THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, RIDAY, MARCH «NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALLAMEDA » (ORSETS WORRY [DGE TAPPANi Court Admits He Knows but Little About the Finer Features of Such Garments EVIDENCE OF EXPERTS Asks Attorneys to Submit the Eibes-Blanchard Case| on Briefs for Consideration | gt i ALAMEDA, March 3.—Corsets were again to the fromt in City Justice R.! B. Tappan's court to-day, when the hear of the action begun by Mrs. 8. E. Eibes to recover $750 from Mrs. | Francis Blanchard for a corset built| for the latter, was resumed. The de-| fendant came armed with one of the whalebone garments, which she said | she had worn with comfort and which she asserted was far superior to the one made for her by the plaintiff and RY [LOMBER FIRMS T0 ORGANIZE Dealers Deny Any Inten- tion of Raising the Prices for Building Materials PERE R BUILDERS INTERESTED Rate Cutting Is Said to Be General and Demoraliza- tion Exists in the Trade PREPIERE o = Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 3. The attempt being made to form a combination of lumber dealers in this city has been nearly though not en- tirely successful. Hugh Hogan of the Humboldt Lumber Company is the principal dealer standing out against the combine. Mr. Hogan says the com- bine is out to raise the price of lum- ber, while those who have subscribed to the agreement or understanding say that it has been done merely to equal- ize prices and to keep some contrac- tors from getting better prices than ‘others. The result that is being aimed at is | to form an association of lumber deal- ers that will work in harmony with an association of contractors. If this is brought about the contractors and the dealers will not only be able to control the prices of material, but also the prices of labor. G. R. Jameson of the Pacific Coast Lumber Company explained the pro- posed association as follows: “The association is not to raise the price of material, but to equalize it. There has been no understanding upon rates for some time and the prices are now so low that there is no profit in the business. There has been all kinds of rate cutting, and what is be- ing aimed at is merely to establish a uniform scale of prices, so that no one man will get a better rate than an- other. « We are looking toward protect- ing the members of our own business which Mrs. Blanchard refused to ac- cept and referred to as a “death trap.” After listening to the testimony of Mrs. Blanchard and arguments by Judge A. F. St Sure for the defendant and Attorney O. G. Heaton for the plaintiff, Justice Tappan confessed that the older he grew the less he knew about corsets and. in what he affirmed would be his last effort to reach a decision, requested the attorneys to submit the entire matter on briefs. In taking this course, His Honor said: “It appears from Mrs. Blanchard's evidence here to-day that she refused the corset because the ‘spoons’ did not come up to her expectations. Despite the lack of ‘spoons,’ however, she stated that the garment was a ‘death trap,’ and I must say that it is a veyy for- midable looking instrument. It has ai- most as much steel in it as a Russian battleship. The commercial world must be protected and there is a question in my mind as to whether Mrs. Blanchard did not err in refusing to try on the | corset after Mrs. Eibes had built and launched it. If it was constructed ac- | as against unequal rate cutting, and cording to plans and specifications, | there is no intention of making any Mrs. Blan rd should pay for it. If | arbitrary raise in rates.” not I w Mrs This is what Hugh Hogan, refused to go into the combine, says: “There is no necessity for trying to INSTALL AUTOMATIC | put prices up in any way and our com- 3 > ~ ... | pany will not enter any combige.

TLis position was taken by all but a few of the em- ployers. The union yesterday forced the issue by calling a strike in Kohler Bros. and G. A. Rothamel's markets because these employers had refused to sign the new agreement. The first named firm conducts the Buffalo Market at Twenty-second street and San Pablo avenue and the Excelsior Market at Twenty-fourth street and Telegraph avenue. Rothamel's shop is the Pa- cific Market at Twentleth street and Telegraph avenue. These shops were declared “unfair,” and pickets were sta- tioned in front of them to announce a boycott. EMPLOYERS WILL RESIST. The employers met and decided to re- sist the strike by ordering a general lockout, to ne effective to-day, unless the strike should be -declared off and the pickets withdrawn. In pursuance of in shops that notified vices were no longer required. The ma- when they appeared for work. At Beck- er's, Washington street, near Eighth, where neariy fifty meat cutters were employed, the lockout was effective at noon This was the employers’ reply to the union’s demands. The lockout came as a great surprise The leaders had not ex- pected the emplovers to take this step. It had been believed that a strike would be ordered, however, and the employers took ‘the offensive side of the contest, placing the men on the defensive. Behind the contest stand the whole- sale supply firms. Union men declare that the retailers have been forced to | declare a lockout by the wholesalers. It | is said that the supply houses have agreed to protect = their retailing patrons, who have organized to resist the union’s demands. The agreement presented to the em- ployers provides an increase from $16 to $18 a week in meat cutters’ wages; a reduction to ten hours as a day's work for sausagemakers; boys to work only as cash boys; apprentices limited to youths of 18 years of age, at a mini- mum of $10 a week. There are also other points relating to working condi- tions included. BUTCHERS HOLD MEETING.

Jordan Are Caught by Uporation of the New Law AR 3 PR Oakland Office San Francisco Call, i118 Broadway, March 3. The new law <in regard to the at- tachment of county employes’ salaries for debt is to be invoked here next Monday. During. the last campaign, when former County Clerk Frank G. Jordan, now clerk of the Supreme Court, was making his run for office, he induced three of his deputies to in- dorse his note for about $800, which note he has been unable to meet. The money was borrowed from the Bank of Haywards, which has come down on the deputies for the money. The indorsers of the note were Frank ! Mason, Charles Pugh and Ray Baker. employes in the County' Clerk’s office. Mason has since died, throwing the in- debtedness on Pugh and Baker. They have been putting off the payment of the note in the hope that Jordan would make the amount good the bank, but a short time ago the bank went into court and got a formal judg- ment against them for $420 each. To- day the judgment against them was filed under the provision of the new Jaw with County Auditor Bacon,” wha cannot audit their salaries until the claim is satisfied. In the meantime, Jordan has made a settlement of enough of the claim to satisfy the judgment .against Baker and promises by Monday to have Pugh clear, that being pay day with the county officials. The judgment, how- ever, at the present time lies in the Auditor’s safe, waiting for a settlement from one or the other source. —_————— Alleged Embezzler Jailed. OAKLAND, March 3.—Walter Breeden, accused of embezzling $250 from Court Knaresborough, ‘Ancient Order of Foresters, was lodged in the City Prison to-day, having been brought from Marysville, where he was argrested Monday.' ‘ (3 of the shoos notified their men | | i | association. signed the agreement was | before noon to-day that his ser- | Butchers’ and Sausage Makers' Union, has taken charge of the situation. He announced that the local union would be supported by the international body. Fred Becker, the largest employer in the city, said: “The employers have decided they do not want outsiders to run their busi- ness. It is not a matter of wages and hours, at least o far as T am con- cerned, for I have paid the rates now demanded right along.” Neither union man nor employer was willing to say how far the contest might go. There is danger that the wholesalers may be involved and that the slaughter-houses wijll be affected. Indications point to a hard fight. Some of the larges dealers have started to find non-union help. The employing butchers’ associa- tion - to-night at a meeting at Giers Hall decided to notify those dealers who have not yet joined the associa- tion that they would be given until 6 o'clock to-morrow night to sign the roll, the alternative being that sup- plies would be cut off.

NOT A FIGHT ON WAG “We hope that the public will not misunderstand the situation,” said E. A. Young, proprietor of the Adeline market. “This is not a fight on wages. There is hardly a retailer in this city who does not pay as much or more than the uron le. We have been jammed to the wall by continued de- mands from the union. This last de- mand, which has caused the trouble, reads ‘effective March 1, 1904 and does not provide any time limit. . So far as the agreement goes, it gives us not a particle of protectign against more demands to-morrow. ‘“We have organized to protect our- selves and have told the union that uniess it withdraws the boycott from the Kohler and Rothamel shops we shall lock out all union men. .The wholesalers are behind us. “We had information that a general strike of the union was to be ordered for Saturday morning, so we fore- stalled that somewhat by ordering this lockout.” The employing butchers’ associa- tion officers are as follows: President, O. G. Newhall; secretary, Fred Koh- ler; treasurer, Oscar Breiling; ser- geant at arms, Fred Kuhnle. T. E. McGovern, business agent of the union, said fo-hight: “We were told flatly to quit the union or quit our jobs.
