WORKING MEN WILL
NOT AID IN WAR
PASADENA LABOR UNIONS PASS
RESOLUTIONS DENoUNcING AD-
MINISTRATIoN FOR MEXICAN
TROUBLE.

Pasadena, April 21.-Denouncing as
puerile the proposal to wage war on
Mexico, the Pasadena Board Of Labor
is on record today as urging working
men to have no part in such war.
The board is made op of fifteen local
unions and three federations.
The resolution unanimously adopted
last night at meeting which the
secretary says was ''not so well at
tended as usual " is bitter in the ex-
treme. 1t recites the alleged wrongs
of the miners in Michigan and Colo
rado and asserts that the adminsitra-
tion has taken no notice of these viola
tions of the rights of workingmen but
now would precipitate war with Mexico
because the property rights of Rookie
Teller are involved. The resolution
concludes with this paragraph:
"In view of these facts, the Pasa-
dena Board of Labor protests against
this outrage of decency and brother
hood in the name of honor and patriot
ism, and calls upon the workers in
Pasadena and elsewhere to refuse to
become a party to this murder of the
Mexicans for the dollars that Standard
Oil and others hope to make from the
Mexieans in their helplessness.

Adjutant General Finer and Col. C.

confer with Governor West as to ths
Mexican situation and perfect arrange
ments for at once answering any call
that might be made on the state for
the militia. Both the officers are cor
fident war will come and that soon.
In response to an inquiry they stated
that the Third Regiment could be ready
to start in q few hours notice, and
certainly by the time ears could be
provided for carrying them to the
front. Everything IL in readiness With

peace So men but can be 65. On a
war footing the full company is 10s.
These additional men cannot be re-
cruited until the state is asked to put
the companies on a war footing. In
case of war however the companies
would be sent forward just as they
are and the recuit5 would follow as
soon as enlisted, which would be
practically the same day.

Under the new militia law all the
militia forces are mode part of tho
army and are subject to call by the

regiment goes as it is, the officers
retaining their commands.

SAYS HOFF IS FOOLISH
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL IS
SUES STATEMENT REGARDING
EIGHT HOUR RULING.

The Board of Control today after
quite a prolonged session issued the
following:
The State Board of Control is MAX
ing every effort consistent with good
business and the best interests of the
state institutions to meet the unex-
pected situation presented by the
labor commissioner s, Interpretation Of
the eight-hour law.
When the measure was before the
legislature we were advised that it was
not intended to apply to institutional
employees, otherwise amendments
would have been suggested whicn
would have taken care of certain
peculiar situations which existed at the
state institutions
The legislature took this view of the
situation or it would have provided
additional funds to cover the. added
labor cost.
The board has adopted the S--hour
schedule, is making an earnest effort
to comply with the law and is meet
ing its requirements as far as the
peculiar circumstances will permit.
In our opinion, M. Hoff, in placing
his extreme construction upon the law
is not only acting foolishly, but is
throwing uncalled for burdens upon the
taxpayers and is doing irreparable in
jury to the cause of short hour work
day. If he is not atisfied with the
earnest efforts the board is making
to comply with the requirements OF
this law, and at the same time prevent
deficiency, the courts are open tt
him for redress.
