M for an allocation from the flood emergency fund to a carrying on the program. Non-Union Labor Barred From Job Only Union Men Employed On Relocation of Highway and Railroad Non-union workmen of Orange county appear likely to be left out in the cold as far as obtaining work on the relocating of Santa Ana canyon highway and Santa Fe railway tracks is concerned. The contract between the county supervisors and Person and Hollingsworth and W. C. Cole does not specify an "open shop," thus permitting the contractors to hire only union members if they so desire. The contract does stipulate that the contractors shall employ all but their "key" men through the state employment service in Orange county. Only Orange county men are registered by the state office. The same stipulation applies to certain equipment operators. It was pointed out by Roy Ferguson, head of the state employment office, that the contractors have requested that only union men be sent as applicants for work. He added that his office must follow the requests of the persons employing labor. Inability of non-union members to obtain jobs on the project was called to the attention of the supervisors by a welder who reported he had been refused a job because he did not belong to the union. He contended that as a tax-payer he had the right to employment on a project which was being paid for out of tax moneys.

The biennial budget of the state is $446,000,000. Of this total the actual costs of state government amount to $91,000,000. Cost established by the legislature or voted by the people account for the balance, the governor said. Counties of the state also receive $233,000,000 of the budget, the state acting merely as collector of this amount. Orange county's share of the total is $4,842,000. Self-supporting agencies received $50,000,000, the governor said, only slightly more than the $48,000,000 used for relief purposes. The capital account, which provides buildings for state institutions requires $6,000,000 and an additional $16,000,000 is obligated for the interest and sinking fund. Costs of operating colleges, universities, asylums and prisons are taken from the $91,000,000 fund, Governor Merriam said. Mayor Charles H.
