3 The wages current in Los Angeles were
about the same In money-but the pay was
for a ten-hour day. In other words, Los
Angeles employers received one-fourth
more labor for their money. The competi-
ton between the contractors and builders
Of Los Angeles and San Francisco was
keen. and In bidding for work outside the
two cities the advantage proved again and
again to he with the Los Angeles en-
ployers
The agreement between the San FRAN
cisco ironworkers and their employers was
to terminate on October !. ls10-the very
cay OF the Times" explosion, which may
vet prove one OF the shameful dates of
| American history. The San Francisco en-
rloyers said in effect to the unions:
"Unionize Los Angeles, or we will have to
make It a ten-hour day TO hold up our
end
So the union sent organizers to Los Ange-
/ les. and, after the preliminary work OF
STRENGTHENING the little local union and
lining up new members, the demand FOR
a minimum wage of 81 and an eight-hour
day was presented to the employers. There
was no reply. for no employer In that city
would treat with a union
June / the strike was declared. There
was violence from the start. After Few
DAYS of threats and sluggings the city
government passed an ordinance which has
not many counterparts in Law. 1t forbade
plcketing, peaceful or otherwise, in the
streets OF Los Angeles-striking the very
sword hand OF the strikers. The Times
was bitterer than ever against the union

charged that their officers stole the strike
