10000 TOURISTS NOW
IN CALIFORNIA MAY
BE FORCEDTOREMAN

ern California is working night and
day in gigantic preparedness move
for the looming railroad strike.
At least 10000 tourists and visitors
will be marOoned here if the strike is
called, according to the estimate of the
chamber of commerce and railroad pas
senger agents. Passenger transporta-
tion is at a premium. All Of the four
major lines of which Los Angeles is the
terminus are choked with passenger
traffic.
Hundreds of workers were thrown out
of employment when % packing houses
in the Ontario-Cucamonga district
clostd down. Packers have made pre-
parations for keeping perishable citrus
fruits now in cars refrigerated through
any delay which the strike mey cause.
Southern California county sheriffs
have deputized many additional men at
the request of the railroad heads.
The Pacific Electric railway system,
which reaches all principal cities within
a radius of GO miles of Los Angeles,
prepared to handle rush of freight
traffic.
Manager H. o. Davis of the Universal
Film company, here stated today that
there will be no film famine. He has
arranged for relay system of fast
automobiles for getting picture ex-
changes east. Approximately 100000
worth of produce. fruit and livestock
have been rushed to eastern buyers in
a frenzied effort on the part of local
producers to supply demands befcre
the railroad embargoes cut them off.

JOHN zy'S MAJORITY
VIZ E9E NEAR 10000
He Will Dictate the Platform,
Name Central Committee
and Be Boss

San Francisco, Aug. 81 Governor
Hiram W. Johnson's majority over
Willis Booth for the republican nom
ination for United States senator will
be very close to 10000, according to
almost complete returns from all sec
tions of the state available early to.
day.
These covered 81 per cent of all the
5443 precincts in the state. With only
47S precincts missing, Johnson's s total
vote was 151,392. against 133,352 for
Booth, a plurality for johnson of 49,
O4O. The unreported precincts are
scattering and the johnson advocates
dtelare that they will merely increase
the governor S majority.
With the republican "old guard"
leaders conceding the victory of Gov
ernor johnson, speculation centered to-
day on the probable effect of the
primaries of the republican and
progressive party conventions to be
held in Sacramento September l9. On
that date the present republican state
central committee, which frankly op-
posed Governor Johnson's candidacy
will go out of power.
Backers of Governor johnson declare
that the govtrnor will be able to dom
mate wholly the coming republican
convention, dictate the platform of
principles to be adopted then and also
name almost entirely the personnel of
the new republican state committee to
be chosen at that time. If Johnson
does name the committee cold guard
leaders do not believe the "stand-
patters" will be represented on it.
There is also considerable specula-
tion as to whether Johnson will ask
the progressive convention to endorse
Charles Evans Hughes for president.
When he announced his own personal
support for Hughes, the governor said
he would only ask other progressives
to vote for whatever candidate for
presidest they preferred
. William II. Crocker, republican ma
tional committeeman, whom Governor
johnson has been attacking during his
primary campaign, announced today
that he would support johnson and do
all in his power to aid in the COVER
nor's election.

Washington Hard Hit.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 31.-Millions OF
dollars loss to fruit growers of this
state win result from q transportation
tie.up, it was estimated here today by
fruit growers and commission mer
chants. This years crop is just now
ripening and without railroad facilities
there will be no means Of transporting
it to the world S markets. The Puyallup
valley blackberry crop will not be hit
as hard as other fruits, because the
greater part of the output can be util-
lied by the large canneries at that
place. Perishable fruit crops in the
Yakima, Wenatchee and Walla Walla
valleys will be almost a total loss if the
strike is effective in stopping all
freight traffic, according to X. K.
Marks, general manager of the Spokane
Fruit Growers association. The peach
crop alone is estimated to be worth
more than $l,000,000. Walla Walla re-
ports that prune pickers have been laid
off there. The prune crop is the largest
in five years and the loss from con
tinued embargo would amount to per-
haps 100000.
Districts tributary to the larger cities
will suffer less than their neighbors at
greater distances, for the wholesalers
are planning on sending fleets of auto
mobile trucks to gather such fruits as
are in demand.
In case of general tie.up of the rail-
roads, this city has on hand sufficient
food to guarantee her RESIDENTS against
food fannie for several months.

BY Robert j. Bender.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
Washington, Aug. 31.-IOfficial Wash
ington refused to believe this afternoon
that Monday will see the countrywide
paralyzation of general railroad strike
announced by railroad brotherhood lead
ers to go into effect that day.
The opinion grew, instead, that the
upshot of the terrific pressure from
the railroads. and the railroad workers
to which the administration has been
subjected for the past three weeks, will
be the writing of the eight hour day
for railroaders into the law of the Uni
ted States.
None could say this for certain. The
answer lay with four railroad workers,
the chiefs of the brotherhoods. With
the eight hour law enacted before Sat
urday night, they say:
"We can flash the words satisfac'
tory settlement" to our members and
that means mo strike.
The whole administration apparent
" was working toward that satisfac-
tory settlement" and there was reason
to believe it would result by Saturday
night.
Fittings are moving" President Will
son said. "We are making satisfactory
progress"
The statement was made following a
conference with house and senate lead
ers. The latter told him of today's hear
ing before the senate interstate com
merce committee in which the brother
hood heads and railroad heads have only
reiterated the arguments they have
been advancing since their dispute be-
gan. The house leaders, however, re-
ported an eight hour bill which they
said can pass by tomorrow and which
many senate leaders believe can be
rushed through the upper house.
Men Give No Assurance.
The president, however, spent con-
siderable time this afternoon in con-
ference with the brotherhood leaders
urging them to withhold their strike
order until congress has had few days
in which to work With reports pouring
in of the railroad activities in prepara-
tion for strike, the brotherhood
heads had stubbornly resisted all such
arguments up to this time.
Following the presidents appeal TO
the brotherhood leaders, the White
House issued the following state

San Francisco, Aug. 31.-About 40.-
900 eastern tourists viii be marooned
in California and the northwest if o
general railroad strike is called. unless
they are able to reach their homes be-
fore Monday.
This estimate today is based on fig
ures compiled by tourists associations
and travellers aid societies. Despite
this prospect, railroad men here declare
today that there has not been any unus-
ual eastbound passenger traffic during
the past few days, which would indicate
that tourists in northern California are
not beginning to hurry home.
In southern California, on the other
hand, passenger traffic officials de-
clare that passenger transportation is at
premium and that all four major
lines out of Los Angeles are choked
with passenger traffic.
Railroad passenger agents and the
chamber Of commerce at Los Angeles
today estimated that there are about
10000 eastern tourists and visitors
who will be marooned in Los Angeles in
case of a strike. 1t is estimated that
probably half that many will be maroon.
ed in other parts of southern Califor-
MIA.
About 10000 are probably in northern
California now, according to the trav.
elers aid society. Railroad officials es-
innate that about 1000 eastern tour
lists will be marooned in Oregon and
