SENDING
MEN To TAKE
COAST JOBS

NEW YORK, July II. W.P)-"Key
men" strikebreakers recruited in
Chicago are being rushed by plane
and train at the rate OF 100 day
to the San Francisco labor war zone
it was said here today.
P. L. Bergoff. private detective
said he sent 100 from Chicago yes.
terday; 100 more were scheduled
to leave today to fill key posts va
Gated by the general Walkout. He
estimated he would dispatch 1000
men to the strike if it lasts week.
Bergoff said his men, who have
served as guards during the recent
disorders at Milwaukee and Akron,
are qualified to step into San Fran
cisco's crippled industrial life as
strikebreakerS."
Each of my men can double in
BRASS he said. Each is peculiarly
qualified to step into some job left
vacant by strikers at moments
notice. Some are motormen, some
conductors, chauffeurs, and num-
Der can fill hotel posts, if neces-
sary."
He said he believed his trained
guards were needed in west coast
area because mo matter how many
national guardsmen and soldiers
they have in the area, there is a
definite need for a group OF men
experienced in handling strikes"
approximately 160 men have been
moved to the coast from eastern
and midwest cities. Bergoff, head
OF an extensive private detective
organization, refused to disclose un-
Ger whose orders he was acting.
CHICAGO, July II. U.H-Gen-
eral headquarters of the Bergoff
Service Bureau, a private detective
agency, today prepared to send a
thousand guards to the San Fran
cisco strike zone.
Orders were awaited from P. L..
Bergoff, now in New York, before
shipping a hundred guards to aug
ment the same number that left
yesterday.
The bureau insisted that the men
were guards to protect life and
property and not strikebreakers.
Whether any of the men would
be sent to the st. Louis-Minneapolis
strike area was not determined.

laying in a supply of water with
cut any further delay. This warn
ing was contained in resolution
adopted at a meeting of the emer-
gency water control committee, held
In the supervisors room at the
court house.
During the meeting rturns on the
QUESTIONABLE sent out through va
rious valley dairies last week to all
owners of stock in the county were
brought in and studied. Members
of the committee were much dis
mayed to notice the large number
of these owners who admitted III
their answers that to the present
they had made no preparations for
the conservation of water for their
stock.
It was following the study Of
these reports that the committee
adopted it's resolution calling upon
all stockowners in the county to
lose no time in making the neces-
sary preparations for the conser-
vation of water.
This can be done in either Of two
ways, it was pointed out. Con-
crete, wood or metal tanks capbale
of holding a two-day supply to be
installed on the ranches, or the
owner should avail himself OF the
opportunity to get rid of Gull and
other stock through the tuberculosis
eradication or drought programs
now in force in the county.
In this manner only the best ana
healthiest of the stock would be
kept and water consumption would
be cut down to a very great extent.

CONTINUAL DRINKING
CHARGED TO HUSBAND

Mary r. Empey, proprietor OF a
beauty shop in the Boulevard Apart
ments, filed suit yesterday in District
Supreme Court for a limited divorce,
charging her husband Sol Empey,
was in the habit of drinking a pint
of whisky daily and that he frequently
beat her.
On one occasion, she told the court.
he pulled her out of the bathtub by
her hair, threw her against the wall
and struck her in the face with a wet
towel. The couple was married Sep
tember 6, 1888, in New York City.
Since that time, Mrs. Empey alleges.
the defendant normally drinks about
a pint Of whisky day and some days
great deal more. with the result that
approximately every 10 days he gets
very drunk and becomes very abusive.
A week ago Mrs. Empey swore out
warrant for her husband she told
the court, and he was convicted and
placed on probation.
The plaintiff states she does not
know her husbands income, put for
some time past he has spent sl00 a
week. The suit was filed through At
torney Andrew Wilson.
