Lassen County Chamber of Commerce Update
by Patti Hagata
Executive Director
California employers and businesses are required to post updated employment posters at each place of business; the penalty for not posting the required notices is a steep fine of $17,000.
The Chamber will be ordering a supply of Labor Law posters that feature both federal and state labor laws on one poster and will be available for sale to Chamber members for $25.00 per poster and $35.00 to non-members. The poster contains the 16 mandatory notices that must be posted at each work place.

Susanville Notes
November 6th, 1923
|
P.M. Woods, formerly employed at Westwood by the Red River Lumber company, was arrested by Marshal T. Long as he was marching along Main Street barefooted and with his shoes in his hands. He is now confined in the county jail and will be tried in a few days for his sanity.
The Athletic Club of Susanville is now an assured organization, as the necessary quota of 150 men has been enrolled and the women's class is in the process of formation. W. H. Mohler, popular wrestler, is responsible for this organization. He was formerly with the U.S. Navy and has had years of experience along this line which assures this club of expert guidance. The club will meet in the Story Club gymnasium which is now very well equipped but which will have some additions made in its athletic apparatus.

Jimmy Barnes, Litchfield's premier bootlegger and former Southern Pacific agent, was sentenced to six months in the county jail by Superior Judge Burroughs for unlawful sale of liquor.
Barnes has been arrested numerous times by Sheriff Carter and his assistants hut always managed to get off with a mild fine at the hands of Justice of the Peace Woods of Susanville.
Yesterday one of the best equipped stills in Lassen County was destroyed by deputy sheriff A.C. Hunsinger and C.A. Norwood. The still was found under a pile of sawdust at the Jellison mill near Buntingville. The still was hidden in a unique manner. In order to get into the room the deputies had to go under a stream of water. Eight barrels of mash and forty gallons of moonshine were destroyed as it was not needed for evidence, there being no one present when the raid was made. A 200 gallon vat was also destroyed.
J.C. Horn commonly known as Coal Oil John was arrested in Westwood on a prohibition charge. He appeared before Judge Green and was bound over to Superior Court for trial.
