fact that there have been a large num-
Der of automobiles put into daily use
throughout the islands since the publi-
cation Of that most useful pocket re-

tribution. This is just double the num-
Der printed last year.

be vehicle and traffic ordinances with
amendments thereto, bringing them up

SAY::lAB||OR OFFICER

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-Trade
unions are contemplating the estab-
Hhsment of a trade union bank here.
The open shop fight being waged
by the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce has brought the need of
a bank home to labor council Off
cials, according to Andrew J. Gal
lagher, union labor supervisor.
For some time past" said Gala
CHER, who originated the idea, II have
given serious thought to the subject
Of a trade union bank, especially
since one of the banks in which labor
money was deposited, refused the
union a loan. The next day it made
large loan to the Chamber of Com
merce.
Il have talked the matter over
with a number of labor men. state
and city officials, and prominent
banker. They are all of the opinion
that such a step, besides being feas-
ible, will be necessary for the pro-
lection of the labor movement, par
ticularly in times Of industrial strife
as at present"
A number of labor men hold office
in San Francisco. The majority OF
the board of supervisors are labor
men, elected on the labor ticket.

C|TY'S PUBLIC WORK

One half Of the employees in the
Division of Public Works, will be laid
off on Oct. Is, Announced Commis-
sicner Bert Farrell today.
All engineers helpers will go, the
entire maintenance department and
all of the sewer maintenance depart
ment employees. The saving in the
engineers department alone will
.l1aount to $1400, said the Commits
sioner.
The necessity of economy in the
city administration, he Caid, was the
cause of the move. A few employees
only, will be retained and in the win
ter, if occasion arises, a few more
will be employed. Commissioner
Farrell SAL that he is going to ask
the civil service commission to keep
the men thus let out. on the eligible
list.

MINE WORKERS DO NOT
CARE FOR PATERNALISM

LOUISVILLE, COL. Oct. 5.-John
D. Rockefeller's paternalistic plan Of
abating industrial strife has evil
dently failed, according to the ac-
tivities Of the United Mine Workers
here. The unions, through organ
izers, have posted bills all over Col
orado. calling mass meetings of the
workers.
The organization movement start
ed in the southern fields and is now
sweeping northward, according to
Martin e. Black, one of the organ
izers. He says that the new move
ment is not a forced one and is a
spontaneous outburst Of workers who
want freedom and not Rockefeller's
paternalism.
