LOS ANGELES, Cal. (By MaiD.-
Mrs. Anna L. Saylor, director of So
cial welfare, reported to Governor c.
c. Young recently. Concerning the
terrible conditions under which a
great number of Mexicans live in this
city of prosperity" her report reads
in part as follows
California must stamp out the
ground rental system which enables
inscriptions landlords to receive as
much as $500 a year income from a
single acre of ground leased to ignor-
ant Mexicans."
/ The survey of conditions among
Mexicans shows that "nany of them
live huddled together in rude shacks
on such acres. These shacks are
crudely constructed of tin cans and
old boards. And at Belvedere Gar
dens, 'Peon Capital of the United
States the average is II to 26 chill
dren in each house"
In TINS ana similar sections lnveS-
tigated, the director reported, large
families are living on almost moth
ing"
Conditions need to be improved
also at institutions, schools and jails
populated largely by Mexicans, the
report stated.
The undersigned has been over the
ground mentioned above, distributing

Communist Party, and he knows that
the abundance" in Los Angeles and
vicinity is of the nature described
above.

WEST VIRGINIA
COAL co. Gets
AN INJUNCTION
Writ Would Prohibit
Picketing, Meetings
I'm a Worker Correspondent

WHEELING, w. Va. (By maiD. -
Triadelphia, the scene of a recent dis
play of working class solidarity, re-
ceived another blow from the open
shop operators when the Elm Grove
Coal company was granted an injunc-
ton in the circuit court at Wheeling,
which takes away all the rights OF
the miners by prohibiting picketing,
meetings or speeches that will in any
way interfere with the operation Of
the non-union mines.
The attorney for the coal company,
in a carefully worded statement, pre-
pared for the court, declared that the
pickets affect the production Of coal
-at the times. The statement, which
took an hour and half to read and
had drowsy effect on the judge,
asked the Judge to prohibit ESQ it
seemedy the miners from doing any
thing but peaceful breathing"
During the reading of the state
m mt, officials Of the coal company,
court officials and police officers,
seated on the same bench, winked at
each other and seemed well pleased
with the severe injunction which will
prevent the miners from doing any
thing to improve their working con-
ditions.
At the conclusion of the appeal for
the injunction, the attorney, reading
the statement, raised his voice and
shouted, "In the name of the Elm
Grove Coal company. I ask you to
grant this injunction"
The judge, aroused from his sleep,
with a stroke of his pen, granted the
injunction, the first in West Vir-
ginia.
This is the justice the workers, and
now especially the miners, get from
the capitalist courts. IKE.

ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY
EXPERIENCED DRIVERS
State Police Officials Say Those Who
Have Training Lead In Accidents

Recklessness and speed combined
with drinking of liquor are blamed
by the State highway police for the
tremendous increase in the number
OF fatal accidents on highways
throughout November. According to
the report of the State highway DO
lice for the past month, there were
nine deaths as compared with two
for November a year ago. While the
number of fatalities this year is still
six under those for the same period
last year, there having been As for
the first eleven months This year as
compared with 81 last year, if the
fatalities increase this month as thew
did last month, the record for the
entire year of 1928 may show a
greater number of fatalities than in
1927.
The drivers who have had two
years or more experience are charg-
ed with 914 accidents. Those from
one to two years experience Sc.
those from six to twelve months. Is.
and those less than nine months, 21.
In the opinion of C. c. Reynolds,
of State highway DO
lice, statistics show that exceeding
the speed limit, combined with reck-
lessness and drinking may be direct
ly charged with the large number
Of accidents and fatalities. In the
past three weeks, several fatalities
have been due to some of these three
things. Many times accidents have
taken place where the driver has
had one or two drinks, but not
enough to accuse him of being
trunk. Statistics assembled in Della
ware. according to Mr.. Reynolds,
show that to increase the speed lin

For the second time within a

Last spring, when Mr.. Frank

gan his active service, he met with
numerous instances where persons
claimed to have purchased space in
various publications or contributed
toward them under the impression
that they were association enter
prises. In several instances the
association was able to locate in
dlviduals using this spurious means
of securing business and on threat

large extent activities of this nature.

resentative of the association, and
who does not solicit advertising in
any manner, has again been inform

Less DIVORCES, MORE
MARRIAGES In STATE
The Year 1927 Shown Just Op-
pOsite Condition In Nation As
A Whole.

According to figures of the De
partment of Commerce there was a
decrease in the number of marriages
and an increase in divorces in the
United States in 1927 over 1926. In
Delaware, however, there was an in
crease in marriages and falling off
in divorces.
The number of marriages in Della
ware during 1927 was 1854 compared
with 1109 in 1926. The per cent of
increase was Al.
There were 163 divorces in Della
ware in 1927 compared with POI in
1926, a decrease of 1913 per cent.
There were two annulments in 1927
and two in 1926.
In the United States in last year
there was approximately a ratio Of
one divorce to every ten marriages.
The estimate of this ratio was
made in the census bureau prelimi-
nary figures for 1927 on marriage
and divorce. The figures indicated
a steadily rising divorce rate accom-
panied by decline in marriages.
Divorces granted during the year
numbered 192,037, an increase of IL
1874 or 6.2 per cent above the prev
ious high year, which was 1926.
Marriages for 1927 numbered 12O.694
or 1880 fewer than in 1926.
Since the estimated population of
the United States on July 1, 1927. |
was 11S,62S,0O0, approximately a |
and half greater than the
III 7,136,O00 population estimated for
1926, the marriage rate was shown
to have reached a new low figure at
the same time that the divorce rate
was making a new top. The number
Of marriages was 1912 per 1000 of
population in 1927, whereas in 1926
It was 1927, while the divorce rate
was 1.62 per 1000 population in 1927
against 1.54 in 1926.
Aside from the phenomenon in
sending up the Nevada marriage
'ate, the palm for supremacy in the
arger number of marriages went to
which had in 1927 1876
marriages per 1000. Florida had a
ate of 1876 and Maryland one of 1877,
While the lowest rates were attain
d in Delaware-4.7; and in Wiscon- :
on, 5.8.
