THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESPAY, SEPTEMBER 4, -1901. SUPERVISORS PASS THE LIE WHILE DEBATING THE STRIKE QUESTION Pacific Coast Steamship Company Sues the Marine Firemen’s and the Sailors’ Unions for Breach of Contract---The Work of the Steve- dores Over at Port Costa Is Now Being Done Partly by Machinery HE strike situation following the great labor demonstration showed little change yesterday. The most important development was the filing of suit by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company against tbe Marine Firemen’s Union and the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific to recov- er $25,000 damages for breach of contract entered into in May last. The proceedings of the Board of Supervisors were enlivened during the discussion of strike measures by Brandenstein, who designated as lies certain statements made by Reed. Electrical labor-saving ma- chinery to take the places of striking stevedores has been installed at Port Costa with signal success. - HE session of the Board of Super- visors was enlivened yesterday by Brandenstein branding as a delib- erate falsehood the made by Reed that the Con tion Committee appointed by the ooard for the purpose of attempting to effect a settlement of the strike was actuated by political motives. The bcard had a prolonged discussion cn several resolutions appertaining to the etrike situation, and Reed in a slurring way bad repeatedly charged that politics was the sole consideration of the commit- tee In its attempt to bring about a set- tiement. Sypervisor Curtis took~ excep- tion to Reed's remarks during the early part of the session, out it was left to Brandepstein to administer a wordy cas- tigation to Reed, whose remarks he char- ecterized as insulting and uncalled for.

He resented the charge that politics had anything to do with the ing that it was too sacred to political effect, STRIKE CASES IN COURT. Arraignment of Non-Union Men and Strikers Before Judges. Thomas McGinnis, a union fireman, who arrived last week on the steamer Valencia, was attacked Sunday night by a gang of men on Second street. He drew 1is revolver and ‘fired. He was arrested for discharging firearms within ‘the city limits and gave bail for his appearance in court. Almost at the same spot he was again attacked and-robbed.

He accused of assaulting Fritz Hock, 707 i ST to Pib. m. The case was called in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday, and after hearing the testimony of Hock and the arresting officer the Judge expressed # doubt as to the charge being sustained and instructed Hock to swear to a com- plaint charging Magnesson with battery, which was done, and the case continued till this morning. Hock was taken to the Recefving Hospital.

He attempted to prove an alibi to the effect that he was at the teamsters’ headquarters at the time, but | failed. 8 Robert Mann and Thomas Behway, non- union teamsters, employved by Cutter & Co., who were arrested Saturday night, | appeared before Judge Cabani: ester- day. Mann was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and *Behway with ex- hibiting a deadly weapon in a rude and threatening manner. They were pulled off a Valencia street car by a number of strikers at Ninth and Market streets and beaten. The Judse dismissed the cases, and the defendants’ employer promised to obtain permits for them to carry revolv- | ers. Chris Murphy and Phil Walsh, striking teamsters, charged with false imprison- ment by forcibly detaining four sallors from the steam schooner North Fork at the teamsters’ headquarters, demanded a trial by jury when their cases were called in Judge Conlan's court yesterday. The cases were continued until September 14. The complaining witnesses have gone on a vessel to Eureka and ne complaints are yet on file. Attorney H. H. McCloskey has been making_ strenuous efforts to get either Judge Cabaniss or Judge Fritz to issue a warrant for the arrest of Policeman Ly- cette on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the riot_ at | Folsom and Steuart streets last Thursday afternoon. Some of the rioters ran Mto Julius Larsen's saloon, at 249 Steuart street, and Lycette and went after them, but Larsen shut the door in their faces. They forceu the doors open and Larsen was clubbed on the head. - Yesterday McCloskey made another ap- plication before Judge Fritz and wanted the sworn testimony of six witnesses | taken, after which he would formally move that the warran. be issued. Judge fixed to-morrow morning at 11 | o’'clock as the time for hearing the evi- dence, o e e ATTITUDE OF MERCHANTS. Matter of Strike. The Merchants’ Association -addressed the following communication to its mem- bers yesterday, defining the attitude of that body relative to the strike: SAN FRA! CO, Sept. 2, 1%0L—To the Members of the Merchants' Assoclation—Gen- tiemen: In view of the disorganized conditionm of trade affairs in the city at the present time the board of directors submits the following statement of its attitude upon the question: | *'During the seven vears existence of the | Merchants’ Association the scope and utility of its work have been clearly developed and defined. It was organized chiefly to aid in the line of municipal advancement and reform. It was intended to occupy a fleld entirely its own, and it bas ever sought to avoid taking | up any work which was covered by any other organization, or to do anything which could possibly serve to weaken its power in its own | peculiar fleld. "As @ consequence your board of directors has conscientiously refrained from taking any ac- tive part in the present industrial complica- tions. They are firmly convinced that this | policy was well advised. With a nfembership of nearly thirteen hundred firms, comprising al1 ‘classes of business in the community and not unlikely holding opinions on both sides of the great question before the public, they be- lieved that any action on the part of this as- sociation would only create partisan feeling and jeopardize its future usefulness. Your board of directors has never falled to appreciate the solemn duty of all good citizens to endeavor to preserve and restore industrial peace and prosperity. They assure you that, within the province of the constitution of the association, your board of directors has ex- erted its best wisdom and its utmost energy and power to protect the fair name of our city and they will neglect no opportunity for use- fulness where their services may seem to be of value in the bringing about of an early un- derstanding between the factors of this present unfortunate controversy. Sincerely yours, BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MER- CHANTS' ABSSOCIATION, 0. D_ Baldwin, C. 8. Benedlct, Bundschu, Foster P. Cole, Andrew M. W. J. Dutton, Marshal Hale, A. J. McNicoll, W. J.

David Linden Files Serious Charge Against Sailors’ Union Officials. David Linden, a sailor llving at 179 Fourth street, filed a serlous charge against the Sailors’ Unlon officials yester- day. He accuses them of being implicat- ed in the loss of his bag cantaining his | clothing and $640 in coin. He will to-day swear out warrants for the arrest of sev- eral men whom he holds responsible for | his loss. Linden was a sallor on the bark High- land Light. She was lying in the stream in the early mornfhg of last’ Thursday, | when a boat contalning several strikers hailed the vessel. Some of the men came {aboard and Linden and another _sailor were forced to leave the vessel. Linden took his bag, containing the clothing and money, with him. They _were rowed | ashore and taken to the Sallors’ Union | Hall. There they were detained for about | an hour, when Linden was taken out, so His bag contaln- kept by Charles Dav he alleges, and beaten. ing the clothing and money was the strikers. Linden made a complaint to Captaln Dunleavy of the harbor police, who sent for Andrew Furuseth, president of the Sailors’ Union,g but ~ Furuseth denied knowing anythifig about Linden or his | bag. Corflorul Egan was detailed on the case and he interrogated a number of the members of the union, but could get no satisfactory information. Linden called upon Captain Seymour vesterday and laid the matter before him and urged him to recover his bag ana money. _ Captain Seymour advised him to swear out warrants to-day for the arrest | of the men whom he ‘considers responsi- | ble for his loss. This he agreed to do. SHIPPERS USE MACHINES. | Electrical Appliances Take Places of Strikers at Port Costa. The introduction of labor-saving ma- chinery on an extensive scale promises to be one of the most important results of the present strike. Eppinger & Co. have already at Port Costa substituted electricity for longshoremen. Every other firm in the city dependent for the carrying on of its business upon labor, skilled or otherwise, is searchimgethe field for devices which will do away to the greatest possible extent with the neces- | sity for laborers. The longer the present trouble continues the greater the induce- ments which will be offered to inventive genius. While the Epglnter electric elevator lant has been but recently installed an as not been working long enough to make any record for the purpose of com- parison, the Eppinger people seem quite satisfied with the arrangement. Herman other officers | The | 1 | Eppinger said yesterday that it was too | soon as yet to say very much about his new automatic longshoreman. It cost him a lot of money, he said, and he ex- pected it to do a lot of work in return. This latest labor-saving machinery will not do away with the laborer altogether. In fact, it will give employment to quite a number while 1t is in action, but where loading ships formerly took days the op- eration under the new arrangement will only be a _matter of hours. George W. McNear said that while he had as yet introduced no new machinery to expedite the loading of ships at Port Costa, he as well as others who are now compelled to employ large numbers or laborers was on the lookout for some such contrivance. ‘‘Strikes put a premium on inventive genius,” he said, ‘‘and under present conditions there is not an em- ployer of labor in America who would not Jjump at the opportunity to substitute ma- chinery for manual labor.” SHIPPING IS ACTIVE. | Many Vessels Are Discharging and Receiving Cargoes. The two days' holiday given the non- union men employed on the front enabled them to perform a heavy day’s work yes- terday. Several ships were relieved of a large portion o: their cargoes and many vessels had a great quantity of freight put aboard. The work of discharging the collier Pleiades is so far advanced that she will be able to leave to-day for the north. The | Hongkong Maru, which has been loading | at the Mail dock for the last few days, | will start to-day, as will also the Walla Walla. The Ventura will be taken to the refinery wharf to-day. where her load of sugar will be taken out. ‘he crew of the Haddon Hall, which has been tied up here for three weeks, commenced discharging that vessel yes- | terday. Work was also commenced on the | Belgian King, at Lombard-street wharf. | The grain with which she is laden is be- | ing discharged into the Santa Cruz. The Corona is discharging at the seawall. Machinists Return to Work. The management of the Union Iron Works was jubilant yesterday over the return of two machinists who walked out with the main body of strikers in May ast. The machinists, with two union molders, formed a part of a force of thirty-two men who went to work in the shops” yesterday morning. Thesé are the first striking union ma- chinists to return to work since the strike | began, and the Union Iron Works people are confident their example will soon be followed by others. The situation is re- garded by the Scotts as being very hope- | ful, and they express the bellef that im- portant developments among the striking machinists may be looked for within the next few day: | . The officers of the Iron Trades Council deny that any union machinists have re- turned to the works. They aver that the strikers are standing firm, and that there will be no developments as far as they are concerned until the iron works people give up the fight. Wittman Pushes Battery Case. Police Captain George Wittman filed a petition for a writ of prohibition with the Supreme Court vesterday to prevent the Sheriff from impaneling a jury for the trial in which the captain must answer to a charge of battery on James Masse, a marine fireman. It is the intention of the defendant to have the case tried di- rectly by the Supreme Court, where it would ultimately go in the event of vie- tory for either party to the contest in the lower courts. Policeman F. Callahan, who was fired upon by a number of strikers at Second and Brannan streets Sunday afternoon, swore to three complaints in Judge Fritz's | court yesterday for the arrest of three of the strikers on a charge of assault to murder. Thelr names are John Hogan, James McKeever and Thomas Brady. - Armed Stevedore Axrested. E. M. Thomas, a colored stevedore, em- ploved for the past five weeks on the army transport dock, was last night arrested in a restaurant at the corner of Pacific and Kearny streets and locked up on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Thomas, who was eating _in the restaurant, was pointed out to Policeman Holmes and Speclal Officer’ Doggett by Some union stevedores. Thomas, who is said to be a quiet, inoffensive and industrious man, says that he was pointed out by strikers who wanted to ‘“do him up” but were afrald to tackle him as long as he was fixed to protect himself. —_——————— Striker Charged With Robbery. John Tuit, a striking longshoreman, was arrested yesterday morning by Sergeant Christiansen and booked at the City Prison on a charge of robbery. The com- plaining witness is Fred H. Wehr, one of Curtin’s special officers, who was induced to go to the longshoremen’'s headquarters, Third and Berry streets, last Saturday, and while there was, he alleges, robbed of his revolver, watch and money and kicked downstairs. He and Sergeant Christiansen went to Third and Berry streets yesterday morning and Wehr pointed out Tuit as one of the men who robbed and kicked him. CLOSE SALCONS ON FRONT FOR HARBORING STRIKERS Police éommissionm Revoke the Licenses of Two Places Where Men Were Beaten. Renewals of licenses of two saloons con- tiguous to the water front were refused last night by the Board of Police Com- missloners. The places that were ordered closed are W. Iarsen’s, at 249 Steuart street, near Folsom, and the Phoenix sa- loon, Fred Sanders proprietor, 16 East street. In both cases the proprietors and barkeepers, according to the statements made by sergeants of police and patrol- men, have stood calmly by while strikers beat several men into a state of insensi- bility and defied the efforts of the police to go to their assistance by locking doors andin other ways obstructing them . in their duties. Both licenses expire within a few days. { ‘ | Applications for permits to carry con- cealed weapons were granted to 103 per- sons. Curtin's Detective: Agency asked for the appointment of seventy-three ad- ditional special policemen, and announced the withdrawal of the names of thirty- nine heretofore appointed. The Risdon Iron Works secured the appointment of four, and twenty-four miscellaneous ap- plications were granted. Among the names submitted by Curtin's agency was that of Percy Ashcroft, who has figured in_two shooting scrapes within the past week. Officer J. W. Scott appearcd before the Police Commissioners to answer to the charges preferred against him by Captain Wittman and Sergeant Donovan. Officer Scott is accused of having beaten a wom- an while intoxicated in a saloon adjacent to the Hall of Justice. His attorney, Frank J. Drury, secured a continuance of his examination for a week on the ground of newly discovered evidence. The Commissloners later met as a board of pension commissioners to consider the applications of Mrs. Hannah Smith, widow of James Smith, who asks $1000 from the police pension fund, according to the re- cent decision of the Supreme Court in the Kavanaugh case, and John Kelly, a pres- ent member of the force, to be retired on account of physical disability. Both cases were referred to the City and County At- torney for his opinion. _— % HE Pacific Coast Steamship Com- pany filed a suit in the United | * States Circult Court yesterday against the Pacific Coast Marine Firemen's Union (incorporated), the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific (a volun- tary association), Andrew Furuseth, its secretary, its treasurer, shipping master and its members to recover $25000 dam- ages for breach of contract. The complaint recites that on May 15, 1901, the plaintiff and the Firemen’s Union entered into the following contract: The plaintiff agrees to ship as firemen and coalpassers on its vessels exclusively men Who are members of the union, provided the union can at all times furnish men when required. In case it cannot supply full crews the steam- ship company will bave the right to ship other men. The steamship company will not be obliged to ship any man who is a member of the union and who 1s personally objectionable_ to the | company. Wages to be $50 for firemen, $40 for coal- passers; board money 60 cents per day.

It is further agreed that elther party to this agreement who shall, without the consent of the other party, disturb the existing labor con- ditions shall be deemed to have violated this agreement. Signed for the Pacific Coast Steamship Com- pany ;by Goodall, Perkins & Co., and for the Firemen's Union by John Bell, secretary. The complaint alleges further that the firemen and coal passers left the employ- | ment of the company on August 7, there- | by violating their agreement with the | company. There is also set forth a contract made with_the Sailors’ Union, signed by Good: all, Perkins & Co. for the steamship co pany and Andrew Furuseth for the Sail- ors’ Union. The complaint then recites | the teamsters’ strike of July 20 and the | general strike that was called in sympa- thy with them, and alleges that the de- | fendants - conspired with - the' teamsters and other assoclations for the purpose- of interfering with, obstructing, - and, if possible, stopping altogether the trade | and commerce of the port of Sam Fran- | cisco. The defendants ordered all their | members to abandon thelr employment | with the plaintiff forthwith and to refuse | to re-enter their service on any terms whatsoever. It is alleged that these orders were issued for the purpose of crippling the plaintiff and rendering it impossible | for the plaintiff to carry on Its business, | and that said orders were obeyed by the | members of the defendant associations, in consequence of which the plaintiff has been put to great loss, labor and incon- | venience. It is unable to obtain men to operate its vessels, and its vessels have been forced to remain idle for long per- iods of time and it has been compelled to operate such vessels at Increased expense to plaintiff’s loss and damage in the sum of_$25,000. Page, McCutchen, 'Harding & Knight are attorneys for the plaintiff. ! o e i Special Officer Is ‘Arrested. E. Thomas, a special police officer in the employ of McNab & Smith, was ar- rested last night at the Cliff House by Sergeant Coogan on complaint of P, .H. O'Donohue. Thomas and a number of non-unfon teamsters went to the CIIff last night, and on the way out on the cars got into an argument with strike sympathizers. The special claims that a ark policeman took his revolver from im, discharged all the cartridges and then returned the weapon to him. After leaving the car at the Cliff House Thomas and the teamsters want to Sutro baths, where he was arrested. O'Dono- hue was cne' of the strike sympathizers who rode out with Thomas, and he claims that the special assaulted him. The spe- clal officer was under the influence of liquor. —_— Union Men Beat Sailor.
