MAHONEY of the Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the speakers at the Schmits meeting held on Friday night in the hall of the Sailors’ Union, in the course of his address used these words: “That’s the kind of union man that Eugene E. Schmitz is.” | The Call to-day presents photographs of three documents which should illustrate Mr. Mahoney's remark to the satisfaction of all union men. The story told by the documents is this: Early in June the Risdon Iron and Locomotive Works, unable on account of the machinists’ strike to fill an order for certain machinery for the Oceanic S| tebm.rhip | Company’s steamship Alameda, offered that work to outside parties. ’ Eugene E. Schmitz, not then having in prospect a place at the head of the Labor Union “ticket, saw in the strait of the Risdon people only an opportunity | fo help along the Economist Gas Engine Company, the boat in which he plows the industrial sea. 3 . | Schmitz made a bid for the work on June 12, offering to provide two ammonia compressors with engines attached for $530 each. The Risdon Iron Works accepted his bid on June 18. ; And then, while to use the words of Schmitz on Friday night at Sailors’ Union Hall, “the children and families (of the striking machinists) were crying for bread,” | lie set the whecls of lus shop in motion to do for the Risdon Iron Works that same work which the striking union machinists had refused to perform. The next cxhibit tells the story of the price paid Mr. Schmitz for doing the work his fellow-unionists had refused. - The object of the strike was to compel the iron works to comply with a request for a shorter day. The unions figured that being unable to get any work done the em- | ployers would be obliged to grant the concession. With the aid of non-union men in their shops, however, and union men like Schmitz on the outside, the employers have so far fv. | managed to fill orders and carry on business. 4 As the strike is still on, the children and families to whom Schmitz so_pathetically referred must still be crying for bread. Schmiitz received $1144 53 for doing in secret the work the real union men had refused. “That’s the kind of a union man that Eugene E. Schmitz is.” 3 g m g his hearers that if e of the Forfy-second Dis never have cause to regret thelr favorably of his fellow mended them to the This closed the e of his hearers g's campaigning. 1 EUGENE E. SCHMITZ FOR SAKE OF PROFITS ON CONTRAGTS FOR MAGHINER f > ALL PARTIES HAVE A TRY AT ORATORY Merry Order of Eagles Makes Room for Can- didateson Every Ticket HERE was talent from a number of the theaters in B'nal B'rith Hall last night to entertain the many hundreds that were tagged to attend the smoker given un- der the auspices of San Fran- cisco Aerie No. 5 of the Frater- nal Order of Eagles, under the direction of the following committee of arrange- ments: J. F. Cheatham (chairman), J. J. Sheridan, H. Tonnemacher, Otto Han- sen, Frank Dunn, J. W. Larsen, J. H. Pein, J. M. Moffitt, Charles Mitchell, Jerome Bassity, Samuel Mount and J. George Crowley. Oscar Hocks, the grand president of the order, was the presiding genius on the platform, and he was assisted by Vice President C. G. Nagle and J. F. Cheat- ham. The fun was started by Harry L Mulcreavy, who gave a talk on the fra- ternal features of the Order of Eagies. | Following this was a varied programme of vaudeville numbers, which included songs, specialties and the imposition of fines on members for either making too much or not enough noise. Those who contributed to the entertainment were Charles Oliver, W. Akers, Wiliiam Wil- son, Morgan and Charles, T. T. Cava- nagh, Cal_Davis, James Mackey, Fred Everet and a number of others who are stars at the Orpheum, Fischer's and other places of amusement. Prominent among the entertainers were the Waterman sis- ters, who rendered a song dedicated to the Eagles. Each of the singers was decor- ated with a_medal. There was also a three-round boxing match between Bob Harrington and Bob McCormack, referesd by Jerome A. Bassity. All Candidates Speak. At the close of the programme the affair turned into a political gathering free for all, and any one who had a candidate rushed him to the slatform to make a short address. As a talking mateh for the candidates it did not count for much, but as an exhibition of those who are seeking places it was a howling success. Among the many who were brought to the front was Joseph S. Tobin, who was ae- corded silence for a few moments, dur- ing which he gave his vi on the Mayoralty -contest and the necessity for good government. John Lackmann, can- didate for Sheriff, was in evidence, and Eugene E. Schmitz, who is running for Mayor, tried to say something. He was followed by George Dahlbender, Arthur Pisk, F. J. Laughrey, Dr. C. A. Glover and Harry Bahr, the candidate for Tax Collector, who put in an appearance and was given an ovation. Wells was not there. Next came a crowd of candidates for Supervisor until it seemed that there was no end to them. They were of all political partles and all feit happy be- cause they had had an opportunity to ad- dress a mixed audience.
