CARMEN MAKE NEW DEMANDS General Manager Chapman Holds Forth Little Hope for Adoption of Schedule S The Carmen’s Union yesterday de- livered to President Holland of the United Rallroads a copy of the con- tract under which the union would like the company to run its business for the year beginning May 1. Gen- eral Manager Chapman refused to discuss the company’s probable action on the men's demands, but holds forth little hope that the'union's new sched- ule will be adopted: He said: The San Francisco public is well advised as to the pumber of concessions already made by this company 1o secure industrial peace and to avoid public inconvenience. The award of the arbitraiors, giving the last increase, is only & few montbs old to-day. I do not care to discuss the matter further than to say the same wiil receive prompt and careful consider- ation. In the new demands the carmen insist that the company shall at all times treat directly with the officers of the union, both in the matter of grievances arising through the opera- tion of the proposed contract and in the case of complaints dffecting any member of the union. The proposed agreement provides a method whereby action on grievances or complaints may be taken jointly by company and union. The agreement entered into between however, a number of amendments, Free rides on the company’s cars is one of the new conditions and an- other is that employes suspended for alleged violation of company rules and afterward reinstated be paid wages for the period of suspension. Increase in pay is also provided for in the new contract. For platform men the rate demanded Is 2714 cents an hour and 40 cents an hour over- time. The Increase for unifon mem- bers, other than platform men, is asked for on the following basis: Men who were not granted an Increase in wages under the award of Arbitrator Straus shall receive ten per cent increase on the wages now paid. Men who were awarded an increase of five per cent shall receive an in- crease of five per cent. Men who were granted an_increase of ten per cent shall not suffer a reduction. and any.employe who is now re- ceiving @ higher rate of wages than is pro- 1 for in this agreement shall not suffer a jon in his wages because of or through eration of this agreement. Other stipulations in the union’s new contract are as follows: The men required by the rules of the com- pany to wear uniforms shall uge only uniforms made according to the standard and speci- fications adopted by representatives of the company and the union in joint conference. And it is also that the arbiiration award of O §. Straus, dated New York, November 3. 1903, with regard to and fxing the rate of wages to be paid by the company to members of the union is also excepted from and does not form part of this agreement. Whenever the unjon can demonstrate that it is practicable to errange timetables wkich shall operate more satisfactorily to members of the upion than do those timetables then in operation, and such arrangement can be without changing the running time of cars oF increasing the operating expenses of the com- pany, the rearrangement proposed by the union shall be adopted by the company. Hzr s, re: the ELECTRICIANS FEAR g THAT MEN MAY STRIKE It is rumored about town that a strike of serious import is threatened for May 1 unless in the meantime the demands of the Electric Workers’ clude all that are connected with the thousand workers. The demands are for higher pay and less hours and union recognition, and unless granted a walkout will be or- dered. Committees from employers and the unions have been attempting a compromise, but thus far without suc- cess. Prominent manufacturers declare that the demands of the electricians are impossible to grant and are busy with arrangements for meeting the threatened crisis. A new schedule of wages and rates that has been adopted by the Hack- men’s Union will be put in force on the 14th inst. The schedule calls for $2 50 a day of ten hours, the proprietors to furnish whips and uniforms. For at- tending a funeral to Holy Cross Ceme- tery, $2; for driving to electric cars in the city, $1 50; for theaters up to mid- night, $150. After that hour 25 cents is added for every hour the driver is out. The boy rivet heaters at the Union Iron Works returned to work yesterday, with the understanding that the man- agement look Into their grievance and make concesslons regarding a more lib- eral scale of wages. * The following donations have been forwarded by the Labor Council to the striking lumbermen in Stockton: Book- | binders No. 31, $5; Cracker Bakers No. 125, $5; Barbers No. 148, $10; Teamsters , No. 85, $50; Bakery Drivers No. 106, $5; { Bakers No. 24, $10; Freight Handlers | No. 58, $5; State Employes No. 16, $9; Hackmen No. 224, $20—making a total of $119.

According to the tale of the mariner, he went into a saloon at Beale and Bryant streets, and, seeing three young men in the place, invited them to drink with him. ‘While in the sa- loon, Halsted says, he exhibited some money. He left after taking the drink and started to walk up Bryant street, He says he was confronted by three men before he had gone far. They backed him up against a wall and deftly went through his pockets, se- curing $30, all the money he had. They then disappeared in the darkness, Halsted notified the police, and De- tectives O'Dea and Mulcahy were de- tailed to find the robbers. Late last night the detectives arrested three young men, who gave their names as T. McGrath, A. Burton and T. Dun- leavy. They will be charged with rob- bery to-day. ———————— Sightseers’ Club.

The forthcoming inaugural exhibit of local grocers, to be held Iin the Me- chanics’ Pavilion from April 30 to May 15, promises to be one of the most in- structive and attracuve runctions of this class ever held west of the Rocky Mountains. Unlike many other expositions and kindred shows, this one will not be managed and promoted by outsiders that make a business of promoting fea- tures off this nature, but is absolutely under the promotion management and control of the grocers. The local association of retail gro- cers has a membership now of about 500 of the leading retailers of this city. They are taking active interest in mak- ing a most thorough and complete demonstration of the pure food sub- Ject by presenting object lessons to the consumer and general public. The annual convention of the Nation- al Retail Grocers’ Association will be held in the art gallery of the Mechan- ics’ Pavilion during the first week of the pure food exposition. Transcontinental railroads have al- ready booked 4000 to 5000 Eastern vis- itors.| The influx of coast delegates and their friends will be large.
