THE BREWERY TROUBLE, Boss Beermakers Will Be Show Their Colors. Within the next few days the brewery workmen's unions’ fight will reach a point where decisive action must be taken by all parties interested. The workmen demand a recognition of their union, and the trouble over this point has dragged along over four years. Since Joseph Walters has been in the position of secre- tary he has worked hard to bring about an amicable settlement with the boss brewers, but so far without any perceptible resuits. The matter has now gone into the hands of the San Francisco Trades Council, and yesterday the executive committee of that body met with the executive committee of the union. A special committee of three, consisting of Thurman, McArthur and Walters, was appointed to visit every boss brewer and learn from him his attitude toward the union. Those who express themselves favorable to the union will be called upon to declare themselves, and a declaration of sentiment will be required of those against. If the difficulty can be - settled all well and good, but if not the committee will start the figbt by declaring a boycott upon one of the breweries where a workingman’s boycott will do the most harm.

WOMEN MAY SIT IN CONVENTION The Episcopalian Committee on Credentials Accepts Them. SECRETARY HOOK TALKS He Says When the Ladies An- swer the Rollcall They Will Be Seated. : A CATHEDRAL IS TALKED OF. Bishop Nichols and the Sianding Com- mittee Empowered to Advance the Scheme. The usual number of clergy and of male lay delegates answered the rollcall at the second day’s session of the Episcopal con- vention in Grace Church yesterday, bnt cluded the morning session, contained a number of suggestions of great interest to the diocese. The need of a cathedral was especially dwelt on. Bishop Nichols urged some immediate steps being taker toward securing one. ‘A cathedral organization should interpret the best interplay of cleri- cal and lay functions in our American church life, and find right adjustment to noble work for Christ’s Foor and Christ’s rich. A cathedral building should be typical of the best architectural genius and of the consecration of qutpoured riches for its cost. “There may be approaches to the cathedral idea, especially from the side of its missionary agencies, and I wounld recommend that the Bishop and standing committee be designated as a permanent committee, 10 consider the matter of a catbedral and report from time to time anything bearing upon it, with power to take any steps toward it that in their judgment mav seem wise.” In the after- noon this hint was acted upon, for, upon motion of Rev. Dr. Foute, the matter of taking steps toward securing a cathedral at some future date was referred to the Bishop and the standing committee for future action. Other matters touched upon in the Bishop’s address were the need of a clergy retreat and of an archdeacon for mission- ary work. A tribute was paid to the gen- erosity of the late George W. Gibbs, and the suggestion was made that the question of arranging a division of the funded en- dowments between this diocese and that of Los Angeles be left for adjustment to the special committee which had already been acting. The afternoon session opened with the consideration of the reports presented by the committee to arrenge for an equable division of the trust funds of the two dio- ceses of Los Angeles and California. Before the reports were discussed Henry E. Highton made a motion that the division of the funds, between the two dioceses, be referred to the finance com- mittee, consistiug of W. B. Hooper, D. M. Kent, 8.V.Smith and L. M. Ringwald, REV. M. D. WILSON, THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE. Ihe lady delegates again refrained from answering to their names. The commit- tee on credentials has passed on all these lady delegates and has accepted them, the decision being that when any lady dele- gate answers the rollcall she shall be seated on the floor with the other dele- gates. Speaking on this subject yesterday, George Hook, assistant secretary of the diocese, and a member of the committee on credentials, said: “The statement in THE CArL of to-day is perfectly correct. According tothe amend- ment of the canon, made last year, ladies are entitled to vote. The committee on credentials which passed upon the dele- gates accepted all the ladies, and resolved that 1f they answered the rollcall they should be seated upon the floor. “‘Any opposition which might be caused by this act would call for a vote of the convention as a whole. The ladies are not officially here unless they answer the rolleall, and so far but one of them has brought the question to an issue by doing so. “I do not think there would be any de- cided opposition if the ladies were seated among the other delegates. ‘There micht be a few protests here and there, but I be- lieve the convention as a whole would be in favor of acceptin: them, as the committee on credentials has already done. No one questions the fact of woman being now entitled to vote for vestrymen, etc., and sooner or later the convention will have to face the question of whether the right to vote entitles to a seat in the convention. The situation may not have to be faced at this convention, but it will unaoubtedly come up before very long.” It is Mr. Hook’s opinion that the ques- tion will not have to be faced by this con- vention. Questioning among the delegates revealed the fact, however, that it may come up to-day, for W. C. Ambroise, a dele- ate from Bt. John’s Mission Church, Ta- fnre. who is a delegate from the same mis- sion, will be present to-day and intends to answer the rollcell. A good deal of business of interest.to the diocese was transacted yesterday. The morning session, after motions, opened with the report of the special committee on a plan of assessment for diocesan ex- penses. For the last three years the vari- ous churches have been assessed a certain percentage on their incomes, derived from pew rents, offertories and pledges. The substance of the minority report was to give this plan a longer trial. The ma- jority report of the committee of seven, appointed by the last convention, was pre- E‘nd by Rev. F. J. Mgnnd. Rev. J. A. mery, Rev. F. H.Church, H. C. Davis, William Van Bokkelen and Rev. W. H. Moreiand, and this report proposed to assess each parish or mission upon the basis of its current expenses. William Van Bokkelen. who presented the report favoring the latter plan of as- sesement, said the sliding-scale was less hard on poor parishes, and that it made the rich parisbes bear their share of the burden better. He added that for the last three years the finance committee had been ignoring the canons and lightening the burden on me!goor parishes. Rev. Robert R. Richie spoke against the Emmnd new system, saying that it would amper parish benevolence. Rev. John Emery said theold system was an unjust one, as a8 number of parishes raised their incomes by other means than offertories, w-rents and pledges. On a motion be- ng put to the house both repogts were re- jected, but William Van Bokkelin moved a reconsideration of his report and this be- ing carried, Rev. Dr. Spalding amended it by inserting the statement that in assess- ing each parish or mission according to current expenses, these expenses were not to inciude money paid on mortgages or on permanent improvements. The amend- ment was accepted and the report was adopted almost unanimously. The Bishop’s annual address, which con- snp{)lemented by Rev. John Bakewell and A. W.Drown. This being put to the vote the committee was empowered unani- mously to settle the matter with repre- sentatives from the diocese of Los Angeles. The rest of the afternoon was occupied with special reports and missionary ad- dresses. Rev. E. B. Spalding, in his report of the committee on Christian education, strongly decried the popular idea that the church’s work is limited to parishes and missio He said that even the building of h pitals and sending out of missionaries e not sufficient, for the church’s work is educational. ‘“‘And yet,” he asked, “what is our church doing to-day to fulfill the need that 1s actually pressing upon her for the training of the young? Indi- vidual efforts there have been for the cause of education, but the church as a bodv would seem to be slumbering on. “‘Your committee believes that in a church as practical as our own the need of organization is pressing; that we have reached a time when individual effort should be fuided and controlled and schoois should be established and organ- ized as best to meet the demand upon as.” The report concluded with the state- ment that not one of the church schools in the diocese conld at present be made the nucleus of a future provincial system, as not one is incorporated. ‘“Your com- mittee believes that our present schools should be incorporated at once.’’ Rev. A. L. Brewer reported for the Church Divinity S8chool of the Pacific that the work 1s steadily growing. He also re- g{orled tbat St. Margaret’s School at San ateo is doing good work as well as St. Mathew’s School for boys and the Irving Institute. A prosperous year was also re- ported for Trinity School. The annual report of the board of mis- sions was read Rev. John A. Emery. Certain finan changes were recom- mended as a necessary result of the di- vision of California into two dioceses. The need for & missionary archdeacon was also dwelt upon. Rev. William Lucas, dean of the San Joaquin convocation, and Rev. F. J. Mynard, dean of the San Francisco convo- cation, read their rts, and the report of the convocation of San Jose was read by the dean, Rev. C. O. Tollatson. Rev. de Wolf Cowie of San Mateo being called upon by the Bishop to give a mis- sionary address, responded by outlining the history of Episcopal missions in this country. As an instance of the resulfs achieved by missions he alluded to a con- vention which is shortly to be held in Lon- don to celebrate the thirteen hundredth anniversary of the landing of Augustine and his monks in Kent to convert the Saxons to Christianity. As an outcome of the seed planted by three monks 1300 years ago there will as- semble 1n London next vear biuhoFs from the United States. Canada, Australia, New Zegland and Africa. Rev. C. M. Hoge of Monterey in the course of an address on missions said: “The spirit of union is spreading from de- nomination to denomiration.” Rev. J. 8. cGowan of Fresuo Flats also made a missionary address. The report of the committee on church charities, made by Rev. Edgar J. Lion, showed St. Luke’s Hospital to be in a sat- isfactory condition, but the Old Ladies’ Home was stated to be in some stringency for want of ready money. The other char- ities were all reportea to be flourishing. After the reading of this report the con- vention adjourned to meetat 10 A. u. to- day. '{he Bishop of Califorma and Mrs. Nich- ols will hold a reception at the Occidental Hotel this evening from 8 to 11. At this reception it is expected that the Bishop of Los Angeles will be present.

BOOM WOMAN SUFFRAGE Demand Free Pilotage for Ships Entering and Leaving the Harbor. WARM PRAISE FOR “THE CALL” Attorney Leggett Heartily Commends its Stand on the Woman Suf- frage Question. The sirgle-taxers have brought their ar- tillery to the front and firing is going on all along the lipe. There have been meet- ings of boards, committees and other busi- ness bodies, and much work, importang as regards the propagation of the doctrine, has been carried out. Besides there has been renewed activity in the circulation of the petition sent out by the National Single-Tax committee, and the leaders of the movement in Cal- ifornia have most favorable reports to make. At the last meeting of the executive committee of the San Francisco Single- Tax Society the pledge for voters to sign was slightly modified. *Single-taxers were well enough satis- fied with the pledge as it read,” said At- torney Joseph Leggett, National 'Com- mitteeman from California, “‘as they ex- actly understand the meaning of the phrase, ‘which will open the way to single- tax legislation.’ “But its meaning is notso clear to many others who are as much in favor of amend- ing article XIII as the single-taxers themselves. The obstacle in the way of securing such exemptions as are desired by the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation is precisely the same as that which hinders the single-taxers,” The modified pledge readsas follows* “I bereby promise that I will vote only for such candicates for the Senate and As- sembly as are pledged iu writing to sub- mit a constitutional amendment giving to the Legislature full power over the subject of taxation.” Mr. Leggett then spoke as follows in ex- vlanation and elucidation of the subject: “If full power over the subject of taxa- tion is given to the Legislature the manu- facturers and ship-owners can by the passage of an act of the Legislature secure at ounce such exemptions as they desire without waiting two years for an oppor- tunity to submit the proposition to a vote of the people. “In all their efforts to secure such ex- emptions they can confidently rely upon the aid of the single-taxers. The modified form of the pledge is equally satisfactory to the single-taxers, because it will open the way for such advanced legislation as | they may be able to induce the Legisla- ture to enact. “‘The single-taxer’s method is to lop off a tax on industry or a fine on enterprise and thrift wherever he has a chance, and he is ever ready to co-operate heartily with any one who is willing to take a step | —however short—in that direction. “The pledge was modified with a view to secure the co-operation and assistance | of the manufacturers and ship-owners in | circulating it and in getting it signea, - If the pleage is properly handled in this City, there will not be a single member of its delegation in the next Legislature who will dare to vote against the proposea amendment to article XIII. “The single-taxers may be relied on to do their share of this work, and it is to be | hoped that the manufacturers and ship- owners will not fail to do theirs. The patent absurdity of seeking to protect manufactures and commerce by Federal legisiation, and at the same time doing our best to cripple and destroy them by State taxation, ought not to be longer per- mitted. “The first thing to be done to secure a just and rational systemn of taxation is to give jurisdiction of the subject to the Legislature. With that point attained, the battle will be more than half won. “To accomplish that there ought to be an effort on the part of all who are seek- ing to build up the State and its enter- prises.”” Attorney James L. Reynolds spoke in the same strain. When asked what the single-taxers would strive for to benefit San Francisco in case article XIII should be amended, he answered : “What would we strive for? ‘Why, for the abolition of all taxes on personal prop- erty, of course. That is, primarily. But there are many special things in the exist- ing state of affairs that tend to hola San Francisco behind in the race for pros- perity, and we would attack these first. “For instance, ships are obliged to take a pilot on board and pay a high price for his services when they enter this port whether they wish to or not. They have to do the same thing on leaving. Then there is wharfage to pay and a host of other things that tend to discourge com- merce. “Do you know, 1t is my firm belief that if the tax were taken off men’s business the condition of affairs would soon be so prosperous that the revenue arising from the enhanced value of ground property would not onty suffice for the expenses of running the munieipality, but would give a large enough surplus to pay for pilots to conduct ships in and out of the harbor. All other expenses would be done away with as well. “Then ships laden with the spices of the Orient, craft filled with the productsof the tropics, and, in fact. vessels bearing the producty peculiar to all countries, ‘would flock here as they never did before. It wonld mean a revival of commerce, a rush in business, and steady, enduring pros- perity. This is the object single-taxers have in wview in their struggle for the amendment to article XI1L” “What 1s the attitude of single-taxers in regard to the enfranchisement of women? Does it very with the man, or are single-taxers a unit on the question ?” “As to that,”” said Attorney Leggett with a broad smile, “I think I can answer for all of us. Now,” waxing earnest, | Malan, “single-taxers cannot consistently with their principles be opposed to woman suffrage. ‘‘Any one who comprehends and accepts the fundamental doctrines of the single- tax philosophy must recognize the right of women to vote. And as a matter of fact I believe all single-taxers are woman suffragists, or in apter phrase, equal suffragists. “When a single-taxer is asked if he be- lieves in giving women the right to vote, he says it is not a question of right. He recognizes the truth that every woman who has attained her majority has as much right to vote as he has. Let us stop depriving her of the right. “Hair-splitung distinctions between natural and artificial rights are wholly un- profitable and begging the question. She is bound to obey the laws equally with man; she is equally interested with him in the welfare of society, which is insured by good laws; and she iscompelled to bear equally with him the calamities and mise- ries that follow in the train of bad laws. “The single-taxers of California takea deep and .earnest interest in the progress of the movement in favor of the equal suffrage amendment, and will, I believe, to a man vote for it election day. “All the single-taxers of my acquaint- ance are greatly delighted with the noble stand taken by THE CALL on this ques- tion.” “EXPLORING THE AIR. A Lecture Last Night by Forecaster McAdie Before the Geograph- > ieal Society. Weather Forecaster McAgie lectured last evening at Union Square Hall before the Geographical Society of the Pacific upon “Exploring the Atmosphere.” He illustrated his lecture with excellent stereopticon views of the different phases of the air. Regarding kite observation he stated that with a number of the Malay kites flown in tandem an aluminum ther- mogravh weighing two pounds had been kept at an elevation of 2000 feet for two hours and it registered a much higher air temperature than that at the g:ound. On the subject of clouds he spoke in turn of the fracto-nimbus thunder cloud: The water in these airy billows may be cooled below the freezing point and not frozen. A snowflake or ice-crystal falling into it may suffice to start a sudden congelation Jjust as we see ice needles dart in all directions when'the chilled surface of a still pond is dis- turbed. We liken this monstrous cloud to a huge gun loaded and quiet, but with a trigeer s0 delicately set that a falling snowflake would discharge it. From an electrical standpoint, the thunderstorm and the snowstorm are almost identical.

Booth-Tucker, commander of the Ameri- can forces of the Salvation Army, successor te Ballington Booth, walked upon the stage at Metropolitan Temple last night shortly after 10 o’clock and kissed his wife, whose illness had called him across the continent. Ii was not as warm a kiss either as the audience expected and the commander immediately turned and apologized, laughingly of course, saying that he had been separated from her for three weeks, which wasawful; thathe was glad of the circumstances that had given him an excuse for getting away from New York and making the run out here to join | her. He then turned and said, “How are you, my darling?” and she smiled and nodded, indicating that she was as well as she looked to be. The audience applanded. Then he turned and resumed, or rather besan a fifteen minute Salvation Army address. It was not what the audience expected. Metropolitan Temple was crowded and the services for two hours had been in the nature of a curtain raiser prelimmary to | the arrival of the commander, who was ex- pected not later than 8:30. 7 His train was tardy and the consul, his wife, ill,”as she was compelled to speak twice. Brizadier Keppel employed a great deal of time recovering a shortage in the | collection; a baby was dedicated to the cause by the consul under the united flags | of the army and the United Statesin a very pretty ceremony; Major Lewis made a most effective address; Major the singer, followed—and the audience all the time waiting for the com- mander to come and greet his sick wife. And when be came he apologized for kissing her—which he did not do with half the fervor which the audience, trained to blood and fire ideas, absolute sincerity and disregard for appearances in the face of number of people, expected him to do. ooth-Tucker, however, has a winning, smiling face of evident sincerity and earn- estness. He is above 50 in appearance; thin, gray-haired, but full ‘of active vital- ity. ‘He came directly from the train and came up on the stage, as he said, “‘just as I am, without one plea.” He made no refer- ence in his talk to the affairs of the army. except to say that he had told the geneul )a “wished some other had been made b nder here; bntt:;vmz b;en qr:l;rpd to'this post he expect reater victories than .V‘:l” before.

To-morrow aiternoon he will meet the Auxiliary Army at 3 o’clock; to-morrow evening another and the last fllblie meet- ing of the series will be held in Metropolitan Temple, and Friday morning he will meet with the officers of the army—to the ex- clusion of others—and taik of army af- fairs. —— s CHINESE AS GLAZIERS. Mongolians Take the Places of White Men—Railway Employes, At a meeting of the glaziers last evening several grievances were laid before the union by its members. One report was that two large sash factories are employ- ing Chinamen to do their glazing in pre- fererce to white men. Another report was that a contractor employed a China- man to do the glazing work on a new building. The union’s delegates to the Building Trades Council were instructed to lay the matter before that body for in- vestigation and action. Efforts will be made to unionize all the shops in the City. Several new members were initiated. At the meeting of the local American Railway Union last evening the !ollom‘l'\vg officers” were installed: President, G. W, West: vice-president, O. P. Waldon; sec- retary, C.J. Deseda; treasurer, D. Schafer. The annual report of the secretary showed that the union is in a better condition than it has been since the strike. The treasury is in a good condition and the membership is muc: larger than is gener- ally supposed by tiie railroad companies.
