U. s. OFFICERS VISIT CANTU

During the visit yesterday of Col.
Wittmyer, chief of staff of the west
ern department of the army, and Col.
Pearce, temporary commander of the
border district, they had a meeting
with Governor Cantu at the customs
house. 1t was not given out just what
the meeting was for or what took
place, but on good authority it is said
that the visit of the Mexican governor
which was very brief, was one of
courtesy and was regarded as mere
social call and that nothing affecting
the present situation was broached.
Ha the alleged settlement not been
concluded it is said that there would
have been other subjects taken up and
although the army people
have absolutely no authority in the
nremises. 1t is said that the visit of
the officers was one of inspection and
that they did not come here on a
special mission or by special request.

JAP EXCLUSION
FIGHT To DEATH

MENTO, Aug. IA Wig
orous campaign will be waged by che
California Oriental Exclusion league
for the passage of the amended anti
alien land law which will be voted On
at the general election IN November.
The measure was placed on the ballot
through the initiative.
The campaign to urge the people to
support this measure will be directed
by the Exclusion league, which will
be assisted by all other anti-Asiatic
organizations, lodges, farmers organ
izations and many civic bodies through
out the state.
If necessary, according to Senator
J. M. Inman, president of the league,
speakers of ability will be sent to diff
ferent parts of the state to inform the
people of the Oriental menace and of
the importance of passing the initia-
tive measure.
However" said Inman, "the peo-
pie of California have become so
thoroughly aroused to the menace of
the Japanese and other Orientals that
I don't think it will be necessary to
place a corps of speakers in the field.
The great majority of voters realize
something must be done to relieve the
present conditions, and / am confident
the measure will carry overwhelming
ly."
Those opposed to the measure will
do all in their power to bring about
the defeat of the act John P. Irish,
who has led the fight on behalf of the
Japanese, recently announced he will
make a speaking tour of the state in
the interest of the Japanese and
against the initiative measure. He is
virtually the only white man in the
state who has come out openly against
the measure and defended the Jap
anese.

This tim cit will not be for medals

Harry Woodbury. is now debating
on the best boy from the coast to

BUS DRIVERS
ON STRIKE
DEMAND
RAISE
El Centro to San Diego
Drivers Ask Increase of
from S17 to S25 for Trip.
Say Present Rate Insuffi-
ciert.

Claiming that the present rate re-
ceived is not sufficient return for the
service rendered stage drivers be-
tween here and San Diego today re-
fused to drive their cars over tie
route, according to Frank Lydick, at
present managing the local office.
Ihis action was taken in company
with the Los Angeles to San Diego
drivers, who stopped work this morn
ing, after the lessees of their cars re-
fused to grant a raise demanded some
time ago, and according to Lydick,
promised to the men.
Stage drivers between San Diego
and Ell Centre own their own cars,
and are, according to Lydick, COM
PEELED to keep up their cars. The
men are given SIT for each run, and
are said to make only one run each
day. Therefore says Lydick, after S.
is taken from the SIT, which is neces-
sary in order that the man can live,
only $12 remains to pay for the up
keep and running expenses for car
travelling at least 120 mile a day
This would mean but ten cents a mile
for running and upkeep expenses,
which Lydick says is not sufficient to
keep up and run a Cadillac or Pack
ard, which are the types used on the
FL Centro San Diego run.
AS the stage drivers are organized
into an Incorporated organization the
action taken by them is really more
stopping the carrying out of a con-
tract than it is a strike.
Lydick said today that he did not
believe that the local stage routes
between the various cities of the coun-
ty would be affected by the strike.
Speaking of the situation he said:
"The fact of the matter is that the
stage drivers do not feel they can
afford to run their cars over this
route at the present rate. Instead of
the SIT rate established in 1917, when
prices were much lower, they must
now have $25 rate, one way. The
White Bus line recently swore before
the railroad commission that running
expenses averaged 13 cents to mile.
A White can be more cheaply run
than can our cars, and consequestf
we feel that as we are only being paid
about 13 Y cents mile for our serv-
ices and our cars aside from running
expenses we can not afford to go on.
If we continued i would mean that
we would be banKrupted and lose our
ears. We feel it best that we at least
save our cars
Lydick said that when the demand
was put up to the Pickwick, United
and White Star lines last night they
agreed to grant the raise. This morn
ing they withdrew their agreement
and the men stopped work. One car
arrived here from San Diego today
and two cars left here for San Diego.
