STONE CUTTERS’ CASE IN COURT Companies File Injunction Proceedings. An Injunction to prevent tha /otarneymen't Ston# Cutters Association of North America, its officers or local nntons from In any way Interfering with the business of twenty-six stone companies in the neighborhoods of Bedford, Bloomington and Oolitic, was filed in Federal Court Tuesday by the Shea and Donnelly Company of Bedford. Judge Albert B. Anderson set Oct. 19 for hearing the case. The complaint states that May 1, the onion called a Strike and that this strike is still on. It Is charged that the defendants hare been guilty of attempting to induce men employed by the companies affected by the strike to quit work, and in employing such methods as picketing, coercion end intimidation. It is stated also that the pnrpose of the defendants was to stop Interstate shipments of stone by the plaintiff company, and that building trades councils throughout the country were retfuested by the defendants to declare a boycott • gainst concerns doing work on which Stone produced by the plaintiff oLany of the other twenty-flTe companies named was used. An Injunction restraining the defendants from interfering with the transportation of any stone products turned out by the plaintiff, and from interfering in any way with the employment of nonnnlon labor or the operation of the plants, Is asked. ’FRISCO RANKS SECOND ONLY TO NEW YORK i Continued From Pare One.) jnills, silk mills, machine shops, shipbuilding plants and a great many other manufacturing establishments, most of them are more for assembling and finishing than for primary production. There Is nothing In the way of a large Steel mill. That's because there are no ore beds on the coast. The Union Iron "Works, loom large and have turned out many good ships, but their province Is largely in repair work. Practically all the large Industries are devoted to products of the soil and the sea. Ther. are mammoth plants devoted to the packing of vegetables and fruits and others to the packing of fish and salmon. A largo fleet is employed In the salmon catch. Through the price gyrations of canned goods in the last year or two, producers and bankers and others concerned have had some sleepless nights. At the beginning of 1921 there was a tremendous carryover and the market seemed to have no bottom. Tomatoes sold at half production cost Packers wrote off inventories three times: one large concern failed. Alaska red salmon gold freely, but not the lower grades cf salmon. Canned fruits were a drug cn the market A change came In May smd by August all the surplus was sold. Together with the disposition of the excess prices were advanced twice. It is reported the whole season has turned out go well that the Alaska-Callfornla Packing Corporation, which owns S2 per cent of the stock of the Alaska Packers* Association. will have some dividends to distribute. It is somewhat the same story as to canned fruits and vegetables. Agriculturists received about one half tha money for their products this year compared with last year. Price# opened yery low and went lower and then turned and have been on the upgrade since. Lemon growers were exceptionally favored. They got good prices for their crops. DEVELOPMENT OF BICE CULTURE. A great deal of rice is grown in the upper Sacramento Valley. The rice growers have been shooting the chutes. In no other place on this continent is rice grown so far n( rth. Somebody started* rice culture in the Sacramento country five or so years ago on lands supposed to be good for nothing. With the proof that rice flourished thereabouts a boom followed and the previously displsed lowlands went up to S.IOO or SOOO an acre. Fine crops followed and then rice mills sprouted like mushrooms. Fire years ago the rice yield was 140.000 bags. Now it is In the millions. Apparently there was over production or rice acted in sympathy with other foodstuffs, for tb bottom dropped out of the market and there was woe in the rice ' belt. Now th jFe is an improvement in price and the gloom is not so deep but the feeling is general that the rice business has been overdone hereabouts. FINANCIAL STATUS OF BANKS. While some banks on the coast had unpleasant losses in foreign trade operations and not a few commercial concerns were linrt badly. It is declared that California's financial institutions had less proportionately to trouble them on this account than did those on the Atlantic •©aboard. A leader in financial circles—a man rs nation-wile reputation—explained it thnswlso: “This bank has had the best J'ear it has known in a long time. There Was a period when every morning when Z came to my desk I had not a few callers who laid before me chances to make • lot of money. Now. I Ilka to make money for the bank and for mysolf. but experience has taught me that when there are unusual profits, there are unusual risks, so at the expense of -being considered a bit of a fogy I advi?ed iny callers to be moderate, to go slow. In fact. Personally, I confess I don’t understand how we can have a large foreign trade while the exehnnge is so greatly against the purchaser and I don't Ilka to finance large operations—with people across the seas who have not an established-, credit rating. There were too many people in the field, they seemed to bloom overnight, and I just naturally was determined to stay out. “I was criticised, oh, yes, and so were sumo of my other banking friends. We were told indignantly wa* were losing a great market. “Well, those who went in when we wouldn't lost not only the market, but their money. ‘•We certainly didn’t lose our money.

As I remarked before, this bank has had the best year It has known In many years. And I might add, we are always ready for foreign business. But we want to know the people at the other side of the ocean." Department store business ranges from good to fairly good. Some few concerns that were loaded n]s with last year's stocks are understood to have had to make-heavy sacrifices when the slump came, but on- the whole the large merchandisers hero got through fully as well as those elsewhere and most of them are likely to have profits enough from this year’* eales to offset, or nearly offset, the losses of 1920. UNION LABOR POWERFUL * One of the bad features ia San Francisco for many year* has been In connection with labor. The city has been uuionridden. Nowhere have the union leaders been so powerful and so shortsighted. If those well qualified to Judge are correct the attitude of union labor has hurt San Francisco greatly in its ccmpetitlon j with the other cities on the Pacific coast. Building costs here are said to be higher j than in anF other large city of the coun-1 try and labor rows more frequently. Os; late there has been a determined effort j by an earnest body of men to break the I dominance of the tfnlons and they have made They have been favored, i of course, by the great amount of uuem- j ployment throughout the country and by | publia sentiment. In the time of largest ; unemployment there was a building trades strike here that not only paralyzed operations for four or five months, but forced many lumber mills to close. GOLD MINING NO LONGER PROFITABLE. An industry hurt in war period and after was gold mining. Tho value of gold doesn't change, but everything else went up while the yellow metal remained at $20.67 pure per ounce. When prices got to high for powder, mine machinery and labor that gold no longer conld be produced at a profit, except in an exceptionally rich field, production stopped. Now tools and machinery, wire rope and wages, powder and equipment generally are nearly back to normal and wages also are coming down. The closing of the copper mines helped the gold mines. Labor wouldn't accept reduced wages at the copper mines, hut the copper men are entering the gold field* and taking wages as low or lower than they rejected at their old Job a A good deal of structural teel was dumped in San Francisco by Belgian and German steel concerns early this year at prices below those at which American stoel companies lay their stuff down here. This movement seems to have stopped. From all accounts there is need of considerable steel In this territory if labor difficulties are adjusted. There is opportunity on the Pacific coast for the development of a considerable Industry in sardine packing. It docs not seem to have attracted tho attention it deserves. The sardine of the Atlantic seaboard Is not really a eardfa*. The real thing ik here on the Pacific It is just as good If not better than the famous sardine of France. But It has to be put up in real olive oil. not in cotton seed oil or some blends of oils. Most of the Atlantic coast “sardines" sold as sardines are smelts. WHAT PROHIBITION DID FOR CALIFORNIA. Prohibition has dene wonders for California. 'J he grape growers and the makers of light wines swore to high heaven It was going to ruin them. Instead, it has made them rich. With the passage o fthe eighteenth amendment farmers endeavored to sell their grapelands. Buyers weTe scarce. Then suddenly there was a fierce demand for v.-lue grapes. The price had sunk as low as sl2 a ton. Later it was pegged at S2O. Within the last year sllO has been paid and the crop is said to have averaged $l2O a ton. Not only tha’, but buyers in some instances so eager that they bought the fruit on the vine and picked and boxed it at their own cost. Those wao ought to know say no gentleman need go without wine in California. Unquestionably prohibition has boosted the price of tho Callforn a raisin. The grower gives three cheers every time he takes a drink. There has been some revision of railroad freight rates at the urgent insistence of California shippers. They say there will have to be more, pas-, sengar traffic seems to be heavy. Four trains run between San Francisco and Log Angeles each night.
