A strike of the laundry workers, conditional on the result of their employers’ action upon a demand for an advance in wages and a shorten- ing of the hours of labor, has made an advance in the price: laundry work more than a bare pos: Recently the employes of ‘the local laun- dries formally submitted to the Laundry- men's Assoclation a demand for an ad- vance of 10 per cent in their wages and a of their working time from ten hours. The employers have had al meetings at the Palace Hotel lately for the purpose of considering the demands, but as vet they have arrived at no definite understanding as to what ac- tion they will take. It is understood that at a meeting to be held next Saturday afternoon they will sesk a compromise whereby both sides will make conces- sions—that is, give and accept an advance of 50 per cent of the figure demanded. It 1s claimed by the employers' asso- ciation that the demand of a 10 per cent | raise, nine hours’ work and the attending over- time, really means to the laundries an ad- vance of 25 per cent and will work as a hardship against the local employers in two important respects. First, it is claimed, to proprietors of French laundries, who are permitted at present to work their men for eleven hours. If the nine-hour rule is made effective with the big laun- dries the French concerns, it is claimed, will have a competitive advantage of two hours a day, and a second complaint of the employers is that the laundries of Oakland, which can compete easily with those on this side of the bay, are not in- cluded in the demand for a wage ad- vance. At any rate it is conceded by the local employers that they will be forced to crease muke some kind of an advance in order | to avold a strike and in anticipation of that event they are already planning for a raise in their prices. They have prac- tically decided that for white shirts, which are now laundried for 10 cents, there will be an advance to 12% cents, and an increase to 3 and 4 cents will be made on collars and cuffs, for which the patron now pays-2% cents. The prices on other articles of male and female apparel are to be advanced proportionately. The raise of prices will be decided at the meeting Saturday, when the association expects to answer the demands made by the employes. S Prisoners Held to Answer. A. Robinson, a colored man, was held to answer before the Superior Court by Po- lice Judge Fritz yesterday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon for strik- ing Arthur Howeth of 157 Minna street in Union square, February 23, with a club and knocking one of his eyes out. Emil Schmidt was held to answer on a similar charge by Police Judge Cabaniss for strik- ing Joseph McGenity of 349 Minna street with a hammer on February 19. e Additional Money for Hospital. City Attorney Lane advised the Board of Supervisors yesterday that in order to provide an additional sum to complete a hogpital building by submission to the electors of a proposition to incur a bond- ed indebtedness, the board shall simply state in the declaratory ordinance such amount of bonded indebtedness as will be necessary in addition to that already pro- vided for in the tax levy, | of Peter J.

Y5 LANGHORNE OPENED AL MAIL | Friends of McWade Tell Consul’'s Side of the Story. A Friends in this city of United States Consul General Robert McWade have come forward in defense of his action in ejecting "Assistant Consul General M. Langhorne from the consulate at Canton, as told in yesterday’s Call. | *“McWade has a vicious temper,” one of them, “but he must have had | pretty good reasons for the heroic meas- | ures I understand he adopted toward his assistant. “McWade is unpopular, all right,” said | Dr. Irones, surgeon of the steamship Cop- tic, “but his unpopularity is mostly the result of jealousy. He has made a good | record in Canton. He has cultivated the | right kind of Chinese and his influence with the native merchants is a very sore spot with the Consuls of other countries.” Canton, the When McW. reached story told by his friends runs, there was a big bundle of personal mall awaiting him. Every letter, McWade claims, had been tampered with. Some had. been | frankly opened and plainly resealed. Others, it is claimed, bore evidence of having been unsealed by the hot steam process and of having been carefully re- closed after the opener, presumably, had perused the contents. 1t is claimed by friends of McWade that purpose of discovering, if possible, some- thing against McWade which would aid his enemies In bringing about his down- fall. Langkorne, in his own defense, indig- nantly denies McWade's sweeping accu- sation, but is sald to have admitted open- ing two letters. These dressed in the same handwriting. Upon the arrival of the second letter Langhorne concluded, he claims, communications of official Importance. | He opened the second letter, and found | in it a complaint at the lack of attentien | paid by the Consul General to a former communication. This, to claim, convinced him of the possible opened, to find, however, that it referred to purely personal matters. Langhorne is well liked in Canton and | takes with him to Washington a protest from prominent Americans in Canton and from a number of his brother Consuls McWade, or “Fighting Bob,” as he is known among his Oriental acquaintances.
