BOARD OF LABOR
AGAINST LIQUOR

Pasadena, May 26.-Circular letters
were sent today to every central la
Dor body in America by the Pasadena
Board of Labor, endorsing the ma
tional prohibition measure now before
congress. They cited the experiences
of the workingmen in Pasadena, where
saloons were abolished twenty years
ago. The local board contends that
liquor is the enemy of prosperity, re-
plying arguments of the brewery
workers union that thousands of
brewery workers would be thrown out
of employment if the measure be-
comes a law. The letter says:
at is argued against national pro-
hibiticn that many men will be thrown
out of work, but we honestly believe
these men would be better employed
in the manufacture of many household
necessities and building better homes,
of which wives and children of la
Dor are now deprived and to which
they are entitled.

Trade Unions at Outs
With President Wilson

"would erect ston ewalP around la
Dor unions, making them immune from
penalties for illegal acts. He de-
clared the House iaborites had ac-
cepted the Clayton bill with the pro-
vision that nothing be put into the
measure which would be construed as
affecting the legality of unions. The
president said this was as far as he
was willing TO go. Senator Hughes
asked the president and the House
judiciary committee to get together
on compromise to prevent employ
ers' associations from manipulating
antitrust laws to harass union la
bor. The president insisted that the
Clayton bill would prevent it. Hughes
insisted otherwise, declaring union la
Dor had been promised consideration
in the last two Democratic platforms.
The president did not seem impressed
by Hughes assertions.

cost $3.50 a pound that now costs

but one-third that of the contract re-
placed. These were given as illus
trations of the great expense of the
administration to the parasites.
He spoke of the vast economies that
have been brought to the state
through the commission, a single de-
cision of the railroad commissioners
having saved the people enough an
nually to meet the annual expenses
of all the state commissions COM
bined.
Governor Johnson told in inspiring
language of the position of Abraham
Lincoln when he went out Of the old
Wing party into the Republican party,
declaring that a new organization had
become necessity to meet the new
issues, and he declared that the same
condition prevails today that did then,
and that the real party of Lincoln
today is the Progressive party.
At the close of the meeting the
audience gave three cheers for John
son and Eshleman with spirit of
enthusiasm that told of the great sue
cess of these candidates at the pri-
maries and at the election in Novem
Der.

BEING EXPEDITED

The trial of Hazel Hardin for the
killing of Hindar Singh last Decem-
ber is being greatly expedited this
week before Judge Franklin J. Cole,
the defense furnishing their witnesses
this afternoon. Hardin took the stand
this morning and told of the trouble
with the Hindus, which finally re-
suited in shooting affair at whicn
time one was instantly killed and an
other badly wounded.
Hardin testified that there had been
dispute regarding the placing of a
cotton wagon and that when he told
them that he had driven the wagon
on the Lester Edwards field instead
of that of the Hindus, the witness
claimed that Hindu threw cotton
fork at him and that others ap-
preached in hostile attitude, causing
him to fear for his life and, in order
to protect it, he drew his revolver
and fired four times.
The case will likely go to the jury
this afternoon. Galen Nichols of I'M

Washington, May 26.-The widen
ing of the breach between the presi-
dent and organized labor appeared
probability today. Webb of North
Carolina, acting chairman of the
House judiciary committee, with Van
Carlin and Flood of the sub-commit-
tee in charge of antitrust legislation,
called at the White Hous and told
the president organized labor would
insist on an amendment to the Clay
ton bill, thus putting the demand for
complete exemption from the terms
of the Sherman antitrust law direct
ly up to the president.
An immediate answer was forthcom-
ing. The president made it perfectly
clear that he will not permit any
changes in the Clayton bill which

Berlin, May 26.-Prince Oscar, the
kaiser's son, has announced his en-
gagement to Countess Ina Marie,
daughter of Count lBassewitz of Meek
lenbarg. Because the girl is not of
royal blood, the marriage must be
morganatic. 1t will be the first NOR
ganatic union in the Hohenzollern
house and it is expected the kaiser
will break the match or Danish his
son.
The prince is &c and the countess
six months older. They met while
she was lady in waiting to the kais-
erin. She was dismissed from serv-
ice when their attachment was dis
covered. Oscar has nothing but an
income from his father and if he is
cut off he must go to work. Pub
lie sympathy generally is with the

the young men may be brought to ac-
compliSh the things the old bosses
want done but cannot do for them
selves, now that they are badly dis
credited.
He spoke in the highest praise of
the governor, saying that some of his
own friends in the valley have told
him they intended to vote for him,
but lot for the governors re-elec-
ton, and declared that he did not
wish this done, for his efforts have
been in harmony with those of Gov
ernor Johnson and if his acts were
worthy of endorsement, by the same
evidence the governor should be sup
ported.
Colonel Fletcher spoke but briefly
on the subject of highways, declaring
that there now remains only the lit
tie strip of road between Ell Centre
and Yuma to make the Southern Ma
tional Highway passable with comfort
by El Paso to the Pacific, and he de-
clarel that small gap must be filled
with passable road, and he be-
lieved the state would yet compete
it as state highway.
Gov. Johnson was received with
storm of applause and for more than
an hour he held the audience in it's
entirety while he reviewed the
work of his administration. He of
fered no apologies for the work of the
administration, but declared if he had
kept his promises to the people made
before election he believed he was
entitled to the endorsement of the
people of the state, and if he had
failed to keep those pledges the peo-
pie should retire him.
He said that throughout the state
the cry has been raised by interested
parties that this has been an expen-
sive administration. He admitted that
this is true, in sense. He said it
had heen an expensive administration
for lie small fry politicians and con-
tractors who have fattened off the
people. He told of two warehouses
filled with paper bought for school

Vera Cruz, May 26.-Weak and
leaning on a soldiers arm, unmis-
takably ill, Consul John Silliman Of
Saltillo, for whom the state depart
ment had weeks of anxiety, arrived

were notified that Silliman's condition

met the train with stretcher. Silli-
man declined the stretcher, essaying
to walk. He declared:

On account of the disturbed condi-
ton of the country it was deemed

Regeneration of State
Approved By People

Governor Johnson and party left the
valley this morning after a campaign
of but one day, but which day had
been crowded so full of events that
practically the entire county was COW
cred.
And the governor and his associ-
ates left the valley, as all visitors
do, as one of the great boosters, sing
ing the praises Of the pioneers who
have here reclaimed the desert.
The meeting last evening at Holt
opera house was great climax to
great day. In spite of a heavy wind
storm, not only was every seat occu-
pied, but there were hundred per-
sons standing when the meeting be-
gan and, strangely enough there were
a hundred standing when it closed,
for despite the discomfort of por-
ton of the audience all stayed to
hear the final word in series of mas
terly addresses.
The speakers of the evening were
John M. Eshleman, president of the
state railroad commission, resident
of El Centre; Colonel Ed Fletcher,
leader in building of the high
way from Los Angeles to the valley,
and Governor Johnson, the meeting
being presided over by Edgar T.
How4, who introduced the speakers.
Mr.. Eshleman naturally devoted his
address in large part to the work Of
the commission of which he is pres
idenr, and declared that while in the
thirty years the preceding commits
sioners, owned by the railroads, had
established but ten new rates, the
