THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 1901, MEDIATION IS DISCUSSED BY IMPROVEMENT CLUBS Rev. Dr. Rader Makes Plea From Pulpit for Settle- ment of the Strike and Condemns Coercion, i Whether by Employer or Employe. T a representaiive meeting of the Federation of Imy ment Clubs held vesterday afternoon at 1608 Polk street it wes determined that the federation should still continue the efforts which it has been meking to bring about an ustment of the present labor troubles. e n of ection will be pursued in & and more systematic manner, The meeting decided to increase the condlliatery eom- mittee from 10 to 100 members, in order that it might have more welght with the ¢ontending parties and that there might be a sufficlent number from which to &p- point sub-committees to more thoroughly investigate the status of the trouble. It was &lso suggested that the commitige should establish its headguerters in the central portion of the eity. The improvement clube of the olty wers well represented at the mgeting, and there were present delegates from the Retail Dealers’ Asgociation and from the labor unione. Although the meeting was called for the express purpose of formulating a plen for the seitlement of the present strike, the discussion assumed a broader 3 nd, and the subject of compulsory arbitration was considered. Willlam J. Kenny of the Cycle Board of Trade, who addressed the meeting, ad- voceted the formatoin of a retail deal- ers’ association for the purpose of ap- pealing to the Employers' Association from & more practical standpoint. In his ress Mr. Kenny said: % . ne retailers must come together in fight and show the employers that are the principal losers.

SAND TEAMSTERS FIRM. Will Not Permit Members to Do Street Work. There will be no reversal of the order {ssued by the Labor Council under which the sand teamsters joined the army of strikers. This was determined upon at a meeting of the Sand Teamsters' Union held at 1159 Mission street yesterday. The meeting was largely attended and was an enthusiastic one. The members discussed at length the efforts made by the con- tractors to secure the return to work of the teamsters employed in keeping the streets of the city clean, and when the question was put to a vote every member present voted to remain out. Constderable enthusiasm was aroused the appearance of Ed Rosenberg, sec- tary of the Labor Council. Rosenberg delivered an address, in which he informed the members of the Sand Teamsters' Unlon of the condition of the laboring men who walked out in support of the cause of labor, He discussed the situation at length and told the members of the union to stand fast, as the organizations which they were supporting out of sym- pathy were looking to them for a show of determination. A delegation from the Brotherhood of Teamsters attended the meeting and all the members of the delegation delivered addresses. At the close of the remarks of the visit- ing teamsters a member of the Brother- hood of Teamsters of Bacramento ad- dressed the meeting. He informed the strikers that their every move was watched by the members of the Sacra- mento union, and told them that every member of the union was in sympathy with them. He urged them to remain true to_union principles and to make every effort to win the battle now on. He assured them that the Sacramento team- sters stood ready to back them with financial aid. CAPTAIN GUTTMORSEN IS GAME. Master of Mary Winkleman Answers Patrol With Shotgun. The unlon pickets patrolling the bay in search of vessels supposed to have or to be waiting for non-union crews had a lively experience with Captain Guttmor- sen of the barkentine Mary Winkleman yesterday. The vessel had hardly got within the harbor when she was halled by the pickets, who patrolled the bay in whitehall boats. The hail was answered in true nautical style, and Captain Gutt- morsen shortened sail and awaited the ar- rival of the small boat alongside. “Have you a non-union crew?” was the first thing the captain heard when the lit- tle boat pulled vp close to his vessei. The captain was evidently nonplussed for a time and did not answer. The ques- tion was repeated, and this time the cap- tain evidently understood, for he turned and spcke hastily to one of the men s ding near him. The latter disap- peared for a moment, and when he reap- peared he had a shotgun in his hands. The captain took the gun from him, tak- ing good care that his movements were " in full view of the pickets. The ht of the zun convinced the pickets at non-unionism prevailed. informed the captain that thes 2lso armed and would not stand any Neither would the captain, who threw the gun to his shoulder and said: his is not a bluff. Get out quick, or I hoot. 5 ¥ inkleman docked a few hours later, her crew undisturbed. There was very little work done on the water front yesterday. The George W. Elder cleared for Portland and the Cura- cao got away on her voyage to Mexican ports. There was not a pound of freight handled on the Mail or Oceanic docks, and on the Oregon and Broadway docks only 2 few men were working. - Strikers Under Arrest. John Hasty, a colored teamster, em- ployed on the Pacific Mail dock, was at- tacked by about twenty strikers at Post and Kearny streets about 6 o'clock yes- terday morning. They knocked him down and kicked him on the face and body. Detective Hamill and two policemen hap- pened to be passing on a car and they jumped off and ran to Hasty's assistance. The strikers scattered, but two of them, Daniel Goodwin, a teamster, and Fred | Griffin, @ stevedore, were arrested and | booked at the City Prison on a charge of battery. C. Phillips, a colored barber, working at 143 Larkin street, arrived at the Emer- gency Hospital at 8 o'clock yesterday morning in charge of Officer Nolting and was treated by Dr. Bauer for several scalp wounds and other injuries about the head and face. Under both eyes were two deep cuts, looking as if a sharp instru- ment had been used. Philllps stated that he was attacked by a number of men on Fourth street at an early hour while on his way to his residence, at 243 Third street. Some one of the gang shouted out that he was a scab. At that he was struck from behind and knocked down and beaten. He could not identify any of |the men who beat him. After being treated he was taken away by his friends. FINANCIAL AID FOR STRIKERS. New York LaborOrganizations Pledge Eupport to Steel-Workers. NEW YORK, Aug. 1L—The Building Trades Council, the Housesmiths’ Union |and the Bridgemen’'s Union of this city, adopted resolutions last night pledging the moral and financial support of the or- ganizations to the steel workers. It was also decided to refuse to handle all prod- ucts of the United States Steel Corpora- tion which have been manufactured since the strike was declared. JOLIET, Ill., Aug. 11L.—Four local lodges of the Amalgamated Association, which includes the ekilled mechanics and work- men of the Illinois Steel Company plant in Joliet to-day discussed the strike at length and finally took a secret ballot on the %\xeflflon of !trfldl’lfi. ‘The ballot re- sulted in a decision to disregard President Bhaffer's order to strike. o = I bistinag AN Y st A A fi 'HEN buying a shot gun don’t throw away mon: - by spending $150 to $500 when for very mucl less you can buy 2 WINCHESTER REPEATING SHOT GUN which will outshoot any other shot gun on the market no matter what Shot Gun Is now it costs, The Winchester Repeating made in “Take Down” style in 12 and 16 gauge, It combines rapidity, reliability and strong ties with a rfl:c within reach of every- k, For sale by dealers everywhere, ¥ FREE—Bend name cnd address on postal oard for 164-page oatalogue, WINCHESTER REPEATING s BRMS £0,, £1842 Maret 2, | RARE MELODY FROM NOTED BANDS - TO GIVE PLEASURE TO VISITORS Committees of Native Sons at the Garden City Make Arrangements for a Great Musical Programme on Admission Day.

Captain McCalla upon arrival communi- catod with the insurgents and ascertained {hat the Spanish squadron was not in the harbor. ‘As Admiral Schley had been directed by Admiral Sampson to mask his real direc- tion upon departure, he waited until after Gark. “when he steamed for Santiago de Cuba. It will be contended by Rear Admiral Schley that he was justified in remaining at Cienfucgos untii he had definitely established whether the Spanish fieet was in that harbor, and that under instruc- tions given him he was required to obtain exact information before he gafled for Santiago de Cuba. To have left that point for Santiago when the Spaniards might have given out information showing that ervera's squadron was at that point as a ruse would have been, in his opinion, a grave error of judgment which might have irre- parable consequences. He is satisfled, ac- cording to his friends in Washington, that this explanation will convince the court of the correctness of his conduct and will se- cure his acquittal of the charge that he unnecessarily delayed his departure from uegos. e i viewithe Rgssibiltty of the ap- plication of Admiral W. T. Sampson for relief from duty as commandant of the Boston navy yard pending his retirement, the Navy partment officials have se- lected an officer for assignment to that duty. The admiral has been in delicate health for some time, and it would not surprise the officials here should he seek an early relief from duty. Thus far the admiral has made no request for rellef, The name of the officer selected to succeed him has not been announced. NBEW YORK, Aug. 11.—J. M. Wilson of ‘Washington, who will probably conduct the case of Admiral hley before the Court of Inquiry, arrived last evening on the American line steamship St. Louis. He sald: “I have received a cablegram from my dear friend Admiral Bchley in regard to his case, and it is more than probable that I shall conduct his case. I am golng to a hotel and after I have been there ant looked over matters I'll know more. Though I recelved a cable from the ad- miral, I did not hurry over on that ac- coun ‘Wilson was met on the pler by Captain Parker, who has been at the Navy De- partment looking over the records of the naval operations during the war with Spain In the Interest of Admiral Schley. THOUSANDS OF CHINESE DROWNED IN FLOODS Rivers Rise ‘.Bapmy and the Water Pours in on Towns and Farms. TACOMA, Aug. 11.—The steamship Iduz- mi Maru brings news from Hongkong of the drowning of thousands of Chinese ir the Kwangsi province by the sudden ris- ing of several rivers. The principal places affected are Wuchau, Takhing, Shiuhing and Samshul, The city of Fatshan is com- pletely inundated, People in all these towns have had terrible experiences. The water began rising on Friday four weeks _ago, and by Saturday the streets were fllled with from sixteen to twenty feet of water. Many embankments have glven away. Hundreds of persons were caught unawares and drowned before they had opportunity to escape in boats or reach the hills, afternoon and evening there will be sa- cred concerts' given at St. James and Vendome parks, In the parade of Monday there will be from ten to twenty bands, not to mention the many drum, bugle and fife corps. The grand ball will, of course, be the main social occasion of the festivities, and the music for the dance will' be the best that can be obtained. If the other features of the celebration are as well perfected as are the musical features this celebration will have reached that plane of successful entertainment that is seldom met with in the experience of the pleasure-seeker, The music committee of the Native L a2 3 2 e e e S e i il DEATH BY IRt HI5 PUNISHMENT Mob Burns Negro Pris- oner Near Scene of His Crime. SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 11.—Eighteen miles south of Savannah the charred trunk of the body of Joe Washington, the negro assailant of Mrs. J. J. Clark, is all that remains to tell the story of the tragedy of last night. Washington had been positively identified by Mrs. Clark. The proof of gullt was conclusive, A mob of 400 men clamored for his life, but the leaders of the mob, numbering less than a dozen, carried into execution the plans of vengeance they had formed. The rest of the mob was kept at a dls- tance and was not permitted to come within 100 yards of the stake. This was at a spot 600 yards from the Clark house. The negro, walked to his death without a tremor. He admitted als gullt of other crimes, but stubbornly refused to acknow- ledge that he had assaulted Mrs. Clark. A crowbar was driven into the earth, To this Washington was bound in a sitting position. his legs extending straight in ront of him on either side of the bar. A chain held him fast around the walst, while a heavy rope encircled the bar and his neck. The leaders of the mob asked Mrs. Clark to apply the torch to the pile, but she refused. Her husband was selected In her stead. Washington looked straight into the eyes of Clark as the latter stooped down to apply the match, The wood was D“Chflll‘le and saturated with kerosene oll. e flames leaped toward Washington’s body. The man showed no signs in his face of the agon: he must have suffered, and met deatl without a groan. The leaders of the mob watched the work of the flames until ‘Washington's head fell back upon his shoulders and he died. For some few minutes longer they waited around the spot and then dispersed quietly. The negroes of the country are almost a unit in npprovlng the punishment and many were members of the mob. REFUGEES ARE SUFFERING FROM MALIGNANT DISEASES BLOEMFONTEIN, Aug. 11—The 3000 refugees who arrived at Brandfort yes- terday are all in a wretched state of health. Diphtheria and other malignant diseases are so prevalent among them that additional ald has been sent to them. Physiclans are carrying supplies of anti-toxine for the diphtheria cases. Small numbers of Boers continue to surrender in the Orange River Colony. —_————— ‘Well, Did You Ever Need a dress sult case, traveling roll, trunk, valise, comb, brush, lap tablet, pocketbook, card case, bill book, camera or anything else in leather?

As the organ played the funeral march Dr. Dryander advanced to the head of the coffin. The cholr from the Berlin Cathedral sang “I Know That My Redeemer Liveth,” and Dr. Dryander a speclally written prayer, after ‘which Emperor Willlam’'s eldest four sons stepped forward with drawn swords and stood: close to the coffin. Dr. Dryander then delivered an oration extolling the virtues of the Dowager Empress and dwelling upon her trials and sorrows. ‘This was followed by the words of the burial service: “Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.” The choir then sang the anthem, “The They May Rest From Their Then followed the ma, !flt:enQx hymn, “Wenn Ich Binmal Soll Sche and a beautiful rendition of “Be Faithful Unto Death.” hou As the last strains died aw!

Special Dispatch to The Call. \ Y MARCONI WIRELESS TELE- GRAPHY FROM ON BOARD THH, LUCANIA, via Crook- haven, Aug. 11.—A flood of bril- - lant sunshine bathes the emer- ald shores this morning as the Lucania stands out to sea on her ninety-fifth voyage. But on this trip the Lucania is not out of touch with the world's news. All this time, thanks eo wireless teles- raphy, we are still in touch with the cld world, though its shores are now hardly visible. Thanks to the same system and the Herald’s energy and enterprise, we will be in communicatiop with the new world fourteen hours sooner than usual. This practically cuts twenty-four hours off the time in which ships disappear from the knowledge of those on land. Many passengers sent wireless messages (o friends. There is some humor in wireless teleg- raphy. One Englishman, with a pro- nounced accent asked the genial purser how much it cost to send a message. “Six pencé a word in addition to land rates,” he answered. “That's rather expensive,” sald the passenger, ‘“seeing the company is not obliged to erect any posts or wires or lay cables.” Passengers are full of talk of the open= ing of the Herald's Nantucket station and are delighted to be able to communicate with friends hours before it has ever been possible before. ‘Wimmial Muloch, Postmaster General of Canada, is on board and is greatly inter< ested in wireless telegraphy. “1 admire the Herald's enterprise,” said he. “I think wireless telegraphy will prove of tremendous value to commerce. Canada is determined to utilize its advant- ages on the entire coast and the bay and the river of St. Lawrence. “In case of steamships that are disabled, when equipped with wireless telegraphy, | they would soon be able to bring assist- ance. Then on the dangerous coasts the system would be valuable to warn away | ships coming too close to destruction.” | This message is transmitted a distance | of sixty miles to the station.

It was said that they were counting upon strong aid from the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and other organi- zations of union labor, but those bodies have not yet given any public indication of what they will do. The Amalgamated Association has de- veloped great strength in the Wheeling district and has made gains in some Penn- sylvania districts, but it will be to-mor- row before the lines of cleavage will be marked with sufficient clearness for a count of the men. The strike headquarters were closed to- day, and it was claimed that no reports were being received from the outlying dis- tricts as to the progress of the strike ex- cept in a general way. The steel officials were in communication with their superintendents and district managers and at 11 o’clock made public the results of their report. The latter showed that South Chicago, Joliet and Bay View, at Milwaukee, had voted to stay in: that the Ohlo works of the Na- tional Steel Company at Yeungstown and the King, Gilbert and Warner plants of the National Steel Company at Columbus had resumed without trouble: that the Homestead, Edgar Thompson. Duquesne, Upper and Lower Union and Howard Axie Works of the Carnegie group, employing more than 15,000 men, had resumed work without trouble: that the converting and blooming mills of the National Tube Com- pany at McKeesport had started without difficulty and that Bellaire had been only partly crippled. They were also advised that the men of the Boston Rolling Mills at McKeesport had notified the National Tube C that while the National Tube plant at Me- Keesport would be started in the mern- ing, it was certain that many men would go out. They were also satisfied that their Wheeling plants were crippled and that it was undecided what would be done there. Their advices were that the Clark mill here, which had been running non-union for several days, would be started up as usual to-morrow mo: . and that there Srasiuo: doubt abaat it mHocemstul: opea: lons. The steel officials were elated at their showing at the Carnegie plants and in II- linois. Ohio and Wisconsin and expressed confidence in speedy victory over the Amalgamated Association. National Vice President Walter Larkins of the Amalgamated Association, discuss- ing the situation in Wheeling district to- night, said: - At the Riverside plant of the National Tube Company the plate and tube mills will be off Monday morning and possibly the steel depart- ments.” Already we have taken into member- ship in the Amalgamated Assoctation 650 of the 800 skilled men at the Riverside and the re- maining 150 workers in the steel departments have asked us to call a meeting at which they may organize a lodge. This request has been granted and the meeting will be held Monday morning. At this afternoon’s meeting of the Riverside men we took in 109 new members from the tube and plate departments. We have succeeded in tieing up the Bellaire steel plant of the National Steel Company. We organized %0. of the steel men Saturday and at a meeting this afterncon there were more accessions, though I have not received the exact number. But even without a single ac- cession this afternoon we have enough to keep the plant idle. The La Belie plant of the American Tin Company is closed tight, as are the Standard mills of the American Sheet Steel and the American Hoop companies. The Mingo Junc- tion plants of the National Steel and the American Steel Hoop companies are also closed. We are arranging for a great strikers' rally to be held at the West Virginia State Fair grounds in_ Wheeling next Wednesday or Thursday. President Shaffer will be the prin- cipal orator. At the meeting of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly this after- noon, resolutions were passed denouncing Andrew Carnegie. and calling upon the laber people of Wheeling to vote against the acceptance of the $§75,000 library he has offered Wheeling. Secretary Williams gave out the follow- ing interview to-night: We agreed to arbitration because the busi- ness men and citizens of Pittsburs urwed us to do so. We were willing to risk the inter- ests of our organization in the hands of others in this dispute if there was any prospeet for peace. It is practically the first time n the history of our organization that we have gone this far. The effect upon the future will be far reaching, es it would enable manufactur- ars to obtain the same concession from us, and this we have in the past declined to grant because we feared the results. Thus arbitra- tion being turned down flat and uncondition- ally, those who have been urging us to sub- mit to it will have a chance to prove their interest and friendship for us in our inevitable Dbattle with the greatest trust that was ever n Arbitration Is what the manufacturers have been asking from us for years. It apens a new phase entirely in the situation. It the manufacturers think they can stamp out our organization they are laboring under a great mistake. I they should defeat us now, it Would only cause a mnew and stronger labor organization to rise up within a few ye that would have graver meaning in it. United States steel trust is wise, it will deal with us. It Is to their interest to do so. Men fn this country will never submit to being obliterated. _Further than this, I can say that the men who come out on a strike at this time will not be the last to come out before this fight is over. There will be thousands that will be drawn into the le, as the organizations of the entirs country are vitally inferested in the fight we are making. Our position has been fair at all times.

The officers of the Amalgamated Association had done all they could to bring about peace. The battle was now in the hands of the men, and it wal up to them as to what the outcome would be. Every labor organization in the country was with the Amalgamated Association In this strike. The Federation of Labor had taken steps to ald in the fight to the full extent .. The Knights of Labor, re] resented by President Simon Burns of L. A. 300, had come forward with money and encouragement. That portion of the same body under Master Workman Parsons bad instituted legal proceedings in Ohio and Indiana to prosecute the trust on legal grounds, WILL REMAIN AT WORK. Members of Amalgamated Associa- tion Will Disobey Strike Order. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 11.—The Bay View lodge of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Bteel and Tin Workers to-day de- cided by a unanimous vote not to obey the strike order of President Shaffer, and in econsequence the plant of the Illinois Bteel Company in this city will be run- ning as usual to-morrow, Beveral speak- ers pointed out that a strike at this tim would be of no advantage to the Amalga- mated Association and would do no harm to the United States Steel Corporation, inasmuch as the trust is prepared at short | notice to transfer all the work of South “hicago, Bay View and Joliet mills to its | plant at Duquesne, which can be convert- mt! lintu a plant for the making of bar eel. The members of the Bay View lodge will contribute liberally to the strikers in the Eas st. CHICAGO, Aug. 1..—There will be no strike by members of the Amalgamated Association at the Illinols Steel Works in South Chicago. At a joint meeting of the local ladges this afternoon, presided over by a representative of Vice President Da- vis of the fourth district, it was decided | by an almost unanimous’ vote to remain | at work, and If necessary to give financial support to their striking brothers in other | mills. In a statement to the public defining their position the men claim that in_jus- | tice to themselves and the Iilinois Steel | Company they are compelled to disregard the order of President Shaffer, as they | have no grievances and have contracts | that will not expire for another year. | _Vice President Davis was present at the | meeting. but took no active part in the proceedings. gl o TWO MILLIONS INTERESTED.

United States Steel Corporation Will Be Sued by State of Ohio. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 11.—It develops that independent of the legal action which is“to be brought against the United States Steel Corporation by the Anti-Trust League action is also contemplated by the Secretary of State. It is believed by that official that the United States Steel Cor- poration is doing business in Ohlo con-~ trary to law. The corporation has never been admitted as a foreign corporation to do busines in Ohio, although the prop~ erty controlled by it in this State is rep- resented by several million dollars’ worth of stock, upon which, if the Ohio compa- nies have really been absorbed, the State is entitled to collect a tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent under what is known as the Hard law, the constitutionality of which was recently sustained by the Supreme Court. It is stated by Clerk Wread of the Secretary of State’s office that notices will probably be sent to the steel corporation during the coming week calling attention to its obligations under the law, should the plea be made that the Ohio companies have not been absorbed and are operatin, under their original charters, the Unit: States Steel Corporation will be attacked under the Valentine anti-trust law, which rohibits the operation of companies olding the stocks of other companies in Chinese Perish in Flames.

One of the coolie attendants dropped a lightéd candl which ignited some oily waste, causing quick fire, which suffocated the Chinese before they could get out. - Are You Interested in the Condition of Youp TEETH?
