DaDis, Labor Secretary Opposes Strikes

Los Angeles, Nov. 1S-James A. Davis, secretary of labor, in an ad- dress at the Labor Temple here last night opposed strikes on the theory they could be averted easily by mutual understanding between labor and capital He defended child labor laws and advocated a strict immigra- tion law.
 Strikes might easily be averted if the committees representing both labor and capital would meet around council tables 60 days before strike he said.
 There is no one who will ques- tion the right of labor to organize. It has the same right as capital to organize.
 'HThe man who advocates cheap labor is not much of an American to my notion of thinking.

and soul to the so-called living wage. It is not American for American to receive just enough to live on. If a man is only to get just enough for his toll to pay all of the bills on Satur- day night, say it is all wrong in our land. I am against the living wage and in favor of the saving wage. There should be enough in the envel- ope each week so that the American family may live as human beings. There should be enough to the chill dren may be educated. There should be enough so the things in life worth living for will not be crowded out"
 He said the Department of Labor had taken a firm stand on the three per cent" law regulating the immi- grants to the United States.

Piggly Wggly Go. Bankrupt;
 } Stores Here

Having sold more stock than groc- cries, James w. Elliott's Manhattan Piggly Wiggly Corporation went to the wall with a loud crash yesterday. Instead of glowing future. several thousand persons who bought stock at the urging of Elliott's high speed ultra-modern salesmen, now see in that company only the prosaic fig ures; liabilities $1.250,00O; assets $35O,OO0.
 An involuntary petition filed by Charles Kuster who claims s4OO; the Torraine Electrical Engineering g Company s2.2O0 and Leo Lamelson $1,500, all of New York, will un- doubtedly affect the Piggly Wiggly stores of this city. It will not how that name and system throughout the South since the Manhattan Piggiy Wigg1y Corporation, which is con trolled by James W. Elliott, has 21 other in Buffalo, Clean and Elmira: three in Bridgeport; 1 in New Haven. and six in New Jersey.
 News to Local Manager.
 August last, the Piggly Wiggly Stores Incorporated. in this city, in number and tour in New Haven were sold by the parent organization of Memphis to James w. Elliott for $33,- o00- Resident Manager Fitzgerald oi Bridgeport declared today that he knew nothing whatsoever concerning the bankruptcy.
 Manhattan Piggly Wiggly is the first Elliott concern to go into the hands of a receiver in bankruptcy. Other ventures in which his organization l James W.

With the excep- tion of the preferred stock of the Daniels Motor Car Company, none of these companies has ever paid a dividend"

 of not more than $4, ,0O0 with

 'SThere is no truth in the re- bort that the Charter Revision

 tiomnent for SC. .0O0,' Mayor Att
 water today said.

 Tt is logical to assume that the committee will need money to conduct It's Investigations as ordered by the electors in the last city election. do not believe that the committee will expend more than S4,000 in its work, If that.

We are de- termined to give the people of the city the best charter that can possibly be drawn up.'
 The mayor said that determination will be made before the next Com 1lOIl COunC1A 4hCSlAAiS 1CA1NAfC IO NiAo appropriation. He indicated that the council would be asked for special appropriation with which to carry on the work. H
