HOW THE TIMES TREATS LABOR
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES regularly pays to its skilled, reliable and acceptable workmen wages that average from $3.75 to $4.50 per day for time work and from $4 to $5.50 per day for piece work. These rates are higher than are paid by any competing newspaper; and another advance has recently been agreed upon. The Times pays larger sums weekly, monthly and yearly for labor than any journal in all the Southwest. Its cash disbursements on this account between August 1890 and the end of September 1901 aggregated $1,007,020.81, and its annual expenditures for labor of all classes, both skilled and unskilled, now average more than $175,000 per year.
There never has been any attempt, in any quarter, to deny these specific and telling facts, nd the proprietors challenge such denial if made.
Not for years has The Times had any trouble with its workmen, who are independent of unions, loyal to their employers and themselves, well satisfied and prosperous.
The Times controls its own business in its own way, subject only to the laws of the land; and no interference with that control can be lawfully or justly made. The result of its fixed policy hs proven highly beneifical to all concerned, and the justness and correctness of its course have for years past received public approval in most marked and conspicuous ways, the circulation and advertising patronage of the paper steadily and largely outstripping that of all local rivals.
THE TIMES-MIRROR COMPANY. H.G. OTIS, President and General Manager.
Since no attempt whatever has ever been made in any quarter to refute, or even dispute, the accuracy of the foregointg authoritative statements, our defeated maligners are estopped; and the public is amply warranted in giving no credence to contemporary hostile assaualts upon The Times management in the matter of its relations to its workmen, or vice versa.
Falsehood must yield to truth.

SAN PEDRO
Union Bosses Can’t Boss.
|
SAN PEDRO, Sept. 23 — Notwithstanding the declaration of the union agitators that they will boycott the new bank building at Sixth Street and Broadway because F.J. Ribble, contractor for the carpenter work, is employing non-union workmen, all the men engaged on the structure put in an appearance this morning, and worked as if there had been no sound from the quarters of the union bosses.
There is no disposition on the part of the union bricklayers to leave their work, as they seem well satisfied with the employment. Ribble remains firm and asserts that his men will stick to him to the letter. It is thought now, since their efforts to unionize Ribble’s men proved futile, they have decided to use a little

more discretion and not attempt to force the brand of the totem upon those who will not stand the imposition.
Scarcity of Fish.
Fish of all kinds are exceedingly scarce, and the supply is not nearly enough to meet the demand, which is said to be even light for this season. Today there was but 500 pounds shipped out, which is much less than usual.
The lobster supply is abundant, about eight tons being shipped weekly. Halibut, rock bass and yellowtail are in good demand, but fishermen report a great scarcity. . . .
