BY EARTHQUAKES
Three Sharp Shocks in One Day
Cause Much Property
Damage.
FALLING BRICKS HURT MANY
Temblor Seemed Centered in the
Southern California City, but
lie Felt in Cities Within a
Radius of Thirty Miles.

sharp earthquake shocks were felt
here during the day. The first shock
came at ten o'clock In the morning,
the second at l :37 in the afternoon
and the third two minutes later.
Eight people were treated at the
Emergency hospital for slight injuries
from broken glass or falling bricks.
The temblor seemed centered in the
city and was felt at only few out
side towns. There was much confu-
sion in the Industrial plants owing to
decentralization in the ranks of the
workers and a number of business
houses sent their employees home.
A chimney of tall building in the
downtown section, just north Of the
entrance to the Third street tunnel,
fell across the street, and part of an
embankment near the entrance to the
Pacific Electric-Municipal tunnel in
North Hill street caved in. The two
tunnels are about four blocks apart.
The morning temblor shook NOR
tar from brick walls and plaster from
walls and ceilings, sending four per-
sons to the receiving hospital with
minor injuries and frightening the
majority of the population.
A water main was reported broken
In the downtown section, and reports
of broken windows in downtown
stores multiplied.
A man was taken to the receiving
hospital with a broken leg. His In
jury was said to have been caused
when a brick fell at First street and
Broadway and knocked him down.
A piece of coping at Market and
Main streets fell and struck fire
alarm box, turning in an alarm. The
response of the fire department and
rumors caused some person to send
In call for ambulances.
Cracks in the fronts and walls OF
buildings were reported after the sec
ond and third quakes, and hospitals
In department stores were overflow
ing with fainting and hysterical WON
en- shoppers.
A piece of iron fell from the top OF
building at First and Main streets
and Inflicted a severe wound upon
the scalp of a pedestrian.
Reports to telegraph and telephone
companies here indicated that while
the morning shock was felt only In
Los Angeles and not farther than Il
miles from it in any direction, those
Of the afternoon were felt as far al
Fullerton, 80 miles to the southeast
and as far north as Pasadena, abou
nine miles from Los Angeles.
Inglewood, which bore the brunt O.
the shock of June 21, felt all thre'
shocks, those Of the afternoon beini
more severe than the one of the morn
ing.
Pomona and adjoining towns in tn
citrus belt did not feel any of tn
shocks. Similar reports came frox
Los Angeles county beach resorts.

STRIKE TIES UP
CARS IN CHICAGO

Truck Carrying Passengers
Is Wrecked.
WALKDUT IS UNEXPECTED
Elevated Lines and Steam Roads
sWamped With Thousands Of
Persons Attempting to Get to
Work In the Morning.

Chicago, July 17.--Street car serv-
Ice was completely paralyzed here
by an unexpected strike of cleo
trical workers, machinists and track
laborers, through which $500 men were
called from their jobs with less than
ten hours notice to the company.
One girl, Rose Stein, IA, is dead
at ST. Mary's hospital as a result of
the street car strike. She was killed
and seven others were seriously in
jured when motor truck crowded
with passengers bound for the loop
ran into an electric light pole at
Robey and Thomas streets.
Not until a. m. was Wilson Fish,
general manager of the Chicago Sur
face lines, sure that a walkout of any
kind was coming. At that hour every
power plant and car barn was tied
up.
Utter confusion followed. Thousands
waited AZ street corners for cars that
did not come, unaware that strike
had been called. Elevated lines and
steam railways were swamped.
Private automobiles were comman-
deered and limped downtown under
swarmlng loads. The morning rush
became n confused. belated Jam.
The strike order came without warn
ing following a conference yesterday
afternoon between representatives Of
the company and six unions which did
not sign the new wage agreement ac-
cepted by men IN the operating forces
OF the system June 1. The conference
was arranged as a peaceful meet
ing for the discussion Of a contract,
according to Manager Fish. Instead,
II developed into wrangle and the
strike order followed. Issues were
not made clear. but statements today
from Michael (~Umbrella Mike')
Boyle and Irwin Knott. business
agents Of Electrical Workers Union
No. 0. indicated that the mems griev-
ances are these:
1. Dissatisfaction on the part Of the
machinists and track laborers with
their present wage scales.
2. Resentment by the electrical
workers over the fact that the com
pany is operating its shops at Vim
cennes avenue and Seventy-seventh
street under an "open-shop" policy.
3. Dissatisfaction with working
conditions which the business agents
refused TO discuss In detail.

members of the national, state and
Cook county executive committees of
the party, secretaries of local
branches, members of the organiza-
tion and propaganda committee, or
ganizers and agitators.
The trial is being conducted before
Judge Oscar Hebel of the superior
court and presents an array of legal
talent such as never assembled before
in case involving radicals and their
actions, unless the famous Mcnamara
trial at Los Angeles be excepted. Lead
ing counsel for the defense is Clar-
ence Darrow, who occupied the same
position in the Mcnamara case, and
his principal assistants are William
S. Forrest, a famous criminal defense
lawyer, and William A. Guinea, prom
inent Socialist attorney and former
candidate of that party for states at
torney Of Cook county. Associated
with Prosecutor Hoyne are the full
legal strength of his Office and emf
nent counsel from the outside, includ-
ing Attorney Frank Comerford as spe-
cial prosecutor. The latter in the
past has been identified with some of
the biggest labor cases on the defense
side, this being his first essay at the
role of prosecutor in an important
trial of any nature. He is regarded
as an authority on mass and social
problems, and returned few months
ago from study in Europe of bolshe-
vism and its effects.
The state scored in the preliminary
sessions of the trial in securing the
admission as evidence of acts and
speeches of the defendants of period
prior to the passage of the state sedi-
ton law of year ago. The prosecu-
ton is endeavoring to show that the
defendants have declared themselves
to be in full accord with the Moscow
manifesto adopted in Moscow, Rus
sia, by the third International congress
in March, 1919; that the congress was
composed of revolutionary socialists
from Europe. Asia and America; that
it was held for the purpose of form
ing manifesto or program which
would outline the means by which
constitutional governments might be
overthrown and dictatorships of the
proletariat established, and all nations
be governed from Moscow. Also that
the Communist party is affiliated with
the international body and is an in
| tegral part of the Russian organiza-
| ton; and that the defendants state in
| their platform that they are for the
| overthrow of the government of the
| United States The state further con-
tends that they advocate mass action,
in other words. proceedings from the
shops and factories to capture and
annihilate the apparatus of govern
ment and that they tell the workers
that the Constitution cannot be
amendable in their behalf, and there
| fore must be destroyed.
The defense has not, at this writing
| been outlined. Volumes of. testimony
are expected. 1t is the first case under
| the Illinois sedition law and if wor
will present that law as model fol
other states as we'll as for congres
sional enactments. On account of the
prominence Of the defendants and the
effect the decision will have on radfca
movements in general, it looms as one
of the most important trials of recent
years.
