Y EPRESENTATIVES NNOUNCED THEIR OF BEEEN REFERRED TO THEM and conductors can be acquired in seven days, and the union has insisted by its demands for a flat rate that at the expiration of seven days its members are entitled to the same rate of wages as conductors, motormen and gripmen who hive been in the employ of the company for five years. In reference to clause 3 in the carmen’s document the railroad replies: The facts bearing upon this question have al- ready been largely stated. The cost of living, we bave already stated, is less in San Francisco than it is In other portions of the United States, while w ages are higher.

Second—The wages at present paid are be- low the standards obtaining in San Francisco for labor requiring equal or similar skill and application. Ihird—ihe wages at present pald are in- sufficient to maintaln the American standard | of living in San Francisco. | da: urth— The wealth produced jointly by the capital and ability of sald corporation and the labor and ability of its workmen is so great that the proposed increase can be made and et leave the corporation an undue .share -of #uch jointly produced wealth. Said union, referrifig to its proposals on file herein, concerning decrease in the hours of labor of ite members in the employ of sald corporation. gives these reasons why such de- crease should be made: First—The present practice keeps the work. men on duty a greater number of hours per than due regard for their health and tap- piness warrants or than- is consistent with | Feasonable consideration. for the safety of per- sons traveling on said corporation’s cars. Second—The proposed decrease is so moder- ate that it can be made without embarrassing | said corporation in the orderly and profiiable | handling o the traffic it is its business to handle. REPLIES TO DEMANDS. Attorney A. A. Moore, on behalf of the United Railroads in reply to the carmen, | says in part in a document which he has filed: The company specifically denfes that the | wages at present pald were established by agreement with the union aforesaid.. On the coptrary they were voluntarily fixed by the company in order to establish a cordial rela tion between it and fts_employes and with view of avolding all friction and dissension, and in order to secure that cordial co-operation on thg part of its employes which the company regarded as most advantageous In securing both For itself and the public the most efficient w vice The company denies that jts employes could at that time, or now, have justly asked a fur- ther increase of wages thah those voluntarily given. On the contrary the company insists that (hoh‘r-uhof Sy 7 then ena.bl:lh:d was higher than the rate of now to men heaged in street-car service by theee hindred and sixty companies in three hundred and six- h onatituting nearly all the street- the same c 5 :;’r companies in the United States. The company states that strest railway em ploves haxe mever ‘been classed as akilied T The union itself, and the ordinance of the city of San Francisco, declare ““ue degree of skill nqulnd ta -olonun. gripmen William F. Southard, | aging ten hours and three minutes, earns $2 51. | If he works every day, as he can, his annual | compensation is £016 15. By actual ascertain- ment from.the company’s pav roll, a number of its men have earned, during the last quarter, $250. or_at the rate of $620 per annum. It must be assumed that by various causes there will be I!ur.sl-t of a day or more here and there. Experi- ence has shown that most of the lost time is at the volitian of the men. It is a fact that for the quarter last past more than 50 per. cent of the regular carmen in this company's employ have received each $200 or more, or at the rate £ $500 or more per annum. In H‘lrrfl'\"o to the hours of labor the company 3 The company states that in handling-the vol- ume of its business during the morning and evening hours it is essential that it should make schedules of runs so as to cover this greater density of travel within certain limited | hours. A nine-hour day, to be finished within | ten and a half hours, would cause the company | to_employ so m extrs men, whose employ- | ment would be 5o chort & time, that the | company would be burdened with a very largely | increased, outlay, and the extra men thus em. ployed would receive-far less than the average rate of wages now paid to that class of men. Some men in a schedule so arranged would not have the nmmr'uml) of making more than_one round trip a d: nd if the men thus engaged were pald the av xnxfl rate the extra men now receive, to-wit. §2, the-company would be bur. dened with this' payment for-a single round trip. The result is’ that ‘the demands of the men as stated by them would Increase the Bross wages to be paid by the company 75 per cent, while it would yield to the individual man working the regular time an increase only of 20 | per cent, TIME SCHEDULES. The company further states that in the agree- ment made with-its employes on April-24, 1902, it was declared that: The United Railroads agrees that the hours of labor should not exceed ten per day, and that ail runs shall be.finished within fourteen hours of the commencement of | the Tun. When it came to putting this clause into cperation the men, in writing, requested the company tochange these hours and make the term of employment eleven hours per day, to be completed within fifteen hours. ~ The company affirmatively declares, based upon the best experiénce of street railway offi- cials, shat the hour schedule now in operation, and ‘which was requested by Its employes, i more perfectly adapted to the satisfactory.oper- atlon of street rallways than any other hour scheduic. It enables the company to satisfy the public demand with the fairest proportion of hours 1o its extra men’than any bther that can be devised. The sub-committee, ‘#T™its 'report to Messrs. Calhoun and Mahon, stated yes- terday that it had come to an agree- ment in many matters. Among the most important are. the. discontinuance of the compulsory membership in the com- pany’s hospital service; full liberty of men when off duty; the riding free of em- ployes on cars when off duty but still in uniform; that crews shall not be required to clean cars; that unemployed men when car lines are belng réconstructed . shall be given employms’ut when' possible; that employes shall have one day off in seven, and that the company will reserve space in its barns for union bulletin boards.

Also Tells Interesting Tale of Wandering Over the State. iR SO The casual visitors to the Probate De- partment of the Superfor Court at the City Hall yesterday witnessed a sight that is seldom seen in a courtroom. It was the spectacle of an S-year-old boy, a typical street gamin, standing upon the rostrum devoted to the business of the Judge and witnesses singing ‘‘Johnny Stole a Pumpkin,”” *The Irish Laborer” and verses from the popular melody, “Hi-lee, Hi-lo.” He sang as only a small hoy can sing, with little music, but con- siderable vim and expression to convince his hearers that, young as he was, he is just what it was claimed he was, a street singer. The singer'was Arthur Ward, the child of Percy Hall Ward and Clara Ward, professional mendicants, who have been traveling about this State for several vears begging and making a 1Iving off the earnings of the little singer and their two other children, Bertha, aged 16, and Frank, aged 7. g The Wards, father and mother and brood, were present in court in response to a citation issued on petition of Secre- tary M. J. White of the California So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, who wants to be appointed guardian for the children and as such rounding them. Two of the children, Bertha and Frank, are already in the custody of White,” having been taken from the parents last month, while the little singer is still with his father and mother. He is a very bright little fellow and when he got through telling the court how he had sold candy and jewelry in numerous towns in-the State, including The court made no order in the case yesterday, but allowed the children to re- main as they were, the little fellow with his parents and ‘the other two with W hite.

Commissioners vesterday and declared insane. He was sent to tae Ukiah Asylum. The Japanese became very violent while he was con- fined in the Emergency Hospital and it took two men to hold him while he was being put into a hack to be sent away. FOUGHT WHILE O HONEYMOON Miséry of W. L. Werner Begins on Day of Marriage. Sues for Divorce, Though He ‘Was Wedded Only Three Months Ago. I A S William L. Werner was married less than three months ago, but be is already tired of the life of a benedict. He longs for the freedom of bachelorhood ence more, and in a suit for divorce he filed vesterday against Amelia Werner, to whom he was married in San Rafael last March, he relates a story of matrimonial strife that according to his coraplaint | commenced on the very day he took unto himself a spouse. He seeks his divorce on | the ground of crueity. He alleges that from the day of his marriage his wife has persistently refused to prepare his meals for him, that she | frequently slapped his face and applied all sorts of bad names to him and his mother. He charges also that Mrs. Wer- | ner is fickle, alleging that since her mar- riage she has corresponded with Wiliiam Burnham of Oakland, and also sent him her photograph. ’ All such actions, charges the unhappy husband, caused him the keenest mental anguish, and his cup of misery was filled to overflowing, he says, when his young wife deliberately destroyed his photo- graph and those of his sisters. To make matters worse, he alleges, Mrs. Werner would frequently remain out until mid- night, and when he wou'd ask of her in the kindest manner possible where she had spent her evening she would tell him that it was none of his business. Suits for divorce were also filed by El- len Crotty against James Crotty for| neglect, Georgina P. Betteley against Al- bert C. Betteley Yor cruelty and Bert Yeamans against Julia Yeamans for de- sertion. Interlocutory decrees of divorce were granted to Martha J. D. Bartlett from Jo-| seph L. Bartlett for desertion, Antonio | Taranto from Egtemia Taranto for cru- | elty and Adeline Girard from Ernest Girgrd for desertion. ¢ e The elephant has a trunk.

The legality of the boycott will be de- termined in the mear future by United States Circyit Judge Morrow . upon the hearing of a petition filed on behalf of Michael Hallanan of New York ask- ing that the Journeyman Horseshoers’ Union, Local No. 2, be enjonied from boycotting his vulcanized rubber hose shoe pads. Judge Morrow issued a tem- porary restraining order and cited the de- fendants to appear before him on’ Mon- day, June 22, at 10 a. m., and show cause why the order should not be made per- manent. Mr. Hallanan alleges in his petition that the union named arbitrarily dictated the material that should be used and the men who should be employed in Hallanan's | shops, and he charges that the defend- ants have unlawfully conspired and con- | federated to prevent the sale of his goods. f DRUMMER THORNE SWEARS. | The petition Is backed by sevral afi- davits, the most complete of which is tHat of Edward D. Ehorne of St. Louls, Mo. Mr. Thorpe is traveling for Mr. Hallanan. for the purpose of selling the pads.

He alleges also that on | May 5 of this vear ¢he executive commit- | tee of the Journeyman Horseshoers’ Un- fon of this city held a meeting at his re- quest for the purpose of considering the | advisability of lifting the boycott, and after the session made him the following | leply through Willilam Storey, president | f the union: | on under which the union w}fxfi l';'l:‘eyn?n:l?::‘ boycott would be for Hal- lanan to unionize his horseshoeing shop in New York and employ none but members of the International Journeymen Horseshoers’ Union and adopt the label of said union for uge in his shop. Mr. Thorne alleges further that a fine varying from $5 to $100 had been declared against every member of the umion found using Hallanan’s pads. INJUNCTION @& .
