WORKINGMEN ARE INDIGNANT | % WARMLY COMMEND THE STAND TAKEN BY THE CALL. Building Trades Council Will Keepj Up the ‘Agitation Until the | Matter Is Satisfactorily Settled. The meeting of the Buflding Trades.| Council last’ night was a particularly in- teresting one, the major portion of ~the time being given to tha discussion of the many phases which the controversy over | Chinesdmade ~ uniforms “has , taken. Throughout the course of the evening, as | the various delegates rose, the stand ta- ken by The Call on'the matter was warm- 1y commended as being compatible with | the hest interests of the laboring classes. Many men.who have been prominent in | the matter as having a deeper signifi- | ars on the surface, and | prophesy a race war if the matter is not | and satisfactorily settled. ~In | fact, the first step in this direction was | taken by. the council last night, when a | committee, consisting of P, H. McCarthy, W. M. Page and A. H. Coburn, was ap- mass meeting and parade, ~ The commit- tee was given unlimited powers and will be allowed to use its own judgment. As an offset to various statements that the trouble has been settled with satis- faction to all parties-the following reso- lutions were unanimously adopted: ‘Whereas, for sometime past the matter of the manufacture of clothing for the United States C Sary Department by Chinese has en- gaged the attention of the peopie of San cisco; and whereas, In a memorial to the Call- fornia de ation and .

CRAWFORD, President. N. M. PAGE, Secretary. The following statement is made by S. B. ‘Nolan, atailor, who applied to the Commissary Department for a fraction of the enormous contract let three weeks ago to the firm of Rothchild & Hoffman for the manufacture of - blouses -and trousers for the soldiers: “When I_ascertained at the Cammis- sary Department that it was utterly im- possible to get any of the work I applied to Rothchild & Hoffman, thinking that | since they undoubtedly had. more work than they ‘could finish in-the stipulated time, they would be willing to sublet por- tions of the general contract to the retai dealers. This, after considerable disc sion, they agreed to do on the terms that for ‘every dozen_ suits manufactured by me they ‘would allow $4 7, they appropri- ating to.thelr own use the remainder of the $9, the. price of the original contract awarded by the Government. This I re- fused to accept,as did several other small dealers, and, as a consequence of this re- fusal to make the clothes for almost nothing, the contract is being fulfilled in Chinatawn. “The publication of this fact two weeks ago and the general denouncement made against the Commissary Department for allowing the clothes to be made in China- town is generally believed to have been beneficial and the means of creating the effect to force the Hoffman firm to trans- fer their work to the shops of Ameri- cans. This, however, is erroneous, as the work is still belng performed by China. men, as can be proven by Labor Commis- sioner Fitzgerald and Mr. Dam of the same office. “Since the necessary clothes have been made In this city nobody but the influen- tial wholesale dealers and the Chinamen have received the least benefit. ~Poor women, many of them the widows of sol- diers, have been repeatedly refused work. and, 'in_addition to this refusal, treated shamefully. when they have applied for i STREET COMMITTEE WORK. The prospects are that the dilapidated Cogswell fountain, which will be removed from the Intersection of California, Mar- ket and Drumm streets, to make way for a flagstaff from which Old Glory will be floated, will soon find its way into some junk shop. Professor A. B. Sanford of the Cogswell Polytechni¢c School requested the Supervisors for permission to remove the fountain and have it erected in Co- lumbia square. This request was con- sidered by the Street Committee yester- day, and it was decided to -advise the board to sell the fountain and turn the proceeds into the Fire Department fund. After the transaction of the usual rout- ine business the committee decided to re- port in favor of the petition of the Pre- cita Valley Improvement Club, asking that Shotwell, Howard and Capp streets and Treat avenue, from Twenty-sixth street to Precita avenue, be graded and macadamized, and also that Twenty- sixth street, betweet Bryant street and Potrero avenue, be sewered. ————— Story of the Round Up of One of the Most Infamous Bands of Out- laws in the Southwest A In Next Sunday’s Call. e ee i A Lawsuit Comes Before War.

This law pro- vides that such-officers shall be selected from among those whose names appear on the assessment roll and a heavy pen- alty is attached to the failure of any.one selected who-does not serve: unless he can offer a legal excuse. Auditor Broderick did not take Kindly to the innovation, nor did City and Coln- ty Attorney Creswell. Broderick said he believed that many worthy people wouid be shut out because their names are not on the assessment roll, and Attorney Creswell intimatéd that he did not: be- lieve the law constitutional. Reglstrar Biggy presented a list - of about . 20,000 eligible officers taken: from the assessment roll, ‘whereupon Auditor Broderick interposed another objection on behalf of the “push.” “1 would like to know," said he, *how we can from this list ascertain the po- litical faith of those on it. - It iS neces- sary to equally apportion the oflicers of election among the several parties.” “That can be easily determined,” sald Major McLlaughlin, chairman of the Re- publican State Central Committee. *Fur- nish the Republican State Central Com- mittee with a copy- of the list and we will mark off-the Republicans and guar- antee them to be trustworthy citizens: 1 an state on behalf of the Republican | tate Central Committee that the mem- | bers, one and ali, are in hearty accord with the proposition of the Registrar.

Now, Major McLaugn- lin, will you guarantee the moral char- acter of the men you designate as Repub- licans?” “The fact that they are Republicans is | a sufficient guarantee,” replied the major, | smiling blandly. Auditor Broderick found it necessary to step out to get a glass of water to avoid the crushing laughter that followed Major McLaughlin's sally. 4 G. D. Gillespie, representing the People's arty, .favored the plan, and after a engthy discussion it was decided to fur- nish _the - State Central Committees of the Republican, Democratic and: People’s party with copies .of the Ilst of names to mark off.
