One of the men attacked lost his weapon in the | early part of the melee and was later treated at the Receiving Hospital for a number of severe contusions. Robert Mann, Thomas Belway and C. 8. Bennett, who eame here a week ago from San Jose and went to work for’ Crt- ter, were proceeding homeward on a south-bound car of the Larkin and Ninth street branch of the Sutter Street Rail- way Company. Shortly after the car | passed the Mechanics’ Pavilion a brick was hurled at the car, landing on the seat of the dummy in close proximity to the three men. As the car slowed down prior to making the curve a number of men jumped on it and one of the crowd pointed out:th2 | three young men. | *Let's go for claimed. By this time the car had swung infto Ninth street and the three men, jumping off, rushed into a nearby restaurant and | were ordered out/by the man in charge while a still larger crowd gathered. -The three non-union men drew their pistols and proceeded out, but Bennett lost his weapon in the shuffle and was badly | treatea by the crowd. Mann and Belway discharged their pistols, firing three shots into the air, and ran in the direction of Market street. Officer P. T. Flynn was in.the imme- asate vicinity and placed Mann and Bel- way under arrest, while he went to the assistance of Bennett. . Other officers were quickly on the scene and dispersed the crowd. Bennett was taken to the Receiving 1y | Hospital, where it was found that hardly | an inch of his body had escaped either a kick or a blow from a fist or club. While the physicians were attending to wants of Bennett, his former companions | were taken to the City Hall station. | Mann was charged with carrying a con- | cealed weapon and a pistol and box of | cartridges were booked as evidence | against him. Belway was charged with | exhibiting a deadly weapon in a rude and threatening manner. 3 D. Butler and H. Hammerschidt, ‘who | claimed to be members of the Brother- hood of Teamsters, accompanied the par- ty to the City Prison, and insisted on | seeing that the men were charged, in | the meantime taunting them with oppro- er it | n- 0- them, fellows,” he ex- at y, | al | | K. | 0- yesterday for the arrest of “JolmDoe,” a e Watchman at Meiggs wharf, OF the | brious epithets. 1-1x J.

Danlel Maloney, a for- | mer teamster, at present driving a laun- dry wagon, claims that Harry Richards, a striking teamster, jumped on his wagon on Market street near Sixth and attempt- ed to pull him off. They were just about to mix things up when the police inter- fered and arrested both, charging them with disturbing the peace. Thomas McGuinniss, a marine fireman, armed himself with a large pistol and a a 1y er u itz, charging him He was, released on $10 | started down Folsom street, determined complaining witness is | to take the scalp of any non-union man he might find. Officer Ross cut his pere- grinations short before he had proceeded | very far along Folsom street on his waf; | to the water front. He was charged witl discharging firearms in the city limits and carrying concealed weapons. Richard Roberts, a non-union teamster, who- has been in the employ of Stude- baker Bros., was attacked by a crowd of men in a saloon at the corner of Third and Folsom streets last night and beaten into insensibility. He was en to the Emergency Hospital, where five scalp wounds were sewed up and a dozen con- | tusions about his head and face dressed.

The number of non-union men at work is increasing day by day, and it was pointed out at the meeting the number of those who are proving worthy of permanent employment is. constantly growing and the number of places left for old employes is decreasing in a like proportion. Less of violence was offered yesterday, partly on account of the rain in the evening, which drove both non-union men and strikers indoors. Doubtless also the appeals of the leaders and the warnings Unfon, Captain Lyman of the transport service, and others, had their effect in restraining those with riotous tendencles.

He was also placed under arrest by Officer McGowan and charged with drunkenness. A number of strikers attacked two of Curtin’s specials last night in the restau- rant at 20 Taylor street, which is a resort for union men. They ‘pulledthe speclal officers from the tables at which they sitting and dragged them to the door. The specials.managed to draw thelr re- volvers and, scattered the crowd by fir- ing several shots. They then ran up the street, where one of them was captiired by Police Officers Tillman and Matheson, while Officers Coleman and Perl caught the other. The specials, whose names are Frank Pedler and Percy Ashcroft, were charged at the Central station with discharging firearms inside the city lim- its. Ashcroft is the speclal officer who was attacked by the mab at Sixth and Harrison streets last Wednesday. kb il Low Bail for Strikers. Charles Shaw and James Cotter, the strikers who boarded a Kearny-street car between Broadway and Battery streets and attacked some non-union men, ap- peared before Judge Conlan yes charges of battery and disturbing = the peace. They cemanded a trial by jury and the cases were continued till Tues- day, to be.set. Attorney Joseph Coffey, who appeared ~as 1al - prosecutor, objected ‘to the defendants . being * at low bail of $ on each charge and insisted that it be.increased. The Judge declined to increase the amount. Coffey then asked if the de- fendants ‘were in court. Cotter was pres- ent, but Shaw did not answer to his name. Coffey asked that Shaw’s bail be forfeited, but the Judge refused to do so. e, however, issued a bench warrant for Shaw’s arrest, fixing his bail at $10, -— Teamster Guilty of Battery. F. C. Gaster, a striking teamster, was convicted of battery by Judge Cabaniss yesterday and ordered to appear for sen- tence Wednesday, his bail. meanwhile having been ralsed from $10 to $50. On the evening of July 25 H. J. Spring and Frank Holmes, teamsters employefi by Emmons & Co., were on their way home from the stables and on Tenth street, be- tween Folsom and Harrison streets, two men one of whom was the deferdant, attacked them. Spring was struck several times on the face before he succeeded in running away from his assailants. Holmes had given the alarm and Gaster ran into the arms of Policeman McGovern and he admitted to the officer that he had assaulted Spring. The case was so plain that the Judge said it was his duty to convict the defendant. % T g HE criticisms uttered by officers of the San Francisco Labor Coun- cil in relation to the threats of P. H. McCarthy and the Building Trades Council to establish a new Sand Teamsters' Unlon have drawn a re- ply from P. H. McCarthy. It is as fol- lows: In vesterday’s papers there was published an interview from Business Agent Hosenberg of the Labor Councll, in which he says, among other things: ‘‘This work on the part of the Building Trades Council cannot have much ef- fect upon conditions, and {s simply in line with other things that body has done; even if the Building Trades 'Council does organize a sand teamsters’ union it will be a flimsy gort of affair, for the International Drivers’ Association controls all the recognized unfon teamsters in the country.’’ Again he says: “‘Mr. McCarthy's movement is insignificant and so simple that it does not perturb us; this strike will go right on and e won despite anything he may be able to do." From the latter we may judge that M Rosenberg is impressed with the idea that he is the true and hard-worked friend of labor and the Building Trades Council people the sworn enemies of labor. In Line With His Every Act. This declaration is only in line with every act of the above-mentioned business agent (Mr. Rosenberg). His stock in trade in all matte: is made up largely of bluff, such as it was when he published to the world that an in- ternational union of painters, paper hangers and decorators had jofned the Labor Council for the purpose of showing that the building trades were in the Labor Council in large numbers, when in reality thers were only eighteen’ (13) members in the union which he took .in, and .their charter questioned by the local and national bodies of painters at that time, also many trades in buflding business, wherein he made o grand bluft and deceived the public. The Building Trades Council will set them right on all matters connected with the building business. Mr. Rosenberg has for some time endeavored to subordinate the Building Trades Council to any old thing that he may organize, but with no_ success. The Building Trades Counct] has done more in the past, i8 doing now and will in the fu- ture for honest, legitimate labor unions than anything Mr. Rosenberg or his colleagues, re- gardless of whom they may be, has ever done; and when he says the Bullding Trades Counci is working against honest, legitimate and straightforward union principles, carried on on a basis of equity, he says the thing that is not true, and he says it because he knows it to be such. Out of His Territory. The facts are Mr. Rosenberg has nothing in the world to do with the bullding industry, and, as such, is stepping into_territory over which he has po control. The Building Trades Councll has had nothing to do with the ar- rangements of this controversy, from the be. ginning to the present time—the sole manage- ment of the entire affair being vested in the hands of those affiliated with the Labor Coun- cil. Now Mr, Rosenberg would like to involve the building trades in the controversy, and to that end he orders out on strike the Sand Teamsters’ Union. He does this for the sole purpose of tying up the building industry and inflicting hardships on the several contractors and material men engaged in the building busi- ness, as also the men affillated with the Bulld- ing Trades Council, thus showing that he has allowed prejudice and passion to take the place of common sense and good judgment. This can very readily be seen from the following state- ment of facts: The contractors, sub-contractors and work- men_engaged in the different departments of the building indsutry have, if any, very little connection with the parties who are contest- ing the ground with the Water Front Federa- tion, and it Mr, Rosenberg and his colleagues were desirous of striking a blow at the afore- said he would have called out organizations which, it could at least be claimed, were close to the line of battle now waging. He calls out the sand teamsters, who were miles away from the seat of trouble, but allows to continue operations the hackmen who drive the employers of labor all over the city; the horseshoers, who shoe the horses formerly driven by the union teamsters; the milk drivers, the delivery wagon drivers and, last but not least, the union to which the president of the Labor Council be- longs. Saw Fit to Break Contract. From the foregoing any one with an eye to business can see why the sand teamsters have been called out, and-for that reason, if for no other, it is incumbent upon those men, as also those engaged in the building business, to see that the building industry must not, by any act ofs Mr. Rosenberg, be disturbed: Those sand teamsteks had a contract to carry on work for many months to come. Mr, Rosen- berg has seen fit to break that contract. This the Building Trades Council strenuously ob- jects to, and, to offset any future troubles of that kind, ‘will have under control of the Bullding Trades Council all men actually en- gaged in the building business. This may not be brought about in a day, but it is just as sure to_come as that the sun rises and sets. The Building Trades Council does not indulge in bluffs, and Is not going to allow the thou- sands of men_ affiliated with it, both as work- men, contractors and material men, to suffer for something the arrangements of which they have had nothing to do with, 1 have been quoted as saying that ‘‘those fellows,”” meaning those Who were out on strike, ‘were begging of us.” That is cer- tainly a mistake. What I did say was that national and international organizations were good, for two reasons, and save for those they were no good at all: First, 1f they could keep their men away from the seat of trouble, and, second. put up funds to support those in' trou- ble, This T found to work quite the other way with ourselves, and it would be the same with those boys; they would. like ourselves, have to depend on ‘local resources in order to carry on the fight to any extent, H. McCARTHY, P President Buflding Trades Council, L NEGOTIATIONS ARE OFF. Draymen’s Association Withdraws Its Offer to the Teamsters.

A number of the vessels that have been | ince the occupying berths at the wharves s 1nceppti0n of the strike completed lualdl:‘gl vesterday afternoon and the rest will = fo-day. Those that got out vesterday were the British steamer Imogen o;-‘ e- attle, Chilean steamer Palena for Valpa- Taiso, Asuncion for Seattle, American ship George Curtis for Honolulu and the barge Santa Paula for Ventura. The vessels that are ready to leave zin to-day are the Mariposa for Honoluly, City of Para for Port Los Angeles, Ore- gontan for New_ York via Honolulu, col- fier Titania for Nanaimo, British steamer Buckingham for Guayaquil via Noyo, British ship Arracan for Queenstown, and the American bark Coronado. TFhe vessels all carried full cargoes and were manned with non-union crews. The Imogen was one of the first vessels that joined the fleet at Port Costa and the Ar- racan is also from the upper bay‘( having been tied up there for three weeks. The Oregonian, which came here from New York the first week of the strike, with a general cargo, is ten days over the time set for her sailing. Two strikers were treated at the Harbor Hospital yesterday for injuries. They were A. I'Yelson of 19 Steuart street and Thomas Young of 408 Folsom street. Nelson had a scalp wound sewed up and Young had a lacerated nose stitched. They tried to administer a beating to a number of non- union men and got the worst of it.

The Pennsylvania Rallroad’s course in deciding to enter New York City by tun- nel, building a station or terminus at Her- ald Square, cannot be welcome to the other trunk lines. It will certainly equip the road for carrying many more passen- gers from New York westward and from the West:to that city, and the superiority of its service facilities will aid it in ob- taining business. Moreover, when it has constructed its loop around Brooklyn to Hell Gate and .the bridge contemplated there _connecting _with .the New York, New Haven and Hartford, it will invite passengers as well as freight from lower New England to its main line into the West. It may require some imagination to make the workability of all its New \York plans perfectly comprehensible, but the wealth and the excellent management of the road point to a time when the im- provements and extensions it is engaging upon will become obviously necessary and profitable features in the development of By and by, per- haps, it will be equally plain that the road’s {nvestment in great steel plants is a legitimate part of its enterprise and not imerely an anchor thrown to windward.— Providence Journal.

The oacteon portion was originally marked by stone monuments at equal distances of one mile. Many of these stones have been removed or destroyed. The western portion, owing to the great difficulty at that time in the Tegion traversed by the line, was marked by wooden posts, cut on the spot, and secured in place by mounds of earth or stone piled around them. These pos: have disappeared, but some of the mouhds remain. Many of them have been de- stroyed by cultivation of the ground, 1t is believed, though, that enough of them can be recovered to enable the relocation of the boundary with precision. The Pennsylvania Legislature has ap- propriated $7000 to reset and repair the boundary monuments, and the Maryland Legislature $5000. Dr.'W. C.
