THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY JULY 28, 190 GENERAL STRIKE OF LABOR UNIONS IMPENDS, AS VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS, AFTER CANVASSING SITUATION, DECIDE T0 CALL ALL THE ENROLLED WORKINGMEN OUT UNLESS TEAMSTERS' STRIKE IS SETTLED BY TO-MORROW NIGHT SCO1+ OFFERS NO CONCESSIONS TO MACHINISTS A Committee of Workmen Meets the Union lIron Works President. It Is Learne—d— From Other Sources, However, That Matter Is Settled. Eenry T. Scott, president of the Union Iron Works, has issued his ultimatum. He yesterday informed & committee of ten men who represented the striking em- ployes that the men could return to their ‘work and submit to the same conditions end pay es were in vogue before the strike. For nearly two hours yesterday the committee from the Metal Trades Coun- «<ll and President Scott were closeted to- gether in the offices of the Union Iron “Works. The committee was composed of the following named representatives of their respective departments: ¥. M. Burnet, machinist; John Dumcanson, ith; J. Deitz, molder; W. R. Butier, ship ftter; James McFeeley, biacksmith's helper; D. Murray, plate shop; James Hecker, pipefitter; George W. Reed, machine pattern- maker; A. Coskley, shipyard pattern-maier, and Thomas Carroil, boller worker. At the close of the interview the com- mittee took its departure and declined to give an intimation as to whether it had et with success or failure. The members Tepaired immediately to headquarters, ‘where the resuit of their mee ‘was discussed at length. Mr. Scott willingly told of the eonfer- ence. He said he did not invite it wwor aid he ask for one. He that he ‘was always in his office ready to see any one who called on him. In speaking of the meeting with his employes he said: “I simply told them that I wanted it dis- tinctly understood before they had any- thing to say that they did not come to my office by my reguest or the request of any one connected with the Union Iron Works. ““There were ten of our men in this com- mittee. They represented the different departments in our yards. There was no spokesman. Every man had his say and I had mine. “They were told there was no {ll feeling on the part of the Union Iron Works and when they were ready to come back under the same conditions of work and the same | pay that they were getting previous to the strike they could come back. 1 told them there would be another condition imposed by us, and that was there was to be less loafing than had been done pre- vious to May 20. I said loafing would not be tolerated, and I mean it. And, fur- ther, any man found derelict in his duty | would be discharged. ; “] showed the committee that the profits in shipouildl: were not as great | as they belleved. Mr. Burnet claimed | that we made $1,800,00 profit on the bat- tleship Wisconsin. 1f we had I would have retired from shipbuilding. I told | Mr. Burnet and other members of the | committee that we paid out $1,339,000 for material, and if they so desired they could secure experts to check up our books.

The Brotherhood of Teamsters, through John McLaughlin, secretary, and Michael Casey, business agent, has issued the fol- lowing statement regarding the contro- versy between that body and the Dray- men’s Association: 5 - Prior to the organization of the Brotherhood of Teamsters in San Francisco the dally hours of labor of men in the teaming industry ran from 5 a. m. to 8 p. m. and 9 p. m. Any man who objected to these hours was immediately. told: "It yeu don't like it you know what you ‘can Seeing that the abuses were so great, while business in the teaming business was good, the teamsters banded themselves together for their own interests and protection. With this object we formed a local organization known as_the Brotherhood of T When about ome week old the draying firm of McNab & Smith undertook to disrupt our organization. These gentlemen called their em- ployes together and stated that they ‘‘must either quit the brotherhood or their empioy.” They asked three of their employes if they were members of the union, and being an- swered in the affirmative, these men were im- 'he three members re- to reinstate them. On the firm’s refusal to #0 the remaining employes of the firm were called out, thus beginning the first strike ot the brotherhood. After beiug out eight hours the firm decided to take back the men, which it did, and the incident was closed. The teamsters of the city, realizing the bene- fits to them of a protective organization, rap- idly joined the brotherhood axd on September 17 a circular was sent to the different firms setting forth the terms which we desired to have inaygurated in the teaming business, said terms to take effect October 1, 1300. On September 21 we received the following ecqmmunication: “To the Officers and Members of the Brother- hood of Teamsters—Gentlemen: I bave to ad- vise you that the executive committee of the Draymen's Association of San Francisco has called & special meeting to be held this even- ing, September 27, 1900, and I have to request that the Brotherhood of Teamsters (which, [ am informed, also meets this evening) shoull appoint a committee to confer with a similar committee from our association in regard to the matter mentioned in your communication bearing date September 17, 1900. Yours truly, L. TILDEN, “President Draymen's Association.’ In accordance with this request a committee was appointed, which met a committee of the Draymen’s Association consisting of Messrs Tilden, Bocarde, Evers, Austin and Renner. After some discussion the following rules and regulations were adopted: Rules That Were Adopted. *No member of the brotherhood shall work for any person or firm who is not a member of the Draymen’s Association, except that where members of the bretherhood have been working on teams which heretofore have been operated party who does his own work they may continue doing that work. but no member of the brotherhood shall work for any such party for any lower rate of wages than herein set forth. ing our work and are not worrying.” Althcugh President Henry T. Scott gave | out that matters will remain as indicated ip his foregoing statement, later infurma- tion indicates that the ironworkers wiZ return to work on Monday upon a €ofi- promise basis. A special meeting of the ¥ron-mecilders Union was held yesterday morning and a conciliatory committee w#s appointed, with full power to settie the strike watter to the best of their judgment. According to Secretary McCabe the nine-hour day was to be in d upon, but the other de- tails were to be left, for adjustment.

The executive committee of the Unlon | Labor party had an executive meeting last night in room 207, Emma Spreckels bullding. A statement of principles for the party was considered, b.. was not perfected. The following teicgram was sent to the Mayor of McKeesport, Pa.: SAN FRANCISCO, July 27, 1901 To Mayor Black, McKeesport, Pa.: Accept congratulstions of the Union Labor party for the stand taken by you in refusing police pro- tection to non-union mills. “No member—of the brotherhood shall drive a team or do any work for any one who has been or may be expelled from the Draymen's Assoclation, provided that if any member of the Draymen's Association should be expelled from the association the Brotherhood of Team- s shall have the right to inquire into the and to continue to drive for such ex- pel! member of the Draymen's Association until satisfied that sueh expulsion is in good feith and just. “This agreement is to be In force for one year from the date of signing. but any of the parties hereto may call on thé other to adjust grievances and may abrogate ,this agreement from cne day to one month after having given notice te do so."" The Draymen’'s Aseociation represented to the committee of the teamsters that it_con- trolled S0 per cent of the d 'men of San Fra cisco, but when our rules went Into effect found that it controlled about 6 per cent on | Thus we were confronted at the outset with a difficulty in the effort to bring the draymen not in the association under the rules of that body. Ome firm In particular (the Globe Dray- age Company) refused to join the association, and the latter insisted that the members of the brotherhood should not work for that firm and required us to take our members off the teams of the latter, the association agreelng to pay one-half of the cost of supporting the men thus called off—an agreement which was not carried out by the association. The Globe Drayage Company continued to do business, much to the dissatisfaction of the Draymen's Association. One member of the former firm, Mr. Goggins, in the employ of the Owl Drug Company, was compelled to sell out bis interest in the firm, and the company itself aftemard aold ‘out to e Draymests Rdmocih: tion. ‘The mext trouble arose over the flat trucks of the Haslett & Bailey Co., which the asso- | clation claimed was working a great Injury {10 its business. The Draymen's Association | appointed a committee of three, namely, Messrs. { McNab, Evers and Cutter, which, failing to | effect a_settiement, called upon the business agent of the brotherhood to It possible bring | about an agreement between them. As a re- | sult of our efforts a conferénce of all ware- | housemen in San Francisco held, at which 2an agreement on rates of drayage and storage in_excess of the former rates was reached. This arrangement seemed satisfactory for a time, until Mr. Morton saw fit not to comply with' the terms of the warehousemen's combi- nation, and flatly refused to live up to its rules, much to the dissatisfaction of the Dray- men's Association and the warehousemen. Abuses of Overtime Privileges. Again the Draymen's Assoclation appealed to the business agent of the brotherhood and requested him to bring about an agreement IRONWORKERS' STRIKE WILL PROBABLY BE ENDED TO-DAY, Francisco. | | into the combination.’ This proposal the broth- erhood refused to indorse. With regard to our revised rules and regula- tions, which we were forced to adopt because of the abuses of overtime privileges and the discharge of barn stewards and drivers Who claimed_their overtime, we decided to stop these abuses by putting into effect a more definite set of rules. These rules were rejected by the Draymen's Association, which, however, agreed to live up to the old rules in the future, or until Oc- tober 1, when they would expire by limitation. At a later period the Draymen's Association asked the assistance of the brotherhood in get- ting the leather and commission merchants to raise the rates of drayage. This the brother- hood refused to do, knowing that the prices asked were unreasonable. The firm of Gugen- heim & Co., which refused to accede to the demands of the association, preferring to deal with its draymen only, continued to have its hauling done at the old rate. The leather firms which refused to accede to the demands of the association at that time were as follows: Brown & Adams, S. H. Frank, W. D. Sumner, Kuhl- man, Salz & Co., and several others in the hide and leather business. The manager of the Draymen’s Assoclation then asked us that in event of their fallure to secure an increase in the rate of drayage, we should refuse absolutely to use any of the leather manufactured by these firms. ‘This proposition was also promptly rejected by the brotherhood. Ancther instance of the same kind relates to the contract for hauling to the Chutes new butlding, which was awarded to John Tuttle, who was not a member of the Draymen's As- | sociation, and who was doing work which they claimed belonged to the members of the latter body. The association asked the brotherhood to interfere in Its bebalf. We interviewed the architect, Mr. Lyons, and he decided to have none but union teamsters haul to the build- ing. Here a dispute arose as to the hauling of the cement. Jacobs & Co. had an option on this hauling and agreed tp sublet the work to the Stetson-Renner Draying Company at 30 cents per barrel, they to get @ rebate of & cents per barrel. Then anotper member of the association agreed to haul the tement at 20 cents per barrel and secured the job, much_to the dlssatistaction of Mr. Renner, Who be- cause the brotherhood refused to interfere in the matter has been the cause of much dissen- sion between the assoclation and the brother- hood. Trouble With Fruit Merchants. Regarding the situation of the fruit mer- chants, after s:veral conferences betwebn the Draymen's Association and the latter a sched- ule of rates of drayage was arranged, which, however, was not satisfactory to the dray- men. * This dissatisiaction was the cause of continual friction between both parties. Again the Brotherhood of Teamsteis was calied upcn to straizhten out the matter, which we did. with the assistance of Mr. Remner, More trouble, however, arose among the members of the assoclation. The Lewis Packing Company refused to advance the rate of drayage, dis- Charged their teamsters and turned over their work to another member of Draymen's Association, Sam Linderman. Diis:nsivn arose between the draymen as to who had the right to do the hauling, the assoclztion contending that the work belonged to Murphy & Deviin. A% Linderman contended that he had a right to do the bauling. charges were preferred against him in the association and he was found guilty of violating the rule that one member must nof take the work of another at the same rate or a lower rate. Mr. Lin- derman was asked to give up the work or be expelled. Linderman saw that the power against him was too great. He gave up the work at the time, but in a few days bought out the work and teams of Harrls Bros, and the Lewls Packing Company, which helonged to Murphy & Devlin. Some two weeks prior to the arrival of Ep- worth League in the city we were informed that the Morton Draying and Warehouse Com- pany had_entered_into an agreement with the Morton Special Delivery, which was not a member of the Draymen's Assoclation, which had refused to join the association aad over which the sssociation had no_control, to haul the baggage of the Epworth League from the Qepot o the Morton Special Dellvery Com- pany's office on Taylor street for distribution. The business agent of the Brotherhood of Teamsters was instructed to confer with Mr. Morton and notify him that we could not haul the baggage for the Speclal Delivery Company. Our agreement with the Draymen's Associa- tion provides that when any grievance arises the manager of the latter and our business agent shall confer and If possible settle the matter, This we did in the case of the dix- agreement_over the baggage of the Epworth League. Mr. Renner requested our Qusiness agent to go to Mr. Morton, Who was always looking for more privilezes than any other member of the association, end report to him owners of the various plants affected, and the failure of the ironworkers’ strike in the Eastern States seems to have brought about a realization of the conditions that would prevail in San our business agent waited upon Mr. Morton of the Morton Draying and Warehouse Company and stated to him that the Brotherhood of ‘Teamsters would refuse to haul the baggage of the Epworth League, as to haul it would be @ violation of the agreement between the Draymen’s Association and the Brotherhood of Teamsters, besides beipg contrary to the constitution of the former body, as may be scen from section 2, article 3, which reads as follows: *“It shall be the duty of each and all members of this association to patronizg a fel- low member when they need extra teams, and no member of this association shall furnish teams to any drayman who is not a member.” We took this step to avoid trouble with the Draymen’s Association, as tbat body had fre- quently complained of our members doing work for the special dellvery. Our business agent, as agreed uvon, reported to Mr. Ren- ner the following day, and found him prepared to back up' Mr. Morton If he wished to make a fight. He stated that he would bring the matter before the Draymen's Association meeting that night. The meeting voted to sustain Morton in event that the lat- ter should insist upon hauling the Epworth League baggage. The business agent of the teamsters then waited upon Mr. Morton, who thereupon de- clared that he would haul the baggage, either with union or non-union men. The business agent, seeing the probability of a conflict, then walted upon Dr. Filben, chairman of the re- ception committee of the Epworth League, and asked him if he could turn the baggage into other channels and in this way avold the pos- sibility of any delay to the guests of the city. Mr. Filben replied that all arrangements had been made and that he could do nothing fur- ther in_the matter. On the following Tuesday Mr. Morton in- structed his drivers to go to the depot and haul baggage, which they refused to do. The teamsters were immediately discharged. On the evening of the same day we received the following communication: SAN FRANCISCO, July 16, 190L To the officers and members of the Brother- hood of Teamsters—Dear Sirs: You are hereby notified that your interference in the conduct of the business of the Morton Drayage and Warehouse Company is unlawful and entirely unwarranted, and that your refusal to handie city is a blot gn its good name and fair repute, and you are further notified that unless you immediately cease such interference all ugree- ments and arrangements shall be considered as having been broken Ly you, and you are noti- fied that If the notice given to Mr. Merton is not withdrawn by or before 6 a. m. of July 17, 1901, then all arrangements between the.Brota- erhood of Teamsters and this association shall be considered at an end. Yours truly, C. L. TILDBN, President, WILLIAM RAUBINGER JR., Secretary, GEORGE RENNER, Manager, Draymen's Assoclation. The grievance committee of the Brotherhood of Teamsters instructed its business agent to interview Mr. Morton and try to have him re- instate the locked-out men, or, failing in that, 1o call out the other drivers in Morton's em- vloy, which latter step was finally taken. hat evening the Draymen’s Assoclation held a special meeting to sce what could be done to straighten out the matter. At that meet- ing a rcsolution was submitted to sustain the action of the executive committee and of the previous meeting, in supporting the Morton Drayage and Warehouse Company in_making a contract with the Morton Special Delivery, in violation of the constitution of the associa- tion. The resolution was last by & vote of 13 noes to 30 ayes. Further action was then postponed until Friday. In the interval some Influence unknown to us was brought to bear upon the association, as on Friday night a resolution was passed al- most unanimously to turn the whole matter over to the executive committee of the associa- tion. We have been informed that the execu- tive committee met this unknown powr on Saturday morning and resolved to lock out all members of the Brothgrhood of Teamsters. ‘With regard@o the position of the fruit mer- chants, and to set the Brotherhood of Team- sters right In this matter, we can state that the relations between the draymen and the merchants have not been friendly on account of the rates of drayage. Now the fruit men have appealed to the Brotherhood of Teamsters, whereas It is the draymen, to whom they have paid thousands of dollars annually, who have Tefused to consider their Interests and the in- terests of the frult industry of the State. The teamsters are certainly anxious to con- slder the fruit interests, and were prepared to do it, but for the Interference of a repsesnta- tiv_of McNab & Smith, who stated that his customers were prepared to take their chances in the struggle.

The original demand was for a nine-hour workday and an increase in wages then prevaili;:g of 12% per cent. Numerous conferences have been held, and a 6 per cent advance was practically agreed upon yesterday. The controversy will probably be settled to-day and the men will return to work {o-morrow or as soon thereafter as notices can reach them. : i While these conferences have been many and neither side has expressed a willingness | - to admit defeat, the happy medium seems to have been found.

K OAKLAND, July 27.—The boss draymen of this city will attempt to put 125 teams to work on Monday morning hauling freight of any kind offered between 'here and San Francisco. The lay-off of the teamsters this week was with the consent of the employers, who agreed not to try to move freight across the bay until Monday. On this basis the Teamsters’ Union ordered a walkout in sympathy with the strike in San Franeisco. Officers of the union gave out the information that there was entire harmony between them and the Dray- men’s Association, and stated that the “strike” would last only until Monday, being confident that the ditficulty across the tay would be adjusted by that time. "I'hey decline to say what action they will take Monday when orderéd to take their teams out if the strike is still on in San Francisco. The employers state that if their men refuse to work their places will be filled with those who will. Charles Scharff, a member of the Res- taurant Keepers’ Association, made a statement to-day, giving the reason why the cooks’ and waiters’ employers are dis- satisfied with the agreement entered into with the union. The union restaurants, says Mr. Scharftf, have not been protected from the non- union houses, as the cooks and waiters promised, nor has the union provided the help to take the places of the regular men on their days off. ‘The Postoffice Restaurant will continue |to pay union wages and allow the day off. The Cooks’ and Waiters’ Union an- nounces that it will fight the move toward the old schedule should the employers at- tempt to restore it. . el WANT MAYOR TO MEDIATE. ‘The {ndustrial conciliation council of the Municipal League has adopted the follow- ing resoiutions, to which.the names of the members are attached: ‘Whereas, The various strikes in this city have brought about an alarming condition of affairs,threatening the peace and weltare of the community and the business interests of the | State and municipality; and, Whereas, The efforts of this committee to bring about a cenfergnce between the parties | airectly interested in the disputes which have | resulted in the strkes have brought about indi- | vidual conterences which oniy partially affect | the situation; be it therefore | _Resolved, That the Hon.

Steel-Casting Concerns Will Poo! .Their Interests. —_— CHICAGO, July 27.—Another steel com- bination, embracing the principal plants engaged in making steel castings, is to be formed. The pucleus of the consolidation is the American Steél Casting Company of Chester, Pa. The capital is to be up- ward of $15,000,000, with the prospect that the amount will be increascd considerably later on. The list of companies said to be included in the scheme are the following: Ameri- can Steel Casting Company, Chester, Pa. Americen Steel Foundry Shickel, Harrison & Howard and Scu ling & Gullagher compani i Louis; Sargent Company, Chicago; Frank- lin Steel Casting Compuny, Franklin, Pa. Beabord Steel Casting Company, Chester, ¥ and possibly one or two others.

Sargent, president of the Sar- gent Company, Chicago, It is probable that Danlel Eagan will be chosen president. with headquarters at New York or Philadelphia. It was thought for a time that the consolidation might fail, but it was found that each concern enfering the combination was abl to syl L and it is on this basis that the scheme is n% being carried out. e companies in the combination make steel castings for rallroads, and it s said there will be a great saving to con- sumers in the number of patgnts used. At the present time there are about 100 different styles of car couplers complying with the requirements of the Master Car- bullders' Association and the Interstate Commerce Commission. : Most of these patents, while quite simi- lar in many respects, are owned by as many private owners, who have ordered the same made by the steel casting com- panies as orders were received from rail- roads. A movement will be made to | “standardize” by adopting three or four standard patterns and thus avoid the ne- cessity of forcing a railroad to carry a stock of parts for so many styles of couplers. ‘he steel casting companies own some of the principal patents and will refuse to make couplers for those outside the combination.

DRAWN PISTOLS CAUSE A CROWD TO DISINTEGRATE Some Sympathetic Admirers Rally to the Cause of Teamsters. Police Sergeant Makes Show of Weapons and Throng Saon Eatters. Although the disturbances expected dur- ing the morning’s early hours did not cc- cur, the police had a busy day of it. Chiet of Police Sulllvan, Captain Wittman and Lieutenant John Martin had charge of the patrol in the southern distriet. Every man had his club ready and made things lively for those who did not obey the in- Junetions to “move on.” ‘While the morning hours were compara- tively quiet the afternoon brought much trouble. On Folsom street, between Fourth and Sixth streets, the strikers and their sympathizers gathered about & o'clock in' large numbers. A driver em- ployed by the Overland Freight and Transfer Company, recently sworn In as a Deputy Customs Inspector, was driving along with a load ef goods and when in froat of the building now occupied by the Electric Laundry was assaulted by a crowd of the sympathetic residents of the neighborhood, striking teamsters and others. Sergeant Christensen h: ned along at that time and attempted to disperse the crowd. The driver was badly rattled, as the crowd attracted by the disturbance gathered about his truek. Christensen mounted the seat, pulled out two revolv- ers, that looked to the people assembled like thirteen-inch guns, and t-iumphantly drove up Fifth street. No sooner had this incident closed than Frank Jones, a drayman owning his own team, while escorted by a mounted police officer, had his_traces cut. Some of the pickets of the Brotherhood of Teamsters attempted to pull -him off his seat, but the mounted officers from the immediate neighborhood charged the crowd, riding their horses on the sidewalk &nd d rS- ing them. Jones repaired his har: ith baling rope and under police escort con- tinued his trip. He said that he was not hauling ‘‘unfair’” goods, and would ecall the attention of the Brotherhood to the damage that was done him. D. k. Bundy, a teamster brought from Sacramento by the Porter Eros.’ Com- pany to take the place of a striking driv- er, was brutally beaten yesterday mora- ing by two strikers. Bundy was en his way to the stables, near the.cormer of East and Merchant streets, when assauit- ed. He is a small man, & years of age, and was net able to defend himseif against the combined attack of the two buriy strikers, He suffered a broken nose, a pair of black eyes and numerous laeeru- tions of the head. Laouis Lutgen, a milk wagon driver, was assaglted last evening by ‘@ number of men who thought he was a non-union man. Lutgen went to the Receiving Hos- pital to have his injuries dressed. He claims he is a union man. Chiet of Police Suliivan has impressed all available men into patrol duty during the continuance of the strike. Sergeant Con- boy and his squad of four men will leave Chinatown. Three men have been taken from the City Prison, two from the license office and three from headquarters. Some who are on their vacation have been in- structed by telegraph to return at once. Ofticers assigned to detéctive duty have been instructed to have their uniforms at headquarters so that in the event of an emergency call they wiil be in readiness. Most of the members of the department are doing double duty. Captain Wittman has not been at his home since Tuesday night, being constanily on duty, except when snatching a few hours’ sleep on a eouch in his ofice. Parley Lewis, a Digger Tndian, who came to this city a few days ago Lo take the place of a striking draymau, was as- saulted on Third street lust night and had his weunds dressed at the Emergency Hospital. J. Heinrich, 3233 Sixteenth sireet, was clubbed on the head by a police officer, who thought he had thrown & reck at him. Heinrich states he was an innocent victim. John Rosenfeld & Sans and the R. Duns- muir Sons Company have decided to an- chor their vessels in the stream, have thé crews diseharge the same and keep the Vessels there until they are again loaded.

The executive com- mittee of the Labor Council and Grand Organizer J. D. Plerce of the American Federation of Labor were in attendance. After the situation bad beem thoroughly discussed it was decided that the members who were still employed should remain at work until they were locked out. The boxmakers are not on a strike, they say. They made no demands for mors ¥ or for sherter hours. Some wers dismissed because the teamsters’ strike prevented the shipment of lumber or of boxes. when made, but it is claimed that many of the boxmakers were locked out because of their union affiliations. In ail about 400 members of the umion are out of employment and five of the principal factories of the eity are closed. Hobbs, Wall & Co.'s factory is in operation and, is employing only twenty men. The other factories that are affeeted are the Na- tional, American, Commercial and the Pacific box factories.
