C. F. Otterson, a car re- pairer, was on the witness stand and was testifying how small his pay was and how hard he had to work. Question by ques- tion he was plied by Attorney Moore and each time he answered in a straightfor- ward manner. At last the heartstrings of the man were touched by the direct ques- tion of “why he was u money from his sa of $75 a month.” For a moment the man wa: ilent; then his lips m d and he tried to force out an expla n, but his efforts were fruit- With choking sobs he rose from his A fellow carman tion that Ot- ir and left the room n whispered the expls terson’. nings 1 been eaten up by doctc s.

SWITCHM OF H | BELIE OCCUPATION BEFOR E COMMISSIONER MURASKY tated. “Otterson is ut if,” the carman en the witness had 1d bravely returned to | and, Attorney Moore in a urteous manner excused him- r asking such a direct question, saying he did not know of Otterson’s af- flictior EARNED $1000 A DAY. The first witness called yesterday morning by E. J. Live h was James Brown of San Mateo, who examines the | applicants for the positions of carmen on the road. He id there were two hiring days a week hat the number of men examined on each of these days averaged about forty. 1y were only about six vace , but all the men who called were seen and questioned. He told in detail how he examired the men. The company rarely engaged any who had not references or lette to show where they were last em; He divided the ap- plicants into three classes, the first being those who had trades and were unable to secure steady employment at them; sec- ondly, those who wanted to work on street cars on account of the healthful employ- ment; and lastly, those who had saved their money, had gone into business, failed in their venture and wanted to work for wages again. The applicants be- longed to a diversity of trades, with a few professional men. One man had replied, when he had asked him how much a day was the most he had ever earned, “One | thousand dollars; 1 was formerly a mem- ber of the New York Produce Exchange.” YESTERDAY, AND TRACK REPAIRER WHO N AT HAIGHT AND MARKET STREETS WHO TESTIFIED REGARDING THE UNPLEASANTNESS I ES HE IS ENTITLED TO A HIGHER WAGE THAN HE I8 RECEIVING. : i i —— % | During the afternoon session W. J. Mc- Cloud, a track rzpairer in the employ of the United Raflroads, was recalled by Livernash. He complained that the cor- poration classed him a only paid him $2 a day. McCloud thought his work was worth more money, as Le | had to use all kinds of tools, and atter many years' experience was skilled at his calling. Attorney Moore took him in | hand and attempted to -lraw a compari- son between his work and that of a sec- tion hand. C. F. Otterson testified that he was a car repairer at the Sacramento- street car- | house. He worked ten hours a day and through working in excess of these hours got his Sundays off. He sald that wors- ing these extra hours was very distaste- ful to him and he would prifer to wosk just the regular ten hours a day and get two Sundays off a month if he could ar- range it. He thought a car repairer should receive $3 a day and that the hours of labor should be cut down to nine hours. Thomas Kane, a switchman with a melancholy countenance and who is a fa- miliar figure at the junction of Haight and Market streets, was next called. He had more grievances than a policeman. He told how he had to watch the cars and keep a mental record of their time schedule, raise and lower cables, stand out in the street in all sorts of weather, and last, but not least, dodge every rub- ber-tired buggy, the occupants of which rarely cared whether the switchman was run over. His wages were $2 75 a day and he was a STRIKES CARTRIDGE WITH HAMMER AND LOSES HAND Sylvester O’Brien Finds Dangerous | Explosive While Exploring Vacant Store. Sylvester O'Brien, 16 years of age and residing at 1784 Ellis street, lost his left hand yes ay as the result of exploding a dynamite cartridge with a hammer. While exploring a vacant store with some other boys at the corner of Ellis and Pierce streets, young O'Brien found a large cartridge and, picking it up to ex- amine it, he carelessly struck it with a hammer which he carrled in his right | hand. The cartridge exploded, partly | tearing away the boy’s left hand. O'Brien was removed to the Central Emergency Hospital, where the remain- der of the injured hand was amputated. —_—ee————— ¢ Fountain Pens.
