HE first ray of sunshine to break through the gloom precipitated by the strike, indicating that the present situation is not absoluteiy hopeless, presented itself at noon yesterday, when M. F. Michael, counsel for the Employers’ Association,’ consent- ed to meet Joseph Rothschild of the com- mittee of one hundred of the Federation of Improvement Clubs. After'a long con- sultation the two attorneys separated un- der a mutual pledge exacted by Attorney Michael that the result of the conference would not be divulged under any circum- stances “until the matter under conside ation was in perfect shape to make pub- lic.” “I am not at liberty to say anything at this time,” said Attorney Rothschild after the meeting. “I will make the admission, however, that since my talk with Mr. Michael ¥ am more hopeful of an early settlement of the strike. Until a certain affair of importance has developed more fully neither Mr. Michael nor myself is privileged to discuss the, subject of our conference.” x s it probable that the Employers’ As- soclation wili_consent 1o appuint a com- mittee to confer with committees of the reueration of Improvement Clubs atd the strikers?”’ was asked. 1 think s0,” was the reply. When Attorney Michaer was asked if there was anytaing new reiative to the attitude of the association toward the | committee of one hundred he repiied in the negativ ‘The situation is just as it was three weeks ago,” he said. ‘:The Employers’ Association has expressed its views and there is nothing to add thereto.” “How about your consultation with §t- torney Kothschild at noon?” “I bave nothing to say, cisive answer. “Has any committee been appointed to discuss the situation with a committee from the Federation of Improvemenc Clubs?” ““Ihere has not.’ No Committee of Eight. During the afternoon there was a meet- ing of the executive committee of the as- sociation, as the following letter receivea by Attorney Rothschild at 6 o'clock indi- cates: was the de- SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16, 1901 Cxecutive Committee of One Hundred—Dear Sirs: 1 am instructed by the executive com- mittee of the Employers Association to ad- vise you that they have had under considera- tion your communication of August 14, and while they fully appreciate your good offices in the matter, they are of the opinion that the plan for a conference as suggested in your let- ter is ot under present conditions advisable. Vi truly yours, M. F. MICHAEL. This letter was read at the meeting of the committee of one hundred at 1605 Polk street 1 night. Chairman Rothschild told of what had been done by the com- mittee in the dnterest of peace, but he made no reference to his conference with Attorney Michael. Mr. Barnes said that the situation in view of Attorney Mich- ael’s letter did not require discussion. “We have learned something highly im- portant,” he said, “but it would not do to discuss it here. This meeting should never have been called. There was no discussion of any kind. Ex-United States Senator Charles Felton was in attendance, but the request of the chair for remarks from him was courte- declined. Mr. Felton saild he had to listen, and not to have others The meeting, after empow- ering the executive committee to act at its pleasure in matters affecting the set- tiement of the strike, then adjourned. Mr. Rothschild subsequently stated that the declination of the association to ap- point a committee had nothing to do with the secret project now under considera- tion. A similar statement was made by Dr. Salfield and other members of the committee. The strike leaders are confident that the of the Employers’ Association nning to yield to the tremendous pressure brought to bear against them by local merchants, whose business is suffer- on of the strike.

Any breach of the peace that has thus far taken place since the strike began has not come from us, but from the other side.

In one or two instances the mat- ter had been referred to the authorities, In concluding this statement President Shaffer said that he would always en- deavor to carry on this strike with per- fect regard for all laws. It had been | conspicuous for this reason thus far and the Amalgamated Association intended to show the people that the steel workers were perfectly capable of handling the contest. legally. STATEMENT BY TINWORKERS. Review of History of the Organiza- tion Is Made Public. PITTSBURG. Aug. 16.—A lengthy state- ment on behalf of the tin workers, made public to-day, reviews the history of the organization after the American Federa- tion of Labor conyention in Kansas City in 1898. President Shaffer conducted the formalities of its organization. The state- “Finding at that time that the interests of the tinhouse mem, were identical with the members of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation we solicited Shaffer to enter into a defensive alliance to strengthen the po- sition of both organizations in trades dis- putes. Shaffer objected. He told us ihat the Amalgamated Association stood for the observance of its contracts and that it could not enter into any defensive com- pact which would obligate the association to violate either the spirit or the letter of its signed agreements. He said he could only promise the ‘moral and financial’ aid provided in the laws of the American Fed- eration of &abor, for which he acted when he organized the tinhouse employes. We finally got our scale adopted without any assistance from the Amalgamated Asso- clation.” The statement closes with an assertion that one year ago the Amalgamated men refused aid in settling the scale and that at Connellsville and Cleveland the Amal- gamated men ‘aided the company in filling the places of striking tin plate workers. T L PREPARING A TRUMP CARD. Ehaffer Said to Have Called Out Duquesne Plant People. PITTSBURG, Aug. 16.—A dispatch from McKeesport says the strikers expect the Duquesne plant of the Carnegle Steel Company will be out in three days. They say it is organized and is waiting to co- operate with Homestead and Braddock mills and that this is the trump card President Shaffer has been holding. Trou- ble is expected if men are imported or any other men return to work, The tube welders published an an- nouncement to-day that they will join no union, but will remain out while the strike is on. Mayor Black refused permission to the Soclalist Labor party to hold a street me=ting. The Mayor also refused permis- sion to the strikers to hold a twenty- round fight between Jack McClelland and M. Donovan for the benefit of the strike fund. Thousand Girls Will Quit. NEW YORK, Aug. 16—It was an- nounced to-day at the headquarters of the Shirt Makers’ Union that 1000 girls: would be ordered to strike to-morrow. The union says this order is the first of many unless weges are raised. IRON TRADES COUNCIL MAKES ITS PROTEST HE Iron Trades Council adopted a resolution yester- day afternoon protesting em- phatically against the em- ploying of policemen as guards for non-union teamsters. The resolution is as follows: Whereas, Since organized labor and organized capital have been contending for certain principles, that each party in its wiedom deems of vital Import- ance to its existence and rights; and Whereas, organized labor on its part has made a peaceable fight and at all times has kept within the bounds of the laws of the country, simply exer- cising such rights and privileges as belong to any citizen at any and all times; and whereas, the employers on their part have utterly disregarded all laws, usurped the powers of the city government to the extent of demand- ing the use of the entire police force for their special and sole use as driv- ers of trucks, to create and promul- gate riots ubon the least pretext or opportunity, to obstruct the free use ©f public streets and thoroughtares and to shoot, club and Intimidate citi- zens and taxpayers; they have also openly violated the laws of the city charter by swearing in as police (spe- clal) men who are not citizens or tax- payers of the city, men who are ex- convicts and disorderly ~characters, Wwho are a menace to the peace and welfare of the city in general: and whereas, the Mayor and other city officials have violated their oaths of office in permitting these open vio- lations of the law and are wiilingly lending their official aid to assist a small wealthy combination of capital- ists to override and tyrannize every citizen of the city, be he or not inter- €sted In this controversy; therefore be it Resolved, By the machinists In regu- lar session assembled that we us & body of men 1700 strong and mostly veters of the city of San Francisco do hereby protest most emphatically azainst this usurpation of our rights and privileges as citizens: that we condemn the action taken by the city officials In their un-American discharge of their duties; and be it further Resolved, That we now and here- after pledge ourselves to vote for none but unicn men of unimpeachable In- tegrity and cbaracter to fill every of- fice in the gift of the people, who will discharge their duties for the protec- tion of the whole people.

The strikers say they are will- ing to talk the matter over with the em- ployvers, and that they will do their best to effect peace so long as unconditional surrender is not exacted from them. TR MYSTERIOUS CONFERENCE. Draymen and Striking Teamsters Have a Meeting. In line with the mysterious results of the conference yvesterday between M. F. Michael, attorney for the Employers’ As- sociation, and Joseph Rothschild, chair- man of the conciliation committee of the Federation of Improvement Clubs, there was a mysterious meeting held last night between certain of the striking teamsters a‘nd members of the Draymen’s Associa- tion. The fact of this conference became pub- lic, and various interested persons admit- ted that such a meeting was to be held. Joseph Rothschild said the meeting was in progress, but that it had nothing what- ever to do ‘with the results of his confer- ence with Mr. Michael. George Renner asserted later that no conference of any sort had been held, and Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the Sall- ors’ Union, said ‘that nothing whatever had occurred which made the prospect better for the settlement of the strike. Bl o S SOUTH PORTLAND DISCHARGING Gang Working One Hatch of the Tied-Up Collier. The only event of any importance con- nected with the strike on the water front vesterday was the placing of a gang of men at work on the South Portland at Chandler’'s bunkers, where she has beon tied up for more than a weel The work of discharging her was commenced at 2:3) p. m. on one hateh only, as encugh men could not be secured to form a full zang. The Czarina, also loaded with coal, tied up at Chandler's bunkers. It is ex- pected that the work of unloading hoth vessels will be accomplizsaed within the next few days. The collier Tellus is still at bunkers, discharging. The t be completed until to-morrow. A squad of ten policemen were on duty vesterday at Harrison-street wharfguard- ing the non-union men engaged in loading the steamer Argyll. The wharf is cov- ered with freight and the longshoremen were compelled to carry the Argyll's cargo outside the gates, thus placing them in danger of attack by the union hands hanging about the dock. Several attempts were made to reach the non-union hands, but the police were vigilant and prevented any violence. The steamship Peru, at Howard-street pter No. 3, will sail to-day. Her cargo was put aboard by the ship's crew. The Walla Walla will get out to-n:or- row morning. Little difficulty was met with in procuring men téunload her and put a return cargo aboard.

Knight on the charge of battery for hitting James Maddison, marine engineer, on the head with his clup last Monday on East street was continued before Judge Ca- A i baniss yesterday. For the defemse Po- licemen” T. J. Bailey, Georfi Meyer and H. J. Smith and Special Officers” J. E. ‘Wheaton and W. H. Waite testified to the crowd of strikers being on East street and to having seen Knight hit Maddison on the back with his club. Knight testified that Maddison was the only one in the crowd who did not move on and he hit him on the back and shoulder. Maddison grabbed hold of him and called him an offensive name. If his club had caused the wound on Maddison’s head it must have been by a glancing blow. The case was continued till this morning so that the physicians who attended Maddison could be present and testify. LEADING GROCERS CONFER. Employers Will Again Be Urged to Settle Strike. Another conference of the wholesale and retail grocers was held at 123 Californla street yesterday afternoon. There was a large attendance,” and President William Cluff of the Wholesale Grocers’ Assocla- tion presided. The matter of securing the consent of the Employers’ Assoclation to confer with the strikers with a view to effecting a settlement of the controversy was dis- cussed at some length. The wholesalers present said they would do all in their Power to bring about the desired result. The retail grocers agreed to interview the strike leaders and ascertain if they would not consent to some modification of their demands as sent to the Employ- ers’ Association. While no radical modi- ficatiors are to be expected, it was be- lieved by several speakers that both sides io the controversy could make conces- slons which would be satisfactory to all concerned. Agother meeting will be held, probably on Mcnday, at which a plan of campaign will be adopted. ot R * Relieved of His Star. J. B. Murtha, who was appointed a spe- clal policeman Tuesday night, was ves- terday relleved of his star and club by Captain Wittman. Murtha is a striking teamster. As soon as this fact became known orders were issued to erase his name from the list of specials. Twenty-three additional special officers were sworn in yesterday. They are as- principally to Curtin’s Detective John Twedale, who was given a spe- cal’s star Tuesday night, decided yester- day that he was better fitted for other work and handed in his resignation. His place will be filled to-day. The regular police officers who were taken off the wagons were yesterday as- sigred to duty along the principal streets scuth of Market. In order to avoid trouble if possible, Captain Wittman has stationed a police~ man at every corner from Market street to Bryant and from Third street to Sixth. Their instructions are to see that the non. upion drivers and the special officers ar Lot molested. As soon as a non-union driver appears with his team he is met by a policeman and escorted to the next block, where he is turned over to another officer. All along the street the methods are pursued until the driver reaches his destination and gets a receipt for his goods. By these means the police hope to prevent any attempt to injure the nen-union drivers while they are deliver- ing a load. —_——— Master Painters Are Firm. Manager Lytle of the Master Painters’ Assocfation stated yesterday that, despite the claims of the Building Trades Council, not a single member of the association had thus far conceded the demands of the journeymen painters. “‘Almost the entire list of painters,” he said, “that the Building Trades Council asserts have granted the demand of Painters’ Unfon No. 73 are not master painters, but merely journeymen painters who sometimes contract as master paint- They are not classified in the direc- as master painters.

OAKLAND, Aug. 16.—With non-union men James P. Taylor commenced this morning to discharge the steamer Wel- lington, carrying 2800 tons of coal from British Columbfa. 1In consequence, the union teamsters in*Tayior's employ were called out and the Stevedores’ Union or- dered its members not to work on the vessel. Taylor tried to induce the union to furnish him men upon an agreement not to sell the coal to any San Francisco dealers, but the union declined to accept, claiming that orders had been issued against handling the cargo of any vessel that entered the Golden Gate while the strike was unsettled in 8an Francisco. The coal merchant secured a crew of ten men, including a hoisting engineer. Of his ten teamsters one refused to strike, saying he would stay with the firm. The Taylor coal bunkers at the foot of Frank- lin street were visited by several hundred striking teamsters and 'longshoremen this morning, but there was no disturbance. A couple of policemen were on duty there, rs being given to keep the wharf and steamer clear of visitors. The local supply of redwood shingles is exhausted.
