The New Town OF Fruit Cfty

Fruit City has a great future There is no doubt in our minds at
all but that it will reach the 5000 mark in less than twenty-four
months after the opening. You see we, are not only giving a FULL
BLOCK upon which to erect the courthouse, but we intend to contribute
$5ooooOo toward the building Of it. Five-sfxths Of the people NOW

Defective Legislation.

Favoring the application of referendum
as Well as the initiative are the Asatic
Exclusion League, Olaf Tveitmoe. presi-
dent, and the San Francisco Building
Trades Council. which last Thursday
night adopted resolutions approving the
stand of the Asiatc Exclusion League.
Both agree that the present law is "a
defective piece of legislation defeating its
own purposes" because it permits three
year leases indefinitely. of land in Cali
fornia by aliens.
In opposition to this recommendation
the San Francisco labor council. with oOJ
delegates from the building trades coun-
ell in attendance. unanimously adopted
last night resolutions that the initiative
be invoked FOR substitute. but the ref
erendum be not invoked.
This split makes it uncertain what will
be the fate of referendum petition
