Marine Painters Ready to Go on Strike. RETAILERS MAKE EFFORTS TO BRING PEACE. controversy. delivered by a non-union teamster. A conference with Mayor Phelan, in which some of the local labor leaders urged their reasons for demanding the removal of President Newhall of the Board of Police Commissioners, and made a protest against the appointment of a large number of special police officers, was the most prominent event of the day in labor circles. Some forty-five tanners walked out, refusing to handle a load of goods The Marine Painters’ Union will jein the City Front Federation to- day, and its members will obey the order to strike. The retail merchants organized, and the Retail Gro- cers’ Association adopted resolutions demanding that the Employers’ Association take steps to end the But two steamers left the port yesterday, and the announcement was made by the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company that it would tie up its vessels at Portland until such time as the strike was set- tled. The peinters claim that they are making material gains and thai fourteen master painters have signed the new schedule. The day was remarkably free from any serious disturbances. I - FFORTS of organized labor are to be put forth to secure the re- moval of George A. Newhall, the president of the Board of Police Commissioners, who as president of the Chamber of Commerce signed the letter addressed by that body to the Mayor asking him to issue a proclama- tion that violence would not be permitted and to call upon the State officials for aid if that had no effect. A committee from the executive council of the San Francisco Labor Council called upon Mayor Phelan at his office in the ity Hall yesterday and had a long con- ference with him. W. H. Goff, president, and Ed Rosen- berg, secretary of the San Francisco La- bor Council; Michael Casey, president, and A. Furuseth, strike manager of the City Front Federation, and John F. H?r» per, president of the Sand Teamsters’ Un- ion, formed the committee. The spokes- man was A. Furuseth, who laid down in C. A. Slack, Fred C. Peterson, S. Simonson, M. C. Redden, M. Burke, L. O'Connor, . M. Beckman, W. Schilling, Nick Thill, C. Tiedemann, C. Hadeler and Willlam Zimmermann. - MUNICIPAL FEDERATION. Conciliatory Committee Membership Is Increased to 100. It is now the Municipal Federation of Improvement Clubs of San Francisco in- stead of the Federation of Improvement Clubs of Western San Francisco. A reso- lution to the ahove effect was adopted at the meeting held Sunday afternoon at 1605 Polk street, The new organization will be incorporated within thirty days. The next regular meeting will be held August 20 in- stead of to-day. For the purpose of broadening the scope of the organization it was decided to in- crease the concillatory committee from 10 to 100 members, and presiding Officer Joseph Rothschild yesterday made the fol- lowing appointments: George Alpers, Sullivan, a forcible manner thée reasons why or- ganized labor demanded of Mayor Phelan | the removal of Commissioner Newhall. | | All the other, members of the committee ' mann, H.

There was no lack of ready answers. No result was reached, | but at the conclusion Mayor Phelan in- | formed the members of the committee | that he would probably write a letter giv- ng his views upon the matter. He de-| ined, however, to outline what his views tee would be.

The executive committee of the Labor Council met last- night to consider the sit. uation, but as no reply had been received from Mayor Phelan it adjourned without taking definite action. | - - — | QUIET DAY ON THE FRONT. Steamer Eureka the Only Vessel to Leave the Harbor. But two vessels arrived in the harbor yesterday and two departed. The barken- tine Planter, from Honolulu, loaded with sugar, arrived yesterday morning, and the British bark Foyldale, in ballast from Peru, arrived about noon. The Planter | was anchored off the Refinery wharf | and the Foyldale made preparations to | The steamer Eureka, bound for the port | of that name, got away partly loaded with a cargo of general merchandise. She | also carried quite a few passengers. The Point Arena cleared last last night. Gangs of men were at work on the Olympia and the Oregonian at the Steuart-street dock, but little was accom- plished in unloading .them. The Achnashie and the Cymbaline, which arrived here a few days ago in ballast, were towed to Port Costa, where they will be loaded with wheat. The unloading of the colliers is still go- ing on, but all the vessels still have a | number of tons of coal in their bunkers. The collier Wellington is anchored in the stream, and the Asuncion is at Mission The cargo of the last named ves- sel is being transferred to the barge Comanche. At the Mail dock there was little evi- dence that a strike was on. A large num- ber of men are at work there unloading the Acapulco. The great quantity of freight which during the first few days of the strike accumulated on the wharf has all been removed and the Pacific Mail officials claim that in the future they will have no difficulty in handling their car- BoEs. The Argyle is at Fremont-street dock unloading. As soon as her freight is re- moved she will be brought around to Howard-street wharf, where she will be joaded for a return voyage. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company will tie up the steamers Colum- bie and Geo. W. Elder upon their arrival at_Portland. So much difficulty was en- cofintered in getting them ready to sail from here that the company will not try to send them out again until the strike is over. Pass Resolutions Demanding Whole- salers Confer With Strikers. At a meeting of the Retail Grocers’ As- sociation held last night at B'nai B'rith Hall a resolution was adopteddemanding that the wholesale dealers hold a confer- ence with the strikers and with the men who are locked out, the conference to be for the purpose of adjusting the existing trouble, which lgle lreui.llers claim is ab- solutely ruining business. The Retail Grocers’ Association has a membership of about 400, which includes the most prominent merchants engaged in the grocery business. It ia believed that their efforts will have considerable weight in influencing the Employers’ As- sociation to accept terms, The retail grocers do not intend to be alone in their appeal to the Employers’ Asgociation, but will. endeavor to have their demand backed up by other assocla- tions engaged in both wholesale and re- tail business. The Wholesale Grocers’ As- sociation, the commission men and the Wholesale Liquor Dealers’ Association will be asked to join in the move for peace. For the purpose of soliciting the ald of these associations the following committee was appointed: George Alpers, J. M. Sullivan, 1. Solomon, E. McCoy and P. A. Buckley. The resolution is as follows: Whereas, The present strike and lockout 1s decrcasing the purchasing power of the working people of San Francisco; and whereas, the diminution of trade consequent thereon i threatening the welfare of every retail mer- chant in this clty, be it Resolved, That the retall grocers of San Francisco,’ for the sake of the presérvation of their business and to prevent the commercial disaster that must surely follow a continuation of the present disturbance, hereby demand that the wholesalers of San Francisco arrange a conference with their striking and locked out employes, to the end that an immediate set- tlement of thefr difficulties shall be brought about.

The retail merchants of the city held a meeting last night in Native Sons’ Hall for the purpose of arranging, in concert with the Federated Improyement Clubs, some plan of action whereby the parties | to the present labor difficulty may be brought together with the object of set- tling the strike. There was an attendance of about 300, but of this number only about twenty-five were retail merchants. It was decided to appoint a committee of five to co-operate with the conciliatory committee of the Federated Improvement Clubs, W. J. Kenney, the chairman, will ap- point the committee to-day, and it is ex- pected that prompt action will be taken by the combined interests to bring peace out of the present turmoil. Kenney de- clared that the retail merchants of San Francisco, if they stood together and worked for peace, had it In_their power to bring the striké to a speedy close. The employers were suffering. he sald, and the employes were in even harder straits, but the real victim of the present struggle was the general community. The labor clement was largely repre- sented and many of the speeches were) hardly in keeping with the peaceful ob- ject of the meeting. Attorney Joseph Rothschild, who was present as chair- man of the federated conciliatory com- nittee, called a halt when the oratory bid fair to grow into a debate on the rei- ative rights of labor and capital. “I am here to-night,” he said, “as a peacemaker. Iam here with some of my confreres on the conciliatory committee to extend to you our support in bringing about an amicable settlement of the pres- ent condition of affairs. We represent the property owners of the city, we rep- resent merchants, bankers and many Dtg~ ers who are affected just as much as you are by this unfortunate strike. The time has now come for somebody to yleld. 1f we find that neither side is willing to re- cede from the present deadlock, then the Federated Improvement Clubs will do its best to make both sides yield enough to effect a settlement. We propose to go about our task in a dignified and peace- ful manner, however, and if you gentle- men wish to join with us on this basis we most gladly extend the hand of fel- lowship and promise to give you all the su_Fgorl at our command.” omas McKeon thought that if the strike continued thirty days longer over two-thirds of the retail dealers in the city _would have to go out of business. C. Barrington echoed Rothschild’'s sentiments as to the method of bringing about peace. A. Greensfelder, president of the Municipal League, told of the ef- forts that body had been making and pointed out some of the rocks on which their efforts had split. W. A. Cole of the Building Trades Council made a plea for unionism and L. H. Cohn spoke for peace. committee representing the retail merchants to be appointed to-day will be instructed to co-operate with the con- cillatory committee and report the result of its efforts at the next regular meeting of the retailers. i s 0 TWELFTH WEEK OF STRIKE. Machinists Receive Encouraging Re- ports From the East. Secretary Wisler of Machinists” Unifon No. 68 has recetved the following dispatch from President Thomas O'Connell of the International Association of Machinists regarding the condition of the machinists’ strike in the Eastern States: Every shop in San Antonio, Tex., slgned the regular nine-hour agreement. At Chicago the Challenge Machifle Company signed the regu- lar nine-hour agreement, both with increased wages. At Toronto the Northey Machine Com- pany made a settlement, signing a strictly union agreement. The J. Norton-Poole Com- pany of Wilmington, Del., vesterday signed on the nine-hour basis’ and the men returned to work this morning. This makes Wilmington, Del., a strictly nine-hour town. At Angonia, Conn., the Farrell Foundry and Machine Company, which is the strongest and richest concern in the New England States, and where we bad one of the worst fights of the strike, made a settlement on the basis of a fifty-five-hour week, fired “all the ‘‘scabs’’ and reinstated all the strikers. Also increased wages. At Sharon, Pa., the Sharon Steel Company and the National Steel Company made a_set- tlement, increasing the wages of the men fron. 2 cents to 50 cents per day on the basis of a —F fifty-seven-hour week, fired all the “scabs’” and reinstated all the’strikers. This is a very big gain for Sharon, for, as you are well aware, there are thousands of other employes employed in the mill besides the machinists. The statement made in circular No. 7, giving the number of firms, is a very fair barometer of the true situation, and I am safe in saying that at the present time we have secured the shorter work day for over 50,000 machinists and at least as many other working mechanics. While the situation regarding the iron- workers' strike in this city remains to all outward appearances unchanged, both President McCabe of the Iron Trades Council and Secretary Wisler said the out- look was most encouraging, as all the men were standing firm. ~ Yesterday mark- ed the commencement of the twelfth week of the strike, with no evidence of yielding on the part of the leading iron working establishments in this city. It is claimed by the latter that they are gradually fill- ing up their ranks with non-union men. R ity MONTANA UNIONS TO ASSIST. Moral and Financial Assistance Are Offered Local Unions. Some days ago the San Francisco Labor | Council placed a boycott on four firms in | this city said to be connected with the Employers’ Association, and asked that | all union men refuse to use any of their special brands of goods. A letter was re- | celved yesterday from the Western Labor | Union of Butte, which represents 125 un- ions in that State, reading as follows: BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 9, 1001, Mr. Ed Rosenberg, Becretary San Francisco Labor Counell, San Francisco, Cal.—My Dear | Sir and Brother: Your telegram of the Sth inst. just at hand, and I seize this as my earliest possible opportunity of assuring you of our hearty co-operation and vigorous and active support in your struggle in the interest of the wage earners and their liberties and rights in your city. We have absolute control bf this section of this country for the Western Labor Union and We assure you we will entirely ban the goods of the firms mentioned in your telegram. Your request in telegram will be strictly adhbered to and your wishes fully complied with. | Any further assistance we can be to you we | are at your command. { We hope to hear from you daily regarding | the situation in San Francisco and assure you of our active support and shall be delighted | to assist your organization flnancially.

WARN TEAMSTERS AWAY FROM SAN FRANCISCO Circulars Being Freely Distributed in Small Towns of Alameda i County. OAKLAND, Aug. 12.—Circulars have been distributed among the small towns throughout the county which read as follows: Notice—Teamsters keep away from San Fran- | cisco. Strike still on between the teamsters and employers, The inducements offered are fhkes. Keep away from San Francisco. BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS. Committees have been organized by the Alameda County Federated Trades with | Joseph B. Reboli of the Retail Clerks’ Union as chairman and C. A. Sinclair as | secretary to handle the arrangements for the celebration of Lahor day, September 2. The observance of the day will take the form of a great parade in which all of the affiliated unions will take part. The Building Trades Council will hold a picnic at Shell Mound Park on Labor day, with special exercises in the afternoon. The two celebrations will be arranged in order that all of the organizations of labor | shall have ample apportunity to take part | in each one. | A conference of labor leaders has been | held here to discuss the question of an independent labor ticket movement at th. next county election. The matter is quite embryotic, although the sentiment was in | favor of such a course. Among those who | took part in the meeting at labor head- | quarters were Charles D. Rogers, president of the Federation of Labor; Jo seph B. Reboll, P. B. Preble, M. O'Rourke | and Delegates Reed and Shannon of the | hi Carpenters’ Union. The situation up along the water front and among the teamsters is unchanged. et e L Trucks Blockade Car Tracks. Through his ignorance of how to prop- | erly handle a truck a non-union teamster | in the employ of McNab & Smith caused | a serious tie-up yesterday afternoon on | Fourth street. In irying to turn his truck, which' was loaded with galvanized iron, | from the tra¢k to allow a car to pass near Harrison street, the non-union man lodged the low bed of the vehicle fast | against:-the high grade in the middle of | the street. There it stuck, despite all ef- forts of the teamster to move, until fully a dozen cars were blockaded. An immense crowd of strikers and their thizers gathered about the truck, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the police kept them from taking a hand the proceedings. Finally with the assistance of several of the electric cars ‘the truck was forced out of its lodg- ing place, but not before part of the load of. vanized iron was removed. e same kind of a tie-up occurred on Third street, near Folsom, about 6 o’clock, when a great crowd of workers were on their way to their homes. A truck driven by a non-union teamster became stuck on the car track and for fully twenty min- utes the cars on the Third-street line were forced to suspend operations. fainlae Al Street Sweeping Go_eu Slowly. More of the first-class streets in the downtown districts were cleaned and sprinkled yesterday under the direction of the Bureau of Streets of the Board of Public Works. Gray Bros. had a large force of men at work, and the city fur- nished the teams and 'the sprinklers. On each was a placard, “‘Bureau of Streets, Board of Public Works."” Street Superintendent Thomas was un- able to give the exact' number of teams employed, but thought it might be thir- teen or fifteen. Some men who were en- gaged on Saturday went to the Corpora- tion. Yard in the morning and told the deputy in charge that they would not take out their teams to-day. As no other men could be immediately found to take their places, the teams were tied up for the day. BB G Painters Gain Demands. Little change is noticeable in the situ- ation regarding the strike of the painters, According to!P. H. McCarthy of the Bujlding Trades Council, who is directing the affair, the men are finding plenty of work ai the new schedule of wages, and nearly ‘two-thirds of the members are now © at ‘work, . From another source it was claimed that nine employing paint- ers had signed the new schedule yester- day ‘and five on Saturday, making four- teen in- all. Business, notwithstandi the strike, is said- to be brisk. Painters’ Union No. 78 had a well attended meet- ing last night at the Turk-street Temple and discussed the situation. The painters will' meet n-q-uu¥o to day at headquar- ters until the controversy is settled. WILL NOT HIRE EXTRA GOUNGEL City Attorney Must De- fend Water Rates Alone. SRR Gray Bros. Have Trouble Get- ting Pay for Street Sweeping. The Board of Supervisors yesterday indefinitely postponed a resolution which would have resulted in the appointment of outside counsel to help defend the suit of the Spring Valley Water Works against the city to determine the legality of the new water rates. The resolution was in- troduced by Reed and authorized the Ju- diciary Committee to confer with the Mayor and the City Attorney “for the purpose of making such recommendations as they saw fit in preparing a defense.” The City Attorney was directed to re- port the status of the litigation involving “Mission Plaza property.” The ordinance providing for the repav- ing of certain streets was amended to eliminate the proposed work on Spear street, between Mission and Market. The work of repaving will be prosecuted on Spear street from Howard to Mission; Stockton street from Union to Pacific, to cost §7530; Van Ness avenue from Pine to Bush streets, $5750; Clay street from San- some to Davis, $7466; Washington street from Sansome to Battery, $1997; Valencia street from Market to Eighteenth, $23,690, Braunhart objected to_a reduction of $155 on the bill of Gray Bros. for sweep- ing the streets on the ground that the reduction was not sufficient. Braunhart alleged that the streets were not properly swept and that the firm was violating the eight-hour law. The Mayor stated that he had received the report of the inspec- tor of street sweepings that the sweeping had been badly done in July because of the newness of the contract. The bills were referred to the Street Committee for further investigation. The resolution authorizing the Board of | Works to repave Pacific avenue from Franklin to Fillmore streets was defeated. Objection was made because the proposed pavement is of inferior character. An- other resolution directing the Board of ‘Works to repave the blocks with bitumen | on a concrete foundatfon and to assess the | cost to property owners was adopted. The Bay City Athletic Club was granted permission to hold an amateur boxing ex- hibition on August 22.

Thomas Spencer Brown, who was ar- rested some time ago in San Bernardino by Sheriff Rouse on suspicion of being tha man who robbed a dental office in Pu- mona, has established his innocence of any connection with the crime. Brown is a_machinist, who follows the business of harpening dental instruments. His unclc | was Minister of the Interior under the | late King Kalakaua of the Sandwich T. ands. He is well known in San Francisco | among the dental profession and his ar- | rest more than astonished his acquaint- | ances. His release on the ground of mis taken identity somewhat atoned for the blunder made by the officer who arrested | m. e Forty-Five Tanners Walk Out. A walkout of tanners occurred yester-] day morning in the tannery of Metten & Gebhard, on Trumbull street, near Mis- | sion. A truckload of raw hides was taken | to the tanmery by a non-union teamster escorted by 'a police officer. The men re- fused to unload the truck and immediate- 1y to the number of forty-five walked out. The employers themselves were com- pelled to do the work.

TACOMA, Aug. 12—A large party of Tanana Indians has arrived at Forty Mile on its semi-annual bartering expedi- tion. The natives have redeemed the promise made more than a year ago to | Agent Hall of the trading company at Forty Mile by bringing him a bag of samples of pure copper ore found in the hills of the Tanana country. They refuse to divulge the exact loca- tion of the ledges, but say that the cop- per is very plentiful. The specimens range in size from an ounce to pieces nearly as large as a man's hand. The location of the ledge is apparently known to but few members of the tribe, as the specimens brought to the trading posts are always in possession of their chief. Last year two prospectors followed the Indians to their homes, five suns distant from Forty Mile, but did not succeed in finding the ledges from which the copper was taken. Fatal Mine Explosion.

The mines are not working at present, owing to the dock strike at San Francisco. | SLOT MACHINE STIRS UP JAPANESE WRATH | Quarrel Over a Dollar Leads to a | Shooting Affray in San Pedro.
