K. M. ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 REV. NAPOLI Pastor First Ind GOUND BREAKING EXERCISES OF FIRST INDEPENDENT CHURCH A NOTABLE OCCASION. On last Sunday at the site of their new church edifice, corner of 18th and Paloma Streets, in the presence of more than 1000 persons was enacted the solemn and impressive ceremony of "ground breaking," thus bringing to a reality the consumption of the movement which brought into existence in this city the First Independent Church of Christ. Everything was carried out in a highly creditable manner and the memberbs and friends of this body are deserving of the highest credit for this auspicious occasion. Seated on the platform on this history-making occasion were Rev. E. W. Kinchen, who acted as Master of Ceremonies; the Rev. Doctor H. D. Prowd, speaker of the day; Bishop Phillips of the C. M. E. church; Rev. A. Lively, of the New Hope Baptist church; Rev. E. E. Lightner, of the Congregational church; Rev. Anderson of the C. M. E. church; Deacon Allen of the Second Baptist church; the pastor, Dr. N. P. Greggs; the choir, trustees, officers, and many other notables in the religious life of this city. The program began at 3 o'clock p. m., with singing by the choir, after which the pastor introduced the Rev. E. W. Kinchen as Master of Deacon Allen of the Second Baptist church. Rev. E. E. Lightner read the scripture lesson for the Ceremonies, after which the divine blessing was prayed for by occasion. Miss Louvenia Hickman then delivered an address of welcome. Her splendid effort was indeed a brilliant one and the church is to be congratulated in having among its flock such talent as they have. After singing by the choir, Dr. H. D. Prowd, the speaker of the day, was introduced. Now, the good Dr. Prowd furnished much food or thought in his very appropriate discourse on this occasion, as he in his own inimitable manner, showed the grandeur of those who build houses of worship. There are no edifices to compare. His address was interpersed with humor and wit, and the vast audience appreciated every word of the same. At the conclusion of his address, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Phillips, was presented to the audience by the pastor. So they just must have bishop to add grace and dignity to the occasion, was the sally of R. rGeggs. Dr. Anderson, pastor of the M. E. church, offered prayer, invoking the divine blessing incident to the breaking of the ground, after which Rev. N. P. regges, the pastor, with a large stick in his hands, by sinking the deep into the ground, was the first one to break the ground. Other officers followed in turn, the trustees, deaconesses, etc. Roland, the ringest man, and the first MUTILA The California Eagle shovel full of earth, and was followed by members and friends of the church, who had been provided with miniature shovels for the occasion. The collection was lifted in a The Collection The collection was lifted in a novel way. A huge iron kettle was suspended in the old-fashioned way, and the word was passed to keep the pot boiling, and by this means an offering of more than $500.00 was received. The benediction was announced, and thus ended the ground breaking exercises for the First Independent church. The idea of the Kettle Collection, which was novel in every way, and the little spades carried by the lady trustees and deaconesses, was conceived in the fertile brain of Mrs. J. H. Shackelford, who is an inspiration to her sister workers at all times, because of her quick wit an dnautical adaptability. History of the, First Independent Church The church was organized October 3rd, 1915, by about fifty members formerly of the First A. M. E. church, and Rev. N. P. Greggs was chosen as the pastor of the same. They have met since that time in Odd Fellows' Hall, and at other churches on special occasions. In this time they have raised more than $6,000.00, and gained a membership in the neighborhood of 450 members. The new edifice at Paloma and 18th will cost about $13,000.00. The officers of the church are: Geo. A. Beavers, clerk; Mrs. B. E. Prentice, treasurer; Trustee Board: J. H. Shackleford, chairman; F. H. Crumbly, G. W. Whitley., J. H. Prentice, T. J. Hooper, C. J. Smith, Mrs. Nannie Loving, Addie Hooker and P. J. Alexander; N. P. Greggs, pastor; Deaconesses: Mesdames Maggie Whitley, chairman; Mrs. Alexander, vice-chairman; Mrs. Biggs, secretary; Mrs. Shackleford, treasurer; and Mesdames Hooper, Wright, Moore, Pool, Harris, Motley, Anderson, and Evans; Auxiliary Deaconesses: Mrs. Colton, Mrs. Felix, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Boardley, Mrs. Petties, Mrs. Peteits. Equal Rights Sunday, Oct. 1, Leet All Our Churches Observe. Boston, Mass., Sept. 18, 1916. The National Equal Rights Congress appeals to all the clergy and churches to observe Sunday, Oct. 1, as Equal Rights Sunday, and then to have prayer and exhortation for the success of the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress to be held in the John Wesley Zion church, Washington, D. C., Oct. 4 and 5, and Annual Meeting of League, Oct. 6. The League requests that a service or part of a service be used to ask God's blessing in the Race's effort for equality of rights, and as God helps those who help themselves, that the pastor and a layman be sent as delegates. San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 30. 1916 A View of the Platform at the Ground Breaking Ceremonies of The First Independent Church on last Sunday MUST PAY UP Our collector, Mr. J. R. Manning, is authorized to call on all delinquent subscribers to this paper. We must insist that they pay up or the paper will be discontinued. While some of the reports of our Mr. Manning do not reflect any great credit on the honesty of some of our subscribers, we are hopeful and we know the great majority of them are all right. FIRE CASES DELAY OF NEGRO MOTION PICTURE The "Trooper of Company K," an all-star Negro photoplay produced by the Lincoln Motion Picture Co., and booked at the New Angelus Theatre for Sept. 30 to Oct 4, will be delayed for a short time. On Monday night the laboratory in which the films were being developed and printed, was practically destroyed by fire, as reported by the daily newspapers of Tuesday, the 26th. The fire damaged a few scenes of this picture and will cause the necessary delay of retakes. In consequence of this delay the company has decided to add even more scenes and make it a three-part feature, instead of a two-part drama. It will be shown at the New Angelus Theatre at an early date. The delay will possibly be one week, not longer than two. Watch this paper for the announcement. A View of the Plat MR. LESTER MAPP, WELL-KNOWN SAN FRANCISCO BUSINESS MAN, BECOMES A BENEDICT. Last week, in the Capital City of the State, Lester Mapp, prominent in business and political circles, took unto himself a bride. He was united in marriage to Miss Bessie Moore, of Toledo, Ohio. Mrs. Mapp has been in the West for the last year. She comes from one of the best families in the east. She is highly cultured, and unassuming. The happy couple motored to Santa Cruz on their honeymoon trip, accompanied by several friends of the bride and groom. Mr. Mapp is planning a splendid residence in the Richmond district at a cost of several thousand dollars, which place he will make his home. His friends, who are legion, have been profuse in their congratulations, and all join in wishing the happy copule a peaceful journey over the sea of matrimony. DAIRY LUNCH CAFE CHANGES HANDS The Messrs. J. H. Sykes and Jos. Delaney have purchased the popular Dairy Lunch room near the corner of 9th and Central Ave., and will conduct the same up to the highest standard. Both of these gentlemen are experienced in this line of business and bringing this experience with them no doubt will make it a grand success. Mr. Delaney is one of our very best citizens, as is also his associate, Mr. Sykes. We bespeak for them the highest consideration. Mrs. A. Range and family, of New Orleans, La., were the welcome guests of Mr. Ernest Roberts last week, at 1566 E. 21st st. The Elephane that killed his instructor two weeks ago in Tennessee, was lynched without a trial. AGE Wednesday of this week Judge J. H. Curtis of San Bernardino, who had tried the case of Hixson et al. vs. H. L. Garrott, handed down a decision, sweeping in its character and sustaining the contentions of Attorney Willis O. Tyler, sustaining his demurrer offered in the case and also his motion to dismiss the injunction. This was a case wherein H. L. Garrott was enjoined from moving to and living on his own property. The property now has been idle for months, awaiting this decision. This is a clean cut victory given by a judge from the Southland, it is said, but by one who hews to the line in doing his duty as a jurist "Let the the chips fall where they may." Both Mr. Garrott and Attorney Tyler are to be congratulated on their perseverance in this case. It is not only a personal victory, but a victory for a Race of, people. The opinion is a lengthy one, sidesteps some of the points in the demurrer, but says the one first point submitted by W. O. Tyler was sufficient. This decision lifts the injunction from Mr. Garrott living on his own property. He is now in possession and living there. The case, however, that has been appealed from the decision of Judge Shenk is in the Supreme platform at the Ground Breaking Cerem Independent Church on last Sunday Court and will in time come u fora hearing. This case, is the one that will decide the validity of the restriction clauses as to American citizens of this state. THE LIGHT BEGINS TO BREAK A few days ago while passing along Tennessee Street, in that section which is considered the heart of what is commonly known as the "Black Belt" of the East Side, my attention was attracted to a neat little market which I had not noticed before. A second peep revealed a Colored gentleman behind the counter, and I suppose I hardly need to state that with a characteristic broad smile, not often seen on even the face of a Colored business man on Monday morning: I entered, and to my agreeable surprise there stood Mr. W. F. Howze, whom I had known for some little time. Greeting him in my usual fashion, I enquired, "How is business?" and to my "greatest" surprise with a smile not unlike the outburst of the sun after a whole week of fog that gentleman answered "Good." I could not believe my ears. I stepped a little closer and repeated my query and again he reiterated "Good." I did not ask any more questions, but told Mr. Howze that if he succeeded in getting and holding the trade in this community, as I firmly believe he will, my prayer in part at least is answered. I then looked over the stock. I found that Mr. Howze had in an excellent line of fresh and cured meats, fruits, vegetables, pastry, butter and eggs. Now located as he is in close proximity with least a thousand Colosted families and a dozen Colored cafes, the H. & J. Market at 1232 Tennessee street ought to develop into one of the largest markets on the Eats Side. Let us acquire that same pride CANNO enjoyed by the Jewish people in this same community, and soon we shall enjoy similar recognition as that enjoyed by the Jews and others right here in our community; for not until then will the white man even consider that we have seen the true light of his civilization, and reckon with us as a component part of this American citizenship. A YOUNG WOMAN WHO HAS MADE GOOD IN THE COMMUNITY Miss Rosa L. Sampson who for more than a year has had her "Beauty Parlor" in the Prentice New Idea Store at 1013 E. 9th street, in keeping with the growth of her business is forced out in larger quarters where she may more successfully meet the growing demands of her customers which extends not only in Los Angeles but over the entire state. Monday morning, October 2nd, Miss Sampson will open her new Beauty Parlor at 840 Central avenue, where her facilities will be more extensive and where she will be glad to welcome her old and new customers, promising to accord them the same courteous treatment and the best service in her line. In cultivating beauty from the standpoint of personal appearance the beauty doctor must first cultivate thoughts in order that her voice tone and facial expression may act as silent messengers in monies of The First her behalf in welcoming her customers, for too often the head of the department is too busy to exchange courtesies, and if she or he has not cultivated this sweet smile habit, false conceptions often result. Those who meet Miss Sampson in the capacity of customer or otherwise, certainly are wont to appreciate within her these qualities which we have mentioned, for this young woman knows no friend or foe. Alike she greets all with a smile and sweetly modulated tones. Aside, from these amicable qualities Miss Sampson is an absolute success in her business undertaking. She has placed on the market a hair grower which is declared by those who use it equal to Mme. Walker's. In her new quarters on Central Ave, Miss Sampson wishes to announce that she will be able to give better service, and handle a larger trade. A MINISTER WHO MADE GOOD AT BAKERSFIELD NOW IN LOS ANGELES Rev. J. W. Price, who for five years pastored successfully the first Colored A. M. E. church at Bakersfield, starts his work in this city as pastor of Ward chapel, and his many friends here who know how earnestly and successfully he labored at Bakersfield, predict for him a bright future in the Master's cause in this section. Ward Chapel is located in a part of the city where much good needs to be accomplished, and it is believed by those who are interested in the growth and development of the church that with such a leader as Rev. Price that Ward Chapel will begin with his administration to take its place in the annals of church history. The Eagle wishes Rev. Price success and happiness in both his matrimonial and new church voy- T BE I THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 33 TWO CAPABLE AND EFFICIENT OFFICERS L. L. Russell and R. F. Green are two Colored officers who are making enviable records on the Los Angeles police force. Their record for efficiency ranks high and they have the confidence, not only of their superior officers, but of the public as well. ZIP! BIFF! BANG! Glasses and Dishes Fly at a Down Town Cafe Which Refuses;Service to Irate American Citizen Mrs. Sadies C. Cole of 459 E. 29th street proved herself worthy of being classed with those of whom we have read as heroines of by-gone days, when she, alone and single handed, forced a dairy lunch room located at 139 So. Broadway, to give her service last Monday evening. The following is the story from Mrs. Cole's own lips: I had been to the office of the chief of police on business regarding some settlement work. I came by this dairy and feeling tired, in company with Mrs. S. B. Strickland I decided I wanted a glass of buttermilk. I went in and asked for the same. The proprietor told me they did not serve it, but sold it in bottles. Seeing others being served I told him I knew better; he did. He then said, "I don't serve your folkks and if I do it will cost you 50 cents. I told him I did not ask the price, and he brought me a glass and requested that I put up the 50 cents first. I told him I would not pay before I received it and then commenced to heave everything I could get my hands on, at him, including glasses, sugar bowls and everything loose, all of which struck their mark. By this time a great crowd gathered and the police arrived. They acted very courteous, they told the man they had not seen me do anything wrong and could not arrest me. They also told him that he had no right to refuse to serve people in the public place. I reiterated the stand I had taken, not to leave the place until I had been served and I was served, paid the regulation five cents and departed. Mrs. Cole is one of our foremost citizens and one of the principal promoters of the Fifty Years of Progress held in this city about a year ago. She is prominent in church and club work. She says that she has brooded over the treatment accorded our people in this city and that she has come to the conclusion that if it costs her life that she will do something to assert the rights of a race and would willingly give her life as a sacrifice. When Mrs. Sadie Cole had made the proprietor of the dairy room come up with the right thing by being not afraid to assert her rights with rare courage. 1 Mrs. S. C. Cole, who struck blow for human rights and not afraid to die, a prosperous and, dignified white gentleman walked up and congratulated her and said that he admired her stand and offered to pay for all she could drink. ‘What the Churches are Doing A3LE ZION GHURCH NOTES, Last Sunday was a high day in Ziem.

In case of subscribers not receiving their paper, inform us by postal, and we shall cheerfully farnish a duplicate copy of said missing number. No attention paid to anonymous letters. Copy must be written plainly on one side of paper, and to insure insertion in current issue must reach this office Thursday. Corres- pondents, please take notice. The people of the 74th Assembly District are amply qualified to look after their own political affairs and resent the interlopers who essay to middle therein; look after their own District and they will have their hands full. If Candidate Greenwood for the Assembly in the 74th District is too timid to face the common people at a political meeting, what would be do in a hard fight in the Assembly when their interests would be at stake? Why he would run there just the same as he runs here. Personally, we like Billy Greenwood and think well of him, but as a legislator he is out of the question. The proof of the pudding is the tasting. See his acts, his environment and then figure out if under any circumstances you can vote for him. We are Republicans to the core, but we have always been taught to support that class of Republicans that stand for progress and that can measure up at least with the average. JUDGES OF THE SUPERIOR COURT We have no hesitancy in commending to our readers the candidacy of Judge Gavin Craig for re-election, and that of Judge Robert W. McDonald, of Pasadena, for election. These two men are both, to our way of thinking, especially qualified and adapted to the Bench and with this class of men to pass judgement. We verily believe that there is no question that the same will prevail. Therefore we feel that we are justified in asking a strong support all along the line,—especially for Judge Craig and McDonald. MOUSER FOR THE ASSEMBLY The matter of electing an Assemblyman is about as far reaching in the 74th District as the election of any other one public official, especially so to our people, as in that particular District lies the Black Belt of Los Angeles County, and this people being an integrate part of the District, they will naturally look to their Assemblyman to protect their interests in the law-making body of this great State. Each session some legislation is introduced that is detrimental to the race. We are proud to say that with our present Assemblyman who is standing for re-election, we have had an able champion in the Assembly, a man who has left no stone unturned to defeat laws based on color prejudice. He has served two terms, knows every angle of the legislator's game, is forceful and a fighter; as always on the job, is a Republican (formerly a progressive), but a man who can be depended upon. He has always stood for his Colored constituents and in the face of this record, it would indeed be base ingratitude to fail to give him our hearty support. ORGANIZED TEAM WORK FOR RESULTS In a miniature way the great results accomplished annually demonstrated by the Colorado Womens' Federation of California is indeed an object lesson of what can be accomplished by the coming together of all the forces for progress in California. Their work and effort speaks for itself. At their annual sessions, from every section of the State, they bring tidings of the improvements in their bailiwick of the conditions and progress along the lines of their endeavor. The men have been so long apart and so tardy in doing the things worth while in an organized way. It may be: that after all the women may broaden their sphere and demonstrate organization to the end that we may have team work in this section that will put the race in a position to take its part in the mighty march of progress that is before us. And we verily believe that after all, if we reach the goal of success, and granting that by team work and organized effort is the only way to accomplish it; it must be a grand amalgamation of all our forces—both men and women and as the men have failed in a state-wide organization, let them, like Mohammed, go to the mountain, instead of the mountain coming to them.

Primerio, August 29, 1916 San Diego's new Creole orchestra, under the leadership of T. Harris, made its first appearance at Kastle Hall Monday night, August 14th. There were approximately 500 people in the hall who were eager to hear and give praise to San Diego's new talent. Although the orchestra is new in its organization, the musicians are by no means apprentices. Mr. Harris hails from one of the leading conservatories of the East, and has been a director of one of the leading bands of Denver, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Bob Ferris, who hails from New Orleans, known as the city of music, Mr. Jackson, formerly of San Antonio, Texas, Lloyd White of this city, who needs no introduction, Floyd Williams from everywhere, but is there just the same, Mr. Lopez of Mexico City, these men are all accomplished musicians. You would have thought it a house party instead of a public affair, as everybody seemed eager to get acquainted. It should have been called a get-acquainted social in place of a preparedness; still the name fitted in some instances, as everybody seemed willing to exchange friends or acquaintances in order that all could have an enjoyable time. N. Donaldson, J. A. Reed, N. Cunard, Leonard Gargiel, and E. B. St. Stephenson of New York City were introduced to all the hosts. The affair was some what informal, as some couples were enjoying their anniversaries, others celebrating their birthdays, while many were on their vacation. The music was so sweet and soothing that the crowd lingered until 2 a. m., even the orchestra did not seem to want to disband. It would be unjust to try to describe the costumes, as it was more like a summer fashion show. We are sure that San Diego must feel proud of this new orchestra Mr. Harris deserves much credit for bringing together such talent. Herman Nichols gave a smoker and whist party at his residence last Friday night in honor of J. E. Hunt of Los Angeles. When it comes to entertaining, you will have to take your hat off to him.

Many were touched by the stories and expressed their joy for the glad things that had come to them and the Sojourner Truth Home, the latest, tons of coal through the young men of the city. Two chapters of the life of Sojourner Truth was read by Mrs. Adr Jackson, which was very interesting and pathetic, showing the hardships our slave mothers endured during the dark days of slavery. All women should be interested in the life of this slave mother, one of the noblest women the world has ever produced, and teach the young all they are or hope to be, depends upon how they use the opportunities given them by the sufferings of their slave grand-parents and the sacrifices of their parents.

Therefore, by being designated as one of the members of the Republican State Central Committee, not only H. E. McBeth is signally honored, but it is a just recognition to the Race that has at all times so loyally given support to the success of the grand old party. Mr. McBeth has proved his worth to this community in the way that he has conducted himself ever since he has been P. amongst us. Every movement for the advancement of the people has had his loyal support, both in a material and moral way. He has at all times been right down among the people, and we know of no person who is more worthy of this high place than he. We welcome the recognition under the present alignment of political forces in this section and we verily believe it marks a new era for the political advancement of all the people of this section. A FEW ETIQUETTES OF CREOLE SOCIETY NEW ORLEANS, LA. Why is it New Orleans has such beautiful, moral girls? It is because their parents are very strict as to their selection of a life companion. under the Catholic teachings it is not an honorable act for girls to marry without their wreath and vail, which means purity. While attending the duties of school their parents object to their receiving boys' company. Many finish school before selecting a sweetheart. It's not proper for boys to offer presents to girls under a six months intimacy. Before calling or corresponding wit hite young lady he desires to meet in the Creole family, the gentleman has to consult the father and mother and receive their permission, if his qualification is good enough to marry their daughter. She is never trusted alone with her companion until they are engaged to marry. The family announces this at their engagement feast, which is their custom. He is permitted only every other night to call on his intended. Nine o'clock is the latest he should count. Eight days before the wedding it is not proper that she should pa vists to friends, nor until eight days after their wedding, which is a big surprise party, is given the bride and groom by their groomsman and bridesmaid. REV. AND MRS J. LOGAN CROW Pastor and Wife of First A. M. R. Church Welcomed on Second Year's Pastorate. Tuesday evening at more than 50 guests were present at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Isad Murphy, 1666 West 35th street, where Rev. and Mrs. Crow were tendered a welcome reception in behalf of their second year's effort in the capacity of head of the First A. M. E. church of this city. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, which is modern Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Montgomery deserve great credit for the manner in which the affair was arranged and carried out. By M. C. Thomas. Thursday afternoon, Sept. 14 Miss Susie Anderson, of 1135 Hobart Blvd., was the hostess of a lovely four-course luncheon given in honor of Miss Antoinette Young; who left the city for Bakersfield, where she will remain for a year or more. Covers were laid for ten. The color scheme of red and white was beautifully and artistically carried throughout. Everyone spent a most enjoyable afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Walsh wish to thank friends for the many lovely gifts received. One of Los Angeles' sweet lyric singers, in the person of Miss Antoinette Young, who has thrilled this city so many times with her bird-like voice, left Wednesday, Sept. 20, for Bakersfield, where she will attend school. While in Bakersfield she will be the house guest of Mrs. Winters. We wish all success for this promising young lady, and hope to have her return to us with her charming voice.

Fruits, ice cream and cake, the punch was red and white in the colors of the club. The invited guests were Miss Young, of Denver, the bride of Mr. S. W. Green, Jr., of New Orleans.

Mr. Graves was represented by Hugh E. MacBeth, of the same city. A mighty hunting party was arranged and carried out by Mr. B. L. Grant, manager of the Santa Barbara Ice Co., last week.

Lowe during the entire month of October, including Sundays, to enable everyone who has not already done so to visit this famous mountain and enjoy the perfect fall weather now prevailing there, above the fogs of the valley. The special tariff, which goes into effect October 1st, names a round trip of only $1.50 from Los Angeles to Alpine and return, and a similar fare of only $1.25 from Pandena. In spite of the fact that the Mt. Lowe trip is the most remarkable trolley trip in the world, and that thousands of tourists from every corner of the earth take this trip while in California, it is a curious fact that many residents of this State have never made the ascent of this celebrated mountain and probably do not realize the wonderful beauty and interest of the trip nor the magnificent panorama of mountains, valley and distant ocean to be seen from the summit on clear days. These special excursion rates have therefore been arranged by Mr. Pontius to afford residents of Southern California an opportunity to make the trip at the most delightful time of the year in the mountains. In order that those desiring to spend a waak or a week-end on Mt. Lowe may avail themselves of these low fares, the special tickets will be good returning any time within seven days from date of sale, and Ye class board and room as low as $3 per day or $15 per week. American plan. Single meals are only 50 cents for breakfast and 75 cents for lunch or dinner. There are also housekeeping cottages at $8 per week for two people, with an additional charge of $2 per week for each additional person. Camp supplies, including fresh meats, fruits and vegetables, are sold at "Ye Alpine Shope" at city prices. The Mt. Lowe housekeeping cottages are new this year and have proven extremely popular, as they afford families an opportunity for an inexpensive vacation with greater comfort and privacy than can be obtained in any other way. At the same time cottagers are welcomed to all the amusement facilities of the hotel, including the new Music Room with a fine dancing floor. Edison talking machine, player piano, pool and billiards, circulating library and other games and conveniences. Another innovation this year is an Official Hostess, whose duty it is to see that guests are made acquainted, that everybody has a good time and that there is always "something doing." Riding, hiking, dancing, and picnic parties are frequent, and time passes quickly and pleasantly a mile above the sea. Anyone who has never seen the lights of Los Angeles and Pasadena and a score of other cities from Inspiration Point has a treat in store which will be long remembered, while the trip from Mt. Lowe to Mt. Wilson over a good Government trail is one of the most beautiful trail trips in the world. On Saturday, Sunday and holiday evenings, the Lowe Observatory, in charge of Professor Edgar Lucien Larkin, is open free to the public, and everyone is allowed to look through the great 16-inch telescope. Those who have never made the Mt. Lowe trip should take advantage of these low rates and the favorable Autumn weather and make the trip now, while those who have already visited the mountain will find it pleasant to go again and plan for a stay of a few days or a week so as to enjoy the real charm and restfulness of the place or to explore the numerous fascinating trails into the nearby canyons or the back ranges of the mountains. FACTS ABOUT THE RAIL ROAD EMPLOYEES .(San Francisco News Letter.) In the railroad wage arbitration of 1915, it was shown that the average pay of all engineers in all classes of service on western railroads was $149.61 a month, or at the rate of $1795.32 a year. Today the enginemen and trainmen, 300,000, are demanding a wage increase of $100,000-000 a year for exactly the same work they are now doing. If this money is paid, it must come from the public. Is the public willing to pay a $100,000,000 increase in freight and passenger rates to meet this demand of the already highest paid class of railway employees? They constitute 18 per cent. of the total number of railroad employees. The Other Side of the Case—Security Attached "The sincerity of this newborn and loudly proclaimed belief, as expressed by the spokesman of the railway presidents: 'We stand for the principles of arbitration for the settlement of industrial disputes,' is best shown by the attitude of these railway companies who are so loudly proclaiming the virtues of arbitration and their undying adherence thereto; by the attitude of those same companies toward arbitration on a long list of properties which they absolutely own and control, but which they have refused to include in the present negotiations and to the men on which lines they are refusing their "day in-court," so feelingly referred to by the spokesman of the railway presidents." SUCCESS Here followed a list of sixty-four properties, which the statement said the brotherhood officials sought in vain on June 27 to have represented by the railroad managers in the present dispute. "In addition to these," the statement continued, "are a large number of quasi-independent properties, largely dominated by the same financial powers, which we have vainly demanded should be included 'Day In Court' Refused "These properties employ comparatively small numbers of men, and on account of that fact the railroad management feels that demands on those properties do not constitute a menace, as they do on the larger properties. Therefore, the right to their 'day in court' is continuously refused. Thus the actual position of the conference committees and of the presidents above them is that on lines where the men are not strong enough to force a hearing, there is 'nothing to arbitrate,' while on lines where a costly contest could be precipitated arbitration becomes the dearest principle connected with the settlement of industrial strife.
