NEW SPEED LAW NOT IN EFFECT MINTIL SEPT. 13 The new California speed law changing the prima facie limit from 45 to 55 miles an hour on the open highway will not become effective until Saturday, September 13, mo. torists are cautioned by the California State Automobile Association. The new measure, covering all speed limits and zoning, also fixes 25 . miles as the limit for districts containing veterans establishments. PJresent 15 and 25 mile zones remain unchanged, with these exceptions: * If surveys show that conditions warrant, the limit in certain 25 mile districts may be raised to 35 or 45 miles by the Department of Public Works, or by local authorities having similar power over within their jurisdiction. If’ an open section between two 25 mile zones is not over 1500 feet in length, the entire area may be rezoned to 25 miles. Extension for 1000 feet of present 25 mile zones, to permit motorists to slow down from open highway speed before entering a congested area, is authorized.

Farmers. whose very existence is threatened by continued use of the, vicious secondary bovcott should be. narticularly careful in inquiring into, the merits of any referendum or in. ; itiative petition they are asked to Sign at this time. More than that, they should do everything possible to warn their neighbofs against, signing such petitions. If operation of the act, prohibit;ing boycotts, would not be held up . pending the election, it might be just as well to let the issue go to the people, for there is no question in this writer’s mind that the people of California would back up the action of the legislature and vote approval of the anti ‘‘hot cargo’’ act by an overwhelming majority. ‘But if the referendum petitions are allowed to qualify, enforcement of the new law will be delayed for more than a year— and during that time, despite the country’s need for stepped-up production in the cause of national defense, labor will doubtless consider that it has a license to employ the: secondary boydott ‘against agriculture, business and national defense industries.

Many labor . leaders stated, off the record, that they were convinced the public was against th epractice, and that labor PAGE FIVE would take a drubbing if the question was forced to a vote of the psoDie. After a few weeks, however, the hot-heads were able to high-pressure the AFL executive committee into reversing itself and taking a position in favor of a referendum campaign.

The quickest, surest, most economical way to deliver that ultimatum is to defeat the petition drive now in progress. But if labor is able to qualify the petitions then California should do the t@b at the polls—and do it by such a smashing majority that the ‘hot car; 80” practice will be kicked into the discard for all time.
