PROPOSED STRIKE DAY HERE
EXPECT 100000 OUT
New York, Sept. 27.-The general
strike, designed to call out all organ
lied labor in New York city in sup
port of striking carmen, was sched-
uled to become effective today.
It was generally admitted, how
ever, that exact number who may
respond to call cannot be definitely
estimated, owing to large number
away from work because of Jewish
holidays, which start tonight.
Outside figures showed that about
100000 workers might be absent to-
day, but majority of these were. of
Hebrew trades. No general waIkout
by union men throughout the city
was apparent.
Labor leaders predict that 100000
union workers will be added each
morning to those on strike until sus-
pension of work brings about victory
in approximately 48 hours.
LOngshoremen, who were expected
to give greatest support to striking
carmen, have decided not to strike
just Underwater boatmen, coopers
and steamWinch engineers also post
poned action, so the harbOr is not
tied up.
Mayor Mitchell and Gov. Whitman
are not taking any definite action.
Labor leaders expressed them
selves as entirely satisfied with the
situation today, but would make no
estimate of number on strike or
about to strike.

Judge Lands started his inquiry
of the methods used in the three

Miller, cashier, to find out why de-

told.
The Chicago Savings Bank &

securities from the Paisley banks the
day before they closed. This was
done to protect a loan made by the
loop bank to the Paisleys.
Part of the $168,OOO listed as as
sets was found to be personal notes

same time work great hardship on
others and that, too, considerable
proportion of the American people,
Then, again, in case an attempt were
made to establish an embargo there
would no doubt be a retaliation on
the part of Canada, England, France
and other countries. 1t has been
found that it would not have been
wise to establish an embargo on mu-
nitions, so it would not be wise to
build a wall about food products. 1t
would be changing the rules of war to
prevent corn or wheat from going to
the countries in the conflict, and to
attempt to establish such a prece-
dent would be injudicious.
Although prices are high, we are
living in a land virtually flowing with
milk and honey in comparison with
some of the unfortunate countries Of
Europe, and it would be little less
than inhumanity to prevent food from
going abroad.

LET THE RATES CONE DOWN

The state fire marshal, M. J. Cleary,
sends out a statement that as a re-
suit of the "Sane Fourth" and Sane
Christmas" propaganda, the fire loss
in the state has grown less and less.
In cities there are now inspections
and, although much care is used, last
year the total loss in the United
States from defective chimneys was
36,322,813. This is a reduction from
the past and all this means there
should be lower fire insurance rates.
Much more money goes out Of Bara-
boo than ever returns and it is time
the rates came down. Here is hint
for the next legislature.

HIS PLUCK ADMIRED

Would you quit a $4,000 job in or
der to study? Arnold S. Rothwell of
Portland, Oregon, has. He wants a
wider horizon on the subjects OF Eng
lsh literature, sociology and statist-
les. Rothwell is to be admired for
having pluck like that. What greater
thing in life is there than to have a
grip on a few subjects-to know them
we'll? The thoughts of the greatest
minds of all time are contained in
books, and to be able to make an in
teIligent survey is the highest state.
Emerson says the world belongs to
the energetic and the Portland man is
to be commended for his casting aside
of ambition of Croesus and seeking
that which is real power!

Los Angeles seems to be the only
city in the United States that has
found a way to annex the overflow
towns and make them look pleasant
over it. Apparently there is some
thing like a stampede of the garden
cities surrounding the City Of the
Angels to get within the limits. Two
more suburban settlements with a
conioint area of fifty square miles
were annexed at the recent municipal
election, and Los Angeles now has a
municipal area of 1892 square miles,
as compared with the 314.75 square
miles of New York, the 1872 of Chicago,
the 1923 of Philadelphia, and the 30.25
Of Baltimore.
The suburban overflow Of Los An
geles was not coaxed in, it just nat
urally kicked in. Water-good, clean,
translucent drinking water-is high
Iy priced commodity in the always
shining climate of California. At a
cost of $23,OOO,OOO Los Angeles has
built a ESQ mile long aqueduct which
delivers mountain water from great
storage lake in the mountains to the
eastward. The city has complete con-
troll of this water supply, and the over
flow settlements cannot tap is without
Joining the municipal family and pay
ing the rates. The dependable flow
through the long main is said to be
sufficient for city of 100000 popula-
ton. Juding by the double and re-
double population score of Los An
geles since 1900 it will not be long
before the 100000 population mark
will be reached.
The scramble for annexation began
as soon as the water was turned on.
A whole valley Of ITO square miles
and containing two large towns has
since been annexed. Los Angeles
now has considerably more territory
than is embraced in Kent, Calvert,
Talbot or Caroline county of this
state. Los Angeles has sign hang
ing out which in effect says: If you
don't come in, the rainwater tank for
you.-Baltimore American.
