We had a verbal contract with this

expire until next June and a man of
honor would at least have given his
employer a few days notice before
quitting the job even though he had
been offered a larger salary. Wher-
ever he has gone we wish to warn his
employers that he is liable TO do this
same thing again. These fly by

ing to San Diego and the other two
consigned to Los Angeles.
! The Valley ranchers are bitterly OPP
posed to the plan at the present time
of building union stock yard in Los
Angeles, and have voiced their opinion
on a number of different occasions in
that respect. 1t is stated by them that
as the situation now stands they are
tble to force the stocks yards TO come
TO them, selling direct from their
ranch on the other hand should a
union yard be established in Los Ange-
les under the present plans, it would
be up TO the ranchers to ship their
stock to the coast, on their own re-
sponsbility with the producer stand
ing the loss. Il
The shipment of stock out of the
Valley has taken a decided jump and
should the yard be built, a small mar
gin will be cut from the profits of the
Valley ranchers, It is declared, at the
same time reducing the price of meat.
This information was gained from an
authoritative source, connected with d
large stock company on the coast.

DECISION TODAY
ON JAP PROBLEM
Conference MGu Decide to In
UOke Initiative to Secure
Special Session to Consider
Anti-Oriental Legislation.

SACRAMENTO, March 13.-The
question of whether the initiative shall
be invoked to present anti-Oriental
legislation legislation to the people at
! the November. 1920, election will be
definitely decided at conference of
representatives OF organizations
throughout California in San Fran
cisco Saturday, March 13. The con-
ference was called by Senator J. M.
lnman, president of. the California
Oriental Exclusion league.
At the first conference of the or
ganization in San Francisco several
weeks ago the initiative was proposed,
but committee was appointed to wait
upon Governor Stephens to ascertain
his attitude relative to calling an ex-
ira session of the legislature to cor
slider the Oriental question.
However, Governor Stephens refused
70 see the committee and instead is
sued a statement in which he said he
but was waiting for the report of the
state board of control before making
a decision about calling an extra ses-
sion.
Saturday we will definitely decide
whether the initiative shall be in
voked,' said Inman. "While there is
a general demand for the anti-Orien-
tai legislation as proposed by the
league, the Southern California sec
lion of the Anti-Oriental association
is in favor of waiting until the regu-
lar session of the legislature if Steph-
ems fails to call special session.
The southern section takes the po-
sition that the vote could not be he'd
until November and that the legisla,
Eure will meet in January, so that we
would not gain much time.
"We shall consider all angles to the
question and then decide. At all
events we are all agreed that the leg
lsiation is necessary and that the bills
will be presented"
