REPORT SHOWS BUSINESS WAS
FAIRLY STABLE IN FEBRUAR

Reports and statistics on econo-
mic conditions gathered from rep
resentative sources throughout the
southern part of the state reveal
that business activity in this area
was fairly stable in February and
in some instances displayed mod
crate Improvement, according to
the monthly summary of business
conditions compiled and published
by the Security-First National bank
of Los Angeles and released today.
In Los Ange:es the aggregate
volume of department store sales
was larger than in January, con-
trary to the usual trend at this
eason. Favorable records weer also
made by firms engaged in whole
sale dry goods, hardware, automo-
bile accessories, and grocery busi-
nesses. While weather conditions
were more conducive to trade dur
ing February than in the preced-
ing month, this advantage was Off
set to some extent by the fewer
number of business days in the for
mer period.
February reports from firms in
major lines of manufacturing de-
noted only slight variation in the
general volume of productive ac-
tivity in contrast with January.
The usual stability was displayed
by the food industries, while sea-
sonal Improvement characterized
the furniture trades. In some in
stances, automobile tire manufac-
turers were able to exceed the US
ual expectation for February but
for the most part these concerns
operated at levels 10 to is per cent
below a year ago, the survey re-
ports, continuing in part as fol-
lows:
Apparently reflecting the restric-
ted volume of building now being
carried on, cement iron and steel
producers and the construction in
dustries generally continued to be
relatively inactive. However, a IA
vorable showing was made in con-
strudtion employment which in
creased 81 per cent from December
to January according to the latest
official data. February building

The assembly today approved the
Hornblower bill setting up machin-

The bill provides % delegates

manner presidential electors are
named-by a vote of the state as

Date of the election would be
the same as the date of the August

date, in which event the question
would then appear on the ballot.

The accident came after the 60

Triplett forced his own race all the
way, taking the lead at the start
and gaining on all entries until
he was a full quarter of a lap

held his lead until the end. 1t was

the Dufheld Union Tenth Ward
school Of the City of Detroit, and
were refused on account of their
color This constituted a test case
and accordingly Elijah Willis and
Joseph Workman applied for q
mandamus to coerce the Board OF
Education of Detroit to admit their
children TO the school in which dis
trict they resides The citizenship
OF Elijah Willis was contested on
the grounds that having resided
in Canada for number of years
and having sought protection pre-
vously under the British flag. he
no longer could claim any rights
belonging TO citizen of the Unit
cd States. Not to be outdone,
Elijah advised Workman 10 fight
the ease himself. He realized that
an issue was AT stake which was
10 determine the future status OF
the Negro in Michigan.
The money to prosecute the case
was supplied by Elijah out of his
own pocket The case was heard
before the Supreme Court of
Michigan on May :, 1869, and de-
cided by chief Justice Thomas NJ
