MORE GREEN MELON
i. men FINED

Fines of $50 each were imposed on F..
Katayama and 3. Goishi, Japanese
cantaloupe growers, in Judge May
field s court this morning for picking
and attempting to sell green canta,
loupes. In imposing the fines Judge
Mayfield stated he was inclined to be
lenient on account of this being the
first offense of the parties involved
and there was some doubt as to mali.
cious intent to ship green melons, but
he served notice that he would uphold
the horticultural commissioner office
to the full extent of the law, and flu,
ture violations would be dealt with Sc
verely. The court called attention to
the recent meeting between the horti
cultural commissioner and the grow
ers, which was decided what particular
stage cantaloupes were to be considered
too green. to ship and the growers prom
ised to uphold the horticultural com
missioner and his inspectors. This, he
said, is being done in most cases, and
the commissioner is receiving the
hearty-cooperation of the growers, but
where growers were charged with vic,
lation of the law, the court would up
hold the commissioner.
Charles Urick, charged with attempt
ing to ship green eantaloupes, pleaded
not guilty stating that the cantaloupes
had been placed in a ear without his
knowledge. This case will be heard
in Judge Mayfield's 8 court tomorrow.

CHICAGO, June 14.-Executives of
IL large railroad unions have been au-
thorized to order strike by vote OF
their 100000 members.
Information in railroad union circles
here was that more than 80 percent Of
the vote canvassed favored strike.
Balloting started Sunday and the Of
ficial canvass is expected to be com
plete in time to order the walkout for
July /, or July Is, if the union heads
desire to make use of the strike vote
at that time.
The vote was taken on three propos-
itions:
Whether wage reductions would be
accepted, as have been ordered or ex-
pected from the United States railroad
labor board.
Whether unions would consent to
" farming out - shop work to contract
ors to escape rulings of the railroad
labor board.
Whether unions will accept the re-
vised working rules as set forth by
the labor board.
Most Of the unions which are ballot
ing are connected with the railroad

Plaisted Of San Diego, superintendent
of the bank s branches, testified that
various sums of money were missed at
the bank previous to last July. A
few days before his vacation, Miller
told bank officials it was necessary for
him to 60 to San Diego to visit his
sister, they said. Permission was given
him to do so, and later additional short
ages were discovered, placing him un-
der suspicion, bank officials testified.
Instead of going to San Diego, they
said Miller visited Mexicali, Heber,
Los Angeles, and Catalina, doing con-
siderable gambling in each place.
Confronted with an accusation of en-
bezzlement by officials of the bank in
San Diego last summer, Miller denied
the charge and arranged for confer
ence two days later He failed to keep
the appointment and a warrant was
issued for his arrest, they said. He
was located in Beaumont, Texas, last

George Washington Wettest
of All Ships Big Brewer
Tells Harding
OPERATED BY DRY i. S.
Chairman Lasker Admits it
and Stings Busch as
Kaiser's Friend
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Sale OF
liquors outside the three mile zone on
shipping board steamers and other
ships flying the American flag is legal
the shipping board has decided.
Chairman Lasker made this known
in a letter to Adolphus Busch who
transmitted n letter from his father
president of the Anheuser Busch brew
cry.
The shipping board steamers, Busch
asserted, are "the wettest on the
ocean and passage is being sold with
"thc positive money back guarantee -
that the bars will be opened outside
the three mile limit.
The letter was written on board the
s. S. George Washington and Busch
claimed more liquor was sold on this
vessel, which is the property of the
shipping board, than any vessel on
which he has crossed the Atlantic.
The letter was forwarded to Presi-
dent Harding.
To support his charges, August Busch
presented fac simile reproductions or
the alleged wine list of the George
Washington.
This gave the prices of all kinds of
wine, champagne, beer, cocktails,
Scotch, rye and moOnshine liquor, cog
nae, rum and other beverages "Johnny
Walker' and % Haig and Haig' were
quoted at 20 cents drink, ''while
American moonshine' was listed at 80
cents.
The shipping board s position, which
is based on ruling by its general
counsel, Elmer Schlessinger, is in di-
rect conflict with the ruling of Solicit
or General Frierson of the Wilson ad.
ministration, who held that "the law
follows the flag"
Lasker then asserted that the sale of
liquors on American ships was essential
to their successful operation under
present conditions.
Lasker Denounces Busch
$50 long as Great Britain, Japan,
France, and Germany and other mar
thine nations continue to serve liquors
to American passengers, / am ashamed
to state my experience leads me to be-
lieve there is sufficient number of
Americans who would divert their
trade to foreign flags to the extent
that competition, from profit stand
point, runs heavily against American
ships
Lasker bitterly denounced Busch for
his alleged motives in making charges
against the board.
81 believe you to be thoroughly self
ish, and that you are acting in the hope
of creating public revolt against pro-
hibition so that you may again revive
the sale of your liquors, utterly regard
less of how you might hurt the Ameri-
can merchant marine in creating a sit
uation by which you may profit
Lasker wrote Busch:
1t is of course notorious that AdOl.
phus Busch, who founded your brewery
was possibly the kaiser s closest friend
in America, and that your family for
many years has maintained a castle in
Germany. Your action in any event
will not displease your German friends
whose greatest hope of a restored Ger.
man merchant marine is to hurt Amer,
lea s new born merchant marine.n
