Union Workmen to Renew Their Fight With the. Brewers. COULD NOT BE SETTLED. Overtures of Peace to the Asso- ciation Were Entirely Ignored. IT IS A FIGHT TO THE END. A Call to Be Made Upon the Building Trades to Assist the Brewery Workmen. At a meeting of the Brewery Workmen’s Union of San Francisco last evening at 1159 Mission street steps were taken that will set in motion another bitter fight between the union workmen and the pro- prietors of the breweries. This fight may | not extend to all the breweries, for there | are a number in and outside the Brewers’ Protective Association who are not unfay- orable to the union. The present hostile attitude of the union workmen is due to the fact that recently overtures have been made to the bosses in the association that the members did not receive in the spirit in which the mani- festations of friendship were extended. At the meeting of the brewery workmen | the attitude of the bosses was heartily con- | demned and it was decided if an amicable settlement of existing difficulties could not be made it should and would be war to the bitter end. In order that the situation may be un- derstood a little history of the troubles be- tween the employes and employers is not amiss. Four years ago, when Alfred Fubrman was secretary of the union, a | demand was made upon the bosses for a recognition of the union and other ad- vantages tending to elevate the working- men. Then the union was 600 strong and had a well-filled treasury. The demands were denied and a strike on the Jackson frew- ery was oraered. The association of bosses decided to stand together, and in order to force the men in line in accordance with their notions, the members of the associa- | tion issued the following: | Notice—The following resolution was edopt- | ed upon the unanimous vote of all the mem- bers at the meeting of the Brewers’ Protective | Association, held on Tuesday, March 1, 1892, | 10 wit: | Resolved, That in the event of the boycott on the | | Jackson brewery not being removed by Monday, | March 7, 1892, then all persons In the employ of | the members 0f this association. afliliating with organizations boycotting the sald Juckson brew- ery, be discharged. A. FREDERICK, President. R. Mohr, Secretary True to the edict, the brewers began to discharge and blacklist all of their em- ployes who belonged to the union and to had to be instructed in the business. The next brewery to fall under the ban of the union was the National, ana updn these two institutions the boycott was main- tained until December 6 fast, when it was raised by the union in the hope of bring- ing about a reconciliation between the union and the brewers of the association. | The attempt was a failure. Duringthese | four long years the union and the bosses | haxe been “‘at outs,” and during that time | the union men suffered severely for stand- ing up to their principles. The co-opera- tive brewery started by the union after | nearly exhausting its treasury was a fail- ure. One of the principal reasons why the strike and boycott on the association’s | breweries failed was because at that time | trades-unionism started on its downhill | course, in consequence of the hard times, | and no concerted action could be brought to bear upon the offenders. | Fubrmann was succeeded by W. Zahn | as secretary, and he failed to bring abouta settlement. Zahn, on January 27 last, gave way to Joseph Walters, the prasent secretary. Since his election Walters has worked nicht and day to bring about an amicable | settlement, and bhe believed that he would | | succeed in having the union recognized, as several of the brewers promised to union- ize their breweries. Believing the time to | be ripe for an adjustment of present dif- ferences and a wiping out of old scores, he f wrote the following letter: APRIL 20, 1896. Brewers' Protective Association—GENTLEMEN: There is at present existing & spiritof hostility among the trades unions toward your associa- tion, due largely, no doubt, to the estrange- ment that has so long divided our unions aud your body. In order, if possible, to Lring about a betier and more profitable understand- ing we would ask your body 10 appointa com- mittee to confer with a similar committee ap- pointed by us. Trusting that this will meet with your favorable consideration, we remain, yours truly, BREWERY WOREMEN'S UNION OF SAN FRANCISCO. Per JOSEPH WALTERS, Sec’y. Previous to sending the letter he exe plained the wishes of the union to several brewers, saying: *We do not ask the bosses to raise the wagas of the men nor to shorten the hours. All we want is to nave them recognize the union, so that union men will not be obliged to work with scabs.” On Fridu{ the association met, and yesterday Walters called upon Secree tary Mohr to se> what action had been taken upon the letter. He was told that the communication had simply been placed upon the file without comment and that it was not intended even to answer it. ‘This was what caused the brewery worke men to hold an indignation meeting. That some preparation had been made | for a fight is shown by their reception of the news of the manner in which their overtures for peace had been treated. It was decided that the fight that had been at a standstill so long should be renewed with vigor. In the first piace the treasury is u; a better condition than for some time ast. . Notwithstanding the employers’ black- list of union men many of the latter have been able to get back to work in the local breweries, and now two-thirds of the em- ployes of the same are union men. In severai only union men can find employ- ment. The union decided last evening to appeal to 2ll trades unions to assist them in their present struggle for recognition. Already several members of the Building Traeds Conncil have [promised their sup- port in getting the unions affiliated with the council to take up the fight. ‘When the council meets on next Thurs- day evening it will be in receipt of a letter from Secretary Walters asking for the support of the building trades unions. It already has the support cf the San Francisco Labor Council, with thesbuild- ing trades, which numbers several thou- sand members, and the brewery workmen hope to make macters interesting for the bosses. Their confidence is increased by the assurance of several of the bosses to the effect that a strong general trades union support might induce them to make their $500 forfeit to the association and stand with the union. That there has_been discontent in the Brewers’ Association is very apparent irom the fact that several of the members | went over from San Francisco. by methods not recognized as legitimate. Secretary Walters says that with trade unionism on the boom and internal differ- ences in the bosses’ combine he expects that the union and its friends will make things very interesting for the bosses with- in the next four weeks. ROSES TO EXHALE IDEAS. Fragrant Blooms to Be Exhibited at the Palace Hotel This Week. The thirteenth semi-annual flower show of the State Floral Society will take place at the Palace Hotel April 30, May 1 and 2. This society was formed in 1888. [ts object is to unite all persons acceptable to one another, without regard to sex or oc- cupation, in the one common interest of floriculture. The society hopes by its work to stimulate the public taste. to make home more attractive and beautiful aud to magnify the glory of the State. According to the promoters the merit of the exhibit will be in quality, not in quantity. Surely the professional who has spent as much time and more thought in bringing out some new flower deserves as much credit as he who bestows no more time onan acre of old flower friends? The choicest buds and blooms only will be shown for competition, either by ama- teurs or professionals. At the request of many there will be a historic table, on which flowers will be placed from the gar- dens of long ago, each with its own special romance. This is not a charitable society, but as its resources increase the members wish to give all flower lovers an opportunity to enjoy this collection. Free tickets have been sent to the Catholic, Hebrew and Protestant orphan asylums and to the Ladies’ Protection and Relief Society. The old people from the Crocker, Lick | and Episcopal homes have received simi- lar invitations. These societies will visit the show Friday and Saturday forenoons. The committee of arranzements consists of Professor E. E. Smith (manager), Mrs. W. 8. Grothwell, Mrs. W. S. Chandler, Mrs. B. E. Hendrickson, Mrs. L. 0. Hodg- kins, Mrs. Orville. D. Baldwin, secretary. FACHTSHEN MAKE MERRY Corinthians Celebrate the Open- ing of Their Club Season. Crowds Gather in the Afternoon and at Night at Tiburen in Honor of the Event. The Corinthian Yacht Club opened the season yesterday in time honored fashion, aud with success. Lying at anchor in the moorings off the pretty clubhouse were thirty vachts of the Corinthians, all white and spick and span, gayly decorated with their signal flags. The clubhouse was aglow with bunting and 1ts verandas were covered with canvas that afforded a place beneath for the visitors and members to enjoy lunch. The interior was also prettily ornamented with flowers and evergreens. In the afternoon an entertainment was given to the ladies, about 100 of whom were present in spite of the disagreeable weather. They danced and spent the hours in social 1ntercourse, were charmed with the music, and joined tae members at a toothsome repast. The customary ‘“‘stag” jinks took place atnight. When the hour of 8 arrived Cor- inthians swarmed in picturesque sea togs from the yachts to swell the crowd that A light supper was served, after which the fnn commenced without formality The hall was packed with jolly yachts- men and their friends, all of whom entered into the spirit of the occasion and made merry. The jinks were sired by J. V. | O’Brien, who was assisted by the jinks committee, W. H. Crowell, W. F. Dixey, W. A. Stringerand D. H. McLaughlin. The following characteristic programme was gresented in a really artistic and en- joyable manner: Stereopticon views, mot on the Chi- nese question, but of all the Corinthian freaks, by Dr. Eisen: | Michalitschke Hines in “A Night Of’; Charles Stallman, recitation select; La Bandurists, in their latest selections entitled ““The Corinthian Clan ! i Dolphin quartet—John Braid, W.

The reception was in charge of Commo- dore J. W. Pew, J. H. Keefe, C. L. Barrett, Vice-Commodore Carl Westerfeld, A. J. Young, J. V. O’Brien and C. R. McKee. E. S, Simmons _was floor manager and F. M. Thornton, Ralph 8. Buck, 0. Elling- house, E. G. Carrera and E. B. Lathrop acted as the floor committee. If the weather was not propitious for the evening’s celebration the Corinthians appeared to be little disturbed by it, for they were opening a season with three new boats in their handsome fleet and with bright prospects. PASSENGER AGENTS. Those of the Transcontinental Assooia- tion Are Announced to Meet in This City on May 13. Clinton Jones, the local passenger agent of the Rock Island road, was in receipt of a dispatch yesterday stating that the Transcontinental Passenger Association had decided to hold a meeting in this City on May 13. This announcement was a great surprise to all the local agents of the lines represented in the association. General Passenger Agent T. H. Good- man stated that the news was rather un- expected to him and that he had received no direct information regarding it, but yet considered that it was correct and reliable, Should this meeting take place as an- nounced it will be the first one held in this City by the present association. Among the principal matters to be con- sidered by it will be the existing differ- ences between the Canadian Pacific, the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific roads, and trans-Atlantic business from the Pacific Coast and trans-Pacific busi- ness from the Bast. The latter is inter- national transportation and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the Interstate Com- merce Commission, but has never before been taken up by the Transcontinental Passenger Association, which comprises all the big lines west of the Missouri River. Another question to be settled will be the matter of issuing tickets in blank by one road to the agents of other roads. This ruling was made by Chairman Cald- well of the association some time ago and created general dissatisfaction among the agents here, and has been religiously and persistently ignored. An effort will be made to have it rescinded. Commissions to agents of intermediate lines will also be considered. ——————— Beat Their Father. James Griffin, a street-sweeper living at Fil- bert street and Montgomery avenue, swore out warrants in Judge Low’s court yesterday for the arrest of hisson James and his daughter Margaret on the charge of battery. He said that when he went {wme Friday night they asked him to give them his week’s wages, and have been heavily fined for breaking the rules by cutting in on each other’s trade when he refused they beat him and turned bim out of the house. LEADS AGAINST LIQUOR, Mrs. Sturtevant-Peet, State Presi- dent of the Woman’s Tem- perance Union, HER BIRTHDAY TO-MORROW. “Suffrage Day” Will Be Devoted by the Organization to Her J Honor. Prominent among the leaders in phil- anthropic work in Calilornia stands one who has long been recognized as a power | in the work of the Woman’s Christian | Temperance Union, Mrs. Sturtevant-Peet of San Jose, State president of this organ- ization. Mrs. Peet (nee Rockwell) was born in Cornwall, Vt. Her ancestry wasof that | brave, sterling and eminently progressive quality that made New England’s sons and daughters famous in history. She was educated at one of the best seminaries n Burlington, Vt. After graduation she hoping thus, according to McLaughlin’s statement, to secure partof the business which the extensive advertising of the Sanden Company brought to the building. He then made an offer to Mr. Mc- Laughlin to vacate the premises if the lat- ter would pay him $300, which offer was deciined. In the meantime P. B. Travis was in- duced to assign his lease of the room which was occupied by Chadburne to E. E. Wilbur, which assignment was made on the 24th inst. Yesterday Wilbur went into tLe office of Chadburne and demanded possession of the premises. The occupant refused to consider the demand, when Wilbur with a few follow- ers took possession forcibly, ejecting the young real estate man and pitching his office furniture and effects into the hall. In the skirmish the door of the office was torn from its fastenings and a large pane of glass was smashed. Four police officers watched the scrim- mage, but as no personal violence was at- tempted no arrests were made, but the grievances of all parties concerned will be aired in the courts, as warrants will be is- | sued on Monday for the arrest of two at least of the participants in the contro- versy. - Fell Down the Shaft. Walter Latham, an employe of A. Fleish- hacker & Co., 520 Market street, stepped back- ward into the freight elevator shaft yesterday afternoon and fell from the first floor to the basement, a distance of about twelve feet. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Stice found that his left arm was fractured, his jaw contused and he was suffering from the shock. He lives at 24 Haight street. { the foundation of the work in the Green MRS. STURTEVANT PEET, STATE PRESIDENT, W. C. T. U. returned to her home in Middlebury, Vt., where her natural grace and intelligence made her a leader in society. The polish, | tact and self-poise that distinguished her then, together with the experience gained, have served her well in all her later more arduous duties. She married E. A. Stur- tevant, a brilliant young lawyer, who died in early manhood. Mrs. Sturtevant was among the first to enter the ranks of the organization which | was the outgrowth of the crusade. At the.( second annual meeting of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of Vermont she was elected State secretary and later zer; these two ofiices she filled for four years, laying well Mountain State. At this time E. W. Peet of California re- turned to Vermont, bis native State, where he met Mrs. Sturtevant and re- | newed a former attachment. A first and early romance made natural | and e a second and changed her home from New Enzland 1o the Goiden State. The women of California were not slow in recognizing her ability and she was soon made president of Alanieda Count Under her leadership the membership i creased uatil it was the second larzest county union in the United States. The experience and success of over ten years admirably qualified her for the office of | president of the State union, a position which she has now beld for six years. Every department of the work has moved onward with vigerous strides since her ad- | vent. She has become well known in our legis- lative halls, where she has made her in- fluence felt in the last three sessions. Strangers became friends and men not in- terested in the matter of woman’s suffrage lent an ear to Mrs. Peet, who chose with that perfect tact of which she is mistress the most auspicious time for presenting her cause. Sgne was also =0 excellent a parliamentarian that every move was made with intelligence end certainty. Finding her so thoroughly a woman whom any one might be proud to know—modest, womanly, intelligent —they said: *If this kind of women want suffrage they ought to have it and forthwith passed the bill. S Her work in the Legislature has not been alone for suffrage, but for other bills as well, notably the one known as the ‘“‘Age of Consent,” which was passed by both houses, and which Governor Budd refused to sign; the cigarette bill, which met the same fate; and it was largely throngh her efforts that the uniform license bill was defeated. Her constituency are devoted to their leader and delight to honor her by follow- ing where she leads. It is in recognition of her valuable services_in the Legislature that her birthday, the 27th of April, has been set aside by the State as ‘“‘Suffrage day” and will be celebrated throughout the State. 3 In honor of the occasion San Francisco County will hold a Enrlor meeting in the parlors of the Berkshire Hotel from 8 to 10 . M., to which all are cordially invited. The following programme will be given and a delightful evening is anticipated. Following is the programme: Piano solo, Miss Edna Luse; song, Miss Cook ; address, Henrietta E. Brown; recitation, Fred Head; song, Mrs. Swan; address, Rev. J. Cumming Smith; piano_solo, Mr: Bickel; poem (orifiinal), Mrs. L. R. farish; recitation, Mrs. Edgerton; vocal solo, Miss Allen; symposinm, two-minute speeches, “Why I am a Suffragist.” BY FORCIBLE POSSESSION, A Tenant Ejected Without the Authority or Formality of Law. | George D. Shadburne Jr.,a young real estate man who has occupied an office at %32 Market street for the past two months, suddenly found himself dispossessed yes- terday afterncon about 3:30 o'clock, and himself and his goods and chattels on the sidewalk. P. B. Travis leased the room which Chadburne occupied, and had sublet it to the latter. On the same floor is the office of M. A. McLaughlin, manager for the Sanden Electric Belt Company. Chad- burne conceived the idea of starting an opposition belt agency on the same floor, ENTOMBED BY A CAVE-IN. Over Four Score Men Buried Alive in a Mexican Mine and but Half the Number Are Rescued. CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, April 25.—The most terrible mining disaster that has ever occurred in Northern Mexico happered | Thursday afternoon at the Vieja mine, about twelve miles from this city, in the Santa Eulalie district. It is sometimes called the Santa Eulalia mine. P.R. Prieto, the owner, urged the miners, who are Mexicans, to continue re- moving the pillars in spite of protests, it is said, and the terrible accident resulted. Over eighty-five men were at work when the cave-in occurred. Of these eighteen escaped, sixty-seven were buried and of these thirty-seven have been taken out, seven of whom are dead and thirty seri- ously crushed and many will not live. There is very little chance ol recovering alive the thirty men yet under the earth. The Governor left here to-day for the scene. e Oscar Must Serve Out His Sentence. LONDON, ExG., April 25.— Friends of Oscar Wilde recently persuaded Sir Mat- thew White Ridley, the Home Secretary, to send Home Oftice doctors to report on Wilde’'s condition.

BROUGHT FROM THE EAST It Will Be Set Up Over the Grave at Cypress Lawn Cemetery. SCHWEINFURTH, ARCHITECT. Mrs. Hearst and Her Son Kcep Silent About the Beautiful Memorial. A mausoleum of a beauty and costliness hitherto unknown in California is about to be erected by Mrs- Pheebe Hearst over the rémains of the late Senator Hearst, which repose in Cypress Lawn Cemetery. The idea of marking her late husband’s resting-place with a beauciful and lasting monument has been in Mrs. Hearst’s mind for some time, though she has said very little about her plans, even to her most intimate friends. It is known, however, that she resolved to spare neither money nor personal pains to make the mausoleum equal, if not su- perior, to some of the historic monuments of the Old World. Since taking up their residence in the East Mrs. Hearst and her son have been quietly having plans submitted to them for the memorial to the late Senator, till at last they found one that exactly suited their ideas of beauty and dignity. The successful plan was made by the well-known Eastern architect, Schwein- furth, brother of A. C. Schweinfurth of this® City, who is at present engaged in building a country house for Mrs. Hearst. The Eastern architect, who designed the mausoleum is the best known of three brothers, all of whom are clever and origi- nal architects. When tHe plans had been accepted the greatest secrecy was enjoined on every one concerned. Mr. Schweinfurth, who was charged with the erection as well as with the designing of the monument, had all his materials prepared in the East and in Europe, so that the marble, the bronze, the sculpture and even the baser materials used in the design will all be brought here, as nearly completed and ready for setting up as possible. So great has been the secrecy observed that it is stated that the architect’s brother in this City has not been intrusted with any information respecting the mausoleum, although he is engaged by Hearst to build a country house. When all the materials had been completed and packed ready for transportation the archi- tect came to this City with his plans, prepared to superyise the arrival and erec- tion of the monument. He arrived seve- ral days ago, and so secret has his coming been kept that few of his friends are yet aware of his presence here. One of the reasons for Mr. Hearst’s re- cent visit to San Francisco, it is stated, was to make the final arrangements for the erection of the mausoleum to his father’s memory, though he kept silence on the subject, even to his most intimate friends. No one has yet seen the plans outside the Hearst family and the few people who have been actively engaged in putting them into execution. It is stated that the estimated cost of the mausoleum is §500,000.

HOLLISTER, CAL., April 25.—The body of Edith O’Hara, the beautiful daughter of Richard O’Hara of San Jose and a well- known society young woman of that city, lies to-day somewhere under the sand and bowlders that fill the bed of San Benito Creek, and for some twelve hours past searching parties have been vainly looking for it. Miss O'Hara was on the way to visit her uncle, Eugene Shephard, who lives on a ranch near Tres Pinos. At Tres Pinos she was met by a friend, ‘Walter Page, and they started in a buggy to the Shephard home. On the way they had to ford the San Benito. The crossing is a bad one, and the creck has been high for several days past. It was not, never- theless, considered dangerous, and Page had crossed there in the morning on the way to meet the train. It rained steadily in the mountains, and the creck got higher and higher. Still, upon reaching the crossing at the road house, young Page did not hesitate to go through. Whipping up his horse, the buggy entered the water and was half way across before there was a sign of danger. Then suddenly a wall of water was seen coming down the creek, and though the horse made a desperate effort he could not get out of the way. While he was holding to the wire the horse, which had been carried off its feet, and the overturned buggy were swept down upon the man and woman, strug- gling in the water. Miss O’Hara was torn from Page’s grasp and swept down to her death in the muddy water. Page was torn loose from the fence, also, but succeeded in grasping the wire again, and eventu- ally in drawing himself out of the water. The horse and buggy were both swept out of his view down the creek. The half-drowned man made his way home on foot, and searching parties were at once started out to find the body of Miss O'Hara, but so far have met with no success in the quest. The bed of the San Benito Creek is fiilled with sand and bowlders, and farther down, if the body should have reached there, are quick- sands which engulf and hide all that come to them. SAN JOSE, CaL., April 25.—Miss Edith O’Hara, the young lady who was acci- dentally drowned in the San Benito River, was a daughter of Robert O’Hara, a horse- shoer of this city. She was 22 years of age and had a large circle of acquaint- ances. At the time of her death she was on her way to visit the family of her upcle, Eugene Shephard, who lives on a ranch near Tres Pinos. The father and stepmother of the dead gir! leit for the scene of the accident to-day and every effort will be made to recover the body.
