Attacks upon non- union laborers are increasing in number and viclousness, and business men agree that lawlessness -is reaching a stage where harsh measures must be taken. A vigilance committee even is talked of to take in hand public officlals who refuse, in spite of attacks daily in which non- union men are most brutally beaten, to admit that disorder prevails. The strike leaders report contributions | from outside unions to the local strike funds, and assert their ability to hold out | for months. The City Front Federation | Jately received $500 from British Columbia coal miners, and advices from Nanalmo were received yesterday to the effect that more had been appropriated. A check for $500 was received yesterday by Secretary Rosenberg of the San Fran- cisco Labor Council from the National | Association of Brewery Workers, now in | convention at Philadelphia. It is to be | applied to benefits for the local brewery | workers, The Team Drivers’ International Union in Chicago appropriated $1000 Monday for the San Francisco strikers, and the lake seamen, with headquarters {n Chicago, ap- propriated a like sum. The executive committee of the City Front Federation is preparing for another mass-meeting to be held in Metropolitan Temple Saturday night. Father Yorke will be the principal speaker, and Andrew Furuseth will review the situation. The City Front Federation has pur- chased a restaurant at 15) East street and placed it in the hands of the subsistence committee. Meal tickets are to be issued to strikers in lieu of cash benefits. o S e VIOLENCE ON THE INCREASE. Victims Non-Union Sailors and All Brutally Treated. Violence along the water front is fncreas- I'ing at an alarming rate. The police in | charge of that district are at their wits’ end, hospital attendants are working | night and day and those whose business | takes them along the wharves and In the | vicinity go thelr way in fear and | trembling. | John Mulcahy, a non-union sailor, was | attacked early _yesterday morning at | Howard and st streets. He was | treated at the Harbor Hospital for a bad- | 1y_lacerated scalp. | “Patrick Leonard, a sailor, belonging to the ship Haydn Brown, was held up on Sansome and Pacific streets. The hos- | pital record shows that he sustained a | dangerous laceration of the lower right | eyelld, a laceration of the scalp and in- | jury to his left eye which may cost him his sight. Willlam Miller, a non-union sailor, met the fighting squadron on Spear street, be- tween Folsom and Howard. His share of punishment was four lacerated wounds of | the scalp. | _Wailter Borden, a _non-union sailor, had his nose split open by a committee which | met him on Howard street, near Third, and H. Takahashi, a Japanese steward, | sustained a deep laceration of the scalp in the nelghbornood of Folsom-street whart No. 2: C. Donohue, a striker, was treated at the Harbor Hospital last evening for a lacerated scalp. - He said he had been hit by a special policeman. S Thomas Costello, a teamster, in the em- ploy of Scott & Magner, was struck over the head with a bottle by a union team- ster yesterday as he drove along Howard street, near Sixth. The striker watched his chance, jumped upon the hay truck and dealt Costello a vicious blow. Costello was taken to the Emergency Hospital for a lacerated wound of the scalp. e WOUNDED STRIKER DIES. William T. Sullivan, Shot at Hoop- er’s Stables, Succumbs to Injuries. William T. Sullivan, a striking team- ster, who resided at 1200 Folsom street, died at St. Luke's Hospital yesterday morning of a bullet wound received in an attack by strikers upon non-union men at the corner of Fourth and Townsend streets on September 5. " Early in the morning of that day a mob of armed strikers assembled at the lo- cality named and opened fire with their revolvers upon non-union tehmsters as thiey were about to take their teams from the stables. The non-union men in self- defense returned the fire and about 100 shots were interchanged. One of the special police engaged in de- fending the non-umion teamsters re- ceived a slight wound in_the leg. A horse belonging to C. A. Hooper & Co. was struck by a bullet and injured so se- verely that it died a few hours later. It was reported at the time that one or two of the strikers were hit in the fusillade repelling their assault, and the police in making the round of the hospitals for wounded men discovered Sullivan in St. Luke's Hospital. He had been struck in the arm and the leg. His death was due immediately to septicaemia. It was stated by Sullivan and his friends that he was accidentally shot while cleaning a revolver, but the location of the two wounds does not bear out the as- sertion. The inquest will be held Friday. No arrests have been made, and prol ably no one will be prosecuted for shoot- ing Sullivan, on account of his com- panions’ insfstence that his wounds were not received in that encounter. LONGSHOREMEN FROM OHIO. Negroes From Cincinnati at Work on Mail Dock. . The permanent force of longshoremen on duty at the Pacific Mail dock was yes- terday reinforced by forty-two colored laborers, all experienced longshoremen. They_were brought from' Cincinnati and are the forerunners of as many more as the Pacific Mail Company will need to re- cruit a force sufficient to handle its work on _the dock independently of local labor. These laborers arrived edly yesterday morning. They were met at the Oakland mole by representatives of the Pacific Mail Company and transferred to the Mail dock on the tender Millen Griffith. Four carloads of them left Ohlio, but at rant Gap the train was boarded by & delegation of strike representatives from San Francisco, who induced thirty-seven of them to leave the train. Those that arrived here, however, seemed more than pleased with their prospective employ- ment. They sang songs while waiting for the Millen Griffith, and their melodies during the trip from Oakland to the Mail dock attracted much attention. Of the men who were induced to desert the train sixteen were taken to an employ- ment office in Sacramento and work se- cured for them. They claimed that they had been assured that there was no strike in San Francisco. | - TRIES TO KILL FUREY. Union Sailor Takes Four Shots at the Special Officer. The poor marksmanship of Axel Carl- son, & union sailor, is all that saved Spe- cial Policeman Edward Furey from be- coming the victim last night of a cold- blooded conspiracy to murder. Furey is a special detailed for duty on the Oceanic dock. He was informed yesterday by a friend that three non-union sallors, anxious to ship on the steamer Australia, would be at the corner of Turk and Tay- lor streets and if he would guard them to the Oceanic dock they would join the Aus- tralia’s crew. Furey met the men and they accom- panied him to the water front. At the corner of East and Waahlnfmn streets, however, they suddenly fell to the rear and Carlson fired four shots point blank at Furey's head. Carlson was nervous, his aim poor and Furey escaped without a scratch. Policemen Lake and Muflhy were in the Immediate vicinity. ey witnessed the shooting and grabbed Carl- son, with the smoking revolver still in his’ possession. ,When searched at the Harbor Police Sfation it was found that he was a union sallor in good standing. He was booked on a charge of attempt to commit murder. Furey shot and wounded a striker alfew days ago. The plot that failed last night is supposed to be in the nature of a re- taliation. —_———— PROTECTION IS PROMISED. Chief of Police Replies to British Vice Consul. Chief Sullivan sent the following letter yesterday to Wellesley Moore, Vice Con- sul for Great Britain, in reply to his com- munication of September 14, published vesterday: I desire to acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 14th inst. regarding assault upon une of the crew of the British ship Haddon Hall and calling my attention to the fact that the corner of Howard and East strcets is_infested by a lawless element. I have investigated the matter complained of very thoroughly and have given additional krolectlon to the shipping in that vicinity, hich I trust will meet all present require- ments; 1 not, 1 will take further steps in the matter and wish to assure you that all possible protection will be given to the crews of ships in this port, and in the very near future I will take proper steps to prevent a Tepetition of brutal assaults upon unofferding people on the water front. CLOSING OPEN DOCKS. Wharves Will Soon Be All Fenced From Public View. The strike promises to be of some bene- fit to local shipping interests in that the present conditions have had the effect of spurring the Harbor Commissioners to action in the matter of closing in a num- ber of the open docks. The work at Fre- mont-street wharf is almost completed and work will be commenced to-day on Howard-street No. 1. ‘When these are completed the work will his intention to return to work, he is notified that if he does so he will be murdered. men are lying in wait to attack me, and that it has been removed from the scene the strike would soon be set- In other words, this is an indirect way of setting a price upon my head. alarm in the breasts of conservative citizens. bring this sort of thing to a close that the subject of or- ganizing a vigilance committee has been broached. less we stir ourselves speedily no man’s life will be safe grace to civilization and a reproach upon mankind.

This will greatly simplify matters during the present troubles and hundreds of men now deterred from working on account of the exposed condition of the wharves will turn to, make up for the time lost during the strike and do a great deal toward relieving the situation. R ‘Wittman Case Continued. The case of Captain George W. Witt- man, charged with battery upon James Masse, a striking marine fireman, was again called in Judge Cabaniss’ court yes- terday, the jurors summoned by the Sheriff being present. Attorney Barrett for the prosecution said that Judge Sea- well had not yet given his decision on the writ of prohibition but would do so Fri- day morning, and he asked that a_con- tinuance be granted till then. The Judge did not wish the jurors to be put to the inconvenience of returning at that time, as in the event of Judge Seawell decidin adversely to Captain Wittman an appefi would probably be taken to the Supreme Court, which would prevent him going on with the case. Attorney Barrett claimed that an appeal would not be a bar to pro- | ceeding with the case and said he would | gubmit authoritles on the point before | Friday. The case was continued till Fri- | day afternoon. Strikers Sent to Jail. Fred Moore and Frank Reynolds, strik- ers, who were arrested at Third and How- | ard streets Saturday night for beating Al Fitzgerald and G. g Fitzgerald, . were convicted b}"Jhdge abaniss yesterday on a charge of disturbing the peace. Moore was sentenced to sixty days In the County Jail and Reynolds to fifty days. Leonard L. Nott, striking = teamster, appeared in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday and was in- structed and arraigred ‘on the second charge of robbery against him for attack- ing and robbing Fpecial Officer C. H. Car- rington. The case was continued till Fri- day. It is sald that the two cases of rob- ! bery against Nott and Charles Rowland, | another striking teamster, will be taken before the Grand Jury, so that indict- ments can be brought against them and the cases taken out of the Police Court. s o s Picket’s Deadly Bludgeon. The harbor police yesterday took from a union picket a weapon which is a curi- osity in its deadly way. Its foundation is a’length of steél cable. It is carefully covered with a newspaper which is neatly wrapped with twine. The newspaper se- | lected for the purpose was a Buffalo | Courier of September 10, containing a full account of the assassination of President McKinley.
