The great scrubbing is to be one of the historical local events. | Francisco’s day of cleaning. W | cleanliness is not worth learning. Clamor to Be Fégtors in Scrubbing Untidy City i The women and the children are clamoring to be factors in San /hat women , do not know about And what children can not supply in the way of enthusiasm for any task iS beyond the dream of any one who has passed his day of youth. The indication is that next Sunday will be not only a day for public combat with the dirt, but that the purpose will be so popular that it will become an annuat |affair with the citizenry, to take precedence over sv{ch occasions as Arbor day, wherein the planting o trees is an offering of the present generation for the delight of the pext. The women are going into it in thisd- way: The lead of the Outdoor Art League in promising to provide coffee and other refreshments” for the street | cleaners at various points along the route of labor will be followed by other women's organizations n making simi- lar provision at every needed point in the city. EVEN CHILDREN WILL WORK What the children will do is depend- ent upon their understanding of the situation, and they will surely be in- formed, because Chairman.Scott of the Street Repairs Association has sent & letter explaining the plan and asking | On two points are the upon the for assistance. children appealed to—first, ground of the help they can render; | second, to call to their attention the | patriotic appeal that has aroused the | entire citizenship of the city. It is an | object lesson in civic pride to which every child will respond. and it is ex- pected that all school children will do their part in helping to make San Francisco so clean -that the envy of Edinburg - and others of the world’s model cities will be aroused. The assured success of February 24 as a cleaning day seems to be hinged pon a sole and not doubtful contin- ency—the approval of the teamsters’ | unfon, which Scott will address tomor- | row night. Without teams and team- | sters it will be impossible to spirit |away the dust and dirt and debris which make San Francisco an unpleas- ant place for the half miilion people who are bent upon restoring the city's former glory and physical stability. The approval of the teamsters is ex- pected to follow the enthusiastic recep- tion of the plan granted by the Build- ing Trades Council and the Labor | Councll, the two central bodies repre- | senting nearly 100,000 union working- men. Scott has intervigwed the officers of the teamsters’ union and probably 1200 of the union’s members. Their | opinions in favor of cleaning dav have been so whole-hearted that there can be no doubt of the actlon of the union | itself. PLAN OF ORGANIZATION Next in importance—rather first, in fact—is the problem of organization which will confront Tuesday night's meeting of the executive committee, | leading contractors, officials and ex- perts. At this meeting Scott will shift | the heavy burden he has been carry- + ¥ as to what services they can offer. | Forty thousand circulars will be dis- ktrlbuted‘ one at the doorway of every residence in San Francisco, asking that the cleaning movement be helped along by each individual helping to clean his own yard, sidewalk and street in front of his home in order that the teams | may find the stuff to be hauled, in | ready piles. Among yesterday’s offers of ald sent to Scott was that of W. G. Stafford & Co. of seven or eight carts, useful to dump, on short hauls on the water front, and twenty odd coal wagons. If the men will not volunteer, the com- pany will pay them. The Hinchmhn- Clement Company tendered twenty-odd teams and as'many as 100 employes to clean up Polk street from Market to Golden Gate avenue, Hinchman offering to command “that part of the army.” GENEROUS AID GRANTED | repl. { The result of Scott's visit last night to the meeting of the Material Teamsters' Union at Four- jteenth and Guerrero streets was | most gratifying to those promoting the city's cleaning-up day. The men unan- imously and generously donated their !nervlces and their teams to the cause, and entered into the spirit of the great {undertaking with all possible zeal. | Scott declared that the part of the Material Teamsters’ Union is of the greatest importance, and that without it the plans for the cleaning-up day could not have been carried out. With the assistance granted there will.be men and teams to handle the debris and assist in that very material way San Francisco's public scrubbing day. ——— .

F. | organization means the study of maps, | the consideration of the condition of | various streets, the reception and plac- ing of numberless proffers of the ser- | vices of advice, teams and labor. The men at the meeting are men who| are posted in this line of effort. Their| | personal affairs require a better knowl- | | edge and a quicker action than those | that usually fall to the military branch | of the Government—where organiza- tion is a great thing, but involved in more or less red tape. There will he no red tape on cleaning day. FEvery- body will be given .. hearing—advice| will be considered and offers of ser- vices will be acceptable. | OFFERS KEEP PHONES BUSY | Offers of services are keeping Scott’s quartet of telephones busy. The mails are doing the same thing. Business men who own saddle horses or trotters |in harness want Scott to call upon man and horse for service in covering dis- | tance and better directiorl of affairs on | the big day. Automobiles have been offered, and the service they rendered during and after the fire cannot be | gainsaid. The big thing that con- fronts Organizer Scott i{s not the ac- | ceptance, but the placing of those who | want to help. | Scott admits that he is carrying the | second burden and nervous strain of his life; the other was after he had grad- uated from ecollege and entered the practice of law and was called upon to defend a schoolmate on a murder charge. He survived that ordeal, as he will this one. TOOLS ARE WANTED The first great move—before the meeting of the committee and experts, and before the address to the Team- sters’ Union—1s to get the tools by the use of which the volunteers may move the dirt. A committee will call immed- iately upon the Southern- Pacific, the United Railroads and others supplied with tools, with a request for their donation. What the committee cannot’] borrow it will probably buy. ‘While one interest is looking for tools another divigion will be bothered about dumps—and dumps to receive more than 15,000 loads of dirt are hard to find. The city's dumps will be used; the private dumps of several contract- ors have been offered and arrangements have been made to use nearly every available barge on the water front to receive the'loads easiest handled from that district. 'he Harbor Commission, at its meeting tomorrow will join the clean-up plan with theioffer of every service under its command. = With scows to haul the dirt to sea, and with private and public dumps at command, the dumping of the day's gathering of dirt will be assured. Results from Scott's appearance be- fore the central bodles of the labor un- ions are coming in. The Stationary Engineers have already promised the appearance of at least sixty men in the cleaning army. Like promises will follow after the meeting of each union represented in the two eouncils. LABOR MEN RALLYING And as to what can bs done outside of the efforts of team owners, the team- sters andithe rallying thousands of labor men: Scott will send ount tomorrow 50,000 circulars. Ten thousand of them will be addressed to business men, with a car¢ inclosed, asking for immediate FAVROT INDICTMENT QUASHED BATON ROGUE, La., Feb. 16.—The motion to quash the indictment against | Congressman-elect Favrot, ' charged | with murdering Dr. Metcalf, was sus- | tained by Favrot's successor on ths | bench, Jud.
