JOHNSON
ATTACTED
BY R0LPH
Governor Says Treasurer
Attempted To Dictate
To Him.
OFFICIAL REPLIES
Intimates He will Seek
Nomination To Succeed
ROlph.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. IT. U.P)-
Governor Rolph today issued a
scorching statement aimed particu-
larly at State Treasurer Charles G..
johnson, bitter critic of the Rolph
administration, for attempting to
dictate how the state government
should be run.
estate Treasurer johnson COM
mitted the mistake two years ago
of thinking that when the people
elected me they made him COVER
nor" said Rolph.
early IN my administration I
pointed out his error and since then
he has been unable to see any good
in my administration.
Finance Director Vandegrift has
publicly accused Treasurer Johnson
of having kept huge sums of the
state money in banks on terms fa-
vorable to the banks, but IMPROVE
dent SO far as the state is con-
cerned. The state legislature might
inquire into Johnson's dealings and
relations with banks.
Aiming at me through Vande-
grift, the political snipers have been
shooting at Vandegrift. He is quite
able to defend himself, but I have
told him not to be diverted by these
attacks from the important task of
preparing the buGget for the legis-
lature."
Indicating that Treasurer John
son hoped to become candidate
for governor in 1894, Rolph con-
tinued.
Midway in a governors term all
who are publicly or secretly nursing
an ambition to succeed him, to-
gether with the rag-tag and bobtail
of politicians, finally despairing Of
Jobs or favors from his administra-
ton, find a common interest in de-
flaming him. Demands for legis-
lative investigation are standard
routine tactics in that situation.
Dismissal of Colonel Garrison
and his assistant, James I. Herr,
from their places in the public
works department was the signal for
The inflammatory fireworks this
season."
SACRAMENTO, Oct. IT. U.P)-
Climaxing a bitter quarrel with
Governor Rolph that was famed
to white heat by an exchange of
statements, State Treasurer Charles
G. Johnson today virtually an
nounced his candidacy for COVER
nor in 1884.
Johnson was one of the strong
est supporters of Rolph during the
governors 1890 primary campaign.
I'm all probability this matter
today will cause me to decide
whether I shall offer the state of
California the benefit of my 18
years in public service" said john
son.
Were I to run for governor,
health permitting, there is one
thing the people of the state can
| be certain of, and that is 1 will al
ways put state business before
pleasure
Johnson asserted he has never
had a desire to be governor but
the situation in California at the
present time "calls for stronger
men than are trying to handle
state affairs"

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - Pres

United Press today that half the

He believes industrial manage

Industry must accept that phil

get this-the land in dispute is
so isolated that neither nation

that the winner can't get to
after they have won.
Chile has had five presidents

each unemployed family, a pint of
grade A milk day for each child of
unemployed parents, free boots and
shoes on demand for all unemployed

HEAR DUMPING
CHARGES

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Dump-
ing of electric light bulbs and cement
were described by witnesses before
Customs Commissioner F. x. A. Eble
this week.
Big electric companies said Japan
has poured into the United States so
many Christmas tree lights that
Americans have quit making them.
M. |. Sloan, General Electric, said it
costs more for materials and labor
here than the Japanese final selling
price. He said his company made
100000 of these lights early this
year and had sold none, because Of
inability to meet the Jananese price.
Testimony on cement was that
Great Britain lays cement down here
at price American manufacturers
cannot meet. Labor cost in American
plants was given as 81 cents bar
rel; the British cost was given as 40
cents for complete manufacture and
packing.

CZechOslOvakian Steel
Company Puts $4,000
On 40-HOur Week

Prague, Czechoslavia. A large
Czechoslovakian iron and steel COM
pany, the Ceskomoraavska-Kolben
Danek, A. S., of Prague, introduced
the forty-hour week. The eight-hour
day is worked from Monday to Fri
day, inclusive.
The company now employees 10000
persons. Because of the decrease in
the demand for steel products, the
company dismissed about 1000 Turing
the early part of the year. The man
agement then decided to shorten
hours to avoid the necessity of fur
ther reduction in the number of en-
ployes which it was claimed the con-
stant decrease in trade would make
inevitable.
The Bratislava city council intro
duced the forty-hour week in munich
pal undertakings. This gave work to
16 per cent of the unemployed in the
city.
