He lived | here for about a year and was prom- inent in labor affairs. He was a member | of the Livery Stablemen’s Union and | was elected a delegate to the Federated Trades,. Because of his activity he was | elected treasurer ©f that body. About | three months ago he was found at the | corner of Vine and Willows streets in | this eity lying on the sidewalk shot | through the hip. He told a story that he had been held up by two men and robbed of $240 belonging to the Feder- ated Trades. As an excuse for carrying that much money on his perspn he said he had attended a meeting of the Fed- erated Trades that night and had ex- pected to pay some bills. He claimed that the robbers did not take his re- volver from him and as they ran off he fired at them. They returned the he claimed, shooting him in the fire, hip. An Investigation by the police showed, it is claimed, that Bohiman had shot himself. He had squandered the money of the Federated Trades in gambling and then concocted the story of the robbery. In trying to shoot through his clothing he accidentally wounded himself in the hip. Rather than cause & scandal the Federated Trades did not prosecute him. —_———— | MERCHANTS OF STOCKTON DREAD ANOTHER STRIKE |Fear of a Renewal of the Trouble With the Men Who Are Employed Along the Water Front.

The trouble | seems to lie in the fact that a large | number of the members are of the opin- | V fon/that the association is of no benefit | | to the trade in gemeral and that the funds created by the imposition of dues | and fines are put to no practical use. | The dissatisfied members claim that the association is controlled by a few | dealers, who are runninng the organ- ization to suit themselves and in their The- names of the men who dropped out have been placed on a black list, and the officers of the as- | sociation declaré that they will be pre- vented from securing supplies in the | wholesale market and thus be forced to retire from business unless they pay up and secure reinstatement. | The association was formed. about | two years ago when the war between | the Sacramento River Co-operators and | the local commission mien was on in| the wholesale frult market. The river men opened a store in the wholesale, quarter, where they handled large lines | of a limited variety of produce and | made deep cuts into the profits of the | commission men. BUYERS ARE NOTIFIED. The latter notified all buyers that if | they persisted in patronizing the Grow- | ers’ Agency they would not be allowed | to procure supplies of berries, oranges | or other fruits which the growers did | not handlle. The retailers immediately organized for their own protection and entered into a compact with the com- | mission merchants’ association, known | as the Wholesale Fruit and Produce | Merchants' Protective Association, the | purpose of which was to fight the grow- | ers. It was agreed that the wholesalers | would not sell to any dealer who was | not a member of the retailers’ organ- | ization, and all of the commission men | put up a bond of $100 with the retail- ers as a guarantee of good faith. The retailers in return agreed to boycott | the Growers' Agency. | All retail fruit men were obliged to | Join the association or go out of the business, as no storekeeper could buy in the wholesale fruit market unless he | could show a card of membership in | the retailers’ ‘combine. Everything ran | smoothly under this agreement for a | while, and at regular intervals lists | were issued containing the names. of | storekeepers who were backward about | paying their dues to the retailers’ as- sociation, and these men were unable | to secure supplies until they had set- | tled up. i BLACK LIST IS ISSUED. The officery of the association de- cided to employ the same tactics in dealing with the members who recent- 1y left the organization, and according- 1y a list of the delinquents was com- piled and distributed, but whether | this list- was issued by the retailers’ or the wholesalers’ association could not be ascertained, as it was printed | on unstamped paper and bore no signa- ture. The following names appeared on the Ifst: W. Moreggia, Benedetta & Son, P. de Martini, Landucci & Bros., Rebottaro & Cadematori, Fredi- ani & Steffani, Olivi & Co., Toschi & 0., Butori & Co. and Anastasi & Co. This list was distributed yesterday by the secretary of the retallers’ organ- jzation, who made a canvass of the fruit market, chaperoned by an offi- cer of the wholesalers’ association. The salesmen of the various houses were instructed to refuse credit to those whose names appeared on the lists, and it was intimated that pro- | hibitive prices would be asked in case | the buyers offered to pay spot cnh,{ The officers of the association expect to come out victorious in this affair, | but many of the members think dif- | ferently, and some are predicting the | early disruption of the organization. | —— i ¢ Funeral of Thomas B.
