S. H. Kent was elected temporary chairman. i Mr. Kent stated that the objec: of the meeting was to make some effort to end ! the strike among the mill workers and to | form a protective employers’ assoclation to that end. Mr. Kent said that he was in favor of the eight-hour movement on general princip he ultimate basis of a day’'s w ald Mr. Kent, “will be elght hours, and the sooner we adopt that standard the better it will be for all.” Mr. Kent then suggested that the meet- ing appoint a committee to draft plans of organization and at the same time to con- fer with the Bullding Trades Council Supervisor Dwyer moved that a com- mittee of five be appointed Contractor C. Chisholm favored the ap- pointment of a committec to consist of one member of each branch of the bufld- ing trades and was opposed to the organi- zation of a new body. James A. Wilson thought that a new or- ganization was needed. He was in favor of the eight-hour limit for a day's work, but thought that all disputes between em- ployers and their emy es should be set- tled without the interference of outside parties. He cited an instance of the ac- tien of the labor unions in calling his men oft from work because they were laying | bricks on a building, the owner of which had formerly employed non-union mu- siclans in the place “I don’'t want a member of the milk- men’s union or the musicians’ union com: 10 1me and tell me how to do my work. It I have any trouble with my men I can settle it. The contractors are unable to do any business if a sub-contractor buys any materfal fr nine-hour mill and this state of aff; is most unjust. We must end this trouble for the interests of | all parties.” Contractor McGilvray made a stirring | speech in which he thought that the first thing to do to organize. He depre- cated the idea of a committee of an un- | organized body meeting the labor unions which were fully equipped. Mr. MeGil- | yray made an attack >u certain men iden- tified with the labor unions and designai- ed them as “pothouse politicians.” He | | cited the example of Chicago, whera | business was stagnant, due to the “cap- | tains of industry’ being run by the “rank and file”” The speaker moved a substi- tute to the previous amendments that a committee of three be appointed to for- mulate plans of organization, to confer | with all interested parties as to the mill strike and to report beck to the meeting | in a week. | _Contractor Kelleher denounced McGil- | vray for his attack cn certain of Lhe | | union leaders and said that nothing was to be gained by abuse. “If you had acted in a manly spirit three ‘months ago,” saild the sSpeaker, “you would not be forced to compromise | at_this time.” Kelleher was interrupted by loud cries of “Question,”” but bLe insisted on his right 1o contihue speaking. "I know that you don’t like this ques- tion,” he sald, emphasizing the last word. ‘and you know you want to compromise. Some of you think that it is a crime for a workman to ask for a day of elght | hours, but the Government and many | States thought otherwise.” Contractor Wilson said that it was not | a compromise that was wanted, but an adjustment of the difficulty. D. H. Bibb of the Bibb Lumber Com- any said that his firm proposed to run ts business in its own way and would not be dictated to by the labor unions or any other body. He claimed that it was impossible for the mills to run eight hours a day and be successful, as thay had_to compete with the mills north o* the State. which ran ten and twelve hours a day. The mill owners have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested and could not possibly compcte with the north- ern mills outside of California. “I am in favor,” sald Bibb, “of a fight to the end.” The views of Mr. Bibb did not find su port with the contractors present and he was interrupted by loud calls for ths “‘question.” y a majority vote the substitute of- McGilvray ‘was carried and Chairman Kent appointed the committee to formu- late plans for organization of an inde- endent body; also to confer with (he labor unions as to the strike among the millmen and to report back to the meet- ing, which adjourned until next Friday afternoon at half-past 1 o’clock. ‘The committee appointed is as follows: Messrs. McGilvray, J. A. Wilson and F. H. Maso B For a Cold in the Head. Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets. WIDOW ENOS GETS REMAINS OF HER HUSBAND Novel Point Is Decided by the Supreme Court in the Enos Oase. Renders a Decision That a Body Is Not Property Susceptible of Disposal by Will. i That a man may not dispose of his body by w:ll, if his kin lay claim to it, is the decision of the Supreme Court of Califor- nia. The ruling was made in a singular case. After a legal battie of two years' dura- tion, a widow is given leave to inter the of her husband, despite the fact that willad differen and within a few the body of John 8. nos, a pioneer noma County, will be taken out of a of vault and interred in the family plat. It appears that in 1888 John S. Enos went to work for Mrs el Jane Sny- der.

Two M. should arrange for h later Susie T s and her hier, M Gertrude W , filed sult st M vder for possession of the body. The case proved to be a sensation | and ‘the population of Sonoma County | was evenly divided in opinion and ths | outcome of the suit was watched with in- | tense interest The Superfor Court or- | dered the body to be placed in a vault | pending the hearing of the case, and it | has remained in the sepulcher to this | | day. Judgment was given in favor of the widow and an appeal was promptly taken | to the Supreme Court., Yesterday the | court handed down its decision, in which | it held that a body is not property suscep- | tible of disposal by will and must be ! | buried by next of kin. { Health Board Reduces Force. The Health Board met last night and adopted a resolution abolishing the posi- | tion of Sewer Inspector held by J. J. Con- | nolly. The board decided to do away with one Food Inspector e Sanitary In- spector from January Lots wili be drawn, so that one inspector in each de- partment will be laid off for one month at a time. This action was taken because | the board is confronted with a deficit and this can effect a saving of 31650 for the next six months.
