The open meeting of Electrical Workers' Union No. 6 (inside elec- tricians) last Saturday night at 677 MecAllister street filled the large hall. The off |side of als of the union stated their the present controversy with {the Building Trades Council. Ad- dresses were made by the following: Grand Vice President M. J. Sullivan, Huvn Murrin of 0.«k1and Albert E. Patrick Cullinan, W. S. Rush and ‘\\xumm D. Hall. . The annual, wage conference is now | on between the Great Lakes Tug and | Dredge Owners' Protective Assoclation | |and the International Brotherhood of | | Steam Shovel and Dredge Men in’De- troit. The men who operate the dredges around the Great Lakes expect | to secure an agreement this year pro- | | viding for an eight-hour day. Under the executive order issued by President . Roosevelt some time ago the eight-hour | law must be observed by contractors |doing Government work, whether be- |ing done by contract or day work. | When negotiating for the last wage agreement a year ago the dredgemen made a demand for an eight-hour day, but finally were forced to yield, owing to other concessions. . . J. P. Rasmussen was in the chair at the last meeting of the Sallors’ Unlon of the Pacific. The secretary reported that shipping was falr. The proposi- tion providing for the purchase of a plat in Mount Olivet Cemetery was de- |clared carried. The shipwreck benefit | was ordered paid to three members who |1ost their belongings through fire on the steamship Montara. Members are urged to attend the Wednesday even- ing educational meetings at headquar- ters. At last Wednesday night's meet- ing the subject discussed was “The Principles of Organization.” The prin- ciples upon which the Sallors’ Union was founded and upon which it had in the labor fleld were discussed at {length. The Tacoma agent said that men were still scarce; the Seattle agent wrote that shipping was medium and prospects good; the Port Townsend agent reported that shipping and the general situation were unchanged; the Aberdeen agent that they.were fair; the Portland agent that shipping was dull; the Eureka agent that shipping and prospects were good; the San Pedro agent that they were fair; the Hono- lulu agent that they were dull. . . . President John Brannan calls the at- tention of members of the Pacific Coast Marine Firemen’s Union to the alteration in the constitution and by- laws of that organization, under which its title is changed to Marine Firemen, Oilers and Water Tenders of the Pa- cific. Members can procure copies of the constitution as recently adopted by applying at headquarters or agen- cles. . international Another labor union Labor. By a referendum vote the Jour- neymen Stonecutters’ Association has decided on afflllation. issued at the next meeting of the Exec- utive Council of the American Federa- tion of °“Labor. This organization ‘would long ago have joined the parent organization but for jurisdictional dis- putes with the Granite Cutters, Mar- ble Workers and others. These mat- ters were settled at the recent Min- neapolis convention. A conference this month in New - York City will sign working agreements recognizing the jurisdiction of each trade. This leaves but two internationals outside the pale of the American Federation of Labor— the Bricklayers and the Plasterers. The Bricklayers, it is thought, will shortly join in swelling the ranks of the American Federation of Labor. . N & A committee of five from the Lake Seamen’s Union has met a similar com- mittee from the Marine Firemen, Ofl- ers and Water Tenders’ Benevolent As- dociation of the Great Lakes, the pur- pose being to provide mecans for closer relations between the two organiza- tions. The result has already been sub- mitted to the interested parties for ap- proval. The Seamen’s committee was ‘William Penje, V. A. Olander, W. H. Jenkins, William Curry and T. J. Mc- Coy. . . Arrangements for holding the Chi- cago industrial exhibit next month are about completed. - The promoters prom- ise something on a muth grander scale than was ever attempted and expect it to be of great value to organized labor. It is planned to have a monster mass meeting on the opening day. Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell will repre- sent the army of trades unionists in the country. Senator Beveridge is ex- pected to make an address. William Jennings Bryan also has been invited to speak. The organizations under whose auspices the exhibit is to be held are the Illinois Woman's Trades Union League, the Chicago Federation of Labor, the Illinois branch of the Con- sumers’ League, the Chicago Woman's taken up: No. 440, Barbers' Examiners, introduced hy ! ator Anthony, passed by labor and capital imittee 540, Horseshoers’ Examiners, No. | 513 (480 in Senate) has also passed th¢ Senate | grown to its present enviable position | shipping and prospects were fair and] has been added to the ever-increasing | ranks of the American Federation of | A charter will be | ) 0.

BOYLE Club, the Chicago Tuberculosis Insti- tute, the Chicago Geographical Society, the Northwestern University Settlement, Chicago Commons, Neighborhood House, Hull House, the University of Chicago Settlement and the Municipal Museum of Chicago. Daily conferences will be and experts will discuss the various phases of industrial life. The main ob- ject of the exhibit is to bring attention to sweatshops and industrial accidents and occupational diseases, especlally among women and children. The com- mittee in charge has made arrange- ments to have the Philadelphia Indus- trial Exhibit and the New York Ex- position of Safety Devices and Indus- trial Hygiene shown. The menace of the sweatshop will be graphically por- trayed by actual reproduction ofv the conditions in homes where clothing and other articles are manufactured for general consumption. . . | Next Friday (Washington’s birthday | anniversary) all butcher shops con- trolled by the butchers' union will be closed. The night previous the shops will be open until 8 o'clock. Members of Butchers' Union would like the com- | munity to remember this. Most shops n the city are now run under union conditions. . . il Men in the iron industry are in great demand the country over. The iron and steel mills are being operated tg their fullest capacity, having doublé and triple turn schedules. Agents of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers are searching the | entire country for competent men. Such |a contingency never before prevailed and it presages excellent times for the remainder of the year. - . . The international officers of machin- ists are in possession of two affidavits made by a detective setting forth that they had been employed to slug union pickets at the plant of the Woods Auto- Vehicle Company, Chicago. The union officials say they will bring suit against the National Metal Trades Association, which employed the sluggers, for dam- ages resulting from their operations, two of the pickets having been se- verely beaten recently. e . All the trouble in the glassworkers’ organizations is not confined to the | window-manufacturing branch. The | flints just now are confronted with the | establishment of a rival organization |in the plants of the Macbeth-Evans Company, Chicago, due to the dissatis- | faction of some of the members of the |chimney branch over the long-continued strike against that corporation. The| |new union will be confined to the plants on the South Side, Chicago, and at Charleroi, Toledo, O., and Marion and Ellwood, Ind. —_— FLLMORE-STREET MEN T0 GATHER AT BANGUET Improvement Association to Lay Plans at Feast for Progress Fillmore street, in its role of “the first business street after the fire,” is to have its progress celebrated and its future pledged at a banquet Thursday evening of 250 members of the Fillmore Street Improvement Assoclation. It isn't a year since curb sandwich wag- ons and hurry-up restaurants in Fill- more street offered everything to be had in the way of refreshment for the busy multitude that found Fillmore wearing Market street's cloak of dignity. What the improvement association has ac- complished since that day and what it yet hopes to do will be discussed with tempting viands and to the music of clinking glasses. For the short time that the associa- tion has been in existence the mer- chants are well pleased with the im- provements that have been made. The merchants doing business in Fillmore street recently made a purchase of city bonds, and the money thus provided will be utilized to improve the paye- ment of the thoroughfare. It is ex- pected that the present pdvement of basalt will be replaced by bitumen. Those who will respond to toasts at the banquet are: President Norton C. Wells, “The Association and What It Stands For; Acting Mayor Galla- gher, ‘“‘Restoration of Busipess and ‘the First Business Street After the Fire”; Robert Roos, “What the Association Has Accomplished James A. Johnson, “‘The Hopes of the Auoct tion’; J. W. Raphael, “The Streets’ A. Weyl, “The Law and the Anochuon" u ervisor Rea, ‘‘Our City Fathers and What They Vill Do for the Association”; Jesse A.

A S AL WILL FORM JUNCTION CLUB The property owners and merchants interested in that portion of the city about the junction of Market, Four- teenth and Church streets, Including Sanchez street, Duboce avenue and ad- jacent thoroughfares, are taking steps to organize an improvement club. A meeting has been called for next Mon- day night in Healey's Hall, 244 Church street. The objects of the club are to secure better streets, lights, sewers, police protection and street car service. PR LR L SUES HEARST FOR DAMAGES held during the week of the exposition | TUESDAY, FEBRUARY ‘19, 1907. FLEES FAOM CITY 10 ESCAPE. BUNKD SHARPS Elias Torres, Who Eloped From Panama, Will Return Home VICTIM OF SWINDLE Prefers Facing Wrath of Girl’s Father to Taking Knockout Drops Ellas Torres, the young Panaman who eloped from the isthmus with a pretty senorita who later deserted him at Punta Arenas, is going back to face “the wrath of his fickle fair one’s fath- er.” Not desire for trouble, but a wholesome fear of the North American bunko man is relponllble for Torres’ decision to return. Torres arrived here on the Pacific Mail liner San Jose. He is going home on the Peru, which sails this afternoon. When he arrived the quarantine offi- cials ordered him held as a suspected vietim of trachoma. It was decided later that he was not suffering from that disease and he was released from the detention shed. Torres’ father is a man of means and young Torres had in his possession when he arrived here about $700 in greenbacks. While in the detention shed he exhibited this money and was much worried lest he should be robbed. A Pacific Mail official offered to take care of the money, and Torres joyfully placed it in his custody. Held in the detention shed with Torres was one Fred Clemens, a workaway on the San Jose from Panama. Clemens, who was released a few days before Torres was given his liberty, had taken a keen interest in Torres and his money, and when Torres was released Clemens and a friend were awaiting him. Clemens" persistent inquiries as to the probable hour of Torres’ release had aroused suspicion, and the official who had Torres’ money advised the Panaman not to draw it until the next day. He warned Torres to beware of Clemens. Clemens kept close track of the youth \) \\l\ CHILDREN %:\;Murpm nor Minesal. NARCOTIC.

Seeing Clemens nsalnk hovering around the custodian of theg| currency took Torres to a bank and there deposited the money. He allowed Torres to keep $100. A few hours after Torres had been left on his own re- sources he hunted up the steamshlp‘ official and told him a tale of woe. had met Clemens. They had tnken a drink together. Torres immediately had fallen asleep, and when he awoke he was alone and penniless. Fear of the wrath of the father of the girl with whom he had eloped had decided Torres to remain in this city, | where he purposed to become an elec- triclan. His expeflence with drugged | wine at $100 a glass induced a change | of mind. He cabled to his father re- questing him to square matters with “her” father and to kill the fatted calf. He bought a ticket for Panama and will leave on the Peru today. For the preservation of what is left of his money he has hired a guardian, a fel- low Panaman, who will stand be- tween Torres and the bunko fraternity until the Peru leaves the wharf.
