The strikers were urged to stand firm, and union men at work were ex- horted to contribute liberally to th strike fund. Father Yorke asserted that the employers of San Francisco wwere moved by Old World ideas, and they tere forcing the contest because they wished the relation to be that of master and servant, not that of employer and employe. He urged his hearers to see that their money did not go into the coffers of the men who stood against them, whether merchants or newspaper publishers. Father Yorke digressed from the strike question to defend the Examiner against the storm of condemnation aroused by the assassination of President William McKinley. Union Labor party. While asserting that strikers’ violence was a newspaper phantom, he pleaded non-union men. The day had its share of outbreaks on the water front and in the region traversed by drays. the police zwere forced to charge HE mass-meeting held at Motro- politan Temple last night under the auspices of the City Front Federation was the largest gath- ering of strikers hnd thehr sym- pathizers since the begning of the in- dustrial confiict. From stage to roof the hall was packed with an audience overs charged und ebullient with enthustasm Peter C. Yorke was the speaket ening, and his predecessors, An- and Walter MacArthur, acted merely in a proludal way to put the vest assemblage in a mood dy for a reception of the priest's words, Father rke played upon the emotions of his audience with n sure hand., His address, clearly thought out and analyzed, pro- gressed step by step toward his certain | climax, when every man in the house ro as one and cheered with all the lustiness of well-exercised throats and lungs, Father Yorke practiced all his arts of oratory. Several times he stopped, fear- ing that he was encroaching upon the time of his audlence, only to be told by hundreds of volces to go on with his speech, And ther Yorke went on, He exhorted the strikers and the laborers to tighten the bands of unionism and down those who, according to the priest's words, are (rying to make chattels of free men, He bitterly dengunced the business of Ban Francisco as antiquated in hods and ideas. Press and politics ually suffered at the hands of the pre- ate. Labor alone was accorded a majes- 1y and a dignity All else recelved the treatment of the iconoclast, Reviewing the history of the confliet be the luboring man and the omploy er, Father Yorke ended with a sevete de nuneiation of the methods of the wodern employer, whom he classed as the wage- carnel’s enemy, e sald he would 8peak in N0 uneertain terme, His speech shows a complete carryvirg out of his intentions. Furuseth Talks, Andrew Furnseth was the fivsl speaker of the evening, In part he satd: n No wreat vislence s warred the careying on of this sirike.

Furuseth concluded with a further ap- peal for help for the strikers and thelr familios MacArthur's Speech. Wailter MacArthur, editor of the Coast | Seamen's Journal, followed, He sald: 1t I8 now elght weeks since the City Front Federation entered upon this struggle, one that has compelled the admiration of the world.

And we have been generously assisted. This is & SN of success. On the other hand, the employers are getting more desperate every day.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STR W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 partment of Agriculture to-day lssued an exhaustive report on Irrigation prepared under the supervision of Professor Elwood Mead, expert in charge of irrigation in- vestigations for the department. The pub- lication is a report of Investigations con- | ducted in California during 1900 by irriga- n specialists in co-operation with the » and Forest Assoclation, and while it deals entirely with irrigation problems in California these are so per- tinent to other portions of the country | that the report will be found of interest and of value to those Interested in irrigs tion in all the so-called arld land States. In describing the agricultural sit- uation in Callfornia Professor Mead says: | “The history of irrigation in California, from the time when the nussion fathers first turned Jts streams on the thirsty soil, hus shown an unusual mingling of rom ‘and smifshness. Men have w with each other and for each other in co-operative diich enterprises, mauy of which have been remarkably successtul, while on the other hand they have sought to Dlce thetr neighbors in bondage by speculative A uf streams.

While water for & higher price than elsewhere more to whste than is used. There are fow in the world where rural life has the s or possibilities which go with the | .

As a result of the Investigations of the various streams and the conditions thus 0 of 1ry plicable to every arid land 8tate which dues not possess n comprehensive State vstem of water control. These recom- mendations are as follows: 1. There should be created In Callfornia a speclal tribunal entitled *“The Board ot Control of Waters,” which shall have the determina- thon of existing water rights of the establishment of rights board should consist of one attorney, ness man and one civil engineer, all of good character and established reputation, to be ses locted and appointed by the Bupreme Court ot the State and to hold office until removed for cause. The salury of this board should not be less than §8000 per annum each, and they showld be allowed a.clerk at a salary of $1800 per annum, to be appointed by thé board. 2 sro whould” be an_executive officer ot th wppointed by them, who should be 1\, gineer and suprenie control over th ninistration water supply and its distribution to the entitled to fta use, ‘The title of the hould be ate hydraullc engineer.'’ Btate Leglslature should by statute experfenc the common Ilaw doctrine of ri- parian rights 18 inapplicable to the prevailling conditions {n Callfornia, except so tar as to make riparian owners on streams peeferred users of the natural stream tlow for domestic and stock purposes. 4. The statutes of California passed for the govornment of the appropriation of streams should declare that all unappropriated waters not utilized for irrigation at the date of the passage of the act, either Ly canals or reser- volrs, are rty, and all Irrigation a bl hereafter shall be at- tached 1o the land for which the appropria- tion Is made. The volume permitted to be ap- propriated should In all cases be limited to the actual necessities of economical use, to be determined from time to time by the Btate hydraulic engineer. Priority of use should glve the better right as' between partios using water for the same purpose. Co-operation Is Necessary. There should be entire harmony and co- operation between the State and national gov- ernments, looking to the fullest possible use of the waters of the State for irrigation, par- ticularly In. all cases where the diversion of water from the streams may tend to render navigable streams non-navigable. To avcom- plish this purpose the national Government #hould take measures for canaiizing the rivers and making slack-water navigation on the streams, thus giving maximum navigability with mintmum use of water. A wise adjust- ment_and determination of the volume which can be safely taken from the tributaries of navigable streams for lreigation without inter- fering with slack-water navigation should be urged upon the natlonal Government as an urgent necessity. 6 The work of the national Government in promoting rrigation development, In addition rights o b 5. costru, “‘l‘“:\'l(l‘r to be used on the public lands, and continuation of the hydrographic and' topo- graphlo work of the geological survey and the Work of the Department of Agriculture for the sromotion of improved economic methods of rigation % 7.

Around the review grounds was a deep mass of red and blue infantry, cavalry and artlllery. The whole line extended several miles in spite of the fact that the troops were drawn up 150 files deep. Sud- denly, at a glven signal, this vast body | beg: to swing around, thus bringing the head of the line across the review ground and in front of the Czar. The effect was to give the impression of a wide stretch of landscape slowly moving in a circle. The commander-in-chief, General Bru- gure, surrounded by his staff, led the march past, with the foreign military at- taches at some distance on his left.” Be- hind, in four heavy columns, marched a whole division of Infantry with fixed bay- onets. Tt was an astounding sight to see this forest of buyonets advance across the lain In a huge oblong block. The divis- on was headed by the massed bands of all its regiments, which played a popular march, the “Sombre et Meus."” General Brugure and his staff, reaching the front of the dals, saluted the Presi- dent and the Czar, and with the forelgn attaches took up 'a position facing the dals, g0 that the rest of the army passed between the Czar and General Brugure.

NICHOLAS.™" L e R R S Y ) Gage a Vote-Seeker. Colusa_Sun, The San Francisco Examiner says that Governor Gage, in his reply to the State Foard of Trade, wanted to reply to W. 8. Green. There was nobody holding him. Why didn’t he do it? The Examiner could not answer, Gage perhaps told the Exam- iner that he wished he had the abllity to do it. Gage made a single point on the State Board of Trade, and that a mere tecknical one based on a false statement of fact—It had asked him to Interfere when the Sheriff of the county had said he could do It, but the Sheriff's great big IF was not noticed. He wrote Governor Gage that he could handle the mob at Port Costa 1K the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County would pay a posse. But the Supervisors aforesaid had refused to pay the posse before the Governor wrote the letter, and we have very good reason to know ‘that the Governor knew of the refusal at the times he put out his learned epistle, The Sheriff did not tell him that there was no mob at Port Costa that needed handling, but on the other hand he told him there was a mob that needed handling by some one: he only aald he coul P he A poase!

Gates Says Steel and Iron Men Will Agree. ——— Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Sept. 2 The next three years will see that big bone of conten- tlon—the steel and iron trade—amicably divided between the industries of America and England now warring to the knife in | the latter country. At the same time Ar- | glo-American competition in other lnes | of production will be growing steadfastly more strenuous and at this time the result cannot be foretold.” John W. Gates, the steel magnate, made the foregoing declaration to-night upon his return home from a pleasure trip through Great Britain and“on the conti- nent, “What do you mean by amicably di- vided?" was asked. 1 mean,” Gates replied, “that Ameri- can and British steel and iron manufac- turers will agree on a uniform scale of prices for their productions. Who was it SAIA 10 @ certain instunce 1hat there was enough glory to Ko around? Well, in this case I belleve our steel manufacturers and those across the water will agree ul- timately that there is enough money irn the business for both of them. “I may say that the alarm occasioneé the Industries of Great Britain by Ameri. can manufacturers at the present time has not been exaggerated iy the press. | believe myself that the competition most feared by the English at the present time, and rightfully so, is that of the iron and steel industries of America. On the other hand, England has so large and steady a source of income from our American trav- elers that she can afford to tolerate our poaching on her Industrial preserves." — Strikers Cut the Ropes. Strikers caused a slight disturbance yes- terday morning at the corner of Sixth and Harrlson streets by cutting the ropes of an Overland Freight Transfer truck which was loaded heavily with sewing machines, Several of the machinea rolled to the ground and were considerably dam- ufl-d.

For the first time In many weeks there was little work for the sur geons at the Harbor Hospital, but be« 1t you | tween the hours of § and 11 p. m. thirty=- nine prisoners were locked up at the Harbor police station. Most of them were cherged with “drunk,” the police finding It little use, in view of the attitude of the Police Judges, to prefer the more serious charges called for by some of the cases. At 11 o'clock last night there was hard- man to be seen along the line of locks from Vallejo street to the Mall dock. The reinforced peace squad is working under the orders of Lieutenant Price. His orders are being carried out to_the letter, Most of the ‘“dives” along the front have been closed up and many of the saloons, hitherto headquarters for the concoction of violence schemes, are now only open from sunrise to sunset.

The timely arrival of a strong posse of policemen under the command of Lieuten- ant Martin prevented a riot at Sixth and Folsom strects last evening. One of the Stetson-Renner Drayage Company's trucks, driven by & non-union man named Reynolds, got caught I a rut in the street and in a' few minutes the driver and the special officer who accompanied him were strrounded by a howling mob of strikevs and their sympathizers. The special, scenting serious trouble, drew his revolver and tireatened to shoot the first man who attempted to_offer violence to him or the teamster. Some citizen, evi- dentl realizing that a clash between the rival forces was imminent, telephoned to Captain Wittman. The latter at once sent Lietitepant Martin and a formidable squad to the scene, and with the ald of their clubs they soon dispersed the strikers. One of the latter refused to move on and was severely clubbed. Another truck driven by a non-union teamster got stalled on Geary street, near Kearny, yesterday afternoon, and the driver falling to get his team to move the truck v usly’ applied his whip to the horses. S’ver people gathered near the truck, and as the driver used the lash many of them hooted and jeered him. The special officer who accompanied him stood at his post prepared to prevent any attempt on the part of a number of strikers who were present to do any dam- age. While the crowd kept jeering the teamster several police officers who were sent from the Central statlon appeared and drove the crowd away. ———————————— Petitions in Insolvency.
