B | During the past week the long stagd- | | jng differences between the mill owners | nd millworkers have been amicably ad- | justed and an agreement reached, which, | it 1= hoped, will prevent any recurrence of | the trouble. But while the millmen’s | | strike is over the teamsters are at outs | with their employers over the question of | wages, hours and the boarding camps, and unless the quarrel is patched up there is | | l1able to be a big tie-up of business, espe- | cially in the building and mercantile lines, | | in this ecity. | A fight is also on between Schussler Bros. and the- plcture frame workers | lately employed at their place of business. At the meefing of the Labor Council on Friday night that body declared its in- tention of levying a boycott against the firm unless it recedes from its stand in lecking out union hands. The barbers, having succeeded in gain- | | ing State legislative recognition, are mak- | ing great plans for the future. Governor | Gage has conditionally promised to ap- | | PR . . — | point J. J.

What | the Hackmen'’s Union will try to do is to | have the members of the union patronize | hacks in preference to other means of | veyance at the funeral of a member | | of of any of his family. | _A schedule of wages drawn up by the | |'members of that wages shall be not lees than $40 per | month with board, and $60 where no board | is provided. Twelve hours is to constitute | a day’'s work, and all overtime is to be | paid for at the rate of 40 cents an hour. A communication was received from August TIten, secretary the Milkers' | Union of California, requesting the union to send delegates to a convention of pro- vision trades, the purpose of which is to organize a group of trades unlons into a sub-council, " the said group being those that depend largely for their success on showcards, union labels, stamps. etc,, It was resolved to send a full delega- tion and to assist the project in every posssible way. Grosse, T. Tuite, Ch. Cantert and” A. R. Andre were elected delegates to the convention, which will convene at {he office of the Milkers' Union. 526 Montgomery street, on Wednes- day, February 27, at § p. m.

At the close of Miss Buckley's season with Manager Jacob Litt in New York he kindly gave his consent for her to appear at the ‘Alcazar. It was arranged that Miss Buckley should appear here in some of her great successes, Including ‘“The Jirst Born" and “Hearts Are Trumps.' She arrived here the early part of th: week and was rehearsing with _the com- | pany for her aprearance. Yesterday anager Litt wired Miss Buckley that she must return to New York at once and rehearse for the star part in “The Price of Peace.” Miss Buckley though she was Litt had selected her for the star role she was sorry that she had to return so soon to New York. Miss Buckley has a host of friends in this city and she had planned to renew all old acquaintances.
