The Dilemma of the Election Commis- sion in Regard to the Primary Elections. At the suggestion of the City and County Attorney the Election Commissioners have se : gnatures of all their em- ployes toa pledge that they will not hold them personally responsible for their sal- aries The Election Commissioners want to be on the safe side of the legal controversy being agitated at this time in regard to the powers and emoluments of their office, 4 their action in this instance plainly indicates the attitude they will take in re- to the recently passed primary law. upreme Court was called upon last o issue a writ of mandate com- The € Triday to is ! peiling Auditor William Broderick to sign the salary warrant of James Denman, and on result is dependent the disen- tangling of one of the greatest political E Is with which the people of this State have vet had to deal. The court has ninety days in which to render its decision, but this will carry the jssue clear beyond the month of January, n which the new prim that the Election Commission must select thirty men who are on the assessment-roll fmeach of the precincts of the cityand county, from which five officers of election 1st be selected to officiate as such at the rimary without pay. Unless the decision of the Supreme Court decides the new law constitutional before Janu 31, 1896, the Election Com- ission will not be in a position to go ad with its work without going down into its own pocket to defray the expenses of clerical hire to select the desired 9000 lable men. Judging from the stand Mr. Denman in his suit for sal- not likely that he or his confreres t the laiter course. decision of the court be in Denman, it would carry with titutionality of the primary the judgment of the lead- State must follow the issue. Already District Attorney Ryan, of Sac- mento County has advised the Board of ipervisors of Sacramento not to act un- der the primary law, as it is unconstitu- tic Shou favor of M it the uncor lay he Election Commissioners here hayve asked the Board of Supervisors for an a} propriation of $32,000 for the primaries, and that sum isincluded 1n the last tax levy. If thelaw is declared unconstitu- tional after January,and the primaries are held, there wili be a clear loss of the money, which, on the basis of past prima- ries, will.not be $32,000, but nearer $100,000. It is apparent from the expressions of the leading legal lights that the passage of the law by the t Legislature was under a misapprehensior The old iaw provided that the counties of the State be divided into three classes. All those of over 20,000 inhabitants were first class; ail over 8000 and under 20,000, second class; and all below 8000, third class. Now, the general primary law refersonly to first and second class counties. evident that the Legislature thought that the general primary law applied only to San Francisco and Los Angeies counties, which are the first and second class coun- ties under the county government bill. But the lawyers now say that the county government classification is not broad enough to take in elections. Itis merely “ior the purpose of regulating the com- pensation of the officers of the several counties of the State therein classified.” Consequently all the counties of the ate which are not } roviding for primary elections by drawing the names of thirty electors from each election precinet during the month of January basis from which the officers of the pri- mary election can be selected, are making it absolutely impossible for the political parties to hold conventions whose cax dates will be entitled to places on the printed ballots. This is the status of course unless thac the primary law i ded i itutional. 1 parties hold conven- they have in the past the candi- 11 be worse off than those runnir independently. because, in additi their reguiar nomination, they will bave to get out a private list in the same way as the inaependent candidates, who are probibited by the general primary law from having a place on the ticket. prohibition is general primary law, which provides that no candidate can have his name printed on any ballot to be voted for as a candi- date for public office at any genera! elec: tion in this State unless he shall have been nominated by a convention com osed of delegates chosen as provided by hat act. The convention must file its certificate of nomination of candidates with the County Clerk not less than thirty days be- for the day of election. Where there is an indevendent candidate who gets out his separate petition he can file his petition not less than twenty days prior to the day of election. This gives the independent candidate ten days more leeway than the Tegular nominee. One of the strongest points, then, in favor of the independent is that he can file his petition on the last day and then get out an injunction, relying on section 21 of the primary Jaw, and prevent the County Clerk from printing the name of the con- vention candidate on the oflicial ballot. But this is but one of the many compli- cations which will be brought about unless the new law is declared unconstitutional. See, for instance, what it will do in Shasta County, where heretofore never has there been a primary held population is mainiy at Redding, and the candidates were nominated there by the County Committee without any unneces- sary expenditure of money. Now each little precinct spread ail over the county will have to be saddled with a separate pri- mary. This is impracticable, just as 1t is in many offthe precincts of this City, where it is positively out of the question to gather thirty men who are on the assess- ment-roll. Martin Kelly is the one who caused the new law to be drawn up, and should the Supreme Court uphold it he will have the political machine more firmly in his grasp than ever before. In the ‘event of his caring to join forces with S8am Rainey the pair will virtually be in control of the con- ventions of the two leading parties. Take as an instance that Kelly is known to own the Twenty-eighth District. There will therefore be no struggle there and he will- be free to take his lambs into any other district in the town where there is a conflict. The Jaw requires that there be a ballot-box in each precinct for each po- litical party. That means about three. On account of that number and the com- plexity of the Jaw the professional ward- heeler will have no difficulty at all in con- centrating in any precinct of any district in which the better class of citizens show any interest. The law also requires that the Election Commission designate the color of the ballots for each party. This opens up an easy method of buying votes, with a rea- onable certainty that the man bought ill deiver the goods. It is the same prmm}.la over again of the old ‘“tape- worm” ticket. In that case the bosses did It is | to be used as a | This | ated in_section 21 of the | The county’s voting | what they will be able to do again—tell by the size or the color that the voter deposits the ballot furnished him. MR.FLOURNOY’S OPINION Disputes the Assertion of Spelling as to the Rights of People’s Bauk Directors. The board of directors of the People’s Home Savings Bank. in order to refute the statements recently made by T. Carl Spel- ling, referred the matter to the bank’s at- torney and has received a litter of advice of which the following is a copy : DecevzER 19, 1895. Board of Directors of the People’s Home Savings Bank—GENTLE: I advise you as follows upon the matters stated in the communication of T. C. Spelling concerning the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. 1—That the California Safe Depositand Trust Company by its articles of incorporation and under the laws of California, has the right to transact such banking business as it is now doing with the People’s Home Savings Bank. 2—That the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company is authorized by law to do just such business as it has undertaken for such de- positors of the People’s Home Savings Bank as have assigned their claims to it for coliection. 3—That the People's Home Savings Bank can hout the least danger pay dividends to the ornia Safe Deposit and Trust Company as nee of the depositors of the People’s Home Savings Bank. 4—That aft careful examination of the incorporation and present condition of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company, I am unable to find anything to warrant the conclnsion, or even & suspicion, that any rights of any one connected with or interested in the People’s Home Savings Bank are in any way jeopardized by the relations now existing between the People’s Home Savings Bank and the California Safe Deposit and_Trast Com’ pany. Yours very truly, JonN FLOURNOY, torney for People’s Home Savings Bank. LETTERS FIR PRSDIERS Women's State Federation Will Send 700 Christmas Missives. A Number of Important Committees Were Appointed at Yester- day's Meeting. The rainy afternoon and the Christmas bargain counter were factors yesterday in effecting a small attendance of ladies at the regular weekly meeting of the Women'’s State Federation. A quorum was not obtained until quite Iate in the afternoon, so an informal meet- ing was called, during which the needs and shortcomings of the association were discussed. Some dissatisfaction has arisen among the associate members over their inability | to take an active participation in the ques- | tions of the society by vote. It was explained that allowing an asso- | ciate member to vote would give to that member an equal power of decision to twenty-five and a fraction of the members of contingent organizations represented by the delezate members. The associate members consider the pay- ment of their yearly dollar dues entitles As it is they have the pri ing questions at issue, but s the right to vote for officers. delegate member represents twenty-five | and a major fraction of members of her { particular society, four associate members | would equal, if the franchise were theirs, tsrvent; five or seventy-six represented | membe It was resolved to prepare a circular fully explaining this feature of organiza- tion, and the following committees were formed for future wor: Prison, education, divorce, police,Zpublic in- stitutions, free baths and sanitars matters, | legisiative, bill posters, sweating system and child labor, press, dives and other low resorts.

REQUEST FROM WASHINGTON. Raw Materials, Freight Rates, Cli- mate, Soil and Products to Be Reported On. A joint committee from the Chamber of Commerce and the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association met in the Mer- chants’ Exchange building yesterday after- noon to discuss the threatened invasion of Japanese goods manufactured by cheap labor, and generally to take steps toward the collection of data showing what partic- ular interests arein danger and to what extent they are threatened. The Chamber of Commerce was repre- eunted by Hugh Craig of the New Zealand Insurance Company and Wakefield B aker of Baker & Hamilton; the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association by Julian Sonntag of the Giant Powder Company, and Andrea Sbarboro represented the grocers and liquor-dealers. F. H. Dingle, assistant secretary of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ ~Association, was also present. Sub-committees were appointed to make investigations in response to the following representatives in Congress. OF REPRESENTATIVES, U. 8., % SHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 10, 1 W. IH. Dimond, President Chamber of Com- merce of S. F., San_Francisco, Cal.—DEAR SIR: In recent conversations with members of Con- gress 1 endesvored to call their attention to the unfair competition of Japanese manu- facturers with American menufacturers. I could speak only from memory as to the prices at which the Japauese were laying down goods in San Francisco. Icould say enough to make them realize the inevitable ruin that would come to american manufacturers unless some- thing were speedily done to protect them against the cneap and under-paid labor of Japan. I will be pleased if your organization would send me scme data that I could use be- forecommittees and in Congress in defense of laws which would protect our country against this alarming invasion of America by foreign products. We had, as you know, great diffi- culty in convincing the Eastern people of the danger of Chinese invasion because we did not commence promptly. Iwish to sound the alarm at the ontset of this Japanese invasion in the hope that the people of th: East may see that it threatens their interests as well as those of California, and stop it at the outset. The sooner you can give me these facts the better it will be for us all. 1 address your organization because you represent mérchants and manufacturers of San Francisco, and they represent the Pacific Coast. Awaiting your reply, I am very truly vours, GROVE L. JOHNSON. The committees were instructed to wor to the common purpose of obtaining exact information on Japan's production and facilities for manufacturing and exporting the following lines of goods: Textiles in- cluding cotton and other fabrics, rope and jute, metals and the products of iron and steel, buttons, matches, watches, bicycles. Ail the raw materials used by Japan, where they are obtained and at what fig- ures and how much of them are native to the country will be investigated by Wake- field Baker, the local dealer in iron and steel and wooden manufactures, by J. Currier, president of the Carlson-Currier Silk Company, with works at Petaluma, and by John Rutherford of the California Cottov-mills at Oakland. This committee will ascertain what Japan’s present facili- ties are for manufacturing any and all products that would compete eitherin this country o1 in some other market with goods manufactured in America. Freight rates on Japanese manufactured articles exported to markets usually sup- plied by American manufacturers will he inqguired into by Jutian Sonntag, by W. G. Cartis of the Traflic Association and by E. L. Fitzgerald of be Labor Commission. The soil, the climate, the temperature and the agricultural and mineral possi- bilities of Japan will be reported on by Andrea Sbarboro, J. P, Currier and John Rutherford. These committees will be ready to report January 6, when another meeting of the joint committee will be held to lesten to and act upon the array of facts that is ex- pected to be presented by them. After the meeting the following tele- gram was sent to Washington by the chair- man of the joint committee: SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Dec. Grove L. Johuson, Washington, D. Confer- ence committee Manufacturers’ Association and Chamber of Commerce organized and 1895. aprointed investigation commitiees to-day. Will senda detail information earliest possible day. HUGH CRAIG, Chairman. Julian Sonntag had come into the com- | mittee-room armed with a big package of | clippings not only from the local press | but from the interior press and from East- {ern journals that have shown great in- terest in the threatened cheap compe- tition from the Orient. The committee decided, however, that specific ana well authenticated instances rather than gen- eral expressions would be the most effec- tive means of convincing Congress of the impending danger so that some. protec- tive measures might be adopted to shield the American producer and manufacturer. Sonntag said itis well known that the enor- mous amount of nine carloads of buttons is on 1ts wav from Japan to supply a local firm. He also told of cheap watches, made in Japan for much less than a dollar, that would be a menace to the Ameri- can watchmakers. It seems that full-jeweled watches with fine movements are made in Japan and put on the market in silver cases for $10, the movement alone being valued in New York at $20. The Japanese are able to do this by employing women and girls to make the delicate movements by the aid of microscopes and at 3 cents per day. Craig told of a St. Louis jute manufac- turer named Pierce, who had gone to Man- chester and then to India for the purpose of deciding the advisability of moving his whole piant to Calcutta and exporting the | manufactured goods from there to the American markets. Pierce told him that while in Manchester this suinmer he sawa petition signed by 40,000 operatives out of employment requesting Parliament to im- vose the hours of labor limit upon India as a possession of Great Britain, in order to protect them from competition that de- prived them of employment. He also told of an American who went to Japan to manufacture a patented article there by cheap labor and export it to this country. Inside of thirty daysthe Japan- ese had copied the design and were put- ting the same article on the market for a third of what he was doing it for. Pierce bad visited, while in Japan, a great silk and tapestry factory that had been in olperatiun for 260 years, and he had de- clared that the best Ainerican manufac- tures of such articles could not compete with the product, either in skillful work- manship or cheapness. Craig added, on his own accouut, that there is talk of putting in a jute plant and la nail factory in Japan. Already, he de- clared, their manufacture of cotton yarns had driven the English goods out of the market. He said that everything, from matches at twelve boxes for a cent and suits of tailor-made clothes at $8 and $10 to a first-class sailing yacht at $500, can be end is produced in Jupan by means of the ridiculously low wages paid the workmen, THE STOOK MARKET.
