METAL WORKERS
OBEY INJUNCTION
Absence of Pickets from Foun
dries Pleases Members
of Employers' Assn.
UNION NOW HAS A LARGE FUND
International Organizer Says the
Men Are Paid for Taking
Needed Rest
A calm settled over the controversy
botween the metal trades strikers and
their employers yesterday. Whether
it was a calm previous to a renewal
of the storm 13 not known. Accord
ing to William B. Hoswell, secretary
Of the Founders and Employers' as
sociation, the reports from tin- fiiim
drii's showed that the number of men
who went to work yesterday whs
larger by three than the number who
quit work.
There was little picketing about the
shops as a result of the temporary re
straining order issued Monday even
Ing by Judge Bordwell on complaint of
the Baker iron works, it was claimed
;it the offices of the Founders and
Employers' association.
No additional injunctions were is
sued yesterday, although it la planned
by the employers to have about sixty
five prepared. Owing to tho absence
of pickets and loiterers at tho shops
yesterday, the employers say that they
feel that there is no necessity of any
special rush in getting out the in
junctions. However, attorneys for tho
employers are rounding out a number
of the injunctions which will be is
sued today.
When asked last night what effect
such Injunctions would havo on the
strike situation, Stewart Reid, inter
national organizer of tho American
Federation of Labor, replied:
"None whatever. An Injunction asks
only for obedience of the law, and that
Is exactly what wo wish. We have
employed no boisterous methods, intim
idations or any of the other means
which the injunction is framed to pre
vent. We do not care to fight by any
other than perfectly lawful methods.
"The men are taking a much needed
vacation." continued Reid. "About
lEOO are out now. Furthermore, they
nre getting paid for tnking their vaca
tion and the'- are willing to continue
on the outing Indefinitely."
A mass meeting of tho strikers and
their friends was held yesterday
morning in tho auditorium of tho La
l)i>r Temple. George Gunrey. manager
of tho general strike fund, made a re
port and stated that enough money is
on hand and enough more has been
promised to keep the strikers In funds
for months.
Mr. Hoswell snid yesterday after
noon that the employers are very much
encouraged by the Issuance of the in
junctions. He declared that a number
of the men who aro now out and who
have been afraid to return to their
work bPcnuse of intimidations will now
return without delay.

ORIENTAL BANQUET IS
TENDERED STORE CHIEF
Return of M. A. Hamburger Is
Marked by Elaborate Program
Arranged by Employes
With Oriental features of splendor,
entertainers both Ainerlcan and of the
Orient, and a menu of Oriental dishes
which rivaled the most fastldicus Ori-
ental feast, M. A. Hamburger, president
of A. Hamburger & Sons, was wat
comed home last evening by the em
jiloyes of Hamburger's department
store with a banquet In his honor in
the Hamburger cafe.
The banquet room was decorated with
Japanese lanterns, strung over the
three long tables, and flags. At one
end was a stage, over which a large
American flag was draped. On this
■tag* during the banquet entertainers
appeand and made merry:
The program as arranged was in four
surprises. The first of these was Mme.
Hose, who appeared recently at Levy's
as an entertainer. She whistled several
popular airs and gave some rather
difficult Imitations.
The second surprise was indeed a sur
prise, and consisted of Frank Fogarty,
the Irish'comedlan who Is appearing
lit the Orpheum this week. Mr. Fogar
ty literally brought down the house
with his clever stories and recitations,
;uul was called to the stand time and
again by the applause.
The third surprise returned the ban
queters to the Orient. The entertainers
were the Wanatabee sisters, members
of a prominent local Japanese family,
who made their first appearance In
public last evening In a number of na
tive dances. The final surprise was
even more etar.tling than the third,
consisting as It did of the royal Chi
nese orchestra from Los Angeles .Chi
natown, In a number of their native
selections.
During the Intermissions between the
different acts the Franco-Spanish La
dles" orchestra rendered selections.
Following the banquet Will G. Heffel
flngor took chargo of the banqueters
as toastmaster of the evening and In
troduced a number of those present,
who responded to toasts relative to the
department store's business.

CITY ATTORNEY DIRECTED
TO DEFEND COUNCILMAN
Council Adopts Resolution Con
demning Suit to Oust
Him from Office
City Attorney Hew!tt was instructed
yesterday by resolution adopted by tho
city council* to appear in behalf of
Councilman Williams before the attor
ney general of California and resist
the proceedings which have been in
itiated in an effort to oust Councilman
Williams from the city council.
Recently it was asserted that Coun
cilman Williams is interested In a
contract with the board of library di
rectors, having rented a place to the
city for use as a branch library, and
that this was a violation of a charter
provision. The council investigated
and now asserts that the charge Is
merely "an attempt to embarrass and
annoy a worthy public official." The
resolution follows:
TUB KKSOM I ION
Whereas, An application has been
made to the attorney general by
certain persons for leave to bring
an action to oust George Williams,
a member of the council, from his
office on the alleged ground that
he la interested in a contract with
the board of library directors; and
Whereas, the council has investi
gated the facts regarding said mat
ter, the circumstances attending
the same being publicly known;
and the council is convinced that
the purpose of said proposed suit
is to embarrass and annoy a
worthy public official and the
council in the proper discharge of
their public duties, and the same is
not proposed for tho benefit of the
city; and
Whereas, it appears to the coun
cil that there is no proper basis In
fact for said proceedings, and that
the objects thereof are without
merit;
Now, therefore, be it resolved
that the cily attorney be and he is
hereby authorized and directed to
appear in said proceedings before
the attorney general for George
Williams and to take any and all
steps that may be necessary to
properly attend to his Interest as a
member of this council in said pro
posed action.

demonstrated to be such before the de
fendants. Further, he sets forth an

ing been unable to agree.

GROOVE GIRDER RAILS
ORDINANCE IS PASSED
City Council Declares in Favor of
Better Grades on the Im
proved Streets
At a meeting of the city council yes
terday an ordinance was passed which
will compel the street railway compa
nies operating within the city to pro
vide groove-girder rails of not less than
seven Inches In height to be laid on all
lines hereafter established by the com
pany on improved streets within the
corporate limits. The ordinance also
applies to replacing sections of track
more than 600 feet in length.
The ordinance does not require that
groove-girder rails be used at curves,
where guard rails are necessary, or on
gradients of more than 10 per cent. It
is asserted that groove-girder rails
make level streets and lessen the noise
of traffic.
Attorney William Dunn of the Hunt
ington system appeared before the city
council to protest against the adoption
of the ordinance, claiming that its
adoption at this time would mean a
loss of thousands of dollars to the cor
porations he represents, inasmuch as
they had more than $200,000 worth of
T-rails on hand, which could not be
disposed of save at great loss.
Statements were Introduced to show
that the groove-girder rail had proved
a failure in Cincinnati, but the state
ment was met by City Attorney Hewitt
with a communication from the Ohio
metropolis in which it was stated that
the groove-girder rails were an un
qualified success.
City Attorney Hewitt, at the after
noon session of the council, argued at
length for the adoption of the ordin
ance, at the conclusion of which the
measure was unanimously adopted, to
take effect thirty daya after its signa
ture by the mayor.
HUNDRED HOMES OPEN
TO 'QUADRUPLET' BABY
"Jane Doe," one of the babes in the
Wilson quadruplet case, yesterday oc
cupied the attention of Judge Wilbur's
court for a few minutes.
Jane, who is 6 months old, has been
kept for some time at the Children's
Home society. She was returned to
that institution till her adoption can be
arranged.
"I have already had applications
enough to have placed that baby in
hundreds of homes," said Judge Wil
bur.
TRAVELING MAN'S WIFE

Stating that her husband, William E.
Clark, a traveling man, is earning be
tween $400 and $500 a month and not
providing for her, Mrs. R. U Clark, In
a complaint filed In the superior court
yesterday, asks that she be given $150
a month separate maintenance, and
that the husband be directed to pay off
the indebtedness on their home, 1009
Gramercy place. As a further allega
tion the wife says her husband is guilty
of misconduct.

ASK WATER COMMISSION
TO DELAY PIPE LAYING
It was resolved by the city council
yesterday that the board of water
commissioners be requested not to
make any further excavations in the
surface of the roadway of improved
streets In laying service mains until
such time as better regulations regard
ing excavations can be formulated by
the council.
The resolution wasjarought about by
the reading of a petition brom Charles
A. Blackmar, ,on behalf of residents
of Bellevue avenue west of Casco
street, who stated that the water com
pany's men had been tearing up the
streets in laying the mains.
TO THE PEOPLE
It Is with pleasure we announce that
our new storage cellar built especially
for the production of fine bottle beer
was completed May 1, 1910. January
last we began brewing bottle beer,
being determined to have same strict
ly in keeping with our keg or draught
beer.
As to bottle goods we now modestly
claim to have no superiors in the
country when quality is considered.
The beer above referred to fa now on
sale. Why pay fancy prices for HIGH
PRICED EASTERN BEERS when
right here in California you can buy
Coast made beer of tuperlatlva qual
ity? Why pay I lie freight and ehorr
mous advertising bills of Eastern
breweries? It's just a habit —be just
to yourself—be loyal to California.

may be necessary to determine the proper charges for the service furnished or sup
plied by such person, firm, or corporation, and to recommend i. schedule of charges
for such service to the City Council, BUT that only a very few of these Public Util
ity persons, firms and corporations had been investigated, and their charges regu
lated by Ordinance.

PROMISED MRS. PECKHAM
PAINTING TO DROP CASE
Real Estate Broker's Business
Associate Chief Witness in
Divorce Proceedings
Clinton Johnson, former business as
sociate of George C. Peckham, was
the chief witness yesterday in the
Peckham divorce proceedings. He It
was, he testified, who had taken the
photograph of Mr. Peckham and Mrs.
I. S. Van Loan, which had been sub
mitted earlier as part of the evidence
of Mr. Peckham's undue attentions to
other women. The pictures, he said,
were taken at his own suggestion,
because he "knew Mr. Van Loan was
not of a jealous disposition," the in
ference being that Mrs. Peckham was
otherwise. This remark was immedi
ately stricken out.
As to how many times he had wit
nessed "scenes" between Mr. and Mrs.
Peckham he testified, "Oh, thirty or
forty times."
Some amusement was occasioned when
in cross-examination he admitted he
had told Mrs. Peckham at the time the
latter had begun a suit for divorce,
that he would give her an oil painting
when she had dismissed the action.
"Did you give it to her?" asked the
attorney.
"Not yet," replied Johnson.
He further stated Mrs. Peckham had
shown him the Lucy Harper "dear
est" letters and that he had spoken to
Peckham about them. The latter, he
said, denied ever having seen them.
