Woman Attorney
Fauors Amendment

Attorney Rosalind Good nj h
Bates, member of the Los Angeles
county bar, visited the valley today
in the interest of constitutional
amendment No. SO which will be
presented to voters of the state next
fall.
The amendment provides for the
appointment of judges by the gov
ernor from a group of three select
ed by committee representing the
state bar and the legislature, the
three so named to be chosen from
a civil service list.
The attorney pointed out that 48
of the so superior court judges in
Los Angeles county were appointed
to office instead of being elected
and asserts that the amendment is
designed to bring about appoint
ment based on merit rather than
political Influence.

Asserts Auto
Was Defective

Damages of $437.10 are asked in
a complaint filed today by Lola. M.
Seume against Roy H. Womack.
Plaintiff alleges in this action
that she bought an automobile from
the defendant which failed to per-
form those functions for which it
had been manufactured. Upon rep
resentation of this fact to the de-
fendant he agreed to put the ma
chine in condition to operate prop
erly.
On September 9, 1882, the COM
plant alleges, the plaintiff belieV-
ing that the car was in fit con-
dition to be driven, took a trip to
San Diego. Enroute to that city the
gear shifting apparatus failed to
function properly and plaintiff was
unable to operate the same and by
reason of this mechanical imper-
fection the car was wrecked.
Plaintiff states that she rescind-
ed the contract with the defendant
and demanded the restoration of
S437.l0 paid on the contract with de-
fendant but the latter has refused
to remit this money to her.

fruit in California and Arizona un-
der the national citrus marketing
agreement, effective January Z,

tribution committee as the first
step toward national stabilization.
Under the national agreement
authority, the committee must de =
termine weekly shipments of each
variety of citrus fruit grown in the
two states beginning week from

market areas. The first includes

Obispo, including all of Nevada
markets except Reno and all of
Arizona.
The second area includes all
other marketing areas of conti-
mental United States and Canada.
Proximity of area l to the pro-
duction districts necessitated spe-
cial treatment, the committee de-
cided. Thus fruit allocated to area
l cannot be shipped into area 2, or
vice versa.
The distribution committee will
allot to each shipper, including in
dividual growers for whom a pro-
rate basis has been established, the
quantity o. each variety of Or
anges and grapefruit which may be
sent to market during any prora-
ton period.
The distribution committee has
selected T. H. Powell, Los Angeles
to serve as chairman; j. A. Stew
ards, Redlands, vice chairman; w.
C. Frackelton, Los Angeles, secre-
tary. and Bruce Mcdaniel, Red
lands, legal counsel. Other men,

possibly by a second cold wave

The cold brought intense suffer-

Deaths from exposure and accidents
directly attributed to the weather
totaled more than $50 since the

Another tug was driven ashore and

Gen. Sadao Araki, japanese War
Minister, yesterday threatened an
immediate extension of Japan's rob-
Der war against China and armed in
tervention against the Soviet Union.
He announced the intention of jap
anese imperialism to attain its "as-
pirations" dmperialist robber aims
by striking aside those who stand in

of the blood and iron policy of Jap
anese Imperialism was made as a.
Japanese force pushes forward to the
Soviet border and troop notifications
are being completed within striking
distance Of Jehol Province and North
China.
While not directly mentioning the
resumption of diplomatic relations
between China and the Soviet Union,
Araki's statement reflected all the
venomous rage Of Japanese imperial
ism against this resumption OF nor
NAL relations, broken off by the Nam
king Government several years ago.
In his attempts to whip up the
vilest national chauvinisn1 in support
Of the imperialist war-mongers, AraN

and religious superstitions Of the de-

that the year 1888 would "be lucky"

"The Year Of the Cock means
that everything can be accomplish-
ed. II is fraught with great sig
nificance for Japan. The celestial
light Is guiding Jaoan toward ex-
pansion. The first year OF the
reisn Of Emperor Jimmu, founder
OF the nation, was also the Year OF
the Cock. II Is no wonder. there
fore, that the coming year radiates
hope and gives promise Of the de-
velopment Of the Japanese empire"
The general did not mention that

talist world in an acute crisis, which
Is especially sharp In Japan.
Ony the firm peace policy Of the
Soviet Union, backed by the growing

Talk Organizations;
Boss Gets Scared

NEW YORK CITY-Since the staes
Of the crisis Gertner's Restaurant at
48th st. and Seventh Ave. has cut
wages three and four times. The
boss increased the hours from 10 to
u a day. The workers, beginning TO
learn that there was no end to wage
cuts and Speed-up, began to talk
about union as the only solution to
stop any further wage cuts. IN the
meantime a stool-pigeon informed
the boss that there was talk about
an organization. The next day all
Of the bosses were in the place.
I can't forget the fear they got
when they heard about the organiza-
ton talk. Together with the bosses
were two managers and they were
looking around and asking some of
the help to find out who is the
leader. The place was kept in terror
that whole day.
The bosses realize how powerful
the workets will be when they are
united. If only the workers realized
as much what powerful strength
they have, it would be only short
time until we improved our condi-
ton 100 per cent. I hope every
worker realizes this or it will only
be short time until we have to work
for nothing.

HALT ATTACK ON
N. Y. CAB DRIVERS
Put Off Enforcement
of Vicious Code

NEW YORK. - The fight being
conducted by the cab drivers of the
city against The vicious new taxicab
code has forced the Tammany Board
Of Taxicab Control to temporarily
postpone putting it into effect. Hot
elmer, the chairman of the board, is
trtrying the maneuver Of applying the
code first to small section of the
independent owners who are operat-
ing cabs at slightly higher rate, 50
as to divide the independents and
then continue the attack on the rest
of the hackmen.
The new code IS designed to
strengthen the monopoly of the big
corporations, to drive large numbers
of the small cabmen out Of business
and to place all taxi drivers more
completely under police control, thus
greatly widening the avenues OF po-
lice graft. The fight against the
code has been conducted by a rank
and file movement in which the mill
tant Taxi Workers Union has played
leading role.
Over the New Year weekend many
small cab operators fleets have been
seized by the cab manufacturers for
non-payn,ent Of notes. The cab
drivers are also being hit hard by
low bookings due to the crisis, and
thousands of them are In danger of
losing their jobs and being black
listed. The terminal drivers especially
are having tough time of it on the
single shift, which means they have
to work from IL to 1S hours a day
to bring in the minimum of SO in
bookings.
Tonight the Taxi Workers Union
will hold meeting at $50 at its
headquarters, 80 East 18th St., Room
222 Members and other cab drivers
are urged to attend and join in the
fight against the new code, the black
list, the long hours and miserable
pay.

against Filipinos by denying them
any kind Of relief.
Filipino workers are being thrown
in wholesale numbers out Of their
iobs on American ships, speakers
pointed out at the meeting. In their
attempts to divide Filipino and AM

the shipping bosses are firing Fill
pinos and replacing them with Am
ericans; but at the same time are
continuing to cut the wages and liv-
ing conditions of both.
Adopt Program.
The 100 at the meeting adopted the
aim of uniting all unemployed Fill
pinos in the broad mass struggle for
immediate relief and for unenlploy-
ment insurance, paid by he employ
e-s and government.
When some outsider got up ard
said that the unemployed we're "a
bunch of parasites" the unanimous
indignation of the assembled work
ers forced him to get out In hurry.
This is said TO be the first orgsti-
zation in which Filipino workers In
New York have united to struggle
in their own interests for relief and
against discrimination, hand-in- hand
with all workers, colored and white,
in the Unemployed Councils.

will be next Thursday, 8 pm, at Ct
