petition was sent to the commits
sion yesterday asking it to make it's
decision so that the business of print
ing tariff may be resumed.
1t is stated that the railroads in this
section of the country spend fully $15,-
900 a day on tariff printing work and
that so per cent of this work is sus-
pended by the action of the commits
sion in delaying its decision.
1t is alleged that owing to the sus-
pended tariffs the firms which do tar
iff printing have been compelled to dis
charge many men.
The estimate made in the petition is
that 1000 journeymen compositors are

ing in Chicago. 1t is also estimated

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The American

Y. N. C. A. CONVENTION
C. A. ParmeIee Confers with AS
Sociates on Securing Inter-
national Meeting

c. A. Parmalee of Parmalee-D
mann and a member of the committee
of management of the Young Mems
Christian association met a company
of prominent members Of the aSSocta-
ton at a dinner last night in the asso-
citation building for the purpose of
comforting with them in the matter of
their cooperation toward bringing the
next international convention of the
Young Mems Christian association to
Los Ageles.
The gentlemen invited for this con-
ference, including the board of direc-
tors, committee of management and
advisory board, number some Of the
most prominent business and profess
sional men in the city. They discussed
means of cooperating in Los Angeles
with the efforts which will be put for
ward in Toronto at the convention by
the association representatives who
have already gone there, namely, Pres
ident Arthur Let's, General Secretary
d. E. Luther and Religious Work
Director E. H. Emett. The represen-
tatives in Toronto will present the

ters from public officials and organ
izations from the governor down.

from all parts of the world. The con-
vention preceding this met in Wash
ington, d. c., where there was a not
able and cosmopolitan gathering. To

but that our city would be advertised
among young men in every city and
town of the United States.

last nights meeting several thousand

siderable quantity have been set aside

handsomely gotten up, and Mr.. Cross,
boys work director, will distribute
them. Boys, whether members of the
association or not, are requested to
call for the buttons.

$4,000 C0LONISTS SEEK
HOMES IN CALIFORNIA
Railroads Entering Los Angeles
Report $4,000 Newcomers
Up to Date

Although no official statement could
be obtained, 1t was roughly estimated
yesterday by traffic officials Of the
three transcontinental railroads enter
ing Los Angeles that these roads
brought from 80 to 40 per cent more
colonists to Southern California during
the colonist season which closed with
the arrival of a few stragglers yester-
day than ever before. 1t is believed
that fully $4,000 persons came to Cali
fornia during the colonist season just
closed, the meager reports and aver
ages which have been received by local
traffic men bearing out this statement.
Many Of these were tourists, but not
less than $4,000 were colonists.
It is believed that the greater part
of the newcomers wilk settle in South
ern California. This belief is based on
the fact that much of the advertising
done by the railroads last spring ex-
plotted this section of the country more
than any other. All the through colo
nists' tickets to every part of Cali
fornia included a five-day stopover in
Los Angeles, and from reports at the
different selling. points throughout the
middle west, Indications are that the
majority of purchasers called for stop
over privileges here, probably to allow
them to inspect Southern California TO
a certain extent before going on to
thir destinations.
Those who did not stop over here
gave little time to the cities, going on,
Instead, to the smaller towns and set
Elements to locate at once.
The quality Of the service en route
demanded by this years colonists de-
notes that a high class Of people are
coming to California to live, according
to the railroad officials. Dining car
service had to be maintained on all
trains, and in general the passengers
on the heavily crowded trains asked
and were able to pay for better service
than is generally the case.
Practically all those who took adj
vantage of the colonist rates have ar
rived at their destination, and the pas
senger departments of the three rail-
roads here will now devote their time
to caring for the winter tourist travel,
the advance guard of which already
has begun to arrive in Los Angeles.
