Men Cheaper Than Mules.

c. J. Morrison in The Engineering
Magazine: Even today there are many
abuses in spite of the unions and the
laws. A specific case is that of the
removal of ashes from the pits be-
meath the a producers at a large
steel mill. The management will not
permit the ashes to be wet down
water costs money-and as a result
thc pits arc Sitting with dust. At one
time a mule hauled out the ashes, but
the dust was too much for the poor
brute and he died, and was never re-
placed. The men now do the hauling
and although they frequently die, their
places are always taken by others at
no expense to the concern. To make
the place sanitary or to install ma
chinery would slightly increase the
expense of handling the ashes. In
practically every other case cited, the
eliminations of the abuses would re-
duce the costs. Even in this case the
added expense of handling the ashes
could be far more than recovered by
getting a better grade Of labor at the
producers.

TERROR REIGNS IN
CITY OF VERA CRUZ

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 21.-Ameri
cans arriving from Vera Cruz bring
startling stories of chaotic conditions
in that city since it's occupation by
Carranzistas.
The promises made the American
Government have been ignored and
arrests of citizens and confiscation OF
property are of daily occurrence.
1t is said that on an average of eight
citizens are killed daily. Some are
killed by stray bullets by drink crazed
soldiers, but more are victims of as.
sassins working under orders of their
superiors.
Carranza, it is charged, has lost all
control of his men and they treat his
orders with the greatest contempt.
Carranza has taken up his headquar-
ters in the lighthouse building and
keeps small gig with steam up and
ready to put to sea at a moment s
notice. Two gasoline launches are
constantly moored at the lighthouse
pier ready to carry the first, chief to

Citizens of Vera Cruz, according

tions are rapidly becoming unbear.

PASADENA, Dec. o. Asserting
that midwinter pageant of flowers

The parade has been designated by

GREAT PROGRESS RECORDED
IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
CANNING SEASON OF 1914 IN CALIFORNIA SHOWS 200 MILLION
CANS PACKED With A VALUE OF OVER $2l, 100000
Fruit Pack Estimated at About 900 Cases of Which Oe Goes to
Foreign TadeVgeables the Amount of 100000 Cases Pack
ed-Adance Sales to Europe We're the Heaviest Ever Known

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22.-The fruit
and vegetable canning season of 1914
in California is reviewed in a COM
prehensive manner in the journal of
Commerce." 1t says in part:
"The total pack of California
canned fruits for 1914 can be esti-
mated at about 100000 cases, of a
market value of about $15,0O0,000. OF
this the foreign trade has taken ap-
proximately 100000 cases, of a value
of about $5,000,000.
"The total pack of California
canned vegetables is estimated at
about 100000 cases, of which a very
small percentage was exported The
approXimated value of this pack was
aobut $6,000,00O.
"The total combined pack of Cali
fornia fruit and vegetables was s.
100000 cases, or about 100000, 900
cans, of an approximate value of
about $21, 100000.
"Who can predict the volume of the
rapid growth of this industry in the
near future? Beginning in 1863 with
a total pack of less than 1000 cases,
in 1880 it was about 100000 cases,
in 1890 about 100000 cases, in 1900
about 2,750,O00 cases, in 1910 about
100000 cases, and in 1914 about
8,5O0,OOO cases. 1t will shortly reach
total of 100000 cases, and then
rapidly advance toward the 20,000,O00-
case mark, as the markets of the
world are now opened up to the in
dustry.
1t must be borne in mind that the
fruit canning industry of California
uses but small portion of the fruit
crop of the State, ranging all the way
from Is to 80 per cent, according to
the variety of fruit The bulk of the
fruit is dried or shipped fresh. The
season of 1914 showed total ship
ments of fresh deciduous fruits to be
about $500 cars more than in 1913,
or a total of about 10000 tons in
crease, but the gross returns are esti-
mated to have been over $3,000,OOO
less than in 1918.
No doubt the war and the financial
situation are responsible for the fall
ing off in the gross receipts, because
up to the time the war broke. out
prices were up to the average, but as
soon as war was declared prices be-
gan declining, and then were from 25
to 40 per cent below last year.

CHICAGO TO HAVE
500-MILE EVENT

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Chicago speed
way officials have decided to hold the
first meet on the huge oval to be con-
structed at haywood on June 49, The
American Automobile association will
be asked for sanction for this date,
and it is unlikely that the request will
be refused.
The contest will be for 500 miles,
and as the track will be the fastest
two-mile course in America, it is ex-
pected the meet will eclipse anything
of the kind ever held in this country.
Acting upon the advice of Ray Har-
roun, who won fame as the victor in
the 500-mile race at Indianapolis in
1911, the officials decided upon a series
of elimination contests which will be
the most interesting held in this coun-
try. Only twenty-seven cars can COM
pete on the course, and it will be
necessary to hold elimination contests
for several days prior to the big con-
test. The eliminations will close June
IT, Entries will close June 5.

200 AIR CRAFT FOR U. S.
DEMANDED BY CHIEF

!, WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.--Two hun
dred naval air craft-100 for active
service, and 100 to be held in reserve
are needed by the United States for
national defense, as set forth in rec
concentrations of Capt. Mark L. Bris-
tol, chief Of the aeronautical bureau of
the navy department, to the house ma
val committee.
BristoPs recommendations are con-
tained in a supplemental statement
laid before the committee.
1t would require an appropriation of
$2,200000 to bring the aeronautical
branch Of the navy up to proper
standard of efficiency, Captain Bristol
told the committee. It's purpose he de-
scribed as follows:
'The air navy of the United States
must consist of aeroplanes, semi-rigid
or non-rigid airships, the destroyer,
cruiser and battleship of the air re-
spectively. The -aeroplane will be
used for scouting to discover the en-
emy's fleet, especially submarines and
mines, and to attack the dirigibles
and aeroplanes of the enemy. 1t is
the torpedo boat of the air against the
airship cruisers and battleships."

SUGAR FACTORIES IN
FRANCE REOPEN

PARIS, France. Dec. 21.-M. de
Fonbonne, at present at. the head of
the Imprimerie de la Bourse de Com
merce, in conversation with a news
paper representative stated that many
sugar factories in France had begun
work again. Among these were the
Pont d'Ardres factory in the Pas de
Calais and the Stockton factory in
the department of the Nord.
With regard to the French store of
barley which up till now, together
with other French produce, has come
under the government export prohi'
bition, M. de Fonbonne thinks it
probably that some arrangement may
be come to between France and Eng
land by which the barley could be
sent to England in exchange either
for gold or merchandise.
The Parker post., 1914-12-26

'This decline of prices resulted in
more fruit being available to the can
ners, and it can be safely estimated
that the 1914 canned fruit pack was
about 20 per cent heavier than in
1918, or an increase of over 100000
cases, making the record pack in he
industry.
advance sales to Great Britain
and the continent of Europe were the
heaviest ever known. This was ow-
ing to the fact that the countries of
Europe, including England, Scotland
and Ireland, we're just beginning to
enjoy a wave of industrial prosperity
after the financial depression of the
previous two years. 1t was estimated
that the sales to Great Britain and
the continent of Europe in advance
of the season of 1914 were fully l.
100000 cases, or 40 per cent above
normal.
"Of course, there were consider
able cancellations, owing to the war,
particularly in Germany; but up to
the present time the export trade in
general has taken practically all the
goods they have contracted for with
the exception of Germany and France.
''The opening of the Panama Canal
will result in tremendous expan-
sion and increase the development
of the trade in California products.
| "This will affect all lines of Cali
fornia products, both fresh, dried and
canned, as the reduction in freight
rates will place California actively in
competition with many of the east
ern sections from which they have
heretofore been excluded, owing to
the overland freight rates, and as a
conclusion it can safely be again pre-
dicted that the California canning in
dlstry is only in it's infancy, and that
with the assistance that will be given
to California by the opening of the
Panama Canal the markets of the
world will now be at our door, and
that with the resumption of Euro
pean normal conditions and the con-
sequent increase Of transportation
facilities, tremendous strides will be
shown in the development of the ex-
port trade, and that so far as America
is concerned the whole country east
of the Missouri river, with it's enor-
nous population, will be opened up
to California canned fruits on a low
basis, owing to the facilities afforded
through the Panama Canal.
