EIGHT HOUR LAW MENAGE TO ALL INDUSTRY ORANGE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL LEAGUE SHOWING UP ITS WEAK SPOTS WILL PROVE A DRAG ON THE PROSPERITY OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT A REDEEMING FEATURE John A. McFadden of Santa Ana secretary of the Agricultural and Commercial League of Orange County, was in Anaheim Thursday sowing seed from which it is hoped to reap a crop of votes against the inquisitous "Eight-Hour Law," which the Socialists of the ultra school are endevorging to foist upon the people of California. The farmers of California are leading the fight against the Socialists' universal 8-hour law, because its adoption would mean ruin to them and theirs. It would slice farm land values in half, wiping out home investments, making fruit-growing and general ranching unprofitable and wrecking the basis of all prosperity—agriculture. Experience in all other States, like New York, has shown the necessity of making exemptions in restricting men's hours of labor by law. The women's 8-hour law of California exempts household workers, trained nurses and others. But the Socialists' new universal law embraces everybody—women, nurses, house servants, railroad men, farm helpers, fruit pickers, grain harvesters, sheep herders, hotel men, oil drillers, surveyors, cowboys, sailors, watchmen—all classes of workers. It requires keen imagination and exertion with the least desirable citizens—men who seek the "easy life" and a labor paradise. No employee could increase his earnings by making overtime pay if the law is enacted. Ambition and thrift are penalized, idleness rewarded, by its provisions. All classes of workers and employers are affected by its arbitrary terms. Ripe crops may rot and business suffer without relief. The cost of living would go higher for everybody. It is the most drastic, sweeping Socialist law ever proposed and places all California prosperity in peril. The law is a rash experiment, never having been tried before, and if voted by the people this fall cannot be vetoed by the Governor or amended by the legislature, which after consideration at the last session almost unanimously disapproved this same law as too radical and not for the welfare of California. FRUIT GROWERS TO MEET IN CONVENTION 45th Session of State Horticulturists Will be Held in Los Angeles The program for the coming sessions in Los Angeles, November 9th, of the 45th State Fruit Growers Convention and the University of California Farmers Institute, under the auspices of the State Horticultural Commissioner and the University's Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside, is rapidly taking shape. Dr. Webber of the experiment station and Dr. Cook claim that the talent for this convention will be unexcelled. Dr. Webber states that he made arrangements for the presence and participation of some of the greatest scientists of the United States on the subject of soil chemistry as applied to fertility and soil improvement. The subject of soils is to be a very prominent one in the convention. Serious consideration was given to the idea of making it the central thought of the whole program. However, the importance of other subjects was thought to make that plan indisvisible, but at least one day, probably Novem- Experience in all other States, like New York, has shown the necessity of making exemptions in restricting men's hours of labor by law. The women's 8-hour law of California exempts household workers, trained nurses and others. But the Socialists' new universal law embraces everybody—women, nurses, house servants, railroad men, farm helpers, fruit pickers, grain harvesters, sheep herders, hotel men, oil drillers, surveyors, cowboys, sailors, watchmen—all classes of workers. It requires keen imagination and extensive thought to get a glimmer of what such a law would mean. Many deep students of the subject predict that its adoption would precipitate a veritable upheaval in agriculture, industry and general business, bringing chaos and havoc in place of present prosperity and progress. All unproduced thinkers agree that it would raise the cost, of living to everybody; that as it directly increased the cost of production of food and necessities, involving an immediate economic waste of 20 per cent in time and produce, much of this loss would instantly be piled upon the consumer in higher prices. California agriculture, which last year produced a total value of $371,000,000, would be placed in unequal and unfair competition with other States and nations, just as we are at the threshold of the era of our greatest development and prosperity. The influx of desirable new rural population and capital would be discouraged by these conditions as settlers would hesitate to undertake to develop farms when subject to such arbitrary handicaps, restrictions and limitations. The natural sequel would be increased renting of lands by Orientals—Japanese, Hindooos and Chinese—who can subsist on a few pennies a day and who could avoid prosecution under the law through their cooperative so-called partnerships. Thus our white labor and citizenship generally would suffer. Land values, which have enhanced steadily to the benefit of urban homeowners and ranchers alike, would decrease in direct ration to the decline of population growth and profitable farming. Farming, and particularly fruit growing, unlike manufacturing and merchandising, now largely under 8-hour rules, is absolutely governed by the forces of Nature. Weather makes the harvest time. A ring crop, embodying the profit of the whole year, must be picked, canned and shipped immediately, or lost. A hot spell may make fruit drop that with cold weather would hang on the trees for a week. At such times, for brief periods, scarcity of help is a serious problem even under the nine and ten hour day. Extra work is rewarded with extra pay, and there is no hardship, nor discontent. Double shifts of eight-hours each are utterly impracticable in California agriculture. Live stock must be fed and watered convention will be unexcelled. Dr. Webber states that he has made arrangements for the presence and participation of some of the greatest scientists of the United States on the subject of soil chemistry as applied to fertility and soil improvement. The subjects of soils is to be a very prominent one in the convention. Serious consideration was given to the idea of making it the central thought of the whole program. However, the importance of other subjects was thought to make that plan indisvisible, but at least one day, probably November 12, will be given to this subject. An interesting department of the Convention will be that devoted to the work of women, which is in charge of Miss Lillian D. Clark of the University staff at Borkeloy, and excellent things are promised for the help of the ladies whose homes or interests are centered about ranch life, and many others. These meetings will probably be held in the Assembly rooms of the Hotel Clark, which has been made the headquarters of the convention. The homelike appointments of this hotel should insure a large gathering of the families of fruit growers, as well as the heads of families, who have formerly been the consipuous representatives at these conventions. The chairman of the committee of arrangement intends to meet many of the northern fruit growers at the State Fair this month and give them such items of information as may interest them, that they may have full knowledge of the good things in prospect at the November meeting, and arrange to be present. Probably an excursion will be arranged from San Francisco to make the trip more pleasant and profitable for all who participate. Many northern fruit growers have promised that the attendance from the north will be a surprise, and they promise that the north will make a better showing at this southern convention than the South ever has at a northern one, all of which will be very pleasing and add greatly to the profit to be derived from the gathering. They may be sure of a royal welcome, and the fullest provisions for their comfort, enjoyment and profits will be provided. A new and interesting feature of the gathering is to be the taking of preliminary steps for the organization of a State Association among the fruit growers themselves, the object being to form an organization which shall have to do with every phase of the fruit growers' occupation, matters of legislation, transportation, marketing standardization—all coming within its scope. Many are anticipating very important and gratifying results from such an organization. Many fruit growers who were unable to attend the last three conventions have been greatly disappointed that the proceedings were not published in collective form which would enable them to profit somewhat by the prescribes and acts.

A hot spell may make fruit drop that with cold weather would hang on the trees for a week. At such times, for brief periods, scarcity of help is a serious problem even under the nine and ten-hour day. Extra work is rewarded with extra pay, and there is no hardship, nor discontent. Double shifts of eight hours each are utterly impracticable in California agriculture. Live stock must be fed and watered; dry fields and orchards must be irrigated; milk must be drawn and shipped, without possibility of exact adherence to an arbitrary 8-hour schedule. Household help is drawn under the new law, along with all other, and no cook or maid could be permitted to supply breakfast before 8 or supper after 5 o'clock under the Socialists' law, if such duty involved more than eight hours' work. Solution of the "servant girl problem" would scarcely be alled by necessity of two wherever formerly there was one. Under the women's 8-hour law household workers are exempt, but all are included in the universal measure. The Socialists' law is distinctly discriminatory, in that it levels a heavy penalty at the employer and places no obligation at all upon the employee, affording an attractive temptation to any disgruntled worker to injure or harass his employer by working overtime and precipitating criminal prosecution. In short. The Socialists' law makes no exemptions. No provision is made for our perishable crops. No state has, or ever had, such a law. The law submitted is the most drastic ever drawn. It virtually forbids any man or woman to work at their own pleasure. Any employer can be jailed for 90 days and fined $500 for permitting over 8-hours work. It would make our farmers turn law breakers or sell out. Hindoo, Japanese and Chinese tenants operating as partnerships would supplant our white farm owners.

President Teade, of the central body, was in charge of the meeting, which was promptly called to order at the appointed time. Reports as to crop conditions showed that the greatest crop, in proportion, will be in and around Santa Barbara, where there will be a bumper crop of choice nuts. Reports from different parts of Orange county elicited the fact that the crop hereabouts would be very light, not more, on an average than one half. But the nuts will be of large size and excellent quality. Prices were talked over, but it was the consensus of opinion that nothing could be done at this time as to fixing the price for the coming crop. That it will and must be better than that of last year was freely stated, but nothing definite was done. It seemed to be the opinion of all the delegates that the total crop would be about 75 per cent of the average.

QUESTIONS VOTED UPON AT NEXT ELECTION FORTY-EIGHT PROPOSITIONS BUT MANY OF THEM HAVE LITTLE INTEREST FOR THE PEOPLE FOUR OR FIVE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE STATE AND VOTERS SHOULD POST THEMSELVES Forty-eight propositions, proposed laws and constitutional amendments will confront the voter when he unfolds his ballot in the booth on November 3. The great majority of them are of little interest to the average voter, and many will probably shy at the entire list, but some of them are of vital importance consequently it behooves the voters to post themselves so they can vote intelligently on the subjects. The following explains the more important ones—the propositions affecting the people of this section—and it would be well to read and remember. They are numbered as they will appear on the ballot: 1—Calling Convention for Revision of Constitution. 2. Prohibition. Initiative amendment adding sections 26 and 27 to article I of constitution.

Extra Sessions of District Courts of Appeal. 41. Miscarriage of Justice. 42. Place of Payment of Bonds and Interest. 43. Exempting Educational Institutions from Taxation. 44. Minimum Wage. Assembly Constitutional Amendment 90 adding section 17 1-2 to article XX of constitution. Authorizes legislature to provide for establishment of minimum wage for women and minors. 45.

Initiative act prohibiting, except in cases of urgent emergency, the working for wages or requiring or employing any volumes will this year be attained; its reading room, the second largest in America, cannot hold the students and citizens who strong there to use the University's rich collection of books; its seminar rooms for advanced work cannot begin to provide for the needs of the 5100 students enrolled at Berkeley. In its present state, however, the library is unfinished, large areas of the building as originally planned having been left to be provided as need arose, so great enlargements can readily be made at a minimum of cost whenever funds may become available. That the patients treated in the free clinics of the out-patient department of the University hospital in San Francisco have increased in number by more than 50 per cent during the past year is announced by the University of California Medical School. Visits to these free clinics exceed fifty thousand a year. The Social Service department recently established in connection with this out-patient department is found by the Medical School to be of much public usefulness. The medical students are being trained to take into account the important relation of their human problems. The investigation of these problems of the sic are under the direction of Dr. Louise Morrow. Conferences on such problems are held weekly for the medical students by Dr. William Lucas, director of the out-patient department. The problem of tuberculosis are also dealt with by the University's medical students, through a coopera- Dr. very Serrano, par and part sell the supplied antique manufacture, sale, gift, or transportation wholly within the state of intoxicating liquor; permits any citizen to joinni violations; makes the showing that the manufacture, use, sale, gift or transportation was for medicinal, scientific, mechanical or sacramental purposes, a defense to civil and criminal actions, and requires regulation by law of such acts for said purposes; prohibits transportation into this state of intoxicating liquor, unless shown to be for such purposes, subject, however, to United States laws; prescribes and authorizes penalties. 3.

Two-thirds of these imports came from Germany, France and Austria-Hungary, and as soon as the stocks on hand are consumed domestic waters should take the place of those derived from foreign springs. In this connection it is interesting to note that last year the reported sales from 838 commercial springs in the United States were more than 57,000,000 gallons, having a total value of $5,500,000. The recent activity of the New York State Reservation Commission in conserving the natural mineral waters at Saratoga Springs, as well as in improving local conditions, is of interest.

(SEAL) In calling attention to the many opportunities in this country for utilizing such waters and adopting modes of treatment similar to those which have made the bath resorts of Germany and Austria famous. There is a somewhat popular but fallacious impression that certain European waters have medicinal properties not possessed by any American waters, and many persons addicted to the Apollinaria, Clysmie, or Celestine-Vichy habit might be equally well satisfied by waters from American springs in bottles of America glass, bearing labels printed in the United States.
