Blamed for Discharge
Of Union Members
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.-Paul
Gregory. business agent for the
United Welders, Cutters and Help
ers' Union. said today that loo
welders at the California Shipbulld-
ing Yards on Terminal Island
planned to quit their jobs because
some of their members had been
discharged for failure to pay A. F. L..
BoilermakerS Union dues.
Shipyards officials said the num-
Der of welders laid off was negligible,
but recalled that under a truce
signed by Karl " Morris. Welders'
president, and o. P M Chief Sidney
Hillman. the welders were to rein
state themselves in the good graces
of the A. F. L.
John A. McCone. general manager
of the California Shipbuilding Co,
which employs $4,000 men, said he
would confer later today with Mr..
Gregory and with E. V. Blackwell.
local president of the Boilermakers'
Union
Company spokesmen said they ex-
pected little if any progress to be
made at these conferences and re-
ferred to Mr. Gregory's announce
ment as another development in
the long fight, and it's the same old
fight
Mr.. Gregory said the welders had
not approved the Hilman agreement
and would not pay their A. F. of L.
dues.
we want to work peacefully but
since our men are being discharged
because of A. F. l.. discrimination
there is nothing to 90 but quit work, :"
he declared.
In this national emergency we,
can't strike but there is no law that
compels us to work. California ship
yards eventually would replace us,
anyway"
Mr.. Gregory said the welders had
no grievances against other ship
yards in the Los Angeles harbor
area. California shipyards' contracts
are chiefly for Maritime Commission
freighters.

PROBLEMS DISCUSSED
Cooperation With Police Is A Necessity

No arrests have been made for
illegal double parking, and the city
police have attempted in friendly
ways to acquaint the motorist with
the problem which confronts them.
Thus, the motorist, too, should in
a friendly way listen to the police
and assure them Of their whole
hearted cooperation. Policemen
are friends Of the people, they pro-
tect the peoples interests at all
times. and they do not relish the
idea Of making arrests. They are
asking for the motorists coopera-
ton and they are entitled to that
in a friendly way.
II all motorists will bear in mind
that this Is a state law, and that
this law must eventually be en-
forced regardless of whom 1t hits,
they will find that cooperation will
settle a difficult problem, and the
feeling then will be one of salts
faction for all concerned. Give this
matter some careful thought and
set an example for other motorists,
then you will be working for a
better city.

During the past week the Grey
Eagle Gazette announced that that
village had received from the high
way department letter calling to
their attention the law on parallel
parking. According to the an
nouncement the Main Street Of the
village Of Grey Eagle will be mark
ed for parallel parking to comply
with the law, which provides that
all vehicles must be parked on q
state highway parallel to the curb.
Thus it can be seen that par
allel parking is a state law where
state or national highways run
through cities. This law must be
enforced where parallel parking is
a necessity and there is no alter
native.
Main and Third Streets in Sank
Centre come under the provisions
of this law and parallel parking
must be enforced. However, on
all other streets of the city angle
parking is permitted. So those
who cannot park parallel have the
alternative Of going to another
street.

Fire Chief
Talked About
Fire Hazards
Called Attention of
Students To Fire
Prevention Week

Fire Chief George Fish in a talk
before the school students in the
new high school auditorium Mon
day afternoon, called their atten-
ton to Fire Prevention Week,
October 5th to 18th. He stated
that the President Of the United
States called the nations attention
to fire prevention by issuing a
proclamation.
The annual national loss through
fire during the year Of 1910 was
$286, 000, 900, and ten thousand lives
lost, said Mr.. Fish. Fire proven
ton, in my opinion" he said,
Should be 1855 days a year. Fires
do not burn for only one week"
In calling the attention Of the
boys and girls to the fact that they
too have an important part in fire
prevention, he stated that some
Of them, no doubt, will see ashes
dumped in a wooden box in a kit
chen or wood shed, or they may
see a chimney built so that It can
be used In two rooms, sometimes
being used only in one room, the
other chimney or stove pipe hole
being covered with paper, some
times without flue stop. He call
ed their attention to these and
many other fire hazards.
Advice to the students in mat
tiers pertaining to fire prevention,
which come to their attention, was
that they contact the Chief Of the
Fire Department or Charles Mill
err, and explain what they have
found. All complaints, he said, are
confidential.
Every chief Of fire department
Is compelled by law to report all
fires within his area. This report
must be made to the fire marshal,
so that investigation will reveal
the greatest hazards. Cigarettes
are a hazard, he said. Continuing
he told the students that twenty
percent Of our fires are started by
cigarette smokers.
Chief Fish asked the children to
tell their parents about fire pre-
vention, so they too will think
about it and make efforts to elm
mate hazards and cut fire to a
minimum.

really becomes acute, and should
the firen siren blow or should 1t
be necessary to take out the am
bulance, parking conditions would
be a serious menace and there is
a possibility that someone may be
hurt, or the fire department or
would be delayed in its
effort to reach It's destination
quickly.
In last weeks Herald, we
stated that double parking II
permitted only II q driver re-
mains I'm the car, however, we
must add that that Is for taking
on and letting OF passengers.
But when parking space Is
available at the curb, no veh-
icle can be parked double.
Last week Friday in an investi-
cation it was found that six cars
were parked illegally, when park
ing space for about fifteen vehicles
was available on both Main and
Third Streets. This situation can
be renedied by the motorists, who
can cooperate with the police de-
partment in their effort to enforce
the law.
