of Issue ' *
Prospective Purchasers Intend
to Further Construction of
Municipal Road .
Organized labor in Kan Francisco is
to be a large purchaser of the b«nds of
the Geary street munfeipal railroad,
which will be offered for sale to the
highest bidder on Monday, July 11.
At A meeting of the building trades
council held on Thursday night the
proposition that the council and the
unions affiliated with It buy bonds in
the Geary street road was discussed at
length. It was decided that the pur
i chasing movement should at once be
started. A.. L.. Hollis was appointed
, .chairman of the committee which will
canvass the loca) the cause
,of the bbnd proposition and interest
. them In . the purchase. Hollis had
charge of the canvass- among the
unions for stock in the Panama-Pacific
international exposition, and his efforts
were highly successful.
MAXY TMOXS TO IX VEST
While the building trades council,
the centralbody; will undoubtedly pur
chase bonds of th,e Geary street mu
nicipal road, the largest purchases wll
probably be made by some of. the af
filiated unions. Of the €0 unions' af
; filiated with the building trades coun
. cil many of them have large cash re
serves which may be Invested in secur
ities. The eafety and Investment value
nf the municipal bonds : can not be
questioned.
Tn addition to that the unions have
ever been propagandists of municipal
: ownership and have been strong work
er* in the cause of public ownership of
'Utilities. The Strongest advocates of
the Geary street project were found in
the ranks of organized labor.
AVILL. PUSH CONSTRUCTION
Purchasers of the Geary street bonds
will be the most active 'agents in fur
• thering the construction of the road.
. Organized labor realizes that In this
instance tjiey will have the double op
portunity of safely investing their
money and aiding, the cause of munlcl-"
pal ownership. : *.
Chairman Hollis will devote the time
between next Monday and July 11 in
Interesting: .the local unions, in the
Geary street project and In arranging
for them the details of filing their bids
with the board of supervisors. • < *
Clerk Hag-erty of tha board received
yesterday tha first formal bid for the
bonds, which has. been" filed. It Is ex
pected -that the majority of the bids
will not be filed until just -before the
date eet for opening the proposals.
• The flrst allotment of the bonds,
which wljl be offered for sale to the
, Wghest bidder on July 11, consists of

NEW SYSTEM ON
HARRIMAN LINES
Unit Plan of Organization Goes
Into Effect Throughout ;
.. Railroad Offices
Changes of Titles for Staff of
the Union Is the
First Step
[Special Dispclch io The Call]
CHICAGO. July I.— The" new "unit
system" of organization on the Harri
man lines, which is intended to obviate
the dangers of over speciallz.i'on and
to better fit officials for promotion to
executive positions by giving them a
well rounded training, was applied to
day to the staff of Vice President and
General Manager A. I* Mohler of the
.Union Pacific. An announcement . of
changes in title" for the .general su
perintendent, superintendent of motive
power and machinery, chief engineer!
superintendent of transportation and
assistant to the general manager was
also made.
XEW DUTIES FOR STAFF
These men will all be designated
hereafter as sassistant general man
agers and in addition to their: present
duties will be assigned additional func
tions outside of their regular, depart
ments. '* T -V
The plan is one which has been tried
out for a year and a half in many of
the division organizations, the division
master mechanics and engineers, all be
ing given co-ordinate titles as assistant
superintendents.
Its extension for the first time to the
exclusive organiatlon marks the pass
ing of the idea from rhe experimental
stage, and it is no wto be extended to
other offices throughout. th« Harriman
system. • ,
HARRIMAX FAVORED PLAX
This plan of giving a broad training
in the operating department was one
which had been regarded with great
interest by the late E. H.. Harriman. It
has been observed that members of the
mechanical and- engineering depart
ments were handicapped in the path to
promotion to general manager or vice
president as compared with the men
more directly engaged in the handling
of trains, such as train masters and
superintendents. . -
One result of the plan Is said to be
more system in the freedom of com
znusication between departments, while
reducing the number of letters written
by over 1,000 a day.

She testified that he drank to" excess
and finally left her. . " .
Mrs. Hulse is the sister of the late L.
L. Schuler, an Alameda brewer, . who
left her hus fortune. His mother, from
who mhe.was estranged, contested his
•will, but lost the case. -An appeal is
now pending. .. . \u25a0
"Sadie Ernest testified that her hus
band, Albert J. Ernest of Alameda, ap
parently married her to put her to
work. Ernest conducts a. furniture
store and lie Insisted on his wife going
to. work in the store Immediately after
the wedding, in spite of the fact that
he was earning plenty of money for
their support. He supplemented this
treatment, Mrs. Ernest said, by beating
her and choking her. - ;
An affinity in the person of Ralph
Perkins is said to be the trouble be
tween Ltroy R. Reams and his wife,
Harriet." Reams brought suit for di
vorce today, naming Perkins in his,
complaint.
Suit for divorce on the ground of de
sertion was begun by Ethel E. Fink

city of undesirables, a municipality
populated and governed by^human vul

pamphlet, "the city: was placed in the

"San FrflTjeisco Is a Modefm Baby

of such moraldegerates," it continues,
"an exposition in San Francisco would

San Francisco's "moral, social a.nd_ poli
tical status ls^of a character to make
it fit" to be the site of an exposition.:
WANTS FEDERAL AID
In another pamphlet the, city boasts
of having raised $800,000 in subscrip
tions in one' week and of having
pledged $5,000,000 at a mass -meeting.

$4,089,000 In two hours, has now raised
