CAR WORKERS
VOTE STRIKE

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 10. U.P) =
Heralding the possibility of tieup
of all metropolitan street car and
bus lines, traction employees of the
Pacific Electric company voted
overwhelmingly to strike for addi-
tional pay, union officials an
nounced today.
Although the strike vote will not
be announced officially until We'd
nesday, more than two-thirds OF
the unions members signified they
favored walkout, it was said.
The Pacific Electric serves inter-
urban communities, including Hol-
lywood. The union poll was made
among HOO union employees and
400 -unionists. Employees COW
cred by the vote include conduc-
tors, motormen, one-man car oper-
ators, trailer conductors, brakemen,
switch tenders and trolleymen.
Meanwhile, a final showdown ap-
preached in the threatened strike
of traction workers of the Los An
geles railway which serves all city
street car and bus routes. Their
demands for additional pay and a
shorter work week were rejected by
company officials last week but the
strike was delayed until Wednesday
when the company will definitely
state whether it will agree to arbi-
traion. The company, in refusing
union demands, said it could not
meet them "in its present impover-
ished condition"
Pacific Electric officials also re-
fused to meet their employees ul-
timatum which requests a wage oi
53la cents an hour for conductors
and motormen on short runs ano
SO cents for operators on long
hauls, an increase of 2h per cent
over existing scales. Union Off
cials said the controversy started
more than year ago when the
company forced employees to sign
yellow dog" contracts.

The usual charge of a few cents

sary to get these trees moved be-
fore froSts occur and the students
are preparing to wrap the roots
individually for delivery to the
public. Although deliveries will
not be made before Thursday all
persons desiring palo verde trees
for present planting are urged to

ing the number of trees they de-
sire, as the number to be distri-
buted will be somewhat limited On
Thursday of this week the trees
will be delievered to chamber head
quarters and those who have re-
served them may call and get the
number they have requested
THE planting of palo verde
trees is more important this year
than ever before" stated Mrs
Jones today. Despite the fact
that there has been water for trees
for some months, some of the less
hardy palo verde trees have not
grown as could have been desired
1t would be well at this time tC
replace any trees which are OBJ
yiously not doing well. Another
need for palo verdes has arisen due
to the fact that many eucalyptus
umbrella and other kinds of trees
did not weather the drought con-
ditionS. The logical thing for the
property owners to do is to have
all dead trees removed and replace
them with palo verdes. which have
proven their adapta bility to condi-
tions in Imperial Valley by rapic
growth and permanent greennes'
regardless of the water supply. Tht
public should make a survey o.
their gardens and take advantage
of the chambers offer of thest
sturdy trees which are now ready
for planting and available at tht
cost of but q few cents"

President Roosevelt settled back

today awaiting reaction to a new

early, direct action.

that the private companies either
play ball in providing cheap power
or else
The inference was that the gov
ernment would see to it that low
rates we're made available.
Mr.. Roosevelt's pronouncement
came as a climax to a three-day
inspection of the Tennessee valley
Developments tour that con-
vinced him of its future value alone
as a rate bargaining instrument
between the people and private
utilities.
The Chief Executive in setting
forth his views took his cue from
the little city Of Tupelo. the first
in the nation to contract for TVA
power. Holding it up as an ex-
ample to other communities, he
observed:

that may be useful to many other
parts of the naticn, because
peoples eyes are upon you and be-
cause what you are doing here is
going to be copied in every state
of the union before we get through.
We recognize that there will be a
certain amount of-what shall I
say?-rugged opposition to this de-
velopment-but I think we recog-
nize also that the opposition is
fading as the weeks and months
go by, fading in the light of prac-
