IMPROVEMENTS
IN LOS ANGELES

their recent letter shows. They are
also glad they are Irish. Their letter
in part reads as follows:
A project to make Los Angeles a
great producing center has been star
ted 1t may develop into second Pitts
burg. According to capitalists and
members of Congress the San Juan Ba
sin Development company proposes
to build a railroad 113 miles long part
ly in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico and will establish direct con-
nection from the cokingl coal district
i of the San Juan basin to Los Angeles.
Halt a dozen industrial and CONNER
cial developments promise to grow out
of getting a railroad through. First
is a steel mill that will cost $25, 000-
900 and iron-smelter and steel mills
and also bringing 100000 acres of
land into cultivation. An $8,000,000
industry for Burbank is in a town IL
miles from here. 1t comprises units
for producing rubber tires and will
give employment to 5000 persons max
ing an addition to it's population of
$4,000 residents
New Porcelain CO.
Mr.. Kirk has joined forces with the
Mead Co. and will build large por-
celain ware factory, making bath tubs,
and general sanitary wares.
1t is going to be one of the largest
and most complete institutions in the
United States. Despite the terrible
lessons of the world war it seems that
labor has not yet learned that wealth
cannot be arbitrarily created. The
peak of high wages was passed months
ago, yet here in Los Angeles union
printers and tailors are going on a
strike for more wages. According to
cond tons one dollar will now buy as
much as .$1.68 would IS months ago
and the Unions believe their wages
can advance while the price of every
thing is coming down. They think
they are strong enough that the en-
plcyers must pay the wages they de-
nand or be driven out Of business.
There is but one way to get more
wages and that is they must produce
more.
Scrambled eggs.
Bertha PoIak was up for violating
probation after disturbing the peace.
Judge Keathing asked her if she had
anyth 'ng to say. eyes, I have. You
think you are a Judge; you are only
a dog catcher" Before the court at
PENDANTS could reach her she snatched
an egg from her satchel and struck
the judge on the head with it was
literally spread over the rest of his
body AS the judge tried to dodge Mrs.
Polak hit him with another egg and as
he tried to hide behind his desk
third egg landed ON the back of his
neck. Then she was seized and led
away. The Judge kept his temper and
laughingly said that he felt like an
omelette, we'll done. Mrs. Polak was
sentenced to pay a fine of $3.50 or
serve $50 days in Jail.
