LOS ANGELES WEST COAST WONDER CITY Business Shows General Gain Over Last Year. OPTIMISM RULES Team Work by Men of Affairs Best of Country. ~ Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RICHARD SPILLANE. LOS ANGELES. CaL. Oct. 14 Los Angeles is the wonder city of the West. It was affected to less degree, 1 perhaps, than any other center of the , United States by the depression, i With only a few exceptions its indus- j trial and general business concerns are doing more than in 1920. It is a city of optimists. Nowhere ■ do you find people more glowing in ; the praise of their home town, and, nowhere do you find so much team : work by men of affairs. Some extravagant spirits predict Los j Angeles is destined to be the second city ] of America. Today it has the largest I population on the West coast, and is growing so fast as to startle a placid j Easterner. Investigation, however, is | likely to make the visitor believe the growth not only is healthy, but war- ! ranted, for the city is unique in Us vari- j ety of assets. It has no labor troubles, j That may be ascribed in part to the McNamara dynamite outrage of years ago that so incensed the public that unionism has been banned there ever since. Another reason is that, as a general rule, 1 workers own their own homes and there ; is a garden patch to each home, in which j fruits, flowers and vegetables are grown. ■ Still another reason la that there-is no ; such thing here as seasonal labor, out- : do"r workers being able to keep to thelf Jobs winter and summer alike, owing to the mild climate. LIVING COSTS ARE VERY LOW. In few large cities are living costs so low. Practically everything man eats is grown nearby, and nowhere in America is the marketing system so well organised and foods so cheap. The great increase in the volume of business in the last year can be explained only by the increase in population. One of the finest department stores reported its September sales 45 per cent greater than those of September, 1020. Real estate men pointed to the fact that Los Angeles led the Nation in the last twelve months in construction of industrial, residential and office buildings. The largest flouring mill concern pointed to the fact that it was 50 per cent above last year's production, that it was operating day and night, and Sunday, aDd that it has been compelled to increase the capacity of its plant. Mr. Dickson, editor of the Express, said the volume of advertising, local and foreign, was an index to general prosperity. A glance, he thcmght, would show that in no city in America were newspapers in better condition. He also called attention to the growth of Los Angeles’ export trade, which from $253,000 in 1913, has risen to $20,000,000 this year. The largest manufacturer of mahogany, oak, and cabinet goods on the coast, and (Continued on Page Two.) TWO AVIATORS KILLED IN FALL Biplane Wing Collapses, Sending Occupants to Earth in Flames.

EMPLOYMENT SITUATION UP TO PRESIDENT Harding to Take Early Steps on Recommendations. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—Presl- \ dent Harding had before him today the recommendations and sugges- 1 tions agreed to by his national unem-; ployment conference during its initial session and is expected to take early steps to assure the adoption through legislative and administra- \ tive channels of the proposals which it has advocated for the permanent rehabilitation of indnstry and busi- 1 ness.
