PHILADELPHIA, March 6—A gerieral strike against the American Bridge Com- | pany has been called by the executive board of the International Association of | Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. | This order includes all construction work = hands of the company throughout the United States and Canada and in- | volves thousands of men in all sections. | When the order was received by House, | Smith and Bridge Workers' Union No. 3 | of this city strikes were called on all op- erations where the American Bridge Com- pany’s iron was used in construction, al- though the erecting contracts were in the hands of general contractors, who pur- chaged the iron from the American Bridge Company. Frank Buchanan, general president of the international union, and another mem- ber of the executive board, came to this city. As the result of a conference be- tween representatives of several con- trauctors and the business agents of the local union the men were ordered back to work to-day on the operations in this city not being erected by the American Bridge Company. The American Bridge Company is sald to have large construction contracts at many points. It is stated here that in New York 1500 men are idle, while Pitts- burg, Albany, Buffalo and'St. Louis are said to be seriously affected. X The union has taken steps to prevent if possible the subletting of construction contracts. ~ An official of the union said to-day; “In New York the company locked out the Holsting Engineers’ Union. That ac- tion forced between 400 and 500 of our en- gineers to idleness. It was therefore thought that if the fight between us wae to be forced by them it might as well come now. The New York unlon demands $400 per day after May 1 and that is be- | low the scale demanded by the Bricklay- ers’ Union.” . | Other causes for the strike are sald to | be the effort of the American Bridge Com- pany to reduce the number in gangs of jriveters, who operate pneumatic hammers, and the employment of laborers on work which the bridgemen say they should per- form. | | | | | Ogden. | forty left in the empl JAPANESE LABOR PROVES FAILURE and Verbally Flays|Union Pacific Railroad Gives Oriental Help a Trial. Little Brown Men Are Found to Have but Slight Staying Power. 8 S Special Dispatch to The Call. OMAHA, Neb., March 6.—The Union Pa- cific Railroad has deccided that its ex- periments in employing Japanese ldbor must be classed as a failure. The mo- tive of the railroad in making these ex- periments was not to cheapen labor, but because of the belief that a colonv of Japanese in a strange country would stick, more steadfastly to their work and show | | better results than the white laborer. The problem of getting efficient section hands on a Western tailroad has always been a difficult one. The' section gangs have been almost entirely made up of ig- norant foreigners. It was the idea also of the Union Pacific that the Japanese would show a valuable quality in quick- ness of mind. The failure of the experiment is due to the Jap himself, for while he was at once volatlle and adaptive he was shown to have little of the endurance, steadfast- ness and perseverance expected in him. He proved himeelf light in physique, stay- ing qualities and moral steadiness. The Union Pacific paid the Japanese its regular wages to section hands, namely, $12 a d with free houses and free coal. The raflroad made its experiment on the section gangs between Omaha and It employed 415 of the Japanese Of these there are now oy of the road. found, considered section hands. The Orientals, ‘it w four days a good week's time while la- boring. Five Japanese would do the amount of work on an average of four white men. They are great users of tobacco, but | rarely indulge in the use of oplum. They are quick witted and independent, with a love for wandering and adventure. The Japanese, it was found, were quite 0ppo- site in character to the Chinamen. The former are free with their money and lov- ers of a good time; the latter hoards his wages and lives frugally.

VALLEJO, March 6.—Pleasant weather, an abundance of electric light and a great outpouring of people made this the red letter night of the Eagles' str-et ¢arnival. A special train was run from Napa and brought a big delegation of Eagles and their friends. The visitors were met at the depot by the Vallejo Aerie and a brass band and were escorted into town. A conspicuous feature of the procession was a number of prominent local Eagles perched on the hurricane deck of three huge camels. The streets in the central portion of the city and the shows were packed by a good-natured, jostling crowd until after midnight. e s uadi Minister Powell Gains His Point.

FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, | i | them to continue loyal to the rallroad MARCH 7, 1903 Women may write about their ills to Mrs. Pinkham, and avoid the questioning of a male physician. They can tell their story without reservation to her; she never breaks a confidence, and her advice is the best in the world. The questions asked of a woman by a male physician are embarrassing, and often revolting to a sensitive nature. In consequence the whole truth is not told ; this makes it difficult for female troubles to be successfully treated even by the best physicians, and is the reason so many women grow worse rather than better. A woman understands a woman better than a man, — there are symptoms which ‘sick women have that a man cannot understand, simply because he is a man, but the whole truth may be told to Mrs. Pinkham, and her vast experience enables her to give advice which leads to a cure. All women who suifer should secure Mrs. Pinkham’s advice; it costs nothing but a letter addressed to her at Lynn, Mass. Female troubles are real troubles, and must be treated understandingly. . For a quarter of a century Mrs. Pinkham’s advice and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound have been helping women to get strong and well, and her great file of letters prove that more than a million women have been restored to health and strength by her advice and her medicine when all other means have failed. 'When you go to a druggist for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, do not let him persuade you to try something which he says is just as good; there is nothing just as good, because Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine holds the record for the largest number of cures of any female medicine in the world. s.,A‘_ this time of the year.

At the Wabash headquarters President Ramsey reported that the service throughout the “system was proceeding without anything unusual. The statement issued to-night by the officials ofgthe Firemen's and Trainmen's brotherhoods says: We are taking the necessary legal steps to protect our legal rights and we belleve we can furnish the court ample facts and sufficient reasons for vacating the order. Until this has been done these organizations will respect the order of the court. We adyise our officers and members, not only on the Wabash system, but elsewhere, to do likewise. This statement was shown to President Ramsey and Colonel W. H. Blodgett, counsel for the Wabash, and they both expressed the opinion that the notice to the Wabash employes to continue work- ing for the present as usual and that a strike is not to be called will be very pleasant news to most of the employes. Regarding the probabilities of a strike President Ramsey said to-night: In case the injunction is disslved I think & strike is quite likely. In case of the dissolu- tion it will probably be needed also by the leaders. "The Wabash employes will not go out until ordered to do so. ' Bieike may Inconveniénce the Wabash for some time, but It will not tie IIP the system to any exient until the boycott is ordered at the different terminal and junction points.
