Official Denounces
Use of Organization
Name in Campaigns c

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7. UP)-
John B. Long, general manager of
the California Newspaper associa-
ton, today denounced the use of
the organizations name by press
agents and officials in campaigns
on amendments to be voted upon
at the November election.
The California Newspaper Pub
fishers association is the business
organization of nearly 400 leading
daily and weekly newspapers of the
state" said Long.
1T is non-political and non-profit.
II has come to our attention that
press agents and officials of the
California State Employees associa-
ton, Public Health League Of Cali
fornia and California Recreation
and Conservation Council have used
the name of the California News
paper Publishers association in
connection with their campaigns.
THE newspaper association is
anxious for the public to know that
any such use is both unauthorized
and untrue"

VIOLENCE AGAIN
FLARES IN |. A.
STRIKE CRISIS

LOS ANGELES, Aug 7. U,P) -
Violence broke out today on two
fronts as the strike of $500 garment
workers for higher wages went in
to its third day.
One striker suffered a fractured
Jaw in a melee which resulted
when 400 pickets attacked workers
attempting to enter factories, police
reported.
Twenty five police reserves quell-
ed the disturbance after several
workers and pickets had been in
iured. The broken jaw suffered by
Albert Wengo, 81, was the most
serious casualty.
AT another factory pickets and
workers clashed but the hostilities
were confined mainly to hair pull
ing matches. :.
Scores of pickets were on duty
at a dozen downtown plants with
police patrolling the area.

nation to aid in the marketing OF
beef in the interests of cattle raisers
throughout the United States has
just been issued by the National
Livestock and Meat Board and other

Responding to this call for dis

aid in stimulating a greater con-
sumption of beef throughout the
country.
Similar in scope and magnitude

this new sales program for beef will
be of direct benefit to more than
100000 cattlemen in all parts OF

GEORGE WASHINGTON

In month replete with notable birth
days and anniversaries, February % stands
out in the minds of Americans as the date
of greatest significance, the birthday of
George Washington.
AS a national holiday it is perhaps
second only to the Fourth of July, while as
a matter of fact it is probably an anniver-
sary of even higher Importance, because
without Washington the struggling colo
MES might not have made the Declaration
of independence effective.
Although much that is legendary has
been associated with the life of Washing
ton, due principally to the zeal of Parson
Weems, his early biographer, the main
facts of his inestimable service stand I'M.
impeached, and his fame takes on added
luster with the years.
Leading a poorly trained, i'll equipped
and sometimes mutinous army, Washing
ton kept aflame the fires of patriotism
when a less determined and less capable
commander might have given up in de-
spair. While aid from France finally
turned the scale in favor of the colonies,
without Washingtons genius and heroic
persistence the Continental Army would
have been crushed into submission before
that aid arrived.
1t is well that we should honor his
memory on his birthday and on all other
days, but nothing we may say or do can
add to or subtract from the priceless
heritage epitomized in the deathless name
of Washington.

1t is preposterous for the city council
to think of sales tex when they have not
exhausted all resources to force payment
of taxes from delinquent property owners
The specious argument that property @ gn-
ers cannot pay their taxes is poppycock
They find money to buy automobiles and
other luxuries and what is most reprehen-
sible they come across quickly when the
tax collector from other counties presents
his bill. The Citizen is aware that there
are many property owners who are unable
to do their duty in this respect to the city
and they should be leniently dealt with it
is those who can and will not that deserve
severest censure and should be penalized.

However much President Roosevelt

there is no reason to believe that he will be

DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today AS Taken From
The Files OF The Citizen

There have been no new de-
velopments since last night in
connection with the activities of
prohibition enforcement officers
here yesterday when eight great
big men, armed with great big
guns and carrying a great : big
batch of search warrants, not is
sued in Key West, staged series
of raids and roughneck expedi-
tiOns which were considered by
the law officers and citizens in
general as an outrage on the
community. About rs places were
raided, Is people arrested and
placed in the county jail. Two
men were knocked on the heads
with bottles and dragged to jail
without first aid being given.
Even the one woman taken cap
tive in the raids was taken to
jail handcuffed. At several places
where liquor was not found the
raiding officials became irritat-
ed and proceeded to smash up
the property. After their de-
predations the raiders displayed
such eagerness to get away to
Miami they did not even wait for
commitment papers for those ar
rested. All of the prisoners were
liberated last night by Sheriff
Roland Curry, who said he would
do this if no commitment papers
were presented to him.
DIR. William r. Warren has been
appointed chairman of the Red
Cross in Key West. The other
officers that have been selected
are: Miss Lila Allen first vice
chairman; Mrs. C. R. D. Critten-
den, second vice chairman; Mrs.
Ella Ford. treasurer and Miss
Blanche Heidelbaugh. recording
secretary. All committees have
been formed and some have be-
gun actual work. The production
committee has succeeded in secur-
ing a supply of household supplies
and clothing for needy homes.
AS a result of the great amount
of advertising literature sent out
from Key West and the great in
flux of visitors who have visited
