CONTRACTORS AT STRIFE. Agreement of the Carpenters Objected To by Other Branches. MAY BE A GENERAL REVOLT. Brickmasons Determlned to Have Separate and Independent Contracts. Among the builders of the City, particu- larly the brickmasons and plumbers, the recent action of 160 contracting carpenters in bonding themselves by an ironclad agreement not to submit estimateson jobs the work of which was to be segregated, calis forth considerable unfavorable com- ment. The action of the contracting carpenters is based upon resolutions adopted June 1 by the Brickmasons’ and Plumbers’ asso- ciations. Those two bodies then pledged themselves not to do any work on build- ings where it exceeded $500 worth except by direct and separate contracts, and so no- tified the architects. The object was to have the work segregated and to do away with the supervision of the contracting carpenter. According to an old-time cus- tom the carpenter has been recarded as the master builder and handled the money. So many jobs had, however, resulted in unfortunate pro rata settlements that the other classes of builders concluded it would be advisable to do business independently of the carpenters. The carpenters’ agreement is very full and explicit. It is in effect that from Sep- tember 15 none of those who signed it wiil submit any estimate to any owner, agent or architect who segregates any portion of the work, or omits any portion from his specifications, the purpose being to force the building business back into the control of the carpenters. The kinds of buildings to which the agreement is to apply are frames, brick dwellings, and any brick, stone or iron building the cubic capacity of which is not over 150,000 cubic feet. For larger buildings than those of 150,000 feet capacity, no estimates are to be submitted when more than three separate contracts are to be let. Of course State, municipal and Federal buildings are exempted. The agreement also plndged its signers not to | handle any materials unless they are sup- plied through themselves, save where the owner is a bona-fide dealer 1n such mater- ials.

Williams, Westerlund' & Halmgren, Henry J. Weiss, William Winnie and Casper Zyierlein. One of the greatest opponents to tifis move on the part of the carpenters has been George H. Wolfe, editor of the Build- ing Review. At the time the agreement was made he wrote: Tho carpenters claim that they are the first to begin work on & building, and therefore should have supreme control. How is it, though, that in scores of buildings fully $20,000 worth of work is done before a stick of timber can be hauled. In foundations for downtown build- ings, where piles must be driven, oftentimes the amount named is sunk out of sight. In the school bids lately opened there is $5000 to be used for concrete foundations long before the carpenter need appear on the scene. Con- crete is fast becoming a nccesair{ for founda- tions, and it seems strange that after mechan- ics in thet line have placed thousands of dol- lars for work and materials they are to be told they must weit thirty-five days after the build- ing has been completed before they can get all their money. In the meanwhile the sewer- men must place in position the sewer-pipes, ete., as they oftentimes run under the walls; and so this work, which must be done before anything else, is not to be paid for till months afterward. Sifted down, the carpenters’ broad claims are that they must be 1esponsible for the entire building. If separate contracts are let, still it is the carpenter who must bear the brunt, and damage if any, before the building ean be turned over as completed. Individual con- tractors place their materiai in the building and call the architect’s or owner’s attention to that fact. In case & mantei is defaced after being placed in position, although the carpenter contractor has nothing to do with the same, an acceptance of the building is with- held till same is repaired, and as a rule the carpente] his credife He appended these figures to show just how the contracts had been let: ‘We herewith annex the number of contracts amarded to those belonging to the Builders' Exchange and those outside of the same, For the first geven months of the year there were noted in the Review 667 coniracts represent- | ing 716 butidings: Bullt by day’s work. Built by members of Built by non-members, 53 Total.... He made the statement, too. that ont of the number who had afiixed their sigua- | tures seventy-seven were men outside the Builders’ Association. On the other hand the carpenters con- tended that: The claims set up by the various sub-con- tractors that they, as & body, lose heavily by the contractors, who pay pro rates, is not con- sistent with the facts of the case, there being a State law requiring the contractor to furnish a bond in the sum of 25 per cent of his contract made tg inure to the benefit of all sub-con- trectors, laborers and material men. This is & guarantee of 25 per cent more than is given to any business outside of the build- ing business, and with ordinary prudence ought to secure the sub-contractor against loss. The matter is creating much discord in the Builders’ Exchange. J. R.Tobin, a contracting plasterer, said yesterday that if the carpenters persisted an effort would be made to drive them out of the ex- change. It was mainly due to the efforts of the late C. C. Terrill, he remarked, that they had been admitted in the first place. He placed their numerical strength in the exchange at abont sixty-five, adding that many o% these were behind in their dues. The total membership of the exchange is not far from four hundred representatives of all classes of building business. “Thomas Butler, a well-known brickma- son, who put up the Roman Catholic Ca- thedral on Van Ness avenue, the Domin- ican church, the Pacific Union Club, Flood, Fair, Pacific Mutual and First National Bank buildings, most of the asylums in the State and the first Chronicle building, expressed his sentiments thus: Ttis not fair to us. Why, take the Market- street Railway Company’s power-house on Bry- ant and Eleventh streets, for instance. The carpenter work in that emounts to only $1100, while the other branches of work foot up be- tween $18,000 and $19,000. Now, is it right that & man having only $1100 werth of inter. estin a job should have the running of $20,000 worth? A great many of those fellows who signed that sgreement are, or have been, pro rata men. They go in and take work at an un- profitable figure and then make their sub-con- tractors suffer for it. Mr. Tobin said: Many a time & sub-contractor does not get as much as 50 per cent of what he ought to get. Architect Wolfe said: 1 have seen this pro rata as low as 615 cents on the dollar. The demand of the carpenters is not fair to either the owner, the builder or the architect. Many of the builders interested in the controversy say that if work was segre- gated it would usually result in a sav- ing of money and better work to the owner. What the next move of the Brick- mason’s Association will be remains to be seen. Messrs. O. I. Brady, Robert Mitch- ell and Matthew McGowan are members of its committee. —ee CONVENTION MAY COME, Colonel Isaac Trumbo Brings Cheering News From the East. The Republican Committee May Decide in Favor of San Francisco. Colonel Isaac Trumbo of Utah arrived in the City yesterday. He expresses the be- lief that SBan Francisco can secure the Republican convention, but says that active and harmonious work will pe re- quired to gain the prize. During a recent trip to the Eastern States he visited several of the large cities and talked with many of the party leaders, including several mem- bers of the National Committee. He sounded the sentiment of the leading men on the convention question, hence he is ! convinced that & winning for this City can be made if proper exertion is put forward. Yeople in all the States west of the Missis- sippi River appreciate the fact that the delegates from the States further East will traverse their sections of the country on the journey to the Pacific Coast. In this travel delegates will gain some idea of the magnitude and wealth of the great region between the Mississippt Valley and the Pacific Ocean. Colonel Trumbo says that the Western sentiment favors San Fran- cisco. Colonel Stone, chairman of the sub-com- mittes appointed last Thursday night by the National executive committee of the Union League Club, heard yesterday of Colonel Trumbo’s arrival and will call his committee together this week to confer with the latter. The fact is taken into consider- ation that Colonel Trumbo has-had many personal interviews with Mr. Manley of faine, General Clarkson of lowa and other members of the National committee. Itis thought that he will be able to present some points for the guidance of the sub- committee which were not conveyed in the ‘correspondence between P. B. Corn- wall and the committeemen. Colonel Stone has faith in the ability of | San Francisco to succeed and proposes to make an earnest canvass to secure the sup- port of citizens. The next meeting of the joint committee of the Union League Club and the Repub- lican State executive committee will take place September 19. CADETS OF THE: CROSS, Initial Field Day of the League at Schuetzen Park Yesterday. Company A Won the Pennant—The Prize-Winners of the Eleven Events. The League of the Cross Cadets spent Admission day in field athletics at Schuet- zen Park. It was its initial field day, and the records made in the eleven events of yesterday demonstrate! that the pains- taking preparations had not been in vain, All the companies except Company H were there. Company H was at El Campo giving an exhibition drill at the St. Bren. dan’s Church picnic. To the first-prize winners gold medals were awarded, the second-prize winners receiving silver medals. A beautiful silk pennant was presented to the company whose members scored the largest number of pomnts. The successful company was Company A, its aggregate being 44 points. Company C Dresse% it pretty cfi:sely with 42 points. Four hundred cadets iff uniform marched from Van Ness avenue down Golden Gate avenue and Market street to the ferry in the morning, but just in time to miss the 9:30 A. M. boat, which was to have taken them over. This delayed leaving the City until 11 A. ».

Colored Prelate Refutes Some Remarks of Bishop Goodsell. SHOCKING NEGRO DEPRAVITY. Sixth Day’s Session of the African Methodist Episcopal Con-~ ference. The most exciting session that the Afri- can Methodist Episcopal Conference has yet had took place yesterday morning, when Bishop Lee made an address upon “The Relative Condition of Colored and White People in the United States.” Most of the audience belonged to the colored race, but there were a few white people present, including Rev. Dr. Nelson (and Chaplain McCumber, U.S.A. These gentlemen were among the foremost in applauding the enthusiastic manner in which Bishop Lee took up the cudgels for the people of his race. After declaring that an unchristian spirit was shown by white church members to their colored brethren, because of the color of their skins, the speaker turned his attention fo some remarks that were made a few months ago when Miss Tda B. Wells, the colored lady orator, was in San Francisco. “Bishop “Goodsell said then that he could give ‘thrilling evidences of negro depravity’ as a justification of lynchings in the South,” said Bishop Lee. ‘‘Could we not also give ‘thrilling evidences of white men’s depravity?’ Every white man would not be lynched, however, be- cause a few white men had given instances of depravity. They seem to condemn the race because of the occasional acts of a few individuals who are not yet out of barbar- ism. ““They talk—Bishop Goodsell and others— of the necessity of protecting white women from colored men, There is no protection for black women against either the white hand or the black, but I would like to ask if they ever knew of a house of wor- ship used by a colored congregation with- in the walls of which two young girls were done to death within a fortnight?” The applause aroused by this pointed allusion to the Emmanuel Baptist Church tragedy having subsided, Bishop Lee con- tinued his address in exhorting his people to be modestly persistent in asserting their rights and to remember that the world would be likely to take them at the valua- tion they placed upon themselves. He commented on the moral worth of the ministers of the Pacific Coast, saying that they compared favorably with ministers in any part of the country. *‘The general work of the California district is in a flourishing condition. Throughout the last year there was an average of one new church, or one new parsonage, built per week. I am glad, indeed, that the work has increased financially and spiritually.”” Part of the morning session was occu- pied by the reports of officers. The presid- ing elder, Rev. O. Summers, reported a flourishing condition of the church. Rev. J. E. Edwards of Oakland and Rev. E. T. Cuttman of San Francisco told of progress, and Rey. S. 8. Freeman of Pasadena re- counted good work done by the Sunday- school Union. He also commended the corresponding secretary of the union, Rev. C. 8. Smith, and advised the brethren to give liberally toward_the reconstruction of their Sunday-school headquarters at Nash- ville, Tenn., which were recently burned. The afternoon session was devoted to the reports of various committees, including the educational report and the report of the committee on the state of the church. A. M. E. APPOINTMENTS.

The steamer Walla Walla, which arrived from the north Sunday evening, had two salmon fishermen in her steerage who tell a woeful tale of a poor catch and ill treat- ment. They are a part of fifty-four men who left last April on the bark John Pot- ter to fish for the Alaska Packing Associa- tion at Pyramid Harbor. The wages were to be $100 and 1)4 cents for each fish eaught until the end of the pack. The $100° was to be paid for working the bark up to Pyramid Harbor, loading the sal- mon pack aboard and working her back to this port. . At the fishery the men were employed building packing-houses and other work as much as possible. because that was gratuitous labor. Still the men did not complain nor refuse to work. When the salmon pack was completed and the load- ing almost fimshed Superintendent Mur- ray began to rush matters. The season bad been poor and expenses were high, consequently a stroke of policy must be struck. One night, after the men had been work- ing all day putting the cases into the Pot- |, | ter, Murray ordered them to turn to and unload a lighter. They could see no rea- son for continuing their labors far into the night and refused. This was evidently what was wanted of them, for they were promptty discharged and paid off. Each man received $50 for working the vessel to Alaska and payment for the fish he had Following were the regular events and | Snsih e e b amount. This was a goodg‘ob. as fifty-four men at $50 was a saving of $2700. Then they were told to clear out. It is 90 miles to the nearest mail steamer place, which meant a canoe trip at $4 per man. The association’s steamer was going down and Murray offered to tow them down in a big lighter for $3 apiece. Having no other way to get out of the inhospitable place they cousented, which gave $162 more to the association. By getting thus rid of the men one month earlier about $12 in food per man was saved, which amounted to $648, a total of $3510 taken +| from the unfortunate fetlows. They were towed all night in the open lighter, huddled together like freezing sheep, and after getting down to Chileat the company, checks in which they were paid off were only good at one store, where they were obliged to trade before they could get their paper cashed. Many of the men are stranded in Alaska, and it is imf»ossible to tell when they will get out of the country. The manner in which they have been imposed upon, according to the repost, does not seem creditable to the big salmon syndicate. e ¥ OOUBSING AT OASSERLY'S. Emin Pasha Wins the Final of the Big Forty-eight Dog Stake. The finish of the forty-eight-dog coursing stake that was begun at Casserly’s Park on Sunday last took place yesterday in the presence of a big crowd of sports, who saw that phenomenal young dog, Emin Pasha, Kev.
