Libby of the united brotherhood of car
penters and joiners has given out the
| following statement on behalf of the
| carpenters:
We took this action at the earnest solicita
tion OF the citizens committee. who represented
to us that 1t the only peacesble way cut

the carpenters and the contractors but the com
munity. We were naturally disposed TO main

| ing Sunday in Los Angeles whether the
| union labor people will join with the
| prohibitionists and vote that town dry.
! This will certainly be done if the State
Brewers association does not recede
/ from its position in the Los Angeles
strike. Local option petitions have al
ready been printed and the laborites
will begin Monday morning to circu-
late them if the state brewers continue
in their present attitude. Men in con-
| troll in the labor movement in Los An
| geles say that the thousands of social
| lists, the church federation and the
| Young Mems Christian association will
make a common fight with the labor
| forces to win local option to the city.
The only conditions upon which this
move can be averted, so the labor lead
ers say, is for the brewers in Los An
geles to grant union conditions to the
! men in that industry now on strike.
