DUTY ON SHELLED PRODUCT Senate Vote Means Saving of $2,000,000 Annually to Growers Marking the victorious finish of a battle waged in Washington for more than a year, the protective tariff on walnuts was fixed by the Senate, according to a telegram received by Sales Manager W. T. Webber of the California Walnut Growers Asso., at 12 cents on shelled and 4 cents on unshelled walnuts. This is the highest tariff ever placed upon walnuts. Huge Loss Entailed By Many Strikes WASHINGTON, July 6—More than 1,000,000 men and women in the United States are out on strikes, protesting against wage reductions. Figures made public today by government agencies revealed that approximately 9,000,000 hours of work a day are being lost by industries because of walkouts. Labor department figures show a total of 1,150,000 men are on strike, including 400,000 railway men. BIG INCREASE IN COURT BUILD Permits for Ha Five Cities $4,078,888 Reflecting the tremor in business and population in the last year, a high mark for future building permit figures six months total $4,078,888 of the principal cities Santa Ana, Fullerton Huntington Beach, sted here today showed Marking the victorious finish of a battle waged in Washington for more than a year, the protective tariff on walnuts was fixed by the Senate, according to a telegram received by Sales Manager W. T. Webber of the California Walnut Growers Assoc., at 12 cents on shelled and 4 cents on unshelled walnuts. This is the highest tariff ever placed upon walnuts. Not since the days of the Taft administration has the California walnut industry had a protective tariff that has been anything near adequate, association officials claim. The Payne-Aldrich bill carried a duty of 2 cents per pound on unshelled walnuts. California was not marketing shelled walnuts at that time. The Underwood Tariff Bill, adopted during the Wilson administration, fixed the walnut duty at 2 cents per pound on unshelled and 4 cents per pound on shelled walnuts. This schedule, the growers agreed, was hopelessly inadequate. The differential in cost of producing walnuts here and in Southern Europe and Manchuria, was so marked that the foreign waxed fat upon the splendid walnut market of this country. Importations increased at such a startling rate that during the first five months of this year, importations in 150 days were far in excess of all importations for 1921, and more than double the annual consumption of walnuts in the United States. "The new tariff on walnuts will save the growers of this state upwards of $2,000,000 a year," said Sales Manager Webber, "Foreign competition, be cause of cooler labor and low production cost, has threatened the California walnut industry with ruin." Other rates agreed on are as follows: Almonds, unsheared, 5 cents per pound; sheeled, 15 cents. Rates in House bill were 4 cents and 12 cents respectively. Figs. 40 cents per pound. (House rate, 20 cents.) Dates, fresh or dried, 1 cent; prepared on preserves, 40 cents. (House rate, 35 cents). Grapes, in barrels, 25 cents per cubic foot of capacity of package. Raisins, 2½ cents per pound. (House rate, 2 cents.) Currants, 2 cents. Lemons, 2 cents. Oranges, 1 cent. Limes, 1 cent. Grapefruit, one-half cent per lb. Oranges and grapefruit were not included in the House bill. McFADDEN INVADES SOUTH ORANGE-CO Ralph McFadden, No. Orange-co. FREIGHT CAR ROBBED OF TOBACCO Another burglary occurred last night on the Santa Fe tracks near the local station, the second this year.

Others were crushed against the sides of the cars, smashing the glass in the windows. HOPE IS HELD OUT TO END BIG TIE-UP The accident brought the train to a halt. Smoke from burning insulation threw the passengers into a panic of fright that the train was on fire. Instantly those in the front cars began to rush for the rear. Men, women and children were caught in a wild, scrambling mob. Some were knocked down and trampled. Others were crushed against the sides of the cars, smashing the glass in the windows. Three guards of the rear cars refused to open the doors, fearing the terror-striken passengers would come in contact with the third rail and be electrocuted. As those in the rear pressed forward the crush in the trear cars became terrific. The police ordered every available ambulance from all the hospitals in the neighborhood to the scene. Fire apparatus was rushed to the scene from half a dozen stations. The rescue squad of the fire department was turned out. The fuse blew out and caused an explosion of gas. The shock, noise and smoke caused rumors to be circulated that a great disaster had taken place and soon a mighty crowd was surging about the scene. Men, women and children crawled out through the thick, sickening fumes to the subway tracks. There they made their way to the street through the Fifty-third street emergency exit. The passengers presented a sorry looking spectacle as they emerged upon the street. Their clothing was torn. Their hands* and faces were blackened with the thick oily smoke that filled the cars. They wheezed and coughed from the fumes that had filled their lungs. Their eyes were inflamed. It was some time after the train had stalled that the power was turned off and all that time the insulation kept on burning and smoke kept getting thicker and thicker. As the fumes denser cries of alarm filled the train. Some cried they were being burned to death. BURY ELECTRICIAN IN S. A. SATURDAY The funeral of Bert Miles, electrician of the Southern Sierra Power Co., who was electrocuted at a substation near Andrade, will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the funeral parlor of Mills & Winbigler, Santa Ana, Rev. John Oliver, of the First Methodist church, will officiate. Interment will be in Fairhaven cemetery. Mile's body was scorched beyond recognition and his clothes were completely burned off and coins and buckles welded together by the heat. His widow and baby boy recently had been visiting in Santa Ana. HOPE IS HELD OUT TO END BIG TIE-UP CHICAGO, July 6 — Prospects of a settlement of the nation-wide strike of railroad shopmen improved today when B. M. Jewell, head of the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor, welcomed the intimation of Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the railroad labor board, that the way for further negotiations is still open. New moves for peace also seemed likely to be forthcoming very soon when it became known that various railroads began to feel the first pinch of the strike today, as evidenced in the withdrawal of trains. Discussing the railroad labor board's "peace letter," President Jewell said: "If any one has any proposal up his sleeve he need not hesitate to shake it out. The organizations are ready and willing to meet any persons ready to submit a proposal and such a proposal will be given careful consideration. We will go for a conference with Hooper or anyone else if we are invited and those persons have a proposal to submit." In a brief formal statement Jewell took issue with the statement or Hooper that the shop crafts unions that joined in the strike have not been "outlawed" by the labor board. The statement said: "The letter itself (Hooper's letter of yesterday) has not yet reached me, but I can, on the basis of press reports, say that the mere declaration that the organizations of employees have or may, as is their legal right, to decline to accept the dictates of the labor board, are not to be 'outlawed' does not remove or annul the official action of the board. The language of the resolution clearly provides that the shop crafts organizations are to be supplemented by an organization of what may be termed 'whitewashed strike breakers.'" A reply from Jewell to Hooper's letter is expected today. IN BERTH EXTINGUISHED The funeral of Bert Miles, electrician of the Southern Sierras Power Co., who was electrocuted at a substation near Andrade, will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the funeral parlor of Mills & Winbigler, Santa Ana. Rev. John Oliver, of the First Methodist church, will officiate. Interment will be in Fairhaven cemetery. Mile's body was scorched beyond recognition and his clothes were completely burned off and coins and buckles welded together by the heat. His widow and baby boy recently had been visiting in Santa Ana. PRESIDENTS PROVE PROHI PEFERENCE LOS ANGELES, July 6—Did Presidents Andrew Jackson, James Madison and John Quincy Adams forsose many years ago, that the United States was destined to become a prohibition nation? If they did not, they at least plazed their names on a medal bearing a prohibition message that was almost prophetic of what has come to pass. The medal now is owned by Andrew Jackson of this city, a great grandson of the former President of the same name. POISON MILK WEED KILLS 300 SHEEP DURANGO, Colo., July 6.—The poisonous whorled milkweed has once more got in its deadly work on sheep. While being driven to their summer range and off the beaten trails, 300 head of sheep, the property of Edward Sargeant of Chama, began eating the poison weeds. The flockmaster noticed the sheep becoming ill and hurried the flock through, but not before 300 head had died. FIND $2000 IN POCKETS OF PATIENT DENVER, July 6.—"Call the officers and have them take me to the county hospital. I am very sick and I have no money." F. Swartz, 65 years old, 1206 Larmer street, made this plea Wednesday to neighbors. Thursday morning Swartz died of cancer of the stomach. In his clothes the officials found $2000, including $1500 in cash and $500 in Liberty bonds. CONCORDIA SHOWS MEMBERSHIP JUMP The Concordia Society, with 30 more candidates pledged, will have shown a jump of approximately 50 per cent in membership the past week or two. The increase is largely due to the new club house on West Broadway. A week or more ago 56 new members admitted. President Pritz Horbach, who gave out the figures, said that the club didn't seek members, but could soon welcome them more freely than hitherto because the new clubhouse made a much larger membership possible. Horbach put the capacity at 1,000 men. The opening celebration on July 2 and observance of the Fourth, with regular events promised for the feature, including a big dance, has awakened the interest of Americans of German heritage all over the county, and many outside Anaheim are included among the new members and candidates. The clubhouse is the only one of the sort in the county, says Horbach. MEXICALI GUARDED AGAINST FIREBUG With armed guards stationed in the Chinatown section of Mexicali, and the city proper being policed by extra officers, the Mexican border city today increased the vigilance of officials who are attempting to ward off new arson attacks of a firebug believed to have been responsible for disastrous fires causing damage of more than $1,000,000 recently.
