Upon this showing and ‘the statement of Attorney Archie Campbell, who defended Dorney, that the latter was friendly to the Police Department, the charge was ignored. —_———— CHARGES AGAINST BROPHY. Strikers Say He Acts as Employing Agent. The labor leaders of the City Front Federation visited Captain Dunleavy ves- terday and complained of the actions of Sergeant Brophy of the harbor police. They stated that information had been given them to the effect that the sergeant had been acting as a sort of employing agent for the boss stevedores of the ‘water front and had used his best endeav- ors fo bring idle men to the front to take the places of the strikers. The leaders stated that the matter had been brought to their attention by people who had overheard the sergeant urging laborers to go to work as non-union men: Unless immediate action is taken and the sergeant prevented from interfering in the labor struggle the strikers say they will report the matter to the Police Com- missioners. The leaders also complained of the action of the police officers in driving the strikers away from their headquarters on East street. Captain Dunleavy, Sergeant Cook and two officers attacked the crowd congregated there yesterday and drove them all off the street. The two officers were stationed in front of the sallors headquarters after the men driven away and were given orders to keep the men from assembling there again. The two policemen were removed a few hours Jater at the request of Secretary Furuseth. who told that since the inception of the strike there | union teamsters. | to his home, —_— had been | Captain Dunieavy | Samuel Cole Receives a Wound That Will Probably Prove Fatal---Heniy Davis Un- der Arrest on Charge of Assault to Murder AMUEL COLE, a striking team- ster, was shot and probably fatal- ly wounded early yesterday morning by Henry Davis, a boyish driver, who, having lost | bis position at the Union Iron Works on account of the strike of the machinists was forced to take whatever work he | could get in order to support his aged father and mother.

He was _taken by the detectives to .the City Prison, where he was booked on the charge of as- He made the following statement: “I left home about ¢ o’clock this morn- ing to go to the barns at McAllister and Webster streets, When I got outside I | noticed five men who followed me across the street.

A. Worth, a drayman whose office is at 216 Market street, had just left his home and was standihg at the corner of New Montgomery stieet, awaiting the ap- proach of a Howard street car. One of the few witnesses to the encounter gave the following version of the shooting vesteraay afternoon. There were about five strikers in the party which attacked Davis. One of them approached Davis and after a very short conversation struck 'him a blow which felled him to the sidewalk. The com- panions of the man who started the fight then rushed to the attack. While Davis | was lying prostrate on the ground they proceeded to beat and kick him about the face and body. | Fires Into the Crowd. | After Davis’ face had been badly beat- | en he finally freed himself from the strik- | ers and ran into the middle of the street, | closely pursued by his assailants. When he reached the car track he drew a revoi- | ver and fired a shot in the direction of the strikers. No one fell. After firing the shot Davis ran across the street and into his house. ' The strikers disappeared from | the' vicinity of the shooting and no one for a moment suspected that Cole had | been shot Cole, the - wounded man, ran immedi- | | ately to his home and until he had| | reached his room scarcely knew that he had been shot. As soon as possible a | | physician was summoned. It was discov- | | ered that the bullet had entered the left had been no trouble of any sort at the headquarters and that his action was ill- ad . The secretary sald yesterday: “The men have their headquarters on East street and the poli 1o prevent them hanging around there. They have never created any trouble there, but on the contrary have been most quiet. If there is any violence it will be caused by the police trying to deprive the men of their rights.” - MANY PAINTERS ON STRIKE. Nearly a Thousand Are Said to Be Out. The statement of P. H. McCarthy, pre iGent of the Bullding Trades Council, thas less than 250 pairters are now on strike is declared by E. H. Black, president of the Master Painters’ Association, tosbe absurd. The additional contention of Mr, McCarthy that the striking painters had virtually won their fight and that there is mow no controversy between the jour- neymen painters and the association is characterized by Mr. Black as ridiculous, President Black-stated last night that nearly 1000 painters were out of work as the result of the union’s demands. Some- thing like 100 master painters are doing business in this city and of that number 90 per cent belong to the association. A few union painters have remained at work, the emplovers state, and some non- union men are working, but many shops have no peinters at all at work. Men Told to Xeep Away.

The wounded man declared | that when the shooting occurred he was | | standing near the sidewalk and almost | thirty feet from the man who shot him. | | The other members of the brotherhood | who took part in the affair also claim | that Davis was not subjected to any vio- lent treatment, but -that he was simply | requested to become one of the strikers, upon which he drew his revolver and fired | into the crowd. | A Second Beating. | When Henry Davis reached his home | and had the blood washed from his face he resolved to make another attempt to | reach his employer's stables, at the cor- | ner of Webster and McAllister streets, where his team -was awaiting him. He succeeded in getting aboard a Howard- | street car without being molested, but | | when the car arrived between Fourth and Fifth streets a crowd of strikers entered | and dragged Davis from the car. By that | time they had learned that the. shot | which had been fired by Davis had found | lodgment in the breast of one of their comrades, and in comsequence they showed no mercy to the boy. He was hurled to the ground and kicked and beaten_until the blood streamed from his { face. When he was finally rescued by the |polloe he was scarcely able to walk. He | was removed at once to his home, ‘When Cole's friends learned that his life was in danger they called at - police headquarters to get a warrant for Da- vis' arrest on the charge of assault to | scene in the afternoon. | mother, who are too old to support them- UNLOABING WHITE oAk Bars + +* = SCENE OF POSSIBLY FATAL SHOOTING WHICH OCCURRED YESTER- | DAY MORNING AT THE CORNER OF NEW MONTGOMERY AND | HOWARD STREETS, AND VIEWS ON THE WATER FRONT. o ¢ one.

With- out their son to aid and care for them they are left in an almost destitute con- dition. With tears in her eves th® mother told yesterday how her son had been led to take a position as a teamster. She said: “Up to the beginning of the ironworkers’ strike Henry was employéd at the’ Union Iron Works. When that strike took his work from him I told him that he would have to find work elsewhere, as he was. our only support. He looked everywhere, but could find nothing until Mr. Worth offered him a position as teamster a few days ago. When the shooting took place in the street he had only been gone from the house a_few minutes. He did not know that he had shot any one until the officer came for him this afternoon.’ It was at my advice that he tried to reach his work after he had been beaten.” The home of the wounded man was thronged all day with members of the brotherhood and neighbors who came to offer their sympathy. Cole is but 25 years of age. Before the strike was declared he was employed by the Overland Transfer Company and was considered one of its most efficient and consclentious employes. He also stood high in the estimation of his fellow members of the Brotherhood of Teamsters. He is the stepson of Daniel Cole, proprietor of a lvery stable on Third street. His own name fs really Schofleld, but he is generally known by his stepfather’s name. TEAMSTER USES REVOLVER. Strikers and Non-Union Driver In- dulge in Shooting Bee. The day began yesterday in the “‘dan- ger district” with a shooting bee which union teamster in the employ of Stetson & Renner. Watt resides in a rooming- house at 149% Fifth street. The strikers had been awaiting an opportunity for sev- eral days to convert him to the cause of the brotherhood. ~Yesterday morning when he was leaving his home he was met by a deputation of about 150 team- sters, one of whom started matters by hurling a brick at Watt. The brick miss- cd its intended target and passed through a nearby window. Following this Watt was struck by one of the ' teamsters and knocked down. When he got to his feet he drew his re- volver and fired two shots at the man who bad hurled the brick at him. Neither shot took effect. When Watt drew his revolver several of the strikers drew theirs and for a few minutes the air about the corner of Fifth and Mission streets was lively with flying lead. While Watt was standing in khis doorway two bullets lodged in the casement within a foot of him. A third passed dangerously near F. Hansen, a bartender, who was sweeping the sidewalk. It lodged in the wall near th;hsaloon door, e arrival of a_policeman caused the strikers to beat a hasty retreat. The po- liceman escorted Watt to Stetson & Ren- ner's stables. L. Maguire, a union teamster, and W. H. Smith, a colored non-union teamster, are neighbors on Stockton street. Mon- day night they began to talk about the strike. A fight resulted, and Smith al- leges that Maguire hit him on the head with a large rock. He had to be taken to the Receiving Hospital for treatment. Yesterday he swore out a warrant in Judge Cabaniss’ court for Maguire's ar- rest on the charge of assault with a dead- ly_weapon, Frank Farrell, a non-union_ teamster, was attacked by some men on Fell street, between Octavia and Laguna, Monday night about 8 o’clock and was cut in the face with a knife by one of them. Detec- tive Harry Reynolds was detailed on the case yesterday, but he was unable to find any clew to Farrell's assailants. James Coyne, an aged man, who has been driving his own teams for a number of years, was assaulted and badly beaten by striking teamsters on Sixth street yes- terday. Coyne had in no way known to himself offended against any of the strik- ers or their fight. He was going about his own business with his team when at- 'STRIKING TEAMSTER SHOT BY YOUNG NON-UNION DRIVER, WHO DEFENDS HIMSELF AGAINST FIERCE ATTACK OF MO tacked and beaten. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where Dr. McElroy treated his injuries, which consisted of several lacerated and contused wounds about the head and face. Charles Bredhoft, a non-union teamster employed by O’'Callaghan & Nelson and residing at 237 Hickory avenue, was at- tacked Monday night by seven ‘men who had lain in wait for him and was badly beaten. His assailants also brutally kick- ed his wife when she implored them to stop beating her husband. Tom Mulligan, a non-union machinist employed at the Risdon Iron Works, was knocked down and severely beaten by a number of union men shortly after noon at the corner of Main and Folsom streets. The following vessels are scheduled to sail Friday and Saturday: POLICE DISPERSE STRIKERS. Brannan street in the neighborhood of the Mail dock was the scene of a conflict last evening between strikers and the police that for a time promised serious results. That !t did not end in a fatality was due to the fact that the officers used their clubs only and that the strikers had no opportunity’ to make a concerted attack. The conflict was caused by an attack made by several of the strikers on a deaf mute, whom they mistook for a deaf mute who had been at work on the Mail dock. The mute was walking up Brannan street last night about 7 o’clock when he was stopg)ed by several union men. He could not answer their queries and they rroceeded to Leat him. The street was crowded at the time with strikers and it was feared that they would attempt to make a raid on the non-union men em- ployed on the Mail dock. Captains Ander- son and Wilson witnessed the attack on the unfortunate mute and tried to rescue the man. The crowd was too dense, how- ever, and they could not reach him. In the vlclnltf’ of the Mail dock are sev- eral private wires leading to the Hall of Justice, by means of which the police can be quickly summoned. One of these wires was in close proximity to the scene of the trouble and Captain Anderson pressed the button. Within a very few minutes Cap- tain Wittman and ten policemen arrived in a pagrol wagon. The officers jumped from the wagon with clubs in their hands and dashed into the mob, which numbered by this time fully 200 men. They struck right and left with their clubs and soon had the crowd breaking for cover. The strikers ran into the neighboring saloons, but the police follo them in and drove them out and con ied driving them until there was not n to be seen on the streets. Michael Doyle, one of the mob who persisted in remaining in the neighbor- hood, was arrested and charged with dis- turbing the peace. o UL BRI Cyclists Appoint a Committee. At a meeting of the San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade held last night it was decided to call a meeting of committees from the different retallers’ assoclations for the purpose of discussing what con- ciliatory measure can be taken in regard to settling the present industrial disturb- ances. The meeting will be held in the assembly room of the Parrott building to-morrow night. An invitation to repre- sentatives of other organizations to be present is extended. The committes from the C\{cla %ourd of Trade is as follows: President 1. Kenny, Joseph Holle, J. Eames, J.. W. Cornell, B. B. Horr and' N. S. Hatfleld. B PORTERS STATE THEIR CASE President O’Neill of Porters, Packers and Warehouse- men Explains the Issues N. O'NEILL, . president of the Porters’, Packers' and Ware- housemen’s - Union, has issued 9 the following statement: The employers in the mercantile district of this clty—and when I say employers I mean the wholesale dry goods merchants, the whole- sale iron and hardware firms, the wholesale grocers and produce men, the cereal mill own- ers and managers and the different warehous- ing firms—are, with but very few exceptions, paying comparatively low wages to their em- ployes, notwithstanding the fact that the work, to a great extent, is of an exacting nature and requires, in every instance, that the ap- plicant be fairly educated and possess a cer- tain amount of experienge. When the blg merchants of this city learned that there was such an organization as tbe Packers, Porters and Warehousemen in ex- istence, they lost no time in declaring the said organization to be a menace to their business. It is not the few extra dollars that they will be asked to pay to their underpaic help that they care about, but it is the fact that thelr employes are fully aware that they are not receiving a just wage, and the mer- chant does not like to admit that he is paying wages to his help that barely provides for the necessaries of Iife, and it is a fact that cannot be contradicted that many firms in this eity are paying very low wages. Low wages is the groove in which the mercantile employers of this, and of every other city, too, have been in for' the past ten years, and, being in a groove, and such a groove as it 1s, it is not to be wondered at that their progress has mnot kept pace with the times. It has ever been the policy of all employers to force men to work for them for little or nothing, and with, as stated above, some few exceptions the em- ploying element of this city are no exception to the general rule. Workingmen Were Asleep. So in the natural course of events there came a time when the men employed as pack- ers and porters and warehousemen awoke to their condition, for it will not be denied that the workingman has been asleep for a long time, and hence their organization. As is al- ready known, the big merchants of the city took a stand against the packers, porters and warehousemen some months ago and the Em- ployers' Assoclation was organized only after one of its foremost members—a member of the firm of Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden— had a brush with the union, because the above mentioned firm took it upon itself to cut tha wages of four union members employed there, The four men in question were reinstated at their old wage rate and the incident was closed for the time being, but from that date—last March—dates_the existence of the Employers' Association, organized to fight the Packers, Porters and Warehousemen in particular and all trades unions in general. The Employers’ Association, after being organized, lost no time in throwing itselt into the general labor up- heaval. It has interfered in the carrlage work- ers’ strike, the big hardware supply houses down town' refusing supplies to carriage manu- facturers who recognized the union, and it is safe to say that but for their interference the e workers would have had no trouble. The next move of the Employers’ Association was to prevent their own employes from join- ing the union. Several firms gave their em- ployes to understand that if they joined the tnion they (the firms) could not employ them any longer. W. W. Montague, on Market street, and Sachs Bros.. on Sansome street, gave thelr men the preference of the union or their job. The men remained with their work and from those two firms no men joined the unfon. The only reason that more firms did not follow their example was that about the time the employers organized the union had succeeded In getting nearly all the eligible em- ployes of the different bustness houses to join the unfon. Move Against the Unions. ‘The next step that the Employers’ Association took was to intimidate the Draymen's Assocla- tion, to disrupt the Brotherhood of Teamsters, using the argument that if the brotherhood was disrupted the Packers, Porters and Warehouse. men would also be disrupted and they then would turn their attention to other unions as they came along. When the situation grew critical, that is when the Draymen's Associn. tion, at the dictation of the Employers' Asso- clation, decided to take up Morton's fight against the Brotherhood of Teamsters, then the merchants who make up the “mployers” Association changed their tactics a little. They Tepresented to their employes that they wera being treated all right and that they should be satisfied with their situations under existing conditions. But while they were saying sweet things they were drawing up agreements for the men (o sign; these agreements practically making the men slaves, and in some cases the men wera humbugged' by thelr honeyed words Into sign: ing them. ‘ " Employers Submit Agreements.

Their owners tried every means In theirt power to send their ships to sea, but they could not get the cargoes aboard and were com- pelled to announce that mo departure would be made untjl to-day. A number of ships have sufficlent cargo in their hclds to warrant their sailing to- day, but in each case there will be great delay. A number of vessels that have arrived here since the Inception of the strike have succeeded In getting rid of their freight by going to icia and Redwood City to unload. The strikers were informed of this fact yesterday and steps were taken immediately to put 2 stop to the practice. The strike committee of the City Front Federation was hastily summoned, with the result that the strike order was changed so as to include these two bay ports. There was considerable work dome on the front yesterday by the non-union hands. The first vessel to be completely laden was the Oceanic Steamship Com- pany’s Australia and she will leave for Tabiti to-day at 10 a. m. The Mariposa, which is due to sail for Honolulu Satur- day, will be ready to leave on scheduls time. The stevedores who have been at work on the Australia commenced loading her yesterday afternmoon. Umatilla Still in Port. The Umatilla will not be able to start ‘on her trip north until Saturday. She was due to leave last Sunday, but the freight that she was to carry was handled so slowly that it was deemed advisable to hold her here until all the cargo was aboard. The Point Arena will leave to-day f Point Arena and the Eureka sailed terday. The loading of these two vessei3 has been accomplished under great diffi- culties and the owners feel that they ar: extremely fortunate in getting them awa at _this time. ti S The outh Portland arrived from Ta- coma yesterday morning. Her crew is composed entirely of Japanese. She went directly to the Green-street wharf, where her crew of Orientals will discharge h cargo. The c: of the South Portland is loud in his praises of his crew. He shipped them all at Tacoma, where he had so much trouble with the members of his old crew that he was compelled to discharge them. There are eighty men employed at Spear-street dock loading the Oregon Railway. and Navigation Company steamer Columbia. The dock is literal covered with freight and it will require two days’ hard labor to get it aboard. The Columbia was to have sailed last Satur- day. Loading the America Maru. The America Maru, which is being loaded at the Mail dock, will probab get away on time Saturday. Three hun- dred men are at work on the dock loading her and discharging the cargo from the City of Sydney. The latter vessel Is scheduled to leave for Panama and way ports Thursday, and though a large por- tion of her cargo is still on board her owners expect that there will be no delay in her departure. There are 1000 tons of freight on How- ard-street wharf awaiting the arrival of the Chilean mail steamer Aconcagua from Oakland, where she went to be coaled and to receive a load of wheat and heavy machinery. It is expected that she will be towed over from there this morning. The work of unloading the collier Tellus at the Dunsmuir bunkers is being accom- plished by two gangs of negroes. The owners are satisfied with the amount of work being_done. The ship Royalist is being coaled in the stream. She will leave for Portland as soon as her bunkers are fllled and load there with lumber for Taku, China. The steamer Enterprise, which has been tied up in Oakland Creek, was towed out yesterday and a force of men put to work loading her with a general cargo for Hilo. The British ship Achnashie will . be towed in a day or two to Port Costa. The work of relieving her of her cargo of tan- bark and most of her ballast was com- pleted yesterday. Captain Longmuyr says the Celtic name which his vessel bears means “home of peace,” and that in con- sequence he does not expect to have any trouble with his ship. The British ship Maxwell had no diffi- culty in procuring men to handle her cargo of coke. She had 1682 tons of the fuel aboard and landed it all at Oakland long wharf. She will take on a load of wheat for Europe. The colller Bristol is being raptdly un- loaded at the sugar refinery. ere has been no work done on the ships Czarina sndl Empire, which are also laden with coal. The last of the cargo of the W. Elder was taken out of her-yesterday. She will be tied up for several days, as the owners will make no attempt to load her. Occidental Gets a Crew. The schooner Occidental succeeded in getting a non-union crew at Sausalito yesterday morning and sailed for Bureka. There are 140 men at work on the ves- sels at the dock of the Pacific €oast Steamship Company. Lumber is_being discharged from the Empire on barges.
