The League of Five

Touching the conference and

fvident that President Harding has
larye views. If he has the psychol-
lgy Of the small town, if he is Main
pteet in political life, then an
American small town is not lack
mg ID vision and IT'S Main Street,
Shateyer 1t lacks in architectural
plsndor, is a highway of signifi-
ssnce.
Mr. Harding Is disclosing himself

mon sense. He sees his goal clear
Y, but also sees the obstacles to
staining it. He has the precious
W Of patience. He is satisfied to
make haste slowly, the way of ma

Sed because it is impossible for
mankind to wing itself into bless
sdness with the swiftness of a
modern flying machine.
During last years Presidential
ampaign the President was criti-

Mnt interrogatory was addressed to

s1ered. He would not exactly say,
and indefinitely spoke Of an associ-
s.ion OF nations as a possible sub

San Francisco's New Idea
Industrial Association Agent for the Public Holding The
Reins Over Both Employers and Labor Unions
By Warren Ryder


The Industrial Association Of San
Francisco is an organization born Of
an industrial conflict-precipitated by
the refusal Of certain unions to abide
by their written agreement and accept
the award Of joint arbitration board
and dedicated to the proposition that,
as the community is bigger and more
important than any of its constituent
elements, its interest must not be sub
ordinated to factional advantage.
The public is familiar with the pur-
poses and activities of the trade union.
as 1t is with the functions Of the vari-
Gus employers associations that exist
throughout the country. The former
has had no other interest than that of
the employee, and the latter under
stands only the point Of view Of the
employer and acts solely in his behalf.
Thus the practical effect of these two
kinds OF organizations has been to
deepen the chasm between employee
and employer and encourage rather
than discourage. costly strikes and
lock-outs.
The Comnunitys Interest
Meanwhile, there has has been no
organized body to represent and pro-
tect the innocent and frequently in
jured third party-the public; a per-
fectly natural result Of an opinion, en-
tertained quite generally until very
recently, that strikes and other forms
of industrial controversy were of con-
Germ only to the two contending parties
the employers and the employees.
Gradually, however, the fallacy of that
opinion has become apparent and we
have seen and heard lately much about
arbitration boards and conciliation
councils. 1t may safely be said, how
ever, that there has been no organiza-
tion of any stable kind OF permanent
nature to represent and protect the
public. Recognizing the need for one
in San Francisco, where union labor
domination had been general for many
years and particularly oppressive in
the building industry, the forward
looking men of the city banded to-
gether and organized the Industrial
Association as a permanent and mill
tant institution to safeguard and ad-
vance the welfare and interest Of the
entire community.
The arbitration board and the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce did
everything possible in an endeavor to
persuade the unions to keep their
agreement and call off the strike, but
to no avail. Accordingly, after all
efforts at persuasion had failed, and
as last resort, the Builders exchange,
at the suggestion and with the Coop
Grafton of the Chamber Of Commerce,
on June "a, established the American
plan," and began bringing in skilled
workers from all over the United
States to man the idle Jobs. 1t was
at this juncture that the Industrial
Association was organized and it at
once declared itself sponsor for the
American plan" and took over the task
thus far ably advanced by the Caam-
ber Of Commsrcs--ek restoring the

THIS is no child that dances. This is

Here at last has found its natural frame
What else is that which burns and flies
From those enkindled eyes
What is that inner blaze
Which plays
About that lighted facet
This thing Is fire set free
Fire possesses her, or rather she
Controls its mastery
With every gesture, every rhythmic

Beat after beat,
1t follows, purring at her side,
Or licks the shadows Of her flashing feet.
Around her everywhere
1t coils its threads of yellow hair:
Through every vein it's bright blood
creeps,
And its red hands
Caress her as she stands
Or lift her boldly when she leaps.
Then, as the surge
Of radiance grows stronger,
These two are two no longer,
And they merge
Into disembodied ecstasy:
Free
To express some half-forgotten hunger.
Some half-forbidden urge.
What mastery
Has been at work until it blent
One child and that fierce element?
Give it no name.

city's building industry to normal pro-
portions.
The need for this sort of an institu-
tion had long existed. It became i'm
minent when, after a prolonged series
of regulations Of wage agreements by
various unions, the San Francisco
Building Trades Council refused to
keep its written contract to accept the
award Of joint arbitration board,
which, after fair hearing, had recon-
mended wage reduction in the seven
teen crafts composing the Building
Trades Council, amounting to 71z per
cent.
The other party to this written con-
tract was the Builders Exchange, the
association Of the building contractors
Of the city. 1t, too, was somewhat dis
satisfied with the boards award, con-
tending that the wage reduction should
have been greater, but announced at
once that it would, Of course, abide by
its agreement. This it did and when
- SSoIUoACo Will LHc aTDlLraC1On
boards decision, the new wage scale
was put into effect (May 9, 1920, the
men affiliated with the Building Trades
Councils seventeen unions struck.
Its organization, with all the leading
business men Of the city as members,
naturally attracted the attention of the
general public, which up to this time
had been waiting lethargically for the
controversy to settle itself, and its
aims and purposes met with instant
general favor. Once aroused, public
opinion set in rapidly in condemnation
Of the unions for their action in re-
pudiating their solemn agreement and
for their previous activities in impos-
ing upon the building industry of the
city, absurd and autocratic rules and
regulations, which had combined to
make building costs well-nigh prohibi-
tive. Indeed, public opinion was SO
strong and general against the unions
that in six weeks time the strike was
called off and the men ordered by their
leaders to return to work "as individ-
uals under the best terms obtainable."
The Strike Fails
AS this Is written, all Of the men
who have been able to find Jobs have
returned to work under the american
plan." The city's building operations
can now proceed without the tre-
1nendous impediment of the cost-in-
creasing abuses which union labor
domination had created, and the power
and influence Of what was once proba-
bly, the strongest and most autocratic
Building Trades Council in the coun-
try have been destroyed.
1t is extremely doubtful II all this
could have been accomplishment least
in such short time-without the Indus
trial Association. To be sure, the
Chamber Of Commerce must not be
overlooked, for it Ia a strong organi-
zation, intelligently directed and rep
resentative Of the best brains Of the
community. But In the estimation Of
the public all chambers Of commerce
are favorable to the employers rather
than to the workers, and the samc plan
effectuated by the Industrial Associa-
tion, if proposed by the Chamber of
Commerce, might havs been suscepti-

will be held in Justice Roach's court

The verdict of the coroner's jury

at the scene of the accident soon after
it happened. Barcenas, who was with
Terrazas at the time of the fatal ac-
cident, was the only eye witness to
the affair who testified at the inquest.
Underwood declined to make any state
ment and two men who are said to
have been passengers in the machine
at the time have not yet been found
although friends of the taxi driver
have spent most of their time during
the past two days searching, for them.

SUICIDE
J. A. Canterbury's Dead
Body With Throat and
Wrists Slashed Found in
Bath Room of Sons Home.

Dependency caused by family diff
cultes is believed to have been the
cause of the suicide late yesterday OF
j. A. Canterbury, 55, janitor for the
Imperial Irrigation District, who was
found dead from wounds self inflicted
with safety razor blade in the bath
room of his sons home on Commercial
street near Sixth.
The suicide was discovered by Sec
retary McIver and Treasurer Maddux
of the irrigation district this morning
when they went to the Canterbury
home to learn the cause of the janitor's
failure to perform his customary du-
ties around the officer yesterday and
early this morning. They found him
lying in the bath room in such posi-
ton that they were unable to open the
door, and being satisfied that he had
ended his life they notified Coroner
Peterson and Deputy Sheriff Barker,
who broke down the door and removed
the body to Lemons morgue.
Coroner Peterson said that because
of the gaping wounds in the throat
that Canterbury evidently had been
unsuccessful in inflicting fatal
wound upon himself in several at
tempts, the wounds in his throat in
dicating that he had tried for probably
half an hour to cut his throat in a
vital spot, and in doing so had badly
mutilated himself. He first slashed one
wrist in his efforts to kill himself the
coroner believes, and not obtaining
the desired result he cut his throat.
He had been despondent for several
days according to acquaintances and
yesterday afternoon he told Mr.. Mad
duv and others that he believed he
would "end the whole thing" Remon-
strances were unavailing and those to
whom he talked were unable to dis
suade him from his plan, as the sui
eide evidently took place within few
minutes after hi conversations.
Canterbury has been making his
home with his son, Murray Canterbury
an employ of the Southern Trust COM
pany, who left yesterday with his wife
for a vacation trip to Los Angeles and
vicinity where an effort is being made
to locate them. Mrs. Canterbury, the
widow, has been making her home in
the vicinity of Banning for some time
Coroner Peterson will hold an in
quest tomorrow morning at Lemons
undertaking parlors.

ESS PEE SETS
TRAIN RECORD

What is said in railroad circles to
be record in freight train service eff
ficiency has been set by the Southern
Pacific company in the handling of the
heavy cantaloupe shipments from I'M
perial Valley, not single cantaloupe
train having been late since May 27.
From May 27 to July the South
ern Pacific company moved 126 cam
taloupe trains out of Imperial Valley.
and in every instance the train was
on time on arrival at Southern Pacific
terminal points.
In the natural course of railroad op-
Grafton some delays from time to time
can be looked for, and the added fact
that Southern Pacific cantaloupe trains
move on very fast schedule makes
the Southern Pacific company's ac-
complishments of more than ordinary
interest to railroad men.

VIII REPLACE Check Dam As
Soon as Necessary. No Dan
ger of Water Shortage.

Danger of a water shortage in I'M
perial Valley this summer is very re
mote and will be experienced only il
the event that the discharge of thu
Colorado river drops below 5000 sec
ond feet which is the amount required
at this time according to officials OF
the Imperial Irrigation District.
At the present time the river dis.
charge is approximately $4,000 second
feet and with about half the diversion
weir gone the volume of water flow
ing through lockwood Gate is fully
ample for every requirement. 1t is
said that even without the weir the
water would continue to flow through
the gate in sufficient quantity to sup
ply the valley. This statement was
based on the fact that the Alamo chan
mel, which is the main intake of the
Imperial Irrigation District, has been
lowered more than nine feet in the
past two years which permits larger
volume Of water to flow into the dis
tributing system without the need of
raising the level.
With the lockwood Gate holding
back the heavy silt from the bottom of
viz IiFSi dAN S&iioWiHS Viil yIlC ouL
face water to pass into the canals the
irrigation district is saving a large
sum of money annually which other
wise would be spent for dredging the
canals and keeping them free of the
heavy mud.
The irrigation district expects to
start tomorrow on the work of driv-
ing piling in the river preparatory to
eplacing the potion of the diversion
weir which was destroyed during the
flood period. The piling is used as
anchorage for the brush mats of which
the weir is constructed. AS soon as
the water level of the river is lowered
to such point that the weir becomes
necessary to divert water into the
canal system the mats will be dropped
into the channel.
President Nickerson and Secretary
Mclver of the Irrigation District re-
turned yesterday from Los Angeles
where they completed the legal details
for the construction of the weir, clear
ing away all preliminary legal require
ments for the actual construction
