Henderson Tries to Hog

''The state organization of the

sOciated Dairymen of California.
1t is composed of twelve directors
who have control of its affairs.
1t has no business other than to
market the products of the six
cooperative milk organizations of
the state, and has no power to in
cur any debts"
Quoted from Ell Centre Progress,
July 18th, 1919.
The Press has not deemed it wise
to expose the plain and deliberate de-
ception practiced on the dairymen, by
the Progress in the foregoing state
ment, until the sitga'tisS aevelopedt@t5.
the point where the heavy financial
responsibilities which the local unit
has assumed toward the state organ
ization, were disclosed.
Now it appears, however, that in
addition to other monies which Alli-
son Peck's- expose showed are going
into Henderson's treasury at Sacra-
mento, local dairymen are being milk
ed for six thousand a year as the
"cost of membership" in the state or
ganization.
1t becomes important therefore to
inquire into the matter of this state
association to which local dairymen
are allied by a membership bond and
which is getting so much Imperial
Valley money. 81
In the first place Henderson organ
lied and promoted it just as he is
promoting and organizing various
units of the state combine. In fact,
just as he promoted the Imperial unit
to which he refers in such fatherly
terms.
Furthermore, Henderson is the
president of the state association. He
dominates it completely.
To obtain accurate information for
the dairymen, as substitute for the
lying statements published in the
Progress and quoted at the top of this
column, The Press communicated with
the Secretary of State at Sacramento
and secured from his office a state
ment of the powers and purposes of
the state association.
Here is the TRUTH as to the busi-
ness of the Associated Dairymen of
California;" It's articles of incorpor-
alton show that it has the following
business:
To engage in the production,

CHICAGO, Ill.,, July 31.-Chicago
is still in the throes of the race riot
which broke out in the Windy City
four days ago and the death list is
rapidly growing larger. With the ne
gro section of Chicago under patrol
by six thousand war equipped troops
the rioting still continues. Parts of
the black belt which heretofore have
not been scenes Of lawlessness are
now the mecca for rioters.
Six thousand war equipped soldiers
are today patroling the streets of the
negro section of Chicago. They were
ordered out last night when darkness
brought renewed rioting and when
the three thousand policeman on sepc-
ial duty found themselves exhausted
and unable to cope with the situation.
General Dickson in command of the
troops reported the condition to May
or Thompson as "ominious."
In the four nights of rioting, II
negroes and 13 whites have been kill
ed, while nearly thousand have been
injured, two hundred. severely. A
dozen or more are dying from injur-
les received during the riots.
Chief Garrity Of the police force
stated that two policemen have been
slain and that thirty-one had been
more or less injured, some mortally.
Forty alarms have been answered by
the fire department to quench fires
which have been started by the riot
ers.
With the arrival of the troops some
Of the fighting subsidized in the patrol
led quarters bat several soldiers were
fired upon from ambush, although
none were injured.
AS the soldiers swung into the riot
area, rOughs and toughs who had
been looking for fights disappeared.
Some Of the bands sped to other parts
of the negro section hitherto undis-
turbed by terrorism and resumed
their lawlessness, but most of the
mauraders retired for the night as
rain began to fall.
Law abiding negroes who have
been herded within doors fearing at
tacks, rushed out to greet the soldiers.
Each regiment was split in patrols of
eight men who were sent out under
orders of non-commissioned officers.

indications are they have in the
Henderson pie.
A year or two before this ef-
fort to make a citrus fruit trust
E. T. Earl was forced to sell his
right to run refrigerator cars
over the Southern Pacific to the
Armours. and, at the same time,
they took over the Earl Fruit Co.
In 1903 the Earl Fruit Co. and
fourteen other packers and ship
pers of citrus fruits in several of
which the Armours had acquir-
ed financial interest were form
ed into a corporation called the
California Citrus Union and thru
the manipulation of the head of
the Fruit Growers cooperative
exchange the Exchange and the
California Citrus Union were
combined in an organization
known as the California Fruit
Agency, which controlled the dis
tribution of about 70 per cent Of
the California citrus fruit ship
ments. This organization complet-
ed, it proceeded to put the inde-
pendents out of business in the
good old-fashioned Trust way of
smashing markets, using the fruit
of the cooperative growers to de-
press the market for the fruit of
the Independent growers.
Under the leadership of Abbot
Kinney an investigation was made
which resulted in national publi-
city of the methods of this would
be- trust and the danger of Ar
mour control which threatened
the California citrus fruit grow
ers thru the use of those meth
DDS. The campaign was so vig-
orous that the California Fruit
Agency was forced into dissolu-
tion, new manager took hold
of the growers exchange, an aux
iliary in the shape of protective
league to safe guard the exchange
from any more efforts at trust
manipulation was formed, and

Everybody has more or less of a skeleton in the closet, but it doesn't often take the shape of a piece of pie. Mabel Normand admits that for years she has had a hidden skeleton.

As he watched her, he suddenly be- came aware of the fact that she was enjoying it. You like it." he thund- cred.

State Income
Tax Void as to
NOn-Residents
Judge Knox, i'm Federal
Court, Holds N. Y. Law
Violates Constitution;
Other Provisions Stand

The state income tax law as appli-
cable to non-rcsidents employed or do
ing business in the state was declared
unconstitutional yesterday in de-
cision handed down by Judge John C.
Knox in the Federal District Court
The validity of the act as applying to
citizens of the state was not passed on
by Judge Knox.
The decision was given in the equity
action instituted by the Yale & Towne
Manufacturing Company, of Stamford,
Conn, for about fifty Of their en-
ployes, against State Controller Eugene
NJ. Travis. who wss to collect the tax.
Judge Knox held that the law was
unconstitutional because Of the nature
of the discrimination residents
would be subjected to under its OPP
Grafton. He pointed out that although
under the act residents may claim ex-
emption of 1000 for unmarried per-
sons and 81 600 for married persons,
residents and citizens of adjoining
states were not allowed any exemption.
He quoted from the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution, providing
that no state shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the priv
ileges or immunities of the citizens of
the United States.
Because of Judge Knox's decision no
effort will be made to collect income
tax from non-res sidents this year, it was
said 1t is expected, however, that
when the Legislature meets in January
it will be asl.ed to remedy the defects
in the law and that amendments will
be introduced to force nonresidents to
pay income taxes here.
In his opinion Judge Knox says:
Nothing herein, however, is meant
to be decided as to the validity of the
statute so far as it relates to resi-
dents of the State of New York.
Neither that question nor the question
as to the power of the state to lay
tax on resident citizens of another
state based on their earnings in this
state for personal services rendered
need. in view of my decision. be con-
sidered.'
"On the argument Attorneys Louis H.
Porter, Archibald Cox and F. Carroll
Taylor appeared for the complainants
and Deputy Attorney General James
Y. 1vins represented Controller Travis.

Policemen of New York have formed
labor union, according to Louis Fri
digger, counsel for the striking car men
of Brooklyn, who says he also is at
torney for the new policemen's Or
ganization.
Fridiger announced that the union
has been in process of formation for
three and half months, and that a
set of demands already have been
framed, which will be presented to the
city authorities soon. These demands
include minimum wage of $500 for
newly appointed patrolmen, with an
annual increase of 800 until a maxi
mum rate of $4,000 is reached, and the
abolition of the reserve system now in
force.
1t was also stated that committee
representing 9.302 patrolmen and 76G
sergeants in the department called
upon Commissioner Enright Tuesday to
learn what his attitude would be tow
ard the new organization. The Com
missioner would neither deny nor con.
firm this when the matter was brought
to his attention.

strikes in London. Mayor Hylan sum-
moned the Police Commissioner to his
Office late in the afternoon to discuss
the matter, and it is understood En-
right denied all knowledge of the ex-
istence of the new union.
Fridiger in his announcement de-
clined to make public the names OF the
present heads of the union. He SAID
however, that the organization was well
perfected in Manhattan and The Bronx
and partly so in Brooklyn, and that II
included substantial part of the en-
tire police force, including patrolmen
sergeants and detectives.
SO far" said Fridiger. "a&i our
meetings have been held in secret. En-
cellent progress has been made, and we
shall apply very shortly for charter

There need be no alarm over the posi-
bilty of strike. however, because we
expect to accomplish results by moral
suasion."
Chief Inspector John DAILY declared
he had never heard of the new union,
while other officials Of the department
were equally ignorant of it's existence
The heads of the various police asso-
clations denied that such union
exists.
