Every Shop in the City Will Be Picketed by Union Men To-Day. A COMPROMISE SUGGESTED. The Building Trades Unions Likely to Take a Hand in the Trouble Very Soon. The painters’ strike was not productive of any very great sensations yesterday. As it stands it is a stubborn fight between the master painters and the union jour- neymen, and both sides express their con- fidence in winning. The master painters declare that work is very scarce, and that they have all the men they want to finish their work. The strikers claim that with few exceptions the City is practically tied up, At 7 or 8 o'clock this morning the striking painters will “*picket” every shop in the City where any work is being done and endeavor to get the workingmen to quit and join the strikers. - The leaders have commanded the pickets not to use any violence whatever. It was stated yesterday that the whole- sale paint-dealers will endeavor to in- duce the master painters to come to-some satisfactory understanding with the strik- ers in order to put an end to the trouble. A conference of the paint-aealers and master painters was held last evening, but they would not discuss what had been done. The several unions of the Building Trades Council will shortly decide what action they will take in the painters’ strike. The council’s card system will go into effect on April1. On that date they will have to stand for the card system, whatever may be their decision in the painters’ strike. Sofar the majority of the building trades union men are in favor of standing by the strikers. e WILL STAND FIRM. Striking Palnters Determined That No Boss Shall Be Speclally Favared. There was an interesting meeting of the striking painters held yesterday morning and another in the afternoon. At both gatherings plans relative to future action were discussed. Several suggestions were made, but definite action was deferred until the master painters show exactly what they propose to do. A few members agreed that the strike should be continued against the bosses who are unfriendly to the union and that some of the men be allowed to return to those who would come out openly for the union and for the working-card system. By this the friendly bosses would secure all the work and the men who received employment could assist in the support of the idle strikers. g It did not take very lonf to upset this suggestion. Those who claimed to have had experience asserted that, while there are many good, honest bosses in the City, such a course would never succeed. All men cannot be relied upon, they said, and cited their experience of a week ago. Many bosses who got their men back:to work by professing friendship for the union, and who acceded to all demands, were among the first to subscribe to the Master Painters’ Association’s ultimatum in which they declined to recognize the working-card system. The proposition to start into the co-oper- ative business and bidding for contracts in the open market was also discussed. In the afternoon C. L. Ames, chairman of the committee of twenty-five on co- operation, reported that at a special meet- ing of the committee it was decided to rec- ommend that the union stand firm and solid for a few days longer at least. Good news for the union had been received. It was in substance that at a meeting of the wholesale paint-dealers the latter had de- cided to meet with the master paintersand use their influence to induce the bosses to comply with the demands of the painters. The committee also recommended. that every shop in the City be ‘‘picketed,” so as to induce all men at work to guit and stand by the union. Mr. Bean of the same committee said that St. Denis, who has the painting con- tract on the Parrott building, will be obliged to put twenty painters to work this morning or give up the contract. A special committee of twenty-five was appointed to picket the 8t. Denis jobs, half to remain at the Parrott building and haif at the shop. This committee was simply to use moral suasion to keep the men away from the work. A communication was received from the Los Anieleu Council of Building Trades in which that body sent to the striking painters of this City a resolution indorsing the strike and expressing the hope that the strikers will win St T S FEARS OF TREACHERY. A Slight Internal Difference in the Union Was Quickly Rectified Yesterday. The regnlar meeting of the Painters’ Union last evening was particularly inter- esting, because, for the first time, things were said that were evidently caiculated to throw discredit upon some of the principal leaders and most active workers. So far matters have progressed with remarkable harmony, and each has had fall confidence in tbe other, barring, of course, the very few that were known to have been false to their union obligations. The hall at 115 Turk street was crowded, and seventy-five new members were initiated. Later in the evening it developed that seven of the Lot were car-painters, working nine hours a day, and that the work they are on will last for some time longer. Consequently a protest was raised, on the ground that they could not live up to the obligations they had f‘un assumed. First, all members of the union are or- dered to be out on a strike, and, second, no union painteris allowed to work over eight hours. The new meiabers stated, in defense, that Mclvor, Rose and Ames had given them permission to- join the union with the understanding that they could continue to work and to work nine hours a day. Of course this created a small rumpus of dissatisfaction because no one in the union has the right to grant special privileges. Rose said that some time ago he told some painters to send in theirapplications and discuss the situation witg the com- mittee on credentials. He thought it wouid be all right, but he granted no THE BARK THEOBALD WHICH WILL CARRY MINERS FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO COOKS INLET [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] ; ial privilege. Ames and MclIvor also enied that they had assumed such a re- sponsibility, and the latter denied remem- bering the faces of the car-painters. The car-painters were given their initiation fee and aHowed to retire. Those whose names were mentioned apprehended that certain forces were at work to cast discredit upon thgm and thereby create internal dissen- sion. However, if such attempt was made 1t failed, for the best of feeling prevailed after the matter had been straightened out. Several painters arrived during the day from San gflse and Sacramento, but they were met by the strikers and taken into the union. Great enthusiasm was shown when the following letter was read: To whom it may concern: Members of the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific must not take the places of striking painters. Any member of the Bailors’ Union found taking such places will be strictly dealt with according to the rules of the union. ED ROSENBERG, Secretary pro tem. Sailors’ Union. This settled a troublesome it was stated that the bosses r ened to finish their contracts with sailors who run ashore for a few days’ light work and tobacco money. s It was reported that the strikers scored another victory.” A non-union crowd of pape-rhangers and painters were at work fitting up the Original Creamerie at 865 Market street. The strike committee in- duced F. W. Marston, one of the proprie- tors, to dismiss the non-union workers. The matter of foreman came up and it was decided that no painter who actually works with a brush can be considered asa painters’ foreman. & The striking painters are to have a big benefit in the near future. Danielson, one of the hardest workers, was out yesterday and found a lot of professional theatrical people and managers who are willing to assist in such an enterprise. He reported that he had enough talent to give a first- class show, and a committee of four was appointed to act with him and make ar- rangements. TR SR MASTER PAINTERS PLEASED Claim to Have Sufficent Men for All Work In Hand—Black’s Views. E. H. Black of the Master Painters’ As- and at best mere guesswork. The associa- tion has appointed a statistician, and we expect that be will be able .to keep us posted on what is goingon. We computed that forty master painters were members of the association when thistrouble began, and then we estimated that about 300 men were steadily employed. Now the number of members is nearly doubled, ana we |approximatfi that the men employved by them is about 500 to 600.” “0f course, we have not so many em- ployed at present, because some work is postppned, and also because this is the dull season. 2 . “N. P. Kuss had nineteen men on his roll Saturday night, and St. Denis has twenty- five in his shop, staying with him right through. There are just fifty in two places. A fair estimate of the number of painters working in this City, say, is 300.” Jeremiah'Sullivan, a prominent member | of the Master Painters’ Association, said: | “I don't want any men, and am quite well | satisfied if the fight keeps upall summier; it won't affect me in the least. “One fourth of the men who went out | on chis strike won't go back to the shops. | They won’t be taken back. There wil! be too many men to take their places. The | journeymen who were idle and could not | get employment, because there were more men than work, have joined the union through this strike, so that even if the whole trouble was settled there would not be work for all the union men, The men who"quic steady jobs will be the real suffer ers. g, CONFERRED WITH DEALERS A Strictly Secret Session Is Held In the Occidental Hotel. The executive committee of the Paint | and Oil Club, a society of dealers, and the | directors of the Master Painters’ Associa- | tion held a conference 4ast night at the Occidental Hotel. An understanding was had that the proceedings should be ob- served as strictly secret, so, although the representative men of each organization announced with a solemn show of candor that nothing pertaining to the strike was diecussed, and in fact nothing that would interest anybody, they could not possibly divulge what had taken place. Before the meeting was held .Mr. Black Harry M. Saunders, the New Business Agent for the Carpenters’ Unions, (Drawn from a photograph.] sociation reviewed the situation quite freely yesterday from his point of observa- tion. He declared that so far as his asso- ciation was concerned the strike was not a recognized fact, and, he added, with Jere- miag Sullivan, a tellow member, that one- fourth of the men who quit work will never again be employed in association shHops. *‘We are working right along,” he said, “that is, those of fis who have anything to do. There was an understanding at the meeting of our association that those members who had men to spare would send them here to my shop, and those who needed men would call upon me. Ihave not had a single call to-day from any of the shops, for there were enough men and to spare. The truth of the matter is there are painters enough in San Francisco to- day to paint a town three times ? large. I have sent out only ten-men since the strike began, and from this the inference is that no distress at all exists .among the bosses, not that they are doing as much work as otherwise they would. Some of ‘the work has been postponed, but all work in hand is being done. ' A great many men have come here for work, which I could not give them, be- cause I had no piace to send them. I' really expected & erent state of | that is, I would be put to much incénve- nience, and that we would have to start a kind of labor bureau, but we have bad no trouble in getting painters.”’ y % "lhn.{eu lmhilfd the number of painters at work to-day in San Francisco?” “No; that would be almost - impoasib! of the Master Painters said: ‘“This meet- ing has nothing to do with the strike; it is simply a business proposition. A plan has been on the docket for six oreight menths, whereby our association could make. ar- rangements for terms which woula enabie us to puy wages asked by the journeymen. The question was under consideration and we requested time for another meeting to further discuss it. Instead, they went out on a strike. That is all there was to this ‘triple alliance’ business. It is all over now—knocked on the head—and we shall not aiscuss the matter again. Our meet- ing with the dealers to-night is solely for our own mutual advantage. “If the journeymen had given us a chance and met us again we would have devised some way of settling the question, but they ‘want war,’ and they are going to have it.”” After the - meeting various members of the Master Painters’ board of directors were seen. They excused themselves from discussing the proceedings of the confer- ence on the ground that they had agreed to keep them secret. However, they de- clared that the stfike or any feature of the trade directly influenced by the strike was not considered. As for tiemselves, they asserted there hardly ever was a timein | bad an old-fashioned high jinks, with | able to the proposition to involve the dif- the more recent history of the trade i 8an Francisco that the master uln'url: moin 'm:!l o flmnuin:l eo:::ifion as resent, aud consequen in tl;;oumon'o be in.(.igpende,nt ;{(h':n': R r ot vt sisensy i ths o lent and secref claimed that only “bUSIRoRT: matiere pors discussed, but the strike was not con- sidered. . NEW BUSINESS AGENT. Harry M. Saunders Elected Walking Delegate for the Carpenters’ Unions. Harry M. Saunders was elected Sat- urday as the business agent for the four Carpenters and Joiners’ unions of this City. Several weeks ago E. R. Johnson, the walking delegate, resigned this office in order to accept a position in Alaska, and the District Council selected C. F. Schadt to fill the vacancy until the position could be regularly fill biv a general election. A call was made for a mass-meeting of carpenters, which was held last evening. The unions were well represented and the early voting was spirited, as there were several delegates in the field, but Mr. Saunders was elected by a large majority. His term will last until July 1. At the expiration of that time there will probably be a change in the present order of things. At éhrosenz each union in the Building Trades Council has its own business agent or walking delegale. THE PLASTERERS’ UNION. They Are Asked for Moral and Financlal Sup- port. The Plasterers’ Union, D. Sullivan presi- dent, met last evening at 927 Mission street and- received two delegates from the Painters’ Union, who asked for moral and financial support. After they retired it was decided to. postpone action until .the meeting to be held next Monday night, at which time will be issued the cards to go into effect on April L The union will elect officers at the next meeting. and the foliowing were placed in nomination: For president, D. Sullivan; vice-president, William O’Brien; record- ing secretary, John Lawless; financial sec- retary, D. Marron; sergeant-at-arms, P. Corcoran; trustees — George Wheaton, Michael Kelly, Alexander Stevenson and Timothy Hanley; delegates—W. O'Brien, G. Wheaton, H. McKenzie, Wilkes Bailey. H. McKenzie was eleted delegate for an unexpired term. ey THE IRON-MOLDERS. They Are In Favor of Helping Those Who Stood by Them. The iron-molders held their quarterly meeting last night at 1150 Mission street and transacted only routine business, and as the meeting closed two delegates from the Federation of Labor presented them- selves for the purpose of addressing the meeting, but when they learned of the ad- journment they retired, promising io re- turn at the next meeting. An offer was made to reopen the meeting, but that being declined the members then music, songs and recitations by members. Samuel McKee delivered a short addre ss, during which he spoke in favor of sustain- ing unionism. §o action was taken during the meeting in relation to the painters’ trouble. oo s iy The Carpenters. The Carpenters’ Union No. 304, at its meeting at 1159 Mission street, last night indorsed the card system and decided to hold a mass-meeting in Odd Fellows’ Hall on Wedn sday evening. What action the union will take in regard to the paingers’ strike will depend upon the action to be taken by the United Council, to be held shortly.” If the council should be favor- ferent unicns in the strike this union will go out. L Cooks and Walters. The Fraternity of Hotel and Restaurant Employes will hold its regular public meet- ing this evening at 1159 Mission street. All cooks, waiters, dishwashers and ho- tel and restaurant employes in general bave been invited to attend. This union was formed last week, and promises to be strcnger than the old union that existed several years ago. The Stonecutters. The sandstone cutters met last night at 1159 Mission street and waited until a late hour for a delegaticn from the Painters’ Union, but as none called no action was taken in MRS. MARCEAU’S DENIAL Two AMdavits Filed, One of Which Is in the Nature of an Auswer. Mrs. Marceau has commenced proceed- ings to secure possession of the child which she says was taken from her just before her husband filed his suit for di- vorce. in addition Mrs. Marceau has filed an affidavit in which she denies the charges made against her and declares her inno- cence of all wrong doing. Mrs. Marceau is no longer a resident at the Palace Hotel. She is living in a house at Ashbury Heights. She says it is be- cause her ‘busband declined- to pay her bills; but Marceau says he notified the hotel people that so long as she desired to stay she was to be accommodated. She asks the court ‘to compel her husband to provide for her pending the trial of the divorce suit. She admits having some money, but she says her estate, valued at $100,000, has become s0 encumbered that she has very little left. The case will be tried before Judge Slack. the matter of tne strike.

HUNGRY MEN ON THE OREGON. Harbor Commissioners and the Risdon Iron Works at Outs Over Its Contracts. The rush for the Alaskan gold fields still continues and at least halfa dozen vessels are now in the berth for Cook’s Inlet. One thatis now being fitted out is the bark Theobald, but as her master is now engaged in a suit for defamation of character in the SBuperior Court it may be a few days before she gets away. * Captain Swan was formerly master of the bark McNear, and like many another skipper he got into trouble with Managing Owner Thompson. The morning the vessel was to have sailed Swan was superseded, and he at once sought revenge. He gave Thompson a thrashing and the latter got even by telling tales about the captain. The slander_ suit resulted and Swan will have to remain in port until the matter is decided. The present master of the Mc- Near also has a row on his hands with the managing owner. A few months ago he telegraphed from Puget Sound, repudi- ating Thompson, and said be would not recognize any charter which' he might choose 10 accept. The bark Theobald is one of the best- known traders in and out- of San Fran- cisco, and Captain Swan, her master, is a very skillful navigator. He has worked his way up from the position of cabin-boy, and never had a word said against his good name until he was relieved of the command of the McNear. Underwnters, stevedores, merchants, towboat men and reporters have all borne testimony to his character, and the chances are that he will win his suit. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS, “OH MY!” WHAT A HIT!

Humphrey, one of the oldest and most experienced masters in the employ of the whaling company, will have command of the Portland, so passengers may be sure of getting to the nearest available point to the gold fields. The men on the bark Oregon, which had to put in here in distress last Sunday morning, say they were half starved dur- ing the voyage from Junin to San Fran- cisco. Captain Parker says there is not a word of truth in their statement, and that there is still plenty of food aboard and enough tobacco to’ last another voyage. The entire crew, including the first mate, left the vessel as soon as. she came to an anchor. They say that in order to reach port they had to guarantee an extra $25 to the towboat 'before a hawser was put aboard. The agent of the Oregon calls the crew of the bark a chronic set of kickers, and says they do not know when they are well off. Mate Fisher, who was formerly master of the bark Ophir, is tahe most outspoken of the crew. ‘I wasn't going to stay out there and starve,” said he yesterday. “When the master refused a tow I spoke up and the men joined in. We called the tug back and finally reached Sen Fran- cisco. Itisthe last trip I will ever make in the Oregon.” Monday, March 30—Mr. James O'Neill. TIVOLI OPERA-HOUSE Mzs.
