METAL WORKERS GO OUT
AT A PASADENA PLANT
Nineteen Employees Declare They
Need Higher Wages

PASADENA, June 3.-Nineteen pat
ternmakers, molders, machinists and
apprentices went on strike at the Reli-
ance Machine works, Union and Della
cey streets, Thursday morning in an
effort to force their demands for an
increase in wages. While the men all
belong to the local union of Los An
geles, nearly all of them reside in Pas
adena and they deny that the strike
here is in sympathy with the one in
Los Angeles.
THE machinists have been working
for So a day of nine hours" states
Stanford Hart of this city, one Of the
union officials, "and have not had an
increase in ten years. In that time the
cost of living has advanced 40 per
cent and we are asking S4 for an eight
hour day to enable us to support our
selves and families"
e. X. Leuzarder, secretary of the
Reliance Machine works, at first denied
the existence of a strike at the plant,
but when asked if the nineteen men
who had quit had been discharged he
admitted that the men had struck.
1.-The strike doesn't amount to any
thing" he added. I'VE have only a few
men out and will have plenty of men
Monday. We are employing fifteen men
now and with that many more we Will
be able to conduct our business as
usual"
Leuzarder says the walkout is in
sympathy with the strike at Los An
geles and that the men quit without
giving notice other than the written
notice sent to all shops May 26. This
the union leaders deny, stating that
efforts were made to compromise, but
that the company would not treat with
them except as individuals, to which
they would not agree

STRIKERS ARE OFFERED HELP
San Francisco Trades Councils
Tender Financial and Moral
Support During Layoff

Men in two branches Of the iron
workers trades already on strike, but
who had not been organized, met yes
terday afternoon in Labor temple and
formed a Blacksmiths and Helpers
union and a Machinists Helpers union.
Both organizations then presented q
formal demand to the foundries and
machine shops in which their members
had been employed, asking for an
eight hour day with wage scale of 50.
1t was estimated at Labor temple last
night that about 1000 men affiliated
with the Metal Trades are on strike in
Los Angeles This was the figure given
out by the unions two days ago, and
union leaders say it is practically un-
changed. They add, however, that the
number will be largely increased Mon
day morning.
The Metal Trades council will hold a
public mass meeting in Labor Temple
auditorium Monday night, at which
speeches will be made by Job Harri-
man, Fred j. Spring, Stanley Wilson
and Stuart Reid, national organizer of
the American Federation of Labor.
Local union officials received tele-
grams from the San Francisco Building
Trades and from the Metal Trades
councils pledging their support, both
moral and financial, in the local fight.
1t is said, however, that no money is
needed at present.
William B. Heswell manager of the
Founders and Employers association,
estimated the number of men on strike
yesterday at only 500, and predicted
that their places would all be filled by
Monday morning. 1t is said that skilled
labor is being brought here from out
side points to take the places left va
cant by strikers.
All of the machine shops are more
or less crippled, and several of them
have been compelled to stop operations
entirely as a result of the strike.

Music Notes
BY Florence Bosard Lawrence

TI HE tribute of a capacity house
was accorded Lester Donahue
Il when he played at the Gamut club
last night, and distinct appreciation of
his ability was evidenced by applause
and many beautiful floral trophies.
This young player has already de-
veloped an excellent poise. Nothing
about any of his pianistic work caused
any lack of confidence or repose. His
training had hardly extended to the
length of receiving eighteen or twenty
baskets and bouquets of flowers, how
ever. and when this happened for a
moment his equanimity was somewhat
disturbed. This only brought his audi
ence closer to him, however, in his
boyish embarrassment with these
honorS.
The most noticeable point about his
playing now is the limpidity of his tone
and the absolute relaxation of his
hands. These two points once estab-
lished. everything else may come, and
already there is much brilliant execu-
tion and intellectually of interpreta-
tion.
On the whole, no more promising
young player has been heard this year,
and Los Angeles may certainly expect
him to go far on the road to fame.
The program included a Paderewski
theme and variations and the Chopin
sonata in B fiat minor, both of which
delighted his hearers. Brahms, Debussy
and MacDOwell were included in the
second group of composers, and while
moro personality would be effective in
presenting these heavy compositions,
they were most commercially done, as
were the Liszt and Mendelssohn num-
bers which completed the program.
g
The Westlake School for Girls gave
a musicale last evening at the school.
The program was played by Herr
Oskar Selling, violinist and Miss Hazel
Rur ,, who sang a group of songs by
Mrs. Edmund Burton, local composer.
The program and some comment
upon it will appear in this column to-
morrow
