At the meeting of the executive com- mittee of the San Francisco Labor Coun- cil held last night the following review of the local labor situation was adopted: The Employers' Assoclation, .true to its pol- ¥ of attempting to disrupt the trades unions, and to have only servile labor in this city, has ordered the wholesale and retail butchers to interfere in the cooks’ and waiters strike. Res- tauranis displaying the union card are being refused meat and threatened that if the card | is not surrendered within a certain date their meat supply will be shut off for a definite or indefinite period. And the employing butchers boast of this action and glory In their power to ruln business men who refuse to obey their mandates. The snokesmen of the Employers’ Association “dictation, ployer's business.” cal exercise of power now butchers be called?

The enrollment of voters was larger than expected. In two or three districts the meetings for organ- ization took on the character of popular demonstrations in behalf of good govern- ment. The -Republican Primary League is now effectively established in every dis- trict of the city and will be able to ren- der the public great service in putting for- | ward good and true men for delegates 1o | the municipal nominating convention of the party. It is obvious that the power and influence of the league will increase daily from this time until August 13, the day of primary election. Twenty-Eighth District. Republicans of the Twenty-eighth As- sembly District, in response to a call is- sued by the Republican Primary League, met at 46 Steuart street last evening and organized a club. Colonel L. P. Crane was elected president, M. M. Foote vice | president and F. J. Hopper secretary. | Gan%s of ruffians and rounders recruited | in the tenderloin sought to disturb the | meeting and caused several fights. This district_is the stronghold of the bosses, hence the attempt to prevent organization of the league forces. The rounders who provoked the disturbance sought to show | their gratitude to Boss Kelly for favors extended in keeping them from going to jail by putting him in_nomination for president of the club. There are many indications that the league will develop sufficient strength in the Twenty-eighth to elect the delegates from that district to the nominating convention. Twenty-Ninth District. The Republicans of the Twenty-ninth Assembly District organized a good club last evening. B. McNamara called the meeting to order. The following officers were elected: President, J. S. Parry liam Tongd; ‘secretary, secretary, J. H. O'Brien; sergeant at arms, E. Dre An executive committee was appointed, consisting of E. S. Havens, Fred Hawes, J. S. Elliott, T. H. Sheehan, J. Nagle- maker, J. J. Daughney, J. B. McNamara, William_Phillips, F. J. Morton and Wil- liam Phemrister. Many Republicans signed the foll.

Republicans of the Thirtleth Assembly District, responding to the call of the Pri- mary League, organized a club last night by the clection of the following named of ficers: President, L. Sencana: vice vresident, L. Saunders; secretary, J. Erb;. treasurer, F. Kocheler; sergeant at arms, C. O'Connor. Thirty-First District. Under the auspices of the Republican | Primary League a club was organized in the Thirty-first Assembly District last | evening. The officers elected were as fol- low: | _ President, B. J. Flood; first vice president, James C. Sharp; second vice president, M. D. | Molander; ‘gecretary, J. A. Madden; treasurer, | C. T. Quincy; sergeant at arms, H. M. Wolfin- | ger. An executlve committee was appointed and also a committee on membership, con- vice president, Wil- Wynn;_financial reasurer, R. Munk; | sisting of one from each precinct. The | following resolution was unanimously | adopted: Resolved, That we, the regular Republican Club of the Thirty-first Assembly District, in- dorse and commend the efficient work of the Republican Primary League in arousing the interest of the Republican voters of San Fran- cisco in the primaries, and we furthermore pledge our hearty support and sympathy to said Republican Primary Leaguein its efforts in behalf of good, clean, stable municipal gov- | ernment. Thirty-Second District. The Republicans of the Thirty-second Assembly District met last night. T. C. Duff called the meeting to order. Many citizens signed the roll. The club adjourn- | ed to meet this evening for election of offi- cers. Thirty-Third District. | The Republicans of the Thirty-third As-| { sembly District organized last night' by | the election of Captain Douglas, presi- | | tice of the moderate demands of their help | signifiec their willingness to grant these, be- | ing assured that with the aid of the union card | —this guarantee or humane working condi- ions—they would get sufficlent additional | trade to offset the unfair competition of their hbors who refuséd to grant better condi- to their help. Then, backed by the work e unions and the aid of the fair-minded public, very soon the unfair restaurants would ce that it paid to run union houses and would o grant union conditions to their employes. of this would have been accomplished All without strikes and boycotts, just as it was dome throuch the union in the case of the | 2060 laundry workers in this city, if it had not been for the Employers' Association, which | issued its fiat that the restaurants and hotels of this city must not concede the trade rules of the Cooks’ and Waiters' Alllance.

The journeymen butchers at that time scared the boss butchers off by threat of | a strike if they were forced to cut meat only for non-union houses. For over three days the | cyster companies absolutely refused oysters to | unton restaurants and only the threat of a | boycott by the Labor Council forced these companies to again supply union houses. The Cooks' and Waiters’ Alliance continued to gain ground, but the boss butchers only awaited | their opportunity to punish their employes for attempting to balk them In their desizn to disrupt the Cooks’ and Waiters’ Alliance. Shut Off Meat Supply. When the Journeymen Butchers’ Union dis- tributed the union meat c: to insure its members of the permanency of the shorter work day recently gained and to stop the dis- charge of its members for the only reason that ey were members of the union, the boss butchers shut off the meat from butcher shops displaying the unfon card. The strike thus en resulted dlsas- trously to the Butchers' Unfon. The odds on the sids of the employers were too great. The Butchers’ Union thus weakened, the boss butchers went back to their old game. They issued the ukase that no more meat shall be £0ld to restaurants displaying the union card. They are enforcing this ukase to the best of their ability. Interviews had by committees of the Labor Council with Rodolph of Miller & Lux, with H. Moffat and H. Levy, repre- =enting the wholesale butchers and holding the key to e situation by controlling the meat £upply, ved futile. ‘hese men were fully informed of the conditions existing in the res- taurants and what the success of their policy meant to the several thousand men and women compelled to work in restaurants of this city. But r. Rodolph of Miller & Lux, the heavy man_in the committee, cared nothing for the miserysand degradation of these unfortunates. The followinz circular letter, dated July 1, was sent to the boss butchers of this city: “‘Dear Sir; Please take notice that it has been determined by the Wholesale Butchers and the Jobbers’ and Retailers’ Assoclation of San Franeisco to end the strife between restaurant proprietors of San Francisco and place all on a footing’ of equality. It has been deemed ad- visable that they all should remove thelr union cerde. You are requested to discon- tinue doing business with such establishments as refuse to accede to this demand.

F. Kelly, secretary, and Harry Schul- k\en. treasurer. Thirty-Fourth District. A meeting of the Republicans of the Thirty-fourth District was held last night under the call of the county corumittee in Native Sons Hall, on Seventeenth street. . L. Harthorn acted as chairman and Morgan Backus as secretary. Those Re- publicans who feel the necessity of work- ing in harmoeny with the primary league were present and it was the unanimous sense of the meeting that the resolution proposed by Mr. McClellan that the coun- 1ty committee be requested to recognize the Republican club organized June 28 with Martin Jones as president be considered the official club of the district. There were many Republicans present who had not signed the original roll of the Thirty-fourth District Club. They left their names with the secretary of the meeting. Thirty-Fifth District. The Republicans of the Thirty-fifth Dis- trict, under the auspices of the Primary League, met last night and organized a club. E. R. Pease was elected president and Thomas R. Huling secretary. Thirty-Sixth District. Republicans of the Thirty-sixth Assem- bly District organized last night at Guer- rero and Twentieth streets. There was a large attendance, and the meeting was characterized by harmony and good fel- lowship. Henry C. Langren called the meeting to order and thirty-six members signed the roll. On the completion of the roll an election was held with the follow- ing result: President, Henry C. Langren; vice president, Charles H. Allen; eecretary, H. C. Pearce; treasurer,sW. C.

Thirty-Seventh Distriet, Organization of Republicans under the auspices of the Primary League was effect- ed last night in the Thirty-seventh Dis- trict by the election of J. K. Jones presi- dent and S. Bloom secretary. A commit tee of enrollment was appointed. Thirty-Eighth Assembly District. The Republicans of the Thirty-eighth Assembly District held a lively meeting in Mascot Hall last night. Permanent or- ganization of the district club was effect- ed by the election of Myrtile Cerf as chairman and A. M. Curry secretary. The feature of the meeting was the lack of harmony. The chair refused to entertain a motion to adjourn, and a hot debate followed, which ended only when one of the members was escorted from the hall by police officers. He was allowed to re- turn after taking a walk around the block to cool his ire. The motion to ad- journ was then put and carried by a large vote. About twenty members signed the club roll. First vice president, J. C. Kimbal; second vice president, E. B. Fusier; secretary, C. H. Sommerlad; treasurer, Leon Biock; sergeant-at- arms. George Faber; executive committee— Frank Marina, C. H. Sommerlad, John H. Nel- son, Charles Winkler, Harry Huff, George Zocchi, Louls Stroeb, Willlam Fitzgerald, E. Forbush, Julius Nathan, Charles Hynes, R. Luna, M. Bricca, J. C. Kimbal, E. D. Fusier. After the permanent organization A. Ruef was called upon and maue a telling speech, outlining the work proposed by the Municipal Primary League in alding the central committee to organize clubs in the districts at this time. ‘“The league,” he sald, “has no candi- dates to elect; none to defeat. We want clean politics, in the sense that a man's word in politics shall stand for as much as his word In business. We want a fair division of the rewards of politics as of its labors, so that North Beach can have a Supervisor now and then, for instance. The league is not seeking patronage, but it wants to see the patronage apportioned to the districts, and by the districts given to their workers. This is an auspicious year, and we'want to win and to win hon- estly. Get your neighbers to turn out at the primaries, even though they do not agree with you, so that they will take an interest. And we will shake off the dom- ination of self-seekers, defeat the dis- S0 far successfully stood off" the bose butchers and still display the union card.

Mrs. Bell’s story of the transaction whicl as now culminated in the charge of fraud is as follows: “On May 24, 1899, R. Porter Ashe, who was then acting as my attorney, availed himself of his relations as my attorney and represented that certain persons werc seeking to have me declared incompetent. He was aware of the fact that I had in my possession diamonds and jewels val- ucd at $35,000, and he informed me that the persons who were seeking to have me declared incompetent would also endeavor to get possession of the jewels and con- vert them to their own use. “Mr. Ashe, the defendant, advised me to place the jewels in his hands for safe keeping. Believing what he said was true and wishing to save the diamonds, I placed them in the possession of the de- fendant. Subsequently he took the jew- els to New York and later informed me that he had sold them. Though he ad- mitted having received $15,000 for the jew- els, he only paid into my hands the sum Stnce the sale of the jewels the defendant has refused to make an ac- counting of the sale of the jewels and { upon information and belief this plaintiff alleges that the defendant either received $35,000, the value of the jewels, or con- verted a large portion of the same to his own use.” fter making this recitation. Mrs. Bell s that she be given judsment against Ashe for the sum of $23,000, the difference between the alleged value of the jewels and the sum he returned to her, $12.000. and that he be adjudged guilty of fraud and imprisoned until the debt is paid.
