Peculiar local conditions, and a
series of events growing out of
them have forced the man who
works with his hands in Los Ange-
les into his first determined fight
for fair wage and chance to live.
He is in his last ditch. He has
come to pass where further CIV
ing of ground means his disorgan-
ization and the consN uent loss of
all means to protect himself against
the tyranny of the man who works
with the dollar.
Back of this condition there are
the railroads, the real estate boom
ers and the past tendency of the
working man himself to let well
enough alone. The glowing accounts
of this southern California country,
with glittering assurances of plenty
of work and good wages, spread
through the east and middle west
by the railroads, draw thousands of
wage earners to Los Angeles each
fall. Official figures show that be-
tween September Is and October 10

in Los Angeles.

JERSEY CITY, N. J.. Oct. zs.--s
Wild rumors that ! number Of per-

rioting that has occurred since the
strike Of the express wagon drivaxn
began. The report -of fatalities ~

but the rumor aroused to = high
pitch the excitement over the
strike.
Rioting began when the Jersey
City offices Of the express compan-
les involved sent out their wagons
with guards seated besides the driv-
ers. Eight wagons were stopped by
the strikers and their sympathixers.
The guards fired over the heads Of
the crowd that had assembled and
the mob returned the fire. No one

lade, but the sound OF the ringing
shots stirred the anger Of the crowd
and there was wild charge ON the
wagons. Drivers and guards were
pulled off the seats, horses nm
hitched and the wagons turned
loose.

but the excited sight seer stuck to
his story. and a search was made
with the result that the entire
crematory department was soon
seeing 'em" also. Yes, it's no
josh. The city crematory is infest-
ed by a tribe of red and white rats
At least that is what Superintend-
ent Harmon of the department was
excitedly declaring around the city
hall this morning. The theory is
advanced that the various varieties
of pet Guinea pigs and white rats
which escaped when a local pet
animal store burned few years
since, have taken to the vicinity of
the crematory.

bartender wasn't hankering for a
scrap right at that present mo-
ment. and quietly advised the loud
moutheh scrap-hunter to go away
before policeman called around.

tie more than half that paid In

man, confronted with the problem
Of how he was to provide bare food

1t was fight or starve. He asked
first for arbitration-for fair court
to weigh his claims, which were not
for recognition of union, but only
ora living wage. When a hearing
was denied him, he showed fight.
He, was in a deplorable condition.
His forces were unorganized, inex-

back against the wall. Hence the
conspiracy.
A strike of the brewery workers
on May 10 last was followed on
June 1 by walkout of 1850 union
men employed in the metal trades.
Both demanded an eight hour day
and nincrease in wages. Neither
asked for recognition.
In both cases the employers met
the strike, not by the usual method
of importing strikebreakers, but by
the simple expedient of filling their

Belief that Detective is Making
Arrangements for Transporta-

QUEBEC, Aug. 5.-The continued absence
from Quebec of Inspector Dew added an
other element of mystery to the Crippen
case today. 1t Is thought that Dew wishes
to escape attention is not of itself sufficient
to account for his trip to Montreal yester-
day and his journey to Toronto and Nj
agara Falls begun last night 1t is sus-
pected that his mission is to arrange with
the railway and steamship officers to get
his prisoners out OF the country with less
publicity than attended their arrival
Nobody but those Immediately con-
cerned" Dew is quoted as saying will
know upon what steamer we will sail, or
when we land on the other side"
There is also interest today in the SEEM

Miss Leneve made during their flight as
to what either should say or not to say in
the event of their arrest. According to
their custodlans neither has been led into
saying a single word about the other.

callers. A church of England clergyman

Theatrical Man
Before Grand Jury
Harry Askins Says it Was Suggested
that Big Lobby Be Sent
to Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Aug. 5.-Before the
sangamon grand jury today Harry Askln,
a theatrical manager of Chicago. told of
his visit to the office OF Speaker Shurtleff
In Chicago in regard to the child labor
bill. He was accompanied. he said. by
Milward Adams a member of the theatrl-
cal managers committee appointed to work
for the passage of the bill.
During their call, MIR. Askin said, 1t was
suggested that the theatrical managers
send big lobby down to Springfield to
urge the passage of the measure permit
ting children on the stage. He also said
1t was suggested by a member. of the
legislature, present at the conference, that
it would cost a great deal to maintain a
lobby in Springfield and that the passage
Of the bill might mean an expenditure Of
perhaps 5000 or $4,000 or even $500.
This was all there is to the matter,
declared Mr.. Askin. No member of the
legislature. he said, made any demand
that money be raised or had offered to
assure the passage of the bill for any
amount of money.
