METCALF, h the present Congress- man from the Third Congres- sional District, has carried every county in his district and will have no opposition in the Congressional convention. Mr. Metcalf carried Alameda County at the primaries by a majority of 3480, -carrying every Assembly district in the county and 53 voting pre- cincts out of 58 in the county. Henry P. Dalton, the defeated candidate, declined to make any statement. The rumor of ap independent fight on the part of Mr. Dalton has been renewed to-night, but it is hardly likely that this will be made, in view of Mr. Dalton’s published disclaimer of any such intention. This means a revolution of the political con- ditions in Alameda County. 9 jrfoofeelonfosfmfrofomfonts ofofe + -l- 'I-H'K-H—H-P’Hvl- ) e S e o ol Aug. 11.—The returns om the primary in Alameda nty are so one-sided that there | l< no chance for a dispute.

BATTLE OVER THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY AT HAND Millmen United to Enforce Their Ultimatum on Monday. Oakiand Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, August 1L Interest among trade unionists is cen- tered in the impending battle between the mill workers and employers for an eight- hour day. The workmen claim that their movement has received great impetus throughout the entire Pacific Coast. They announce that they are prepared to pre- sent a united front and that a walkout | of thousands of men will be the result of | the refusal of mill operators to recognize their uitimatum, which is to go into effect on_ Monday. | The Oakland union has the backing of | the Federated Trades and the Building | Trades Council of Alameda County. They | declare that they have thoroughly organ- | ized-to assist their fellow craftsmen in | this battle for shorter hours of labor. The reply of the mill owners” has been | to’ practically igrore the demands of the | operatives. Nearly every mill owner in | San Francisco, Oakland and the other | nearby cities has signea an agreement to hours and B e o Replying to this stand, the union men request for increased wages. They assert that they do not expect serious trouble, but they do insist upon the cut in hours of labor. They argue that there is a gen- eral tendency to readjust time in other | trades to an eight-hour basis. The Labor day celebration committees of the Building Trades Council are much | encouraged by the interest which is be- ing taken by the various labor organiza- tions in the celebration preparations. The holiday is September 3. A feature will be a reunion at San Lorenzo Grovs Solano County Solid for Metcalf. DIXON, Aug. 11.—By their vote to-day the Republicans of Northern Solano Coun- ty declared in favor of the Metcalf dele- | gates. At Dixon no Dalton ticket ap-| peared in the eld. Early in the morning a report was circulated that a Dalton ticket would be out, but owing to some Enlmml reasons it failed to appear. D. McKinnon, the delegate from here, is mr Metcalf. VALLEJO, Aug. 11.—At the Republican primaries election here to-day, 49 votes were cast, of which 864 were for the Met- | calf delegates, § were scratched and_the balance were for Dalton delesates. It is reperted here that the Benicia primaries were carried by the Dalton men. ———— Knights of Pythias.

HENRY P. DALTON. Emil Nusbaumer, the manager for Vie- tor H. Metcalf, issted the foliowing state- | men' It was predicted when Mr. Dalton became a candidate for the office of Congressman against Mr. Metcalf that Mr. Metcalf would be returned be- cause of hls splendid record as a first- termer. This prediction has been veri- fied by the vote of to-day. The desire of the public to leave the administra- tion of public affairs in the hands of William McKinley, our present Presi- dent, and tbose in full accord with him, was fully demonstrated. At a primary m-daY throughout the district a fair and full expression was obtain- ed, and at the coming election I have no doubt that all factional strife and bitterness engendered at the primary will be L'Olee[e]} buried, and the Rer publican party will, as 'always, pre- sent an unbroken and harmonious front.

The latter is in doubt. In the Forty-sixth district It was agreed that the nomination should go to J. C. i Crooks of Haywards. In the Forty-sev- enth district Joseph R. Knowland of Ala- meda never had any opposition, so strong was he. and ha was a tower of strength to Congressman Metcalf. Tn the Forty- eighth district the fight was very bitter the present Assembly man, carried the district as against the umlpdged ticket, by forty-one votes. In the Forty-ninth district David ' McWade had no opposition. In the Fiftieth dis- trict Bernard Miller made a fight against | i Bliss, the present Auembl)mln but Bliss carried the district by votes. The returns from the me-nrst arstrict are uncertain and will have to be can- vassed by the County Committee. set of figures gives Frederick C. Clift ninety-one majority over Dr. N. K.
