WS SabF 5 | CROCKER'S GENEROSITY. Am Incident of the Hard Times in This City. Every day as the campaign progresses it brings forward some business man who is) anxious to show his appreciation of what Henry J. Crocker has done for the city and its workingmen in the past. The lat- est is Charles C. Bemis, president of the Consolidated Giant Powder Company, who knew whereof he spoke when he sald at his office in the Hayward building yesterday I see that lots of men are busily enzaged now in ing up all the good things they the way of generosity or benevo- e gort, and it seems to me that Henry J scker ought to get his share of the credit for a few things that 1 know he has done to help. th its workingmen. n the hard times was being ¢ or idle men worl ulevard Assoclation n to bufld the bou- Dewey Boulevard, that was empl levard, now known as extending from the Almshouse to Ingleside.

There is not the least doubt in my mind that he will be th~ next Mayor of San Francisco. edasan g CRITICIZES SCHMITZ. Thomas McConnell Says the Mayor Is Not a Friend of Labor. Judge Van Nostrand presided over a very good Republican meeting in Ein- tracht Hall on Twelfth street, near Fol- som, last night. This district is strong- Iy upion labor, but the citizens turned out and listened to the standard bearer and judged for themselves what manner of man he is. That Mr. Crocker im- pressed his audience is putting it mildly. He aroused them to enthusiasm and even those who are opposed to his candidacy listened attentively to his address and applauded his sentiments. Mr. Crocker made an appeal to the vot- ers in behalf of good government. He said this would not be his last visit to their section of the city, as he wanted to Jearn of its needs and see that they are looked after. Hls address was short and to the point. He did not assail she other cantlidates, nor did he praise them. He simply made a manly appeal for the votes of his constituents and promised if elect- ed Mayor of the city le wouid give the people an honorable administration. Mr. Crocker was cheered at all times and was gratified at the generous reception he received. ‘ < John 8. Partridge, one of the party orators, made an effective speech to the assemblage. He pointed out the absolute necessity of upholding the party of Roose- velt, as it meant bread and butter to the workingmen of the city. He declared that prosperity had come to this city because of the wisdom of the Republican national policy. He extolled the candidates on the municipal ticket and advised his auditors that it would be to their interest to elect the entire ticket. Theodore 8. Lunstedt also addressed the voters and was glven a kindly reception. Mr. Lunstedt sald if elected Supervisor he would administer the duties of his of- fice in a manner that would be an honor to the city and himself.

But when the union men of this city did form a party and put a ticket in the fleld the mem- bers of my union considered it their duty to “buckle on their armor’’ and get on the firing | line with their fellows and assist in every way to make a success of the Union Labor party and to elect the Union Labor ticket. During that campalgn our union did something that it had never done before during the ffty years of its existence in this city. 1 meeting for the purpose of inviting Eugene Schmitz and the other Union Labor candi- dates to attend and address our members. Mayor Schmitz and the other candidates at- tended and we gave them a very enthusiastic reccption. I presided at that meeting and dur- ing the campaign 1 attended numerous other meetings and spoke in favor of the Union La- bor ticket. It did not take us long after elec- tion to find that the Union Labor party was a bubble and a snare. At that time our union had a serious problem to solve. It was a mat- ter that was striking at the very existence of our union. It was a matter of two scab shipyards, one in Alameda and the other in Oakiand, ' endeavoring, and succeeding iIn a great measure, in taking away from San Fran- cisco and the union men of this city generally, and also the businéss men, the work on the repairing of ships on the water front of this clty, to_be done in Oakland and Alameda by scats. They were endeavoring to rob us ship- wrights of our means of obtaining a living, They were endeavoring to take the very bread and bytter out of the mouths of ourselves and ltmlh‘. SCHMITZ'S DEAF EAR. Naturally, we were greatly agitated over this. We called several meetings and wrestled with the question as best we could. The names of several prominent men were mentioned, in- cluding Mayor Schmitz, to whom we might look for assistance and advice. We looked upon Schmitz as our Mayor, the Union Labor man for whom we had dobe so much and whose expressions of grand sentiment in his inaugural address carried us away. He promised us that he would try to see that the water front should be brought under the control qf the city and that goods of home manufactufe should have the preference. Our union finally decided to’do everything in its power to hold the work in San Francisco. A large sum of money was set aside to pay (he expenses of having that business properly attended to, and I was ap- pointed and given full power to act in all mat- ters concerning this bueiness. My first act was to address the following letter to Mayor Shipwrigbts' Hall, 10_Fol “Shipwrights' Hall, olsom street, S Francisco, January 20, 1902 e “Hon. Bugene B, Schmits, Mayor, City— Dear Sir: Iam instructed by the Shipwrights' Assoclation of San Franelsco to consult with you and draw your attention to matters of great importance to this association, as well as to the business interests of a large body of business men on the city front, and the inter- ests of the city generally. “If you will appoint @ time and place at your earliest convenience to meet me, I will explain_the whole matter to you.

You did not see fit. to acknowledge the receipt of that letter, “I desire to inform you that during the fifty years that the Shipwrights' Assoclation has been in existence you are the first public official that has ever ignored the communica- tions of our assoclation. “I have represented our association for sev- eral years and during that time I have com- municated With every class of business and public men. I have now in my possession letters from the late President McKinley, the Secretary of the Navy. our Senators and Congressmen, ad- mirals, captains and other officials connected with the Mare Island Navy Yard, all on busi- ness concerning our assocation, and we found that our communications were acted on promptly and that our association and myself were treated with the highest respect, “1 am greatly disappointed by your action in this matter. for while our assoctation was assisting to elect you, we thought that we were esslsting to elect a man with whom we could consult on matters concerning the wel- fare of our assoclation, as well as the wel- fare of the community at large. “This matter was one of business, and if you had given me the opportunity to lay the facts before you. you would have found that it was your plain duty to attend to them. Respetttully yours, “THOMAS McCONNELL." And there the question rested so far as Mayor Bchmitz and our assoclation was con- cerned. Neither our assoclation nor myself have ever heard a word or received a_ line from Mayor Schmitz on the subject. But we got along very well without Mayor Schmitz. We made « gallant fight against those scab ship- yards, and, assisted by the shivowners and business men of this city, who refused to have their work dofle in those yards. and also -by the City Federatiom. we won out, hands down, and succeeded in making union yards and men in both places. A HOT AIR MAYOR. That fs our experience with the Labor Union Mayor. Now we are told that there is a Labor Unfon ticket in the fisld, with that “‘tried and true” hot air dispenser at its head, afid he is trying. to make the workingmen of this city Lelfeve that there is a Union Labor party now in existence. A short time ago thé Union Labor men de- clded to walt upon Mayor Schmitz and ask him the question whether he was with them or against them. On August7, 1002, the Union Labor Central Club told the workingmen of this city, over the signatures of their commit- tee—T. Zante, H. M. Burnett and Harry A. Knox—that the Ruef-Parry wing of the Union Labor party were pirates. George Abiers of the Teamsters' Union and Mr. Morlarity of the Engineers' tells us that Ruef and Parry are bolstering up a_tottering cause, and Mr. Holland of the Hackmen de- nounces Parry and Ruef as traitors. And now that noiseless inventor of the polit- ical machine, Gavin McNab, puts forward once again bis man, Franklin K. Lane, and the Ex- aminer telis us why Franklin K.

Sensible Demo- crats, desiring the prosperity and bet- terment of the ecity, will lend their sup- port to Mr. Crocker in this campaign. Votes given to Lane will be thrown away | There are indications at this time that | the Republican vote on November 3 will approximate 25,000. The number of regis- tered Republicans s about 30,00. The good attendance at Republican meetings in the very heart of the big Unton Labor districts signifies a change in public sen- tment which is exceedingly favdrable to the Republican cause. The party organ- ation in every district of the city is ef- ctive. The prediction is made at Ri publican headquarters that Crocker will carry the Twenty-eighth Assembly Dis- their energies to discover a few Repub- lican business men Who are not actively supporting the candidaey of Henry J.
