In this regard the condition of the
American labor market rs a matter of
serious consideration. When times are
good and a working man can find en-
ployment as soon as he lands, the ques-
ton of money hardly enters the count
at all; when things are slow, however,
he will be barred out unless he has
enough to support him for a reasonable
time. Generally speaking. the inspec-
tors figure that the average single
alien should bring with him about $25,

should have about 5000, and good

GAS THEORY PREVAILS.
Organized Labor Had No Hand In Los
Angeles Disaster.

DEVELOPMENTS from the inveStiga-
tion Instituted by city and state Of
ficials in the explosion at the Los An
geles Times building in the early
hours of Oct. 1 pointed to no other
theory than the one voiced by MEM
bers of organized labor ever since the
disaster occurred-namely. that it was
caused by gas. A searching inveSti-
cation made by a committee repre-
senting the California State Fedora
ton Of Labor. during which scores of
persons who were witnesses to the ex-
ploSion were examined and the opin-
ions Of many of the best explosive eN-
pertS secured. pointed to the theory
that gas ignition was the cause.
OF course there is still a decided de-
termination ON the part of the fanatics
represented by the Merchants and
by the venomous publisher OF the
Times. to convince the public that the
explosion must have been the work
of ''unioniteS-' In the face of these
charges evidence has been produced
to show that the Times building had
been condemned as unsafe. as large
cracks had appeared in the wall: that
a few hours before the explosion three
of the Times employees were forced to
leave owing to sickness caused by the
amount of gas in the building their
statement being filed under affidavit:
that during the day preceding the ex-
plosion some one complained to the
gas company owing to the strong odor
of gas in the building and that the
company sent an inspector to investi-
gate: that he reported that he found
one of the gas mains under the build
ing leaking. this report being made be-
fore the gas company's office closed
In the afternoon and several hours be-
fore the explosion.
All this volume of theory and evi-
dence has gone a long way to con-
vince the general public that organized
labor was in no way connected with
the disaster. 1t is said that few peo-
pie in Los Angeles now hold to the
opinion that so called ''unionites" were
to blame, but are satisfied that the ex-'
plosion was caused by escaping gas

THE CONSUMERS LEAGUE.

1t shall be the special object of
the National Consumers league
to secure adequate investigation
of the conditions under which
goods are made in order to en-
able purchasers to distinguish in
favor of goods made in the well
ordered factory. The majority
OF employers are virtually help
less to maintain a high standard
as to hours, wages and working
conditions under the stress of
competition unless sustained by
the cooperation of consumers.
Therefore the National ConSum-
ers' league also purposes to edu-
cate public opinion and to en-
deavor so to direct its force as
to promote better conditions
among the workers, while secur-
ing to the consumer exemption
from the dangers attending un-
wholesome conditions. The Ma
tional Consumers league fur
ther recognizes and declares the
following:
That the interests of the COM
munity demand that all workers
shall receive fair living wages
and that goods shall be produced
under sanitary conditions.
That the responsibility for
some of the worst evils from
which producers suffer rests
with the consumers who seek
the cheapest markets regardless
how cheapness is brought about.
That it is therefore the duty
of consumers to find out under
) what conditions the articles they
purchase are produced and dis
; tributed and insist that these
conditions shall be wholesome
) and consistent with a respecta-
, BILE existence on the part of the
workers.
