There is every prospect at present of the strikes of the Lathers’ and the Painters’ and Decorators’ unions coming to an end within a few and with success to the instructions were followed to the letter. In one or two instances the committees met men who threatened to use pistols if | interfered with, but they kept their tem- | pers. SLo iy | REPORTS OF RESULTS. | But Few Bosses or Painters Refused | | to Co-Operate With the Unlon. Shortly after 8 o'clock last evening President Rose appeared at the striking | painters’ meeting in the Temple to hear | the reports of the committees who had been at work. The hall was filled to the | dcoors, and, as the chairman gave an ac- count of their stewardship, the reports | were received with cheers. | ‘These reports showed that nearly all of | the more pretentious boss painters had ac- | ceded to the union’s demands.

The experience of many of the commit- teemen who had visited the various jobs and bosses in the City were amusing, thrilling and interesting. Among the re- ports of jobs and individuals were the fol- lowing: Committees 1 and 7, Davidson chairman. He said that the Barton Bros., on Kearny street, near Post, gave in. Cooks’ men are getting the wages. Don’t know_how the Cooks stand. Murray’s shop is re- | ported as solid for the union, boss and all. | Near the County Jail four men working for J. Figulo quit work, and tied up the job. In Hinckley alley four men fled over the rois and quit work. Baccigalupi's men came out for the union. The boss is un- willing to give in to the union demands.

With regard to the unfortunate affair on Post treet, in which several men were hurt in a free fight, the union states that it was started by the men assaulting the visiting committee, and that the latter were not the aggre: The painters’ strike seems to be nearly at an end, for the boss painters have given in to the demands of the strikers by the dozen, and now there hardly a dozen non-union shops in the C the prominent master painters a | edge that the strikers have actually won. So far there has not been a single overt and their conduct has won for them the respect of the general public. g ety THE PAINTERS’ STRIKE. The Journeymen Are Confident of Winning a Victory Very Soon. The striking painters believe that they see victory ahead and that success will crown their efforts for a better condition of affairs very soon. The master painters t and action have conceded the to the strikers. results to the men. Dozens of boss painters, both great and small, agreed to accede to the union’s demands, and sev- were presented by non-union men. Even one of the posses asked to be admitted into the painters’ union. The working-card em of the Building Trades Council, of which the painters’ union is a member, | still continues to be the stumbling-block, for the bosses claim that they do not un- | derstand its meaning in full. . As soon as it is explained the bosses find but little objection to its provisions. | _The union has fora long time past be- | lieved the foreign painters to be their | enemies, who would work for less wages | and longer hours and cut under the union | men on ali occasions. Yesterday tuey | learned that such was not the case. | committees visitine she Latin quarter were received with openarms, and every foreign | painter and boss spoken to ent: usiasti- | cally agreed to stand by the union, join | the union ranks and work shoulder to i shoulder 1n the cause of labor. They will | be organized at once and become a part of the Building Trades Council. | 1Itseems that the fear of pamters from | other cities coming to San Francisco to take the places of tne strikers was un- fourided.

Even the policemen encouraged the committee in its efforts. 3 Journeyman Painter Gabrelli, who joined the committee and did great service, said that many of his countrymen were in the hall and he wanted to address them in their native langnage. He spoke for ten minutes in Italian and explained the ob- jects of the union, the strike and the card system, and nis address was received with cheers by his countrymen all over the hall | . The next report came from the Mission district. Committee 2 (Parker chairman) reported that nothing could be done on the Hastings estate. On Valencia street two union men wereat work on Keefe's job._They came out. At Shaefer Brothers’ on Valencia street, near Nineteenth, | nothing could be done with the men. On | another of Keefe's jobs four men came out. Brace, the painter, said that he Id not accept the card system. Four union men there will ve called out to-day. Brace has not the proper idea of the card system. F. Whooten, on Golden Gate avenue, says he will not accept the card. Guilagher, ‘'on Minna street, ac- terms of the union. On chols’ job is a musician at | work as a painter, and he declines to come out. He will be reached through the Musi- cians’ Union to-day.

John- on’s job on Bush and Jones streets is ied up. Bernard’s job is ail rigut. Gal- | lagher of 611 Sacramento street promised to stand by the union. Deering’s shop, on California street, near Kearny, is will- ing to accede to all terms. The job on Geary and Leavenworth streets is all right. The men on Donovan’s job, at 1013 Pine street, are all on a strike. Kleinert’s job at 1706 Larkin street is all right. The same report was made_ for Shaffer. Jack- sou & Stone’s shop is non-union. The same report was made for R. Willis of 926 Washington street. Wagner’s job on Ellis street, near Powell, is all right. Committee No. 4, R. T. McIvor, chair- man—Thisdistrict was south of Market and east of Tenth. Mclvor said that on Bradley’s job were three old painters who were ‘‘pets” of the boss. They had re- fased to come out. Some one around the premises became scared at the presence of the committee and rang in for the patrol wagon. When the police arrived | and found that there was no trouble | they laughed at the timid ones and went | away. The committee called atthe Par- rott building to talk with a man and were ordered away. The committee complied with the demand. During the rest of the day the men worked amonsz the small | jobs down on the water front and with but | ns and seven bosses agreed to t e | the result. Stroegen, the painter, stands our against the union and will not accede to any de- mands. McAuliffe has come to terms and now has a union shop. - A big victory was won in John Croft’s shop. Thirteen non-union men struck last evening and will join the union on | Monday. A report was made_that Clark’s shop is | now for the union, Clark having acceded to the terms. Ehat & Ellert, Sutter street, sent word that they agreed to stand by the union last Monday, but that the report had been overlooked. J. O’Connell, 312 Fifth street, is now in | the line. Mike Gallagher, on Sacramento street, ngar Montgomery, now conducts a union shop. sz:‘tchel & Batteau have acceded to the | demands. The committee to look after the Kuss job at the Presidio was enlarged. & o:glmze ked four The committee appointed to the polishers reported having as] men at work would. The latter did so, but those who made the promise backed down and were jeerod at by the workmen on the job. G. W. Schreck, Bush street, agreed to the terms and has now a union shop. Mrs. Leman, Bush street, near Broderick, private job, three men quit, but she agreed to the terms and they went back. Sacramento and Laguna streets a large force of men quit in the morning. | George Peterson, 2 Leavenworth | street, came 0 terms, and the men wili go to work in the morning. It was reported that one or two of the striking_painters were in need of help. Ames, Mclvor, Hoffman, Tichnor and | Schultz were appointed as a general relief | committee to look after those who are in want in consequence of the strike. One or | two men have been substantially helped | by the union since the strike bezan. Cowmmunications were received from the striking lathers and the District Council of | Carpenters indorsing the painters’ strike | and promising all the help in their power. Mclvor made a short speech in which he said that the strike is practically won. Nearly all of the bosses have given in, and all that remains is for the men to con- tinue to stand together and show by their conduct that they are worthy of the re- spect of the public. The fightis for non- union men as well as the union men. A few more days will see the end, and the | end will be a victory. Journeyman Falon called attention to the unsanitary condition of the majority of the houses in this City. The Board of Health shoula look into the way the paper- hanzers and whiteners put layer after layer of paper and whitening on cld walls that are filled with the germs of disease. The striking painters will meet a, 3 o’clock to-day in the same place. | 117 gain gt | | -THE MASTER PAINTERS. The Secretary of the Assoclation | Fully Discusses the Striks Situation. From aliappearances the master painters have an idea that the striking painters have virtuelly won their fight. At least, as an organization they have taken no | steps in the matter. For a time their silence was construed by the strikers to be | suspicious, but from the expressions of several of the master painters they are now waiting for the journevmen to bring the obstinate bosses into line and then all will accede to the union's demands. J. H. Wagner, secretary of the Master Painters’ Association, yesterday spoke freely upon | the strike and the present situation. He said: I consider that the journeymen painters have virtually won their fight. I, for one, have acced=d to their demands and am pay. ing the wuges asked for. union is too weil organized and has too much i ottier unions in the buiiding irades for the bosses to make anything like & profitable fight. With the Building Trades Council at their back the striking painters can tie up any job or every job in the City for that matter. Their demands are not unreasonable, and why should there be a fight? It is the card system that ks,” but even this innovation in trades unionism need not cause any trouble until it has been tried and found to be a failu: Iam told. The trouble with the card system .is that the | painters themselves will kifl 'it. To-day I was told by a boss painter that he had hired two union painters who presented their cards. He toid them that he could not afford to piy $3 a day, but they told him that that did not make | any’ difference. as they wounld accept £2 50. | They were broke, they said, and had to have the money, even if it was below the union rate. Itis just such things as this that will make their demands—car stem and ali—in- perative before they kuow it. If the journey- men painters win, as I suppose they will, they will become indifferent and drift back to the | old order of things, as they have done many times before. They bave taken a strange time to strike, when business ,is =0 dull. Heretofore they struck when business was good, and we had to use their services. Now only a few of the boss painters have good conmtracts, such as Tom Downing, for example, and they, of course, gave in at once. The strikers hit St. Denis & hard blow, and there are many of the boss painters who are not sorry for it. St. Denis has the habit of hiring cheap foreign painters or dope-slingers to do his work gnd the rest of us have but lit- tle chance against him. When a man hires ignorant foreigners who eannot speak the | lish language for $£20 or $25 a month and finds | their boerd in chesp foreign boarding-houses for §15 » monih the rest 0f us cannot compete for contracts when we are obliged to pay $3 a | | In the East it has worked all right, so | day. There is ore thing about this strike that I do not understand, and that is why the Master Painters’ Association has not called a special meeting to consider and discuss the situation. Under our new constitution and by-laws the president and three members or fivé members can call a special meeting. So far there has been no apparent desire on the part of the members of the association to call a meeting, slthough I have expected for three days past & notice from the president to call such a meet- ing. Our regular meeting will not be held un- til the first week in next month. It seems to me that the master painters’ pur- pose in keeping guiet and not taking sn active partin this strike may be explained in this | way: If the striking painters are successful with the bosses who are holding out, then they will all agree to the terms. If they are not successful, then the members of the associa- tion will not be able to afford to pay higher s for shorter hours than their business rivals, who get men cheaper and work them longer hours. At the presensIdo not believe that the masters are looking around for new contracts. I for one will not untis the difficul- ties are settled. ELis s LATHERS EXPLAIN.

Instead of the visiting committee baving been the attacking parties it is claimed that the men at work were the as- sailants. It was stated yesterday by mem- bers of the executive committee that the scaffold under the workmen wasnot pulled | down, but that in the fracas it fell and in- ! jured several men. 5 The story of the invaders is that when they approached the building they were warned not to enter. “If you come in here we shall meet you | with “our hatchets,”” a lather inside ex- claimed. g To this the crowd replied that they did not propose to be bluffed by a few men and would enter anyhow and reason with them.
