MEXICAN LABOR UNION DISOWNS
CONNECTION WITH RADICALS

name Of this society and in this
way dsorganize us.
"In organizing this society, VIC
have conformed with the laws Of
California and Of the United States,
drawing our Articles of Incorpora-
tion and forwarding same to Sacra-
mento, these Articles Of Incorpora
tion, as can be seen from copies OBJ
tainable here in this office, setting
forth our purposes.
"This society is formed very
much on 4 similar basis as other
associations, and our object is to
protect Mexican laborers as much
as possible, but, of course, in con
formity with the laws of this coun.
try, for which we have the highest
respect. Our ideal is to better the
living conditions of members of
this society, protect them and help
them in their difficulties, princi-
pally in matters connected with the
payment of their wages for day la
bor or of their compensation for
contract work, from which contracts
during a number of years, our peo-
pie have experienced considerable
trouble in getting full payment for
the work performed by them. This
is due not only to hard economic
conditions of farmers and packers,
but also, unfortunately often due to
lack of understanding and cO-opera-
ton between the farmers and pack
ers and the Mexican workers and,
in some instances at least, due to
lack Of honesty on the part of
farmers and packers, which can be
shown by the records of the Labor
Department now in charge of Mr..
Could.
"Please feel assured that it is
our desire at all times to remain
peaceful, law abiding residents, and
we wish at all times to work in har-
mOny with all authorities as well as
the employers of our people in this
county, and, furthermore, that we
will glady cooperate with YOU in
any way possible in smoothing out
any difficulties that may arise, and
we too would gladly see any agi-
tators that try to commit unlawful
acts punished in accordance with
the law, as such individuals are
harmful to the prestige and good
name of this society, as we'll as a
handicap to public peace.
every truly yours,

Considered one of the outstanding
numbers of the evening was 1.-The
Blue Danube,' (Strauss) sung by Il
mixed octctte. The splendid blend
ing of the voices, the balance of the
parts, and the fine rhythm of this
charming Strauss waltz song made
this selection Of remarkably fine
quality. Members of the octette in
cluded Miss Martha Ryerson, Mrs.
NJ. H. Huev, Mrs. Julia Dovey, Mrs.
Pauline Reynolds, Roland Nerbo-
Wig, Ray Johnson, Joe Hallowell and
w. G. Cheverton.
The soul-stirring beauty Of Han

of the evening. The male voices
were also most effective in "The
Clang of the FORGE descriptive
concert number of striking rhythm.
The evening came to a climax
with the majesty of "The Inflam-
matus (Rossini) sung by the entire
chorus of 80 voices with Miss Ada
Hickory showing rare ability as the
soprano soloist. 4 generous share
of applause given by the audience
showed its appreciation of Miss
Hickory's splendid voice.
Perhaps the most sincere tribute
of the evening was the refusal of
the audience to leave after the vel
vet curtains had closed across the
stage. until Mr.. and Mrs. Canton
compelled by the continued ap'
plause, appeared again to receive

their efforts to establish choral

the welfare of its members:
"We have been informed a mum.

two days, from which letters it ap-
pears that this organization, The
Mexican Labor Union Of Imperial

"lt also appears that some indi-

some laborers, and, we are not sure,

ranch in an effort TO prevent the
