming today
and forwarded to Senator Flint to-
night for introduction into congress. in
order that the project may be launched
with a fair show of success. Both
the inner and outer harbor improve
ments will thus be carried forward.
If congress allows the appropriation
of 1890, 1000 1t is thought that new
dredge will be constructed to help
carry on the work.

UNITARIANS CLOSE
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Challenge of Democracy Is Theme of
Speaker at Last Nights Ses-
sion of Successful
Series

The annual conference of the Uni
tartan churches of Southern California,
which opened Monday night, was
brought to a close last evening. Uni
tartan churches of this section were well
represented, and all the sessions were
enlivened by prominent and fluent
speakers of that denomination.
At the closing session last evening
Rev. Francis Watry led the devotional
service. The platform meeting was on
1.-THE Spirit of Modern Democracy"
Reynold e. Blight of the Los Angeles
Fellowship spoke on 1.-THE Challenge of
Democracy to the Individual" He said
in part:
This is the greatest age of history.
We stand at the dawn of a new time.
The turmoil and unrest, revolution and
war that convulse the world are but
the birth pangs of a new era. Never
in the worlds history have the signs
been so encouraging. Never have there
been so many clean, strong, able lead
ers. Never have SO many highminded
men been active in public life. Never
have so many clear prophetic voices
been heard Despotism is trembling
on it's throne. The foundations of spe-
cial privilege are shaking.
How shall we accomplish municipal
reform? BY reforming the electorates,
WHICH InedHS the iilulN1uudl clllAeilS.
So long as merchants look upon the city
treasury as legitimate plunder by
means of inflated prices and duplicate
bills, so long as we send as our repre-
sentatives self-confessed grafters and
corruptionists, so long as we slavishly
follow the dictates of political con-
ventions dominated by designing and
INSCRIPTIONS politicians, so long as we
tolerate the non-enforcement of law
to our personal advantage, so long
will the city government be a reflection
of ourselves, and as the boys say, We
have no kick coming"
church of Los Angeles gave an able
address on The Challenge of Democ-
racy to the Church." which was fol-
lowed by stirring address by Rev. E.
Stanton Hodgin of the First Unitarian
church.

MODIFICATION OF
EXCLUSION OPPOSED
Labor Council Takes Action Contrary
to That Adopted by the
Chamber of COM
merce

The recent action of the Los Angeles
chamber of commere requesting that
the exclusion acts which bar japanese
and Korean laborers from the United
States be modified to admit more OF
these people does not meet the ap-
proval of the Central Labor Council
of Los Angeles and they have for
warded a petition to the local chamber
setting forth their views on the sub
ject.
The Labor Council argues that
should congress act upon the sugges-
ton of the chamber of commerce and
admit Japanese and Koreans in un-
limited numbers it would materially
effect the well being of the laborers
of California and of Los Angeles and
throw many men and women out OF
employment.
They passed the following resolu-
ton Monday evening and sent 1t to the
chamber of commerce, and to mem
bers of congress from the Pacific coast
states:
Whereas, the chamber of commerce,
at a recent meeting of that body, did
pass a resolution petitioning congress
to PRACTICAL lower the bars on Jap
anese and Korean exclusion and there
by lowering the standard of living OF
the American working men and wo-
men: therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Central La
bor Council of the city of Los Angeles
in regular session assembled, and hav-
ing the best interest of the working
men and women at heart, do deprecate
the action of the chamber of commerce
as we do not believe that it is for the
best interest of the community to be
flooded with cheap Asiatic labor; ana
be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the chamber of COM
merce, the members of congress ana
to the daily press of the city.

SALT LAKE RAILROAD
DENIES DISCRIMINATION
Harbor Commissions Complaint Was
Directed Against Southern
Pacific Company

In answer to charges made by the
Los Angeles harbor commission against
the railroads running from San Pedro
to Los Angeles, filed some time ago
with the state railroad commission,
the Salt Lake road denies that it dis
eliminates against the Los Angeles
harbor, or that its freight rates are
unreasonable.
AS the complaint of the harbor COM
mission was directed principally against
the Southern Pacific the reply of the
Salt Lake is simply formality.
The railroad affirms that 1t charges
the same rate per ton as the other
roads do, but states that it is forced
to do this on account of competition.

GLASS WORKS MEN STRIKE.
Disagreement with Employers Over
Summer Work the Cause.
columbia Record, 23d,)

NSOiuutDld 1tccOrQ, Z3Q.
The force of 81 glassblowcrs at
the Carolina Glass Works walked out
ThurSday morning, following the re-
ccipt Of a letter from the president of
the Green Glass Blowers Union, the
organization TO which they belong.
One OF the blowers gave as a rea-
son for the walkout that they under
stood that members OF another union
tho Flint Glass Blowcrs--w would
be given employment at the glass
factory. The two unions have diff
lcr"nt regulations regarding the mat
ter Of working in the summer
months, the Green Glass Blowers
Union prohibiting its members from
working during July, August and
September. The Flint Glass Blowers
have no such agreement, and the
members Of the union to which the
local blowers belong say they held
it would be impossible for members
OF thr two unions to work in the
same factory.
1t is understood that the glass COM
pany had planned to work during
the summer months on account Of
the large number Of orders ahead
and that the Green Glass Blowers
organization could not furnish a
number Of men sufficient TO do the
work.
II. NJ. Brewer, manager of the
glass works, said he knew nothing
officially as to the cause Of the dis
affection OF his men; that he had
not conferred with any committees
from the union and that the men
violated an agreement to work until
June 3Oth.
