ANAHEIM GAZETTE BEAN GROWERS OPPOSE EIGHT HOUR LAW VENTURA COUNTY ORGANIZES A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN IN OPPOSITION TO VICIOUS LAW SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS ALSO ORGANIZED FOR THE PURPOSE OF FIGHTING IT One of the strongest organizations of farmers ever formed in California was perfected last week at Ventura to prosecute a campaign against the initiative "Universal 8-Hour Law." Every portion of the "bean county" was represented in the mass meeting, which assembled in the Chamber of Commerce hall of the court house. Members of several of the leading district Farmers' Clubs, including those of Santa Paula, Oxnard, Fillmore, Northhoff, Saticoy and Mound, were among those present. In vigorous speeches prominent citrus fruit and bean growers voiced Ventura county's protest against the proposed sweeping 8-hour law, saying that it would mean ruin to the white ranch owners because it contains no exemptions to allow for harvesting perishable crops or varying uncontrollable conditions of nature. Thos. A. Rice of Oxnard called the meeting to order at temporary chairman and Thos. W. Spler of Ventura acted as secretary. Later by unanimous vote C. C. Teague of Santa Paula, the well-known citrus fruit grower and manager of the great Limonera property, was elected president, Charles Donlon of Oxnard, head of the Lima Bean Growers' Association, was chos- BUSINESS CARDS J.

FRUIT GROWERS IN CONVENTION Many Speakers of National Reputation Will Address Los Angeles Meeting in November State Horticultural Commissioner Cook has announced that there will be some of the most talented speakers in the United States at the next or 45th State Fruit Growers' Convention, which will be held in Los Angeles November 9-14, 1914. The horticultural commission and a committee of arrangements have been at work for nearly two months planning for the "Greatest Ever." In fact, there will be practically four great assemblies. The first two days of the week will be given over to the state association of county horticultural commissioners, of which Harry P. Stabler, of Yuba City, is president and R. S. Valle, of Santa Paula, is secretary. On Wednesday morning the state convention proper in charge of Dr. Cook, E. O. Essig, secretary, will open.

W. Splier of Ventura acted as secretary. Later by unanimous vote C. C. Teague of Santa Paula, the well-known citrus fruit grower and manager of the great Limonera property, was elected president. Charles Donlon of Oxnard, head of the Lima Bean Growers' Association, was chosen vice-president. Sol. N. Sheridan, secretary of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, was elected secretary. The new Ventura county organization will co-operate closely with the Farmers' and Fruit Growers' Federation of Los Angeles, Pitt. Hand of the latter organization explaining the plans for the Southern California campaign to the meeting. The campaign in Ventura county will be one of the most comprehensive yet undertaken in this section, according to the plans approved at this mass meeting, which provide for the sending of educational matter to every voter in the county and having on guard at the election in November a Farmers' League representative at every polling place. Several speakers predicted that Ventura county will give a 4-to-1 majority of "no" on proposition No. 3. The Santa Paula Farmers' Club joined vigorously in the all-county campaign with a meeting Tuesday evening in the city hall, presided over by President L. E. Mills. The proposed 8-hour law was thoroughly discussed and unanimous sentiment against it expressed by the farmers. State Senator D. W. Mott, one of the few legislators representing the farmers in the fights at Sacramento against such drastic restrictive legislation, addressed the meeting, saying: "This 8-hour law is the most important question brought before the voters of California in a generation. Its adoption in its present form would wreck this state's prosperity. It would drive white farmers out of business and substitute Hindoo, Japanese and Chinese tenants, operating under the subterfuge of 'co-operative partnerships.' The law would injure the wage workers worst of all. There is no way of estimating the tremendous injury it would inflict, for it would hurt at a thousand points. The question comes to every threshold, for the law undoubtedly would increase the price of living to everybody. Therefore proposition No. 3 is infinitely more important than any of the 50-odd questions and all the candidates on the ballot. Every farmer and wage worker should help defeat it." The San Diego County Farmers' Protective League, according to reports received today by the Los Angeles Federation, has launched a vigorous campaign covering every district in the county. An executive committee comprising President R. C. Allan city of Los Angeles. The woman's department of the State Fruit Growers' convention will be another popular feature.

In fact, it is a combination of the forces of the State Horticultural Commission, the State University—especially the experiment station—and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

This will be the first vessel from the Pacific ports for the Atlantic coast to take a cargo with the intention of making the canal passage. The schedule of the Nebraskan and other ships of the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company contemplate a passage of from eighteen to twenty days between the local port and New York, or nearly as good time as is made by the average freight shipments. R. D. Lapham, the local agent of the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, announced Wednesday that the company would inaugurate a passenger service when the Honolulu sails from the local harbor on August 26 for New York via the canal. This steamer has accommodations for about fifty first-class passengers.
