Registrar Walsh last night made the following statement for publication in The Call: “After deliberate reflection I have reached the conclusion that a voter who desires to vote a mixed ticket should not stamp the circle at the head of any party column, but should place the X after the name of every candidate for whom he desires to vote.” In exy tion of the foregoing the Registrar says he reaches the conclusion from the fa to edu. that it the akes too much time ate ection officers into in- el of the new ballot law.

Some of these agreements are in direct tion of the law relating to elections. tories told relating to shady transactions in the raising of money to enable Ruef to squander coin in the campaign for Schmitz would fill a page of this paper. | It is asserted positively that one joint on | Ellis street was squeezed for $1600. An- | other joint was held up for $600. If the people of San Francisco knew ot | the true state of affairs in the Ruef camp, the stampede of honest voters to Henry J. Crocker would bury the Ruef regime be- yond all hope of political resurrection. In anticipation of the general opening up of all kinds of vicious and degrading Joints under the protection of Ruef, gambling in violation of law is already in full swing in several sections of the city. Let every honest citizen ask, “How can Ruef afford to spend $50,000 for the re- election of Schmitz?” LAB.R TAKES ALARM. Honest promoters of the Union Labor party who gave their support to Mayor Schmitz two years ago are taking alarm, knowing that the party which they helped to organize will be held responsible in a measure for the degradation that will fall on San Francisco in the event of Ruef’s continuation at the head of munici- pal affairs, It is no surprise that promi- nent labor leaders are joining hands with other good citizens to save the city from the disgrace of Ruef domination. If Schmitz is re-elected, Ruef will sit down at the Mayor’s desk and appoint ali the commissioners provided for in the charter. A prominent Democrat remarked last night: “Ruef’s reign may become so op- s committee may be necessary to protect the community.” Attention of Republicans and Demo- crats, Union Labor men and non-par- tisans, is directed to the frank and manly statement of Henry J. Crocker published herewith. Mr. Crocker is an honorable man. His election to the office of Mayor will reflect honor on the city and impart new life to industrial enterprises. He ap- peals to thg intelligence, the patriotism and the spirit of public enterprise in the citizenship of the community for support at the election to-morrow. His only com- petitor in the race is Eugene E. Schmitz, a man who may mean well, but whose weakness and general unfitness for the office of chief executive of the city must be plain to every clear-minded citizen. Schmitz is owned, controlled and ex- hibited by Ruef. If he were so minded he could not emancipate himself from the Ruef environment, because Ruef discov- ered him, brought him to public notice and is now supplying the meauns to parade him before the people. At a meeting held yesterday by the Brewery Workmen the action of Secre- tary R. Speck, who announced that the union was solid for Lane for Mayor, was repudiated. George Hook, secretary of the executive committee, announces that the members of the union are left free to vote for whom they please.

Crocker Water Front | Republican League, Thomas Mec- Connell president, proves beyond the shadow of doubt that Mayor Schmitz was in the scheme to take the transport repair work from the working- |men of San Francisco and transter it to | Mare Island. Thomas McConnell tells the | story in the following communication: HEADQUARTERS OF THE WATE: FRONT UNION MEN'S HENRY J, CROCKER 1, 1803.—Editor Call: It s i to the workingmen themselves to methods adopted by the hirelings Ruef to deceive and mislead the nen of this city and array them as a class against their employers and the business men of this city. Their latest move I find to be a circular letter headed “‘Union Men and iow Workers, Attention!" signed by A. D. , Business Agent Bollermakers and Iron Shipbuilders of America. Sald circulars are distributed all over the city, telling the work- | ingmen that politics wiil not | unions and denouncing those union men as cowards and fakers who are advising the work- ingmen to keep their unions clear of politics. | Mz, Porter is telling the workingmen to vote | for that “‘tried and true friend (of Boss Ruef), | Euge: Schmitz, and let that be your union motto,” he €ays.

Porter, who was employed at the Mare Island Navy Yard at that time, was do- ing his best to take the tranSport’ work away from this city, ably backed by Abe Ruef's man for Mayor, Schmitz, who went to Vallejo sev- eral times to heip’ Porter out and who was taken by Mr. Porter to the navy yard and in- troduced by him to the commandant of the vard. Mayor Schmits by his action in this matter broke his pledge to the workingmen of this city made in his Inaugural address, in which he sald: I tavor decidedly the establishment of the principles that goods of homeé manufacture should be given preference in all supplies for public institutfons. This I belleve to be in the interest of the manufacturers and mer- chants and workingmen of this city, who pay our taxes and support our local government, a& against foreign and external manufacturers and merchants who take their profits hence and contribute nothing to the support of our g ernment, our institutions or our wage earners Mr_ Porter at that time was a_ member of what {s known as the Trades and Labor Coun- efl of Vallefo. I never could find out what that organization was composed of, or what its objects were, outside of the fact that, like | Mayor Schmitz, they were great dispensers | of hot air. Mr. Porter saw fit to denounce as untrue the statements I made in my letter published in The Call of June 21, 1903. At a meeting of this hot air organization, held at Vallejo on June 23, 1903, Mr. Porter offered a set of resolutions ~ headed: ~‘‘Answer to letter of Thomas McConnell. ex-president Shipwrights® Association of San Francisco.”' Mr. Porter stated in his resolutions that the highest wages are pald mechanics at Mare Island. He denounced | as untrue that the workingman must forego his union principles when he works at Mare Island; that he is deprived of any privileges whatever; that wages are lower than else- < where, and that first-class workmen will not work at the navy yard. He stated that the wages paid the workingmen there are equal to the highest paid in the vicinity and that inducements were offered for the best work- ingmen of every craft to seek employment at Mare Island. The concluding part of my letter states: ! To Flash News From Dome of Call Building O-MORROW evening I the results of the mu- nicipal election will be signaled from the dome of The Call building, so that the news will be known at the earliest opportunity - to * citizens in every part of the city. If Henry J. Crocker, the | Republican candidate, is elect- ed, red lights and rockets will announce it. 3 If Eugene E. Schmitz, the Union Labor leader, is victori- ous, green flares and rockets will illuminate the sky. If Franklin K. Lane, the Democratic nominee, is declared the choice of the voters, white signals will be set off. Remember the color of the signals: A stereopticon will throw returns for the entire munici- pal ticket upon a white screen in front of The Call building and a rapid service of bulle- tins will convey the results of the election to the people. Bulletins will also be shown at the Oakland office of The Call, 1118 Broadway. 5 distupt _their | | b6 cents per day ¢ e A and Geary streets. \ minute speeches will be the rule. i e e “It is a positive fact that large numbers of first class mechanics in San Francisco of | every trade will not work at the navy yard, for the reason that they can get better wages and better treatment in this city, clear of spotters and spies, where they can call their souls thelr own, where they can stand for their rights like men, and where the only qualifications required In seeking employment are falthful service and mechanical ability. Therefore, it seems to me, as a workingman, that the business interests of this city—that the interests of the working classes of this city—demand that the transport work, or any other work, shall not be taken away from San Franclsco In the interests of Vallejo or any other place. We should center all our forces for the protection of the business Interests of this city, and for the advancement and pros- perity of San Francisco and the working classes.”’ In answer to Mr. A D. Porter's resolutions I furnished the following facts to the Trades and Labor Council at Vallefo on July 12, 1902. I furnished them with a statement published in the Vallejo Evening Chronicle of August 5 1809, which stated that on that date Congress- man Metcalf, State Senator Luchsinger and Thomas McConnell were before the wages board endeavoring to have the wages of ship- wrights raised to the standard of $6 per day, which the wages board stated were unvarying in San Francisco, where there was never known to be more than one class of ship- wrights. At Mare Island there are four classes of shipwrights with four scales of wages 24, first class, to $2 88, i Luchsinger xumuheg the S rd with facts gathered from the em. :‘l:;::abl:!lnll business men of San l-‘runr'lsc which showed that lhl; “ngestrvo?r‘\dzjhge:t:rtn o Island were e B ey leas than the wages paid in v, and he stated that where there are ::?)um:lx:jv' ratings in every trade, it is difficult fo get first class men at Mare lsland. In a statement published in the Vallejo ‘Evening Chronicle of July 10, 1899, it was stated that the wages paid following trades, all of which have four classes, is !fl; below that which is paid by private firms, an that men go elsewhere to work in preference to staying at the Nayy-yard, and states that only 2 few days ago cards were sent out for ten Mmachinisté; g0 Which only five responded. The Trades mentloned are: Sparmakers and ship- wrights, blacksmiths, flange turners and hei‘;‘y Torgers, house joimers, house carventers drill’ ers. riveters, shipsmiths and shipfitters an blockmakers. POOR WAGES AT YARD. Vallejo Times of July 18, 1899, states thata Sorkingman recelving $3 per day in San Francisco Is doing better than a man at the Navy-yard getting $3 75 per day, and that at the Navy-yard the men are compelled to pay $2 per month to the Mare Island Ferry Company. mes McCudden stated at a meet- LA Association of Vallejo ing of the Merchant: t the Na yard is very unsteady o b never SAwW Wages at in forty years he At inla statement was published In the Vallefo Morning News of July 25, 1890 Tn a statement published in the Vallejo Chronicle of September 17, 1899, it is stated that none but scabs and rats will accept em- ployment at the Navy-yard. The Vallejo srning News tells us that “‘there can be no effective denfal of the assertion that mechanics in San Francisco get greater wages than men doing similar work on the yard. % The following resolution was passed by the American Federation of Labor in annual con- vention assembled: There is a law in the United States nav: ards which divides the various trades and occupations into several classes, and the power to class men is invested in the foreman, as a result of which many first-class men aré classed as second and third class, and who must either accept the decision or quit their jobs, and believing that only first- Glass men should be employed in all depart- ments of cnnalr}l}lvll(;n a:g l{!pflh‘ of United States vessels, therefore S Resolved, That the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor Is hereby instructed to assist all unions to have sald laws amgended so that there is only one class under which men shall be employed at the standard rate of wages.' Mr. Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, telis us that we insist and bear in mind the fact that in aiding our fellow workers in the Government employ we have no right to lose sight of or hazard the interests of the great body of workers em- ployed by Individual companies or corpora- tiors. But enough of this. Mr. Porter knows those facts as well as I do; he also knows that 1 could keep on &tating them for the next week, Where were you, Mr. Porter, when 1 was fighting for the men at Mare Island? I never saw you there. Do you undertake to tell the boller-makers how they shall vote? Mr. Porter, I have been well known to the boiler-makers of this city for twenty years, and they know that I was always their friend; and I know, Mr. Porter, that the boller-makers are the best union men in this State and that they were always on the firing line in all the iron workers' battles; and 1 know that they will allow no men or set of men to tell them how they shall vote, while you, Mr. Porter and Mayor Ruef-Schmitz, were trying to force the work_out of this city to be done by scabs I was helping the boller-makers to get work. I attended their meetings and helped them all I could and I succeeded in getting employment on the transports for a number of boiler-mak- ers from my own employer at that time, Mr. Ben Dallerup, at the highest wages, shortest hours and best treatment that boiler-makers ever received in this city. ‘We want no anarchists here, Mr. Porter. The workingmen of this city will not allow them- selves to be arrayed as a class against their employers, Mr. Porter, by you, Ruef-Schmitz or any one else. The business men of this city are all right, Mr, Porter, and the working- men of this city are going to elect Henry J. how they shall vote, while you, Mr. Porter, and thereby inspire confidence in our employers, the business men, and keep prosperity and happiness among all the people, and keep in San Francisco all the work we can get. do that the Republican party is the party for us, and Henry J.

Ottawa Government Soon May Seek the Precious Deposits, —————— Bpecial Dispatch to The Call, TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 1.—Mayo Lake, adjacent to the Stewart River In the Brit- ish Yukon, has its bottom lined with gold. How to secure the golden riches is the | problem now confronting mining engineers of the Klondike. Five rich gold-bearing creeks are drained into Mayo Lake, For centurles they have been sweeping their auriferous deposits into its bottom. Strangely enough, the lake is bottomless so far as soundings have been made to ascertain its depth. Its shores were prospected this | summer and found to contain gold in paying quantities. Ledge and Steep Creeks, on which rich pay dirt was struck last summer and which are now ylelding good results, flow into Mayo Lake. Min- to and Highat, two other rich creeks, flow into Mayo Lake on the opposite side. ledge Creek forms a qeita extending into the lake a quarter of a mile. At the farther end of the deita the accumulation of grave land silt comes to an abrupt termination. With almost a perpendicu- lar face it deflects into a subaqueous abyss. The gravel of the delta i1s found rich in gold. These facts lead Neeland, the Canadian Government Surveyor, and other engl- neers to conclude that untola riches lie at the bottom of the lake. Nevertheless, the lake seems to lle in a great caldron or crater of such depth as to make gravity drainage probably impossible. It is much deeper than Stewart River and could not be carried off in that great natural artery. Above towers a huge range of mountains containing gold quartz ledges, from which flow into the lake numerous auriferous streams. The lake is twenty miles long by one and a half to two and a half wide. Soundings at the mouth of Ledge Creek failed to find bottom after reaching a depth of %00 feet. The Ottawa government will be asked to investigate, through some of its best engineers. Stewart River miners believe the lake's bottom would produce more gold than the entire Klondike. —_———————— WASHINGTON; Nov. 1.—Former Lieutenant Lewis G.

The strike of the smelter employes, followed by the sympathetic strike of the millmen, which began early in September, has greatly crippled the work in ore treatment plants. These plants are working now with full or only partly limited forces and.the output 1s approaching normal. The strike of the miners at Cripple Creek, inaugurated to aid the millmen, virtually stopped shipments to mills and smelters.” Now, howeves, 3000 non-union miners are at work and ore is being hoist- ed and shipped for treatment. Tonnage has fallen off one-half at Cripple Creek and during the past two months a shrink- age of $3,000,000, mainly at Cripple Creek, has resulted. The October output was 43,500 tons, worth $1,112,000. ————— NO MORE EARLY MILK. Chicago Dairymen Will Make No Deliveries Before 8 A. M. CHICAGO, Nov. 1.—Fresh milk and cream for breakfast will be a luxury here- after, for the milk-wagon drivers’ new winter schedule goes into effect to-mor= row morning. This schedule prevents the delivery of milk and cream before 8 o'clock a. m. between November 1, 1908, and April 1, 1904, except on Sundays and holidays. Announcement of the change was made through circular letters to the customers yesterday. The letters contained the or- der from the Milk-wagon Drivers’ Union, from which there is no appeal. Milk and dairy companies are satisfied with the ar- rangement—in fact, it is part of an agree- ment between the union and the milk dealers, as the late delivery of milk in cold weather means a saving of about 25 per cent in the number of bottles broken by the frost. ——————————— Candidate for Auditor. ‘Willjar Broderick, the Democratic can- didate for Auditor, while in office in 1897 allowed funds to be overdrawn so that school teachers could not be paid.
