THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1896. 11 THO UNODNS ON h BIG STAIKE. _— | Painters and Lathers Are| Demanding Better ‘ Wages. ONE CASE OF VIOLENCE. | start any trouble and run the risk of the back to work. The word went around the building like wildfire and ten minutes later every carpenter arose and was readv to quit work rather than be false to his union obligation. The four painters were told that they would have to leave. By this time the other contractors in the building—and there were many contractors there—told St. Denis’ foreman that it would be better to let the four men depart rather than entire building being tied up in a ge | trike. The wisdom of this wasq cen and the demands of the carpenters and contractors were complied with at once and no more painting was done in | the building during the aay. The second incident was even more of a surprise. That the painters are after St. ])v‘nl.s_ Inis no secret, for the Parrott building is the largest contract in the City at present. At Hooper’s mill a large | amount of the finishing work is being Stregen’s job at 1229 Ellis street, men will quit to-day. Orsie’s shop, one man joined,'the others are all right.

He took refuge in_a house nextdoor, where ihe blood on his face was washed off. Peter Trade was set upon by a number of the invaders. He was thrown to the floor and kicked and beaten on the head and face, which were covered with blood. McCluskey was also beaten over the head and face, butnot so badly as Trade. Walter Trade, the boy, was kicked in the mouth and Joseph Trade escaped without any violence. After commniitting the assaults the in- vaders beat a hasty retreat and had disap- peared before Sergeant Blank and a posse of inen came upon the scene.

It is said to be the result of months | do so anumber of the millmen went out and declined to handle any material for St. Denis. The men evidently had an nnderstanding that they would be sup- ported by their union or they would not have thrown up their work. The third feature was a surprise even to | the painters. The scouting committees sent out among the jobs all over the City met with success that they did not expect so early in the fight. Over thirty boss painters so far huve declared their willing- ness to accede to the journeymen painters’ terms. Amongthese is Thomas Downing, who has several of the largest jobsin the City that must be finished by specified dates. Permission has been given to painters employed by those men to return to work. The strikers regard this as a foreiunner of their ultimate victory, for it | will give their friendly employers a aecided advantage over those who decline to com- ply with their demands. Upham’s shep, Devisadero, union and non- unflon men quit work at noon aud the shop is tied up. Mike Donovan’s shop, men quit work and tied up the shop at noon. Jerry Suilivan’s shop also tied up.

William Schaefer, Pacific street, agreed to the painters’ terms. Fdwards, 19 Sharon street, agreed to all demands. Rainer & Stoomer acceded to the demands of the union. F. A. Krabler, 1430 Greenwich street, re- fused to recognize the union or pay over $2 a day if he can get any one at that price. _A committee of twelve was appointed to visit and argue with Mr. Krabler. The | committee was made this large as it was | stated that he had threatened to do bodily | violence to any more committees who | bother him or interfere with his workmen. said: “The lathers who were working on the job were paid off by Moorehouse on Saturday because he was dissatisfied with their work. He sent for me yesterday and Peter Trade and I entered into a contract with him to complete the job at so much ver day. We are members of the Lathers’ Union and took the work at union wages. “We started to work this morning, and Moorehouse, fearing trouble from the dis- charged men, told us if they came to the building not to resort to violence, as we would be amply protected. ““When the mob, headed by McCrae, one of the discharged men, appeared, we conld have killed every one of them with our hatclets as they could only get to us by a narrow staircase. When they came in where we were working we thought their intentions were peaceable, but were quickly undeceived when they tore down the scaffolding and attacked us.” Peter Trade and Orr brothers were taken to their home, 2378 Market street. Peter, who is well known in _tais City, having had the contract for the Fair building, the Spreckels building and other large struc- tures, was confined to his bed last evening by reason of many bruises on his body, produced by kicks. “It’s too bad,” said his mother, “that the boys should have beaten Peter so, for these many years he bas been working hard, supporting the whole family.” AR T COOKS AND WAITERS. Quite a Number of Them Meet In Response to a Call and Effect an Organization. In response to a call issued by E. W. Thurman, chairman of the organizing committee of the Labor Council, there was a good attendance of cooks and waiters at lower Metropolitan Hall last night. After Mr. Thurman had addressed the meet- ing on the benefits of organization and the advantages of becoming one of the many bodies now affiliated with the Labor Coun- cil, Frank Carr was chosen chairman and Leo Brown temporary secretary. The meeting was addressed by W. Mc- Arthur and T. F. Burns, both members of the organizing committee of the Labor Council,and also members of similar East- ern unions. Among the speakers who at- tracted marked attention was a cook who had been a member of the Cooks’ and Waiters' Union of Seaitle. He told of how that organization had started with a mem- bership of but six and had eventuaily grown to be 900 strong. Quite a number signed the roll and it | was then announced that _there would be | another meeting on next Monday evening at 8-30 o’clock, at Federation Hall, at 1159 Mission street, to effect a regular organi- tion and to augment the membership. -l TAILORS’ UNION. he saying: *‘The railroad has hitherto held that this testimony was erroneous, and now they seek to prove their case by its introduction.” | "It was ruled out. A number of affidavits | were introduced to show that the crops of | 1895 were less than those of 1894. The afternocn session began with the introduction of affidavits as to assessed valuation of property, and the first in that line, that of Jabez 8. Swan, created a long discussion as to its admissibility. As a member of the State Board of Equaliza- tion he declared nimself ‘“able 1o state that the assessed value of property gener- ally, including real estate in the different counties in this State, ranges from 30 to 60 per cent of the commercial value of such property, the general rule being that the assessed value is less than 50 per cent of the commercial value of such property.’” Judge Hayne objected to this stren- uously on the ground that this was not rebuttal; that what other property was assessed at was not at issue. The law re- quired that the property be assessed at its full value. It was no excuse for the break- ing of thelaw in this instance that the | law was broken generally any more than it | would be to excuse a thief from a specific | theit by urging that people generally were given to stealing. Judge Garber answered this point in a short address to the court. He had had a case where this very issue was saised be- fore the State Supreme Court. The court admitted the affidavit. Other aflidavits were introduced show- ing specific assessments, among them that | on'the property of Mr. La Rue. This Mr. Hayne objected to as being a slur on Mr. La Rue. “Itis only to show that Mr. La Rue is treated in the same way that the railroad is,”” said Herrin. Other affidavits presented the assess- ments of all the morning newspapers, which Mr. Hayne again objected to as be- ing miere vindictiveness on the part of the | railroad company. Another lot of affidavits of members of | the Republican convention that nomi- nated Mr. La Rue for his position as Rail- road Commissioner were presented going to disprove the assertion that he had re- fused to be bound by the plank in the | platform declaring for a 25 per cent re- duction of freight rates. Mr. Herrin having concluded Judge | Hayne presented the affidavit of George E. | Williams, to the effect that he (Williams), at a time that he was presiding over the convention, advised La Rue not to be bound by the plank and he (La Rue) said he would not. The report of the proceedings before | | the Raiiroad Committee at Washington | was introduced also in which C. P. Hun- | tington, in answer to Senator Morgan, de- | clared that the improvements or better- ments on the road all are charged to the current expenses fund, while Mr. Herrin | undertook to make it appear here that they were extra expenses and had not been considered by the Railroad Commis- San Francisco’s Leading and Most Successful Specialist.

In their effort to bring out a | small body of non-union workmen they | met with resistance, and blows were struck, I and threats of arrest are being made as a | result. There is one weak point in their armor which they have not overlooked. The in- formation that a strike was likely to take place was published two months ago in HE CaLL, at the time the Painters’ Union first made its demand. That information was not overlooked by many idle painters abroad, and there is a fear that they will flock to the City to take the places of the strikers. Word was received last night that the steamer from Portland, Or., which | is due ‘here this morning, has on board fifty painters from thatcity. A committee of twenty-five was appointed to be at the wharf as soon_ as the steamer lands and meet these painters. Every effort will be made to induce the newcomers to return to Oregon or join the local union. At all of the meetings held yesterday the leaders advised all the strikers to be pacific |in their dealings with those who are in- Another committee was appointed to visit the Palace Hotel painters. Those who tried to enter the hotel in the morn- ing were refused admittance. A committee of five was selected to call upon the fiye men at work on the Cuser job at xhe‘{’reiidio and induce them to join the painters’ ranks. About two dozen smaller committees were selectea to continue the work of call- ing upon the bosses, and where unfavora- bly met, of calling the men out on a strike. The striking painters met again last evening and the hall was filled to the doors. Most of the business was discuss- ing the latest reports made by the scouting committees, which was substantially as fellows: Smith’s shop, only one man working. Easton is willing to pay $3, but objects to Tailors’ Union that the charter for which they applied some time ago from the In- ternational Union of Garment-workers would be on hand last night when they met at 927 Mission stTeet, and that they would be able to effect permanent organi- zation, but they were doomed to disap- pointment. There is no doubt, however, on the part of the officers of the -local union that its application for membership in the inter- national body has been granted. It is be- heved tbat the delay is simply aue to the press of other business on the parent body. The mesting was not allowed to be bar- ren of results, however, for quite a num- ber of strong addresses were made calling upon the present members to use their utmost endeavors toward increasing the membership of the local union, and many to escape a challenge from the police.

It Is Possible All the Bullding Trades May Yet Be Called Out. The strike of the members of the Paint- ers’ and Decorators’ Protective Union has assumed proportions little dreamed of by the master painters or the public a week ago. Within the past twenty-four hours | it has developed features as starting as | they are interesting. Already other trades | unions have manifested a desire to take a hand 1n the fight, and two incidents yes- terday showed that the laboring men in many departments of trade have deter- mined to stand shoulder to shoulder in a common fight for what they regard as their rights. i Within the next thirty-six hours the strike may be taken up by theentire build- | ing trades unions of this City, now nearly 10,000 stron That the situation may be fully under- stood a few words of explanation of the situation may not be amiss. Two months | ago the Painters’ Unior notified the mas- ter painters that on March 1 they would | demand $3 a day as tbe minimum wage, | eight hours to constitute a day’s work, | and a recognition of the Building Trades | Counecil's working-card. ‘The latter body | is composea of the grincipa] unions in the | building trades in Ban Francisco. Under | the working-card system no union man is | permitted to work on a job with a non- | union man of any kind, and this prineiple | has caused more trouble in the present disagrzement than either of the other two demanas. Some master painters say that they do not unaerstand the working-card tem; others that they will not be dic- ed to by any union, and others that they are willing to give $3 for eight bours' work, but that they will employ any one desire. The principal fight has narrowed down to the demand for a recognition of the working-card system, many of the master painters having signified their willingness 10 agree to the other two vropositions. | Several interesting features were devel- | oped yesterday, The first is that the car- | penters openly came to the front in one of | - largest jobs in the City and told four on-union men that they could not work on that job. This occurred in the Parrott | puailding, on Market street. Early in the | morning the committee from the painters called at the building, and, assisted by the carpenters, induced the non-union paint- ers to go out on a strike with the union me: Shortly after the committee’s departure four of the non-union members slipped TWO BIG MEETINGS. Proceedings by the Members of the Union Engaged in a Strike. Shortly after daybreak about 600 mem- bers of the union started out to do wnissionary work among the members of the craft in all parts of the City. Their mission was to try and induce all journeymen to leave such jobs where the bosses had refused to comply with the de- mands of the union. By 2%v’clock these committees began to return to the headquarters, at 117 Turk street, until-the sidewslk of that blook wus black with meu. The leaders were jubi- lant with what had been accomplished. A little after 3 o’clock President Rose called the meeting in the Turk-street Tem- ple to order, and every chair in the big hall was filled. The principal business transacted was the hearing of committee reports and receivingz applications from painters and paper-hangers who desired to join the union., Many of the applica- tions were taken in by the committees who had been in the field. By the time the meeting closed seventy-five applica- tions were received. Most of the reports were received with applause, partigularly that from MclIvor, Rose and Ames, who had been Jooking after the St. Denis job in the Parrott building. The committee reported hay- ing called upon the painters at work in that building and after a littie argument and persuasion induced all the painters and decorators to leave. Even the boys and foreign workmen went out, and so far as the puinters were concerned the job was completely “tied up.”’ In their efforts they were ably assisted by the carpenters who were at work on the building. This was the first instance of the car- penters taking an active part in the strike, | and they made their presence felt soon after the committee left the building. The | committeemen had hardly turned the cor- | ner before four of the non-union men who had gone out with the rest returned and told the boss that they were willing to re- turn to work. This was not as easily aone as said, for no sooner did the carpenters observe their return than they went to the | backsliders and informed them that they would have to leaveat once and not return until the strike was settlec. This report was received with cheers by the painters and a vote of thanks was ex- tended to the carpenters for so loyally standing by the painters. It was further stated that the polishers at work on the same building were desirous of joining the Painters’ and Decorators’ Union if they could and President Rose said that the union would gladly receive them. Other reports came in by the dozens, the principal of which were as follows: Hanneman’s shop, one paper hanger at work who promises 10 join. Brace’s shop, men quit and the shop tied up. Thomas Downing’s men on inearly all his jobs drawn into iine and Downing has acceded to the demands of the union, Harvey Case, 3019 Washington, all quit ex- cept one man. Peter Creighton is employing non-union men on the Y. M. C. A. building. Three non-union men ure working on General Dimond’s house in the Western Addition. Harry Goddard, foreman on the Fair estate job, is undecided. Donovan is working Oakland men on Mr. Stowe’s house on Pine street, between Taylor and Jones. Cconey’s shop, all the men walked out ex- cept the foreman. He objects to the card. Hoffman, job Jones and Bush streets, com- mittee ordered off the premises. The report was made that five finishers are still working in the Parrott building. Charles Sheehan’s shop, Eighth and Folsom streets, is in favor of the union. Hooper's mill, men working on St. Denis’ material walked out. Union Iron Works, one man walked out rather than work nine and a hali hours for $250. All the painters there are non-union men. James F. Keeny’s shop is now a union shop. R. J. Tanzy's shop is the same. A'sumilar report was made with reference to Larry Dwyer’s shop in the Mission. McIvor reported that -the Portland steamer is due to-day with fifty painters on board to take the place of strikers. A resolution was passed that the painters proceed to organize the polishers and fin- ishers in with the painters. | Nearly 100 applications for membership were secured during the day and evening. | The meeting was corcluded by Mclvor making a rousing sveech prophesying suc- cess for the striking painters. e urged all committees and strikers to use pacitic | measures in dealing with the master painters and non-union men. The committees will meet agzain at 8 o'clock this morning, and there will be meetings'in the afternoon and evening. THE LATHERS’ STRIKE. A Lively Row at a Larkin-Street Building to Bring the Men Out. There are about ninety lathers in the City, of which number it is estimated that only ten are outside the union. Wages have run down lately, until men have been working for $1 a thousand. A strike has been orgered for $2a thousand and the card system. Tne strike has been on for several days and considerable feelin, has crept into the movement, because o the persistence of non-union men in con- . tinuing work. 4 The lathers held a largely attended meet- ing at the Turk-street hall last evening, at which new resolutions to stand firm for the increase were mude. There was a lively fight yesterday after- noon in a building in course of construe- tion on the north side of Post street, near Larkin, between lathers at work. and lathers out of work. The building is being erected by J. F. Logan, carpenter and builder, and Christo- pher C. Moorehouse has the contract for plastering. Five lathers, Charles Cahill, Peter Trade, James McCluskey and Joseph Trade, and Walter Trade, a boy, were at work on the top floor of the building be- tween 2 and 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, when about thirty men, headed by Daniel McCrae, entered the building and ordered tha five to quit work. They Adopt the Political Principles of the Labor Convention With Few Changes. At the meeting of the Woodworkers’ Union last night at Federation Hall a special session was announced to take up a special order of business. During this session the political principles adcpted by the Labor Convention that recently met in this City were ratitied with only a few minor changes. L, P, HUNTINGTON'S WORDS They Are Used Against Him in the Trial of the Railroad Case. Southern Pacific Lawyers Try to Prove That He Accepted the Whole Platform. The hearing in the application of the Southern Pacific Company for an injune- tion to restrain the Board of Railroad Oommissioners from ordering the pro- vosed reduction of freight rates was re- sumed before Judge McKenna in the United States Circuit Court yesterday. The imposing array of legal talent en- gaged on both sides lined up before the court with a mountain of books and papers for the Commissioners, Attorney- General Fitzgerald, District Attorney Foote, Assistant Attorney-General W. H. Anderson, J. C. Daley and Judge R. Y. Hayne, the latter leader of this force. For the railroad there were Wiiliam F. Herrin, Judge Garber, J. C. Fouids and E. 8. Pillsbury. The proceedings for the day consisted of the introduction of affidavits on beha!f of the railroad company in reply to the affi- davits presented on behalf of the Railroad Commissioners. The tedious recital of these was re- lieved somewhat by a crossfire of objec- tions and argument between Judze Hayne and Mr. Anderson on the one side and Mr. Herrin and Judge Garber on the other, The first of these was provoked by the offered affidavit of George T. Klink of the auditor’s department of the Sauthern Pa- cific in rebuttal of Railroad Commissioner La Rue’s affidavit concerning the earnings and expenditures of the Southern Pacific. The objection of Judge Hayne was to the effect that the affidavit was areumentative and made allegations of facts occurring since the date of the Commissioners’ pro- ceedings. 1 The court agreed as to the argumenta- ‘ahill acted as spokesman for the other i tive character of the affidavit and granted Pinkham's Compound and Plerce’s Prescrip- tion... % Mme.
