The differences which have long ex- isted between the Western Federation of Miners and the American Federation | the | of Labor have been accentuated by proceedings of the recent Lenver con- vention of the former labor body.

We will grant no turday afternoons off. This per- cious example is copied from the States, and would corrupt our system. We will not admit any colliective representations from work men regarding time or wages. We | continue the plece-work system in spite of union opposition. Henceforth on the wages paid a tax of 2 per cent will be levied for the purpose of forming a fund for the protection of the employers against strikes.” It is estimated t there is annually pald in this industr in the republic of France for wages the | sum of $60,000,000 and if this 2 per cent proposition should prevail would yield about $1,200,000 yearly. . S President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor recent- ly sent the following letter | throughout the country with a view of solidifying the railway expressmen of the land into one compaet organiza- tion: “Fer some time past the Inter- national Brotherhood of Railway Ex- pressmen, with headquarters in Lan- caster, Pa., has been quietly pressing the work of organization among the railway expressmen of the United States and Canada. The bitterly hos- tile attitude of the express companiek which seem to be determined to pre vent the establishment of an effective organization among their employees makes it a difficult proposition for the brotherhood, with its limited resources, to handle. Experience has demonstrat- |ed that to establish small isolated | local divisions here and there subjects not | Unite | entine it the members to immediate discharge, and no firm or lasting foothold s gained. In view of these facts, and in order that we may cope successfully with the unreasonable antagonism of the express companies, we have re- solved to enlist the entire machinery of the American Federation of Labor in behalf of the movement to establish upon a permanent and self-sustaining basis the International Brotherhood of Railwa¥ Expressmen. To be entirely satisfactory it is important that the efforts <f our organizers should be sim- ultaneous throughout the entire juris- diction of the American Federation of Labor. You are therefore requested to get in touch with the railway express- men in your vicinity immediately with a view of forming them into local divi- sions of the brotherhood, and alse to get intn communication at once with E. R. Greenawalt, 438 Nevin street, Lancaster, Pd.” . . . Brickiayers’ Union No. 7 will meet Wednesday night in regular sion at 640 Golden Gate avenue. The presi- dent reports that business is brisk. Nominations will be made at this meet- ing and the election will be held the following Wednesday. The annual pienic will take place Sunday, July 1, at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael. The committee of arrangements consists of the following: Joe Duffey, F. L. Had- ley, George Keeley, T. Crowley, J Meyerscough and William Trunger.

Here is where the men who draw salaries from the Board for Public Works will draw one long sigh of re- lief. There wil] be no swinging of the |ax and no reduction of salaries—not at ‘prexem But look ‘out for next winter. Econemy will be the watchword, and in th meantime the board will drift along, hoping for something to turn| up. | Thet | result of the secret {was held yesterday. There were two| \ol those closed-door sessions. All day long, when not besieged by callérs, the| Commissioners wrestied with the prob-| lem of how to do the same work and { keep the same staff of employes with | $289,295 less money. | Nor is it explained yet how the trick will be accomplished. Either lopping| off of employes or a cut in salaries was predicted. The expected failed to hap- pen, and it is doliars to doughnuts that the board is temporizing. At the close of the session Secreta | Levy was deputized te make a state-| ment. He reported that the Commi: | sioners hope by strict economy to do the same amount of work as in the past: further, declared the mouthpiece of the board, it is impossible to reduce| the force of emploves at tms time, but| during the winter months it is not out of the possible that sucu a reduction will occur. Despite the reduction in! the appropriation, almost as much work will be done on tme streets and as during the preceding year s proposed to spend $212,000 for cleaning of streets. The sum of| | | | | | | is the word given out as the/ conference that | the $170,000 will be used in the repair and struction of sewers and streets and public buildings will be repaired to the extent of $41,500. It is declared that because of the extra work it is neces- | sary to keep the present force intact |and the selarfes ean be paid. so it is declared, out of the money available from the bond issue.

The committee on history appointed by Mayor Schmitz at the suggestion of United States Circuit Judge Morrow, as a sub-committee of the committee of fifty and then of the committee of for- ty, is actively engaged in gathering cial history of the memorable calam- ity of April 18 last. The committee is composed of John S. Drum, the well known attorney, who is chairman; Ed- ward F. Morar, president of the Civil Ser\ jce Commission and also an attor- v, who is acting as secretary and gwlng his particular attention to the collection of material; Richard C. Har- | rison, one of the city's rising young at- torneys; Clement Bennett, States officfal reporter, and Professor | Henry Morse Stephens, professor of | history in the University of California. At the meeting of the committee in| Century Hall Friday night, Professor Stephens addressed the committee and | explained at some length the work| upon which the committee of hnturyr s engaged.

Professor Stephens stated that from California Sae Depssn and Irust Gompany the standpoint of & historian the op- portunity now presented to compile an | authentic record of the work dene in the city by the mem who arose to the| occasion was unexampled, and he urged | all the members of both citizens' com- | mitees to aid in the great work neces- sary to bring about the publication | of an official history of the great dis- aster. | Girls’ High Scheo! building at Geary nd Scott streets should be taken down and a more modern structure provided for.

The annual pienic of the District| Council of Carpenters was held Sun-| day at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael‘ Several thousand friends of the coun- cil took this occasion to get away| | from the dust of the city to enjoy| themselves. Many thronged the danc- ing pavilion all day and were not| anxious to leave when it came time to catch the last boat. P. H. McCarthy] and F. P. Nicholag were greatly in evi- dence dnd Judge Lawson was not slow himself. The affair proved a finanecial | success, and too much credit cannot| be accorded the committees for the| way they performed their arduous duties. . . . Judge Quarles of the Federal Court in Milwaukee has rendered another sweeping injunction against trade or- ganizations. It is aimed at four iron molders' unions. The striking mold- ers are enjoined from impeding, hin- dering, obstructing or interfering in ny way with the business of Allis- Chalmers Company in the operation of its works and foundries and from en- tering the grounds and premises of the complainant company against its wish. The union molders are pro- hibited from picketing, guarding, ob- structing, impeding or besetting the streets contiguous to the premises. The order also provides that the de- fendants are net to go to the homes of any of the employes for the purpose of persuading or coercing them to leave their employ. . . A meeting of Waitresses' Unjon No. 48 was called yesterday afternoon, at which E. W. Horpe presided. Horne is an executive officer of the interna- tional organization and is here super- vising the distribution of the funds sent to this city to affiliated unions. He reports that he finds things in fairly good shape so far as his unions are concerned. He has at his dis- posal some $15,000, which he is expend- ing right here for the necessaries for his locals. Home industries are being patronized exclusively by Horne, and it is such purchases as he and others.in ithe labor movement are making which make our merchants wear such bread smiles these days. The unions are doing much more than they are gen- erally credited with to build up San Francisco. P T Acting Business Agent Henry Huber of Cooks' Helpers’ Union No. 116, re- ports that all his members are working and more could be accommodated. For- mer members who have not yet re- ported at the headquarters, 431 Ivy avenue, should cail at once and be put to work at unfon wages. The Chica‘o unlnn prlntera are pho- tographing all non-union printers who are taking their places in the fight for the eight-hour day. Already some 200 have been secured and they will be turned over to the Executive Board of the union. It is planned to have them put in a book and distributed to sister unions threughout the country with a view of establishing a bureau of iden- tification. LABOR TO num‘s_ PCLITICS. Plan on Foot to O pendent Party. NEW YORK, June !8.—The Centrgl Federated Unjon decldsd yesterday to start measures for go'ng Into politics which may lead to the organization of an independent labof party. The ac- tion is In line with tie recommenda- tion of President Gompars of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor several months ago, advising the unions to Zo into pelitics. The executive com- mittee of the mtn.l body was in- structed to draw plan for inde- pendent political o. and submit it within thirty deys 2 an Inde- | ganizations and secret societies and neighborhood committees that did much | to relieve the immediate distress of lhel suffering people shall send to the com- | mittee not only complete stories of lhe\ work done by them and the amount of | relief they afforded, but also copies of | all their original documents, their cor- respondence, their proclamations, their | orders, their requisgitions in blank form and all other documentary matter. The work undertaken by the commit- tee on history is so vast in its scope and the committee is so anxlous to ob- tain authentic records of everything| that all data, no matter how insignifi- cant it may appear, will be eagerly ac- cepted by .them. Much assistance has been given the committee by Major Genaral Qreely, Brigadier General Funston, Governor Pardee,* Mayor Schmitz and other officials of the city and State. Assistance has also been rendered by the ladies and gentlemen in charge of the relief work at Oak- land, Alameda, San Jose, Santa Rosa and other towns. Files of all the newspapers published not enly in San Francisco but through- out the State and the Pacific Slope and files of the Jeading newspapers of the East will be obtained, to the end that no matter of interest will be over- looked. The assistance of the schoel| children and the public school teach- ers has also been asked. Professor Stephens is the custodian of a fund of $50 sent him by James Ford Rhodes, the historian, of Beston, which money will be distributed in prizes of five and ten dollars to the school children of San Francisco who send to the committée on history the best accounts of their personal exper- iences during and subsequent to the great disaster. Some account of this fund and the manner of its distribu- tion was given by Professor Stephens during his address at the graduating exercises of the school children at Golden Gate Park recently. After all the data and documdnts collected by the committee on history have been carefully examined for the purpese of compiling them in the com- mittee's publication, the documents themselves will be preserved in bound volumes and placed for the benefit of future students and historians in the public archives. All communications intended for the committee on history may be addressed to Edward F. Moran, secretary of the committee on history, Hamllton Grammar School, Geary street near Scott, San Francisco.
