The terms involve the return to work of the teamsters under former conditions and the recognition of the union iu matters pertaining to wages and hours only. The mediators are hopeful of favorable action by the draymen, and if that is secured the terms will be submitted to the teamsters for their approval. No other event occurred that points to an early settlement of the strike, and the leaders of each side say that the persistent rumors of agreement are as unfounded as they were Thursday. . Violence was again on the upgrade, but the number of attacks on non-union men did not approach the number reported on the later days of last week. - ITTLE of importance developed vesterday in the strike situatjon, although rumors remained cur- rent that the prospects of settle- ment were brightening. The Su- pervisors’ Conciliation Committee secured no conference with an Employers’ Asso- ciation committee, and the draymen and teamsters are apparently no nearer agree- ment. The executive committee of the Dray- men’s Association held two meetings, at which terms of peace alleged to have been proposed by the committee of one hun- | dred of the Municipal Federation of Im- | provement Clubs were considered, and an- other meeting for the same purpose will 1 be held at 11 o’clock this morning. The terms involve the unconditional return of the strikers to work, but a recognition of | the Brotherhocd of Teamsters in matters affecting hours and wages is conceded by the employers. Messis. Lorenzo and Greensfelder are hopeful that the Dray- tion will approve the terms, ase the proposal will be sub- mitted to the Brotherhood of Teamsters. The union's approval of the terms is re= rded as a foregone conclusion. Secretary Lorenzd™s course is not meet- ing with the approval of the members of the Conclliation Committee, from which he gets his authority.

OPEN LETTER TO MERCHANTS. al importa strike are under i | Teamsters Issue an Arraignment of Employers’ Association. The following open. letter " has been issued by the Brotherhood of Teamstérs To the Members of the Merchants' Assocta- Gentlemen: The board of directors of Your association has seen fit to address a man- ifesto to you on.the condition of labor in San Franc! . What were the precise circum- stances that moved them to that weighty aect, we do not know; but it is well understood that you not all satisfied with the management ur association by its present regents and rong sense of opportunities neglected has ed your board of directors to prefer this unt of its stewardship. You will pardon we hope, if we direct your attention to a few fundamental facts which the daily devel- opments in this struggle are apt to obscure. In the first place, we would direct your at- tention to the iact that the present condition of labor in San Francisco is not a mere strike. It has not been caused by the workingmen. It js a lockout; it was caused by the employers. Therefore if there be a disturbance of business, if the lines of trade are falllng from your we are not the cause. The in- dictment of injury to you and to our city lies agal us but against those who without any provocation whatsoever \rom us brought on this struggie. In the second place we would direct your at- tention to the fact that there are three parties in this struggle. It is not a contention between the employers and the emptoyed. If we had differed with our employers or if our employ- ers bad differed with us, then public opinion might apportion the blame. But there was ab- solutely no difference between the draymen and the teamsters. An agreement existed between them and us satisfactory to both sides. They were willing to stand by their covenant, we were willing to stand by ours. We had work and they had business. There was not even a hadow of @ cloud to disturb our good rela- tions. In the third place we would direct your at- tention to the fact that the draymen were forced to break their contract with us at the bidding of an outside third party. Without any provocation, without any justification, the Em- vers Association ordered the draymen to Violate the mgreement between them and us, which had worked so well. The draymen re- fused at first because they wished to conduct their own business without outside interference, and because they were perfectly satisfled with our mutual relations. The Employers' Asso- ciation thereupon threatened to boycott our em- ployers and to ruin their business, and under the stress of this threat the draymen violated their contract with us by ordering us to per- form work which that contract expressly for- bade. When we refused we were logked out. In the fourth place we would direct your at- ! tention to the fact that the Employers’ Asso- { the road with his headguarters in tnis | | Reduced by Leaving Off Coffee and | Using Postum Food Coffes, | “I have used coffee many years; In fact, ever since I was a child, until a few ago I became satisfied that it hurt the miserable drowsy feeling oated condition of my body.

Its members are ashamed to let the world know that they belong to it. You are merchants and you know that Wheri & business man engages in a transaction of which he is ashamed such transaction must be despicable indeed. The Employers' Associa- tion belongs to the category of those aggrega- tions of village ruffians who in out of the way places come at midnight with masks on their Taces and weapons in their hands to terrify, to mutilate, to torture helpless men and feeble women who have incurred their displeasure. In the fifth place we would direct your at- tention to the fact that the Employers’ Asso- tion was organized for the purpose of car- ying out a scheme the responsibility for which none of them has the courage to shoulder. That scheme is the destruction of trade unions. We do not intend to insult your intelligence y proving the necessity of trade unionism. ffice it to say that “the constitution and laws authorize it”; the spirit of the country claims it; the prosperity of the people, the very life of the natien, requires It Whatever the other interests at stake that of the right of popular association and combina- tion outranks them all, and this must be sus- tained even if those are to be sacrificed. Trades unions must exiet. This is the verdict of our Against this verdict the Employers’ fation sets itself up. You are men of mon sense and you can judge of the en- lightenment, the wisdom, the patriotism of the Employers’ Assoclation, which, in- fatuated calf, stands between the ralls facing the oncoming express train and thinks to stop | the progress of civilization by the impact of I am very| te and do not feel | but decided that the | sight, for prudence or for must be my own, for so many peo- | Liis War and have carried it on ‘without once um and liked it that I| me trouble in my prep- | ation of it, 5o I examined the directions | 303" teadtty to consult with any one con- its bullet head. In the sixth place we would direct your at- tention to the fact that the Employers’ Asso- clation, having set the towm on fire, s now | beseeching to stop the conf . You are business men. What would think of a company of business men who, engaged in a transaction of the first fm) , never met to impart counsel, to receive o devise means to meet new conditions? is a fact, and one of the saddest facts we can conceive, that the Employers' Assoclation, that has taken on itself the respomsibility of de- Stroying the trade of San Francisco, bas never yet held a meeting. A few men, and these by have honor, begun deigning to consult those whose agents they are supposed to be. In the seventh place we would direct your attention to the fact that these men have re- cerning the present conditions of labor. The | Whole city is affected by the struggle. p- ! resentatives of various interests have tried to get the Employers’ Association to a confer- ence. They have all been repulsed. The great employers of the East, men. who could buy out all the merchants of San Francisco and not feel the expense, are not too proud to meet | and consuit with those who are trying to end & great strize. The executive committee of ‘ the Employers’ Assoclation of San Francisco is_too wise to need any man's counsel. In the eighth piace we would direct your at- tention to the fact that the Employers’ Asso- clation will not permit the draymen to deal] with us. In any war, no matter how weak, no matter how savage {he antagonists may be, a confer- ence is never denied. In this war alone we ar considered so utterly despicable that those who are fighting us will not condescend to treat with us. Agaln and again we have sought, again and again it has been denied, We have gone as far as honor would permit | or prudence advise to end this strike. That it is not ended is the fault of the Employers’ Association, just as it is the crime of that association that it was ever begun. ese facts, gentlemen, we most respectfully | lay before you. We do not wish to trespass too much on your patience at one time. At a later day, however, we shall lay before you certain deductions from these facts and practi- cal applications of the same which we feel | sure will be to vour. interests and prosperity. Respeetfully yours, JOHN McLAUGHLIN, Secretary Brotherhood of Teamsters. MICHAEL CASEY, Business Agent. VIOLENCE _ON THE INCREASE. Attacks on Non-Union Men Growing Common Again. Fred Gross, a blacksmith, who arrived from Chicago on Thursday night, was | beaten by five strikers at Fourth and | Townsend streets vesterday. Gross was | engaged to go to work at the Risdon Iron Works on Monday. After he escaped | from his asailants he went to Emergency | | Hospital to have several lacerated wounds on his head and face dressed. John Kiener, a non-union fireman cn the steamer Santa Rosa, and his brothers, Charles and Henry, who have been work- | ing for the Pacific Coasi Steamship Com- | pany as non-union longshoremen, were at- | tacked last evening by a number of strik- | ers as they ware leaving a restaurant on | Mission street, near Third, John and Charles were beaten so badly about the head that they visited the Receiving Hos- pital for treatment. The Kieners, who | came here recently from Missouri, claim | that the strikers robbed them of a watch and a small amount of smoney. | James Haney, a young man from Hum- | | boldt County, Was the next visitor to the hospital. He alleges that union teamsters, after holding him all day in their head- quarters as a prisoner, led him to the foot of Fourth street last evening and beat him over the head with revolvers. Haney has not been working at anything since ke arrived in the city. He says he was | sitting on a lumber plle reading a paper | when he was approached by several | teamsters. They told him to go along | | with them or they would kill him. After | keeping him at their headquarters all day they led him to the lourth-street bridge, telling him they were going to ship him on the steamer North Fork. Instead of so0 doing they administered a severe beat- ing to him. | _J. M. Steinbraker, a recent arrival from Sacramento, who is residing at 509 Jones | street, was attacked by a number of men, presumably botile beer workers, at Octa- a street and Iyy avenue and received a severe scalp wound and many contused wounds. He had taken a job in John Rapp & Sons' Leer bottling works. His injuries were attended to at the hospital and a_policeman was delegated to accom- pany him to his home. Charles Whitcomb, a special policeman employed by the Curtin agency, received a | cruel beating last night from a number of strikers as he was passing the Grand Opera-house. ilis pistol and club were taken from him and then he was kicked about the face and head until he was unconscious. His nose was broken and his other features rendered unrecogniz- | able. His injuries were attended at the | hospital. ———— BUSY DAY ON WATER FRONT. Much Freight Is Handled and Many Vessels Clear. ! The owners of vessels are greatly pleased with the amount of work now he- ing accomplished by the gangs of non- union hands employed along the front. Yesterday was one of the busiest days, so far as work is concerned, on the front since the inception of fhe strike. At all the wharves immense quantities of freight were handled and a number of vessels were able to clear at the Cusiom-house as a result of the activity displayed by the men. The Mary E. Foster, heavily laden with freight and carrying a deckload of horses and mules, is ready to leave for Honolulu as soon as a crew can be obtained. The Santa Rosa, with a full cargo and earry- ing a large number of passengers, will |leave for San Diego this morning. The | Tellus is ready to leave for Oyster Har- bor to-day for a cargo of coal for Duns- muir & Co. The Coronado was ready to sail yesterday afternoon, but was delayed owing to the non-arrival of her crew. The Eureka got away on time yesterday. The American ship A. G. Ropes, in bal- last from Yokohama, got into port yes- terday, and the schooner Marion, with 340,000 feet of lumber for the Puget Sound Lumber Company, also got in. Captain Leale's barge Bullion was cut 2drift from Jackson-street wharf early Tuesday morning. The barge drifted about the bay and brought up on the beach at Alcatraz, and a tug was sent over for it. S Judges Hear Strike Cases. The preliminary examination of John Tuite, a striking longshoreman, on the charge of robbery was commenced before Judge Fritz yesterday. The complaining witness, Fred G. Wehr, one of Curtin's special officers, testified to having been induced last Saturday to visit the long- shoremen’s headquarters on Berry street and there the defendant and others rob- bed him of his revolver, watch and money and kicked him downstairs. V. D. Hum- phreys, another special officer, teatified that he was asked to go to the longshore- men’s headquarters the same day to get a drink. When he got there the defend- ant came at him with a revolver in his hand and he drew his own revolver and backed out of the place to safety. Later in the day Wehr told him of having been robbed. The Judge continued the case till next Wednesday. Frank Wilson and Willlam Hill, strik- ers, who were arrested Thursday for bat- tery upon Thomas Riley, a non-union sta- bleman, at Fourteenth and Mission streets, appeared before Judge Cabaniss yesterday. After hearing the evidence the Judge convicted the defendants and ordered them to appear for sentence this morning.

SEEKS TO RESTRAIN JUDGE. Captain of Police George W. Wittman has petitioned the Superior Court for a writ of prohibition to restrain Police Judge George H. Cabaniss from proceed- ing with the trial of the petitioner on the charge of battery preferred against him by James Masse. Wittman, whose trial is set for the 13th inst., takes exception to the jury now being summoned for the trial by Sheriff Lackmann. He contends | that Judge Cabaniss has no jurisdiction | to order the Sheriff to summon & jury| and that such a jury would be illegal. ‘Wittman further asks the court to re- strain Judge Cabaniss absolutely from | proceeding further in the matter of the battery charge against- him. Upon the filing of Wittman’s petition a temporary restraining order was issued. Judge Sea- well will hear the case on the 10th inst. Ex-Assistant District Attorney Hosmer and P. F. Dunne, who represent Witt-| man, served Judge Cabaniss with the | temporary resiraining order late in the afternoon. DISCLAIMS ALLEGED SPEECE. | Chief of Police Sullivan disclaims the alleged instructions given by him to the police officers as published in the Exam- iner yesterday. In order to correct the | false impressions created by that publica~ tion he nas given out the instructions he | delivered as follows: Complaints have been made to me, and I have verified them by personal observation, that | large crowds of strikers are permitted to con- | gregate on the streets south of Market, partic- ularly on Third and Fourth streets and in front of saloons which at times they make their headquarters, | This must not be permitted, and whenever | any number congregate in that way on the | public thoroughfare they must be dispersed. I have seen officers standing on the corrers in the midst of a crowd of strikers taiking very familiarly to them, and I cannot understand how an officer in the proper discharge of his | duties can do this after establishing a friend- | ship with the vioiators of the law. After you have cleared the streets and kept them clear you will make.a report to me of such saloons as are used as headquarters for | the strikers. You have eight-hour watches, and | if you cannot obey the orders that are given | to you, which you are bound to do by your | oath ot office, then it will be more manly for you to get out of the service altogether. Reply to President Wheeler. The San Francisco Labor Council ap- proved at its meeting last night a second open letter to President Benjamin Ide ‘Wheeler of the University of California | in answer to his reply to the first open let- ter, in which objection wds made to stud- ents working as stevedores on the Oakland water front. The Labor Council, in this | second open letter, holds that President Wheeler's reply was not to the point and it asks for plain answers to its questions. The letter closes as follows: Be perfectly assured that so long as the university remains what it ought to be, the school of the people, it will have the support of the people. When It becomes an instrument in the hands of the rich to grind the faces of the poor, something is going to happen. What, in your opinion, would be the result If the rev- enties of the university were to undergo a pro- cess of crystallization? — Wounded Men in Hospital. Captain Seymour instructed Detective Ryan yesterday morning to go to St. Luke's Hospital and ascertain the names of patients there who were being treated for gunshot wounds reccived in connec- tion with strike troubles. Ryan reported | that he found Peter Callahan of 74§ Har- rison street, a striking marine fireman, who swas shot in- the cheek on August 22 at Jackson and East streets by Special | Officer Furey. He was running away with i the ¢érowd when shot. He said he would | leave 1t to_his friends whether or not to prosecute Furey. Thomas Morgan, a ma- rine fireman, who lives on Clark street, is other patient. He was shot in the shotlder by Aleck Nambos, a marine fire- man, at Greenwich and East streets on the pvening of August 20. Nambos was arrested at the time for assault to mur- der, and his case is pending in Judge Con- lan’s court, W. T. Sullivan, a Striking | teamster, who was shot in the shoulder Thursday night during the fight at the stables of the Excelsior Redwood Com- pany, Fourth gireet, near Channel, when a valuable horse was shot and killed, is in the hospital under the surveillance of a policeman. David Lindiana, 52 Kearny stredt, is also suffering from a gunshot wound in the arm. He disclaimed any connection with the strike and said he ac- cjde;:smlly shot himself in his room Aug- ust 28. Union Teamster Insane, Stephen M. Vieno, a union teamster, who resldes at 332 Turk street, visited the Recelving Hospital last evening and asked to be locked up. He declared his enemies were trying to take his life, de- claring that they had placed wires all about his room and charged them with a powerful electric current. He said he experienced a terrible shock Thursday night and asked the doctors if they blamed him for seeking a place of safety. He was locked in a padded cell and seemed overjoyed with his imprisonment. | Vieno had been employed as a teamster for the past ten years by Englander Brothers. He has a wife and two chil- dren, who are now residing In the country. prielid e Pierce Leaves for the North. At the regular weekly meeting of the Labor Council held last night in the Plo- neer building the announcement was made that Jefferson D. Pierce, grand or- ganizer of the American Federation of Labor, would leave this morning for the north. Pierce has sojourned in this city for nine months and during his stay or- ganized many labor unions. He has also played a prominent part in directing the strikes in which the varifous unions in- dulged. He goes direct to Beattle. He will not return to San Francisco. Dismisses Suit Against Union.

NATIVES” PLANS ARE UNGHANGED Garden City Goes Ahead With Admission Day Preparations. e Proceeding on the Belief That President McKinley Will Recover. Spectal Dispatch to The Call, SAN JOSE, Sept. 6.—The attempted as- sassinatlon of President McKinley put a temporary damper on the enthusiasm over the Native Sons’ celebration this aft- ernoon and for a time it was feared it would have to be abandoned. This even- ing the general committee of the celebra- tion held a meeting to consider the ques- tion. The committees in San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda, Santa Cruz and else- where were communicated with and the general expression was that President McKinley's condition was so favorable that it did not warrant any change in the Admission day plans. This was the opln- fon of the local committee also, The sub-committees were instructed to continue in their work and complete all arrangements. Of course, should Presi- dent McKinley's death occur the celebra- tion will be called off. All the parlors that have signified their intention of coming will be notified that the celebration will be held and that they will be expected to attend. The advance guards of several pariors came in to-day to make arrangements for opening head- quarters and have all In readiness when their parlors arrive to-morrow night.

Merchants are decorating their places of business. All colors of bunting festoon their fronts, dotted here and there with flags. In the windows and stores many tempting displays are set off with colored crepe paper. To-night strings of vari-colored Japan- ese lanterns were being strung throu; the business streets. These will give the city a bright appearance. Electric lights are being placed in St. James Park, where there will be a concert from § to 12 o'clock’ to-morrow night. MARKET-STREET COMPANY WILL GIVE INFORMATION Supervisors Still Considering the Proposed Ordinance Increasing the License Tax on Cars. The proposed ordinance increasing the license tax on street cars from $15 to $50 per annum was considered yesterday by the Supervisors. - Several officials of the various roads, including Secretary George Willcutt, Manager E. P. Vining, Jere Burke and J. H. Foulds of the Market Street Railway Company, George E. Starr, sccretapy and treasurer of the San Ma- teo road, were present. Supervisor Mc- Carthy endeavored to ascertain the cost of construction of the various lines owned by the Market Street Railway Company. The officlals of the company stated that they were willing to give whatever infor- matiion might be required, but explained that it would take at-least three months, owling to the Jarge number of systems. A discussion followed regarding the al- lowance that should be made for aban- doned properties replaced by improved construction. Si e s Secretary Btarr of the San Mateo road stated the line was operated at a loss in San Mateo County and the cash balance was ®ll expended-in betterments. The committee framed a set of questions to be answered by the company relating to the number of lineal feet of each kind of construction and cost per mile.
