NEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD O. M. BOYLE Sugar Workers' Union No. 10,519 met Tuesday night at the Potrero Op era-house. Sixteen candidates were obligated. About fifty members suf fered more or less by the fire. These men were assisted by the local union to the extent of $500. The total mem bership is 320. Trade was reported good. Most members are working. The union meets the first and third Tuesday nights and the second Sun day in every month. In a report to Photo Engravers* Union No. 8 of San Francisco, as to the business outlook. President An drew Gallagher said in part: "As to the future of photo engraving in San Francisco and vicinity. I do not think that In saying that the future holds the xnoet alluring prospects for engravers ever known in the history of the city I am carried away by any dreams that the present rush of work or the establishment of more and seemingly better financial plants than ever before might inspire. "To my way of looking at the sit uation one of two things is inevitable — either the city will not rebuild (and I would have to be a rank pessimist to even admit that to be a possibility) or our business, which Is so csential to advertisers, will find a greater field than ever before. "Once a remedy is found for the dila tory tactics of the Insurance companies and the grasping rent gougere are in a measure suppressed, money now held back In fear or disgust, because of these deplorable evidences of greed and trickery, will begin to flow through the proper channels, and Greater San Francisco will be more than a dream. "Then will come the opportunity of a lifetime in the photo engraving in dustry, when every business must ad vertise. If It would survive the com petitive whirlpool and grow with the greatest city of the future. "Some, of course, will fail; that Is natural, but those that succeed will reap the reward of unremitting effort, and we shall as a matter of course, share the golden harvest that is as suredly theirs." At the last, regular meeting of the International Steam and Hot Water Power Pipefitters' and Helpers' Union Xo. 46 the following officers were elected: President, J. J. Winters; vice president. Wiillam Cook; treasurer. J. J. Crogan; financial secretary, R. Friz cll; corresponding secretary and busi ness agent, T. A. Reardon; trustees. A. HundEtrom, D.

The unions of the Chicago stock yards are desirous of taking a hand ia the lnepection of the meat in* the packing plants and through President Michael Donnelly of the Amalgamated Meatcutters ' and Butcher Workmen have already submitted plans to sev eral of the heads of the packing es tablishments. It was proposed that the unions be held responsible for the purity of the products. President Donnelly explained that thi» might oe accomplished by stamping the meat* with the union label to be affixed by the workmen who had a share in th* klllinff and dressing of the carcasses. He cited experiments which he said Lad been tried successfully at Evans vllle, Ind. An answer to the union's proposal is expected shortly. Holders and coremakera la Columbus, Ohio, oa all jobs cave three, are on strike. They want an InereAfw of 25 cents a day.

The high lue eyvtem adopted by a former convention was reaffirmed and an effort by the far Eastern delegates to reduc« th* per capita tax was defeated. A programme to hasten the establishment of the nine hour day was adopteJ, and reports from «2t legates 6howed the establishment of a fifty-hour week In Newark, N.J.; New Yorlc City, and Glencoe, Long Island. A constitutional provision for the protection of local funds was adopted in that all financial oihci&ls must be bonded. The place of holding the next con vention was left. in the hands of the executive board. With regard to the nine-hour day it waa agreed that the financial support of the organization should be guaran teed to locals making such demands. The following officers were elected: General president James T. Gllligan of Lowell; Mass.; first vice president. O. J. Hansen of Holland, Mich.; second vice president, F. V. Turnquist of Lyons.

Recognition of the union and union conditions are desired. The Master Painters' Association/of New Jersey has Just adjourned in Asbury Park. Questions of much moj ment to the association and the trade in general were discussed and much time was given to the consideration of a proposed law for the establishment of trade schools In the large cities of New Jersey. Th^y intend to bend all their energies to place It on the statute books at the next session of the Legis lature. It was claimed that there was a dearth of skilled labor in the paint- Ing trade in this country. Trade schools, it Is said, would cure the evil. Troy Object* to Change. E. P. Troj% who was squelched at Tuesday's meeting of the Supervisors when he wanted to talk on the stable ordinance, sent a communication yes terday to the board airing his views. Troy contends that the ordinance should remain as It Is, permitting prop, erty owners to prevent the location of a livery stable within 200 f^et of them. He argues that the board should not delegate to itself the power to grant special privileges to any One, as the charter is designed to make it a legis lative body only. MORE TROUBLE HAS COLONEL PIPPY. Two Carloads of Shoes and Clothing Sent by Chicago Are Missing Another leak in' the distribution of clothing for the refugees has occurred." Colonel Pippy stated yesterday that' two cars containing shoes and wearing apparel for sufferers in the city have been lost en route trom Chicago. No record is obtainable at the headquar ters of the Southern Pacific Company. The consignment was started from Chi cago over a month ago, with the rest of the goods which" the relief commit tee of the Eastern city had purchased.- Colonel Plppy Is at a loss as to what has become of the cars. In bringing the matter before his colleagues he said: "This Is a matter we must at tend to at once. We must locate those two cars of the Chicago consignment which are missing. It has been de layed long enough. We have made in- Qulrles of the railroad people and they do not know where the goods are." SIX-BTORY STRUCTURE ON MISSION AT FOURTH Eighty Thousand Dollar Building to Be Erected for Mrs. E. K. Latham. Another tangible evidence of the determination of property owners quickly^ to rebuild down town was made apparent . yesterday when Mac- Kenzie & Underhni made final- ar rangements to erect a six-story and basement Class B commercial build ing for Mrs. Emily K. Latham on the south side of Mission street, seventy feet west of Fourth. The building will be 40x160 feet, extending through to Minna street, and fronting thirty feet on the latter thoroughfare. This building will replace a five story Class C structure destroyed by the fire. MacKenzle & Underhill state that work on the new building would have begun before the bricks had cooled after the fire but for the fact that the insurance companies would not grant permission to remove the walls until about ten days ago. No sooner had that permission been ob tained than operations were com menced. The building will cost be tween $70,000 and $60,000. E. G. Bollcs is the architect. Contracts were let yesterday for a permanent three-story frame struc ture to be used for stores and apart ments on the northeast corner of Thirteenth and Valencia streets for the L C. Moore Estate Company. The cost of the building will be about $7000. Edward G. Bollcs, the archi tect, say* he will have the building ready for occupancy in ninety days. A. J. Rich & Co. have moved their offices to 82 Kearny street, near Mar ket, adjoining Maskey's . candy store. MacKenzie & Underhill announced yesterday -that they would move to larger offices on Fillmore street In a. week or ten days and would be located downtown later.

REPUBLICANS LOOK FOR A CHAIRMAN. Would Like a 'Man of Desirable Qualities to Officiate at Santa Gruz NAMES DISCUSSED HUGH M. BURKE The Republican \u25a0 leaders would like to find -just the right man for chair man of the State convention-to.be held in Santa Cruz. It is acknowledged that former Senator Thomas Flint' of San Juan, who gained ample experi ence In the Legislature and elsewhere as a presiding officer, ' would be able to meet the requirementß of the situa tion, but it Is said that he- is. preju diced against Dr.: Pardee and derives special pleasure from the entertain ment of that prejudice. George A. Knight Is on the list of the capables, and It is quite freely admitted 'that he could bring, to the discharge of the important functions of presiding offlcer the best pair, of convention lungs in the wide, wide West. But Mr. Knight, as a national commltteeman of the party.-has no in clination to descend to State affairs. Moreover, he is the special advocate of Congressman Gilletfs claims for the governorship, therefore the deduc tion that he would not be acceptable to the Pardee, Edson and Porter forces. \ : There is a feud of long standing be tween Knight and the Union League Club. Something happened prior to Thomas R. Bard"s election to the United/States Senate which severed the orator from the league. The guif was so wide and deep that Knight could not in Justice to his own feel- Ings join S. M. Shortridge and other spell-binders of the era in. giving the glad voice of welcome to the states man of Ventura.\ In a letter to Bard the orator explained his absence from the function in the Union League^Club rooms and club gossip gave the Sen ator the rest of the story. The gulf is still yawning. The great fire which swept away so many animosities, political and personal, never touched the principals ip this feud. DISTRICT REGISTRATION. Superior Judge Henry A. Melvln has been elevated to the high office of exalted ruler of the Elks.. It is doubt ful if a better selection could have been made from the whole band of the country's Elks. The position, how ever, is not free from the element, of embarrassment. Already the "col ored man and brother," who Is quite numerous and 'Intrusively Insistent about election time, wants to know how Exalted Ruler Melvin stands on the proposition presented at Denver to deprive the. black man of the glory incident to the display of the. Elks' badge. It Is argued that there Is a black sheep in every flock, and why should there not be a black Elk in every band? Whoever introduced the resolution to exclude the colored Elk from the privileges of the badge de noting the order must have been Ig norant of Judge Melvin'a aspirations to sit on the , Supreme Court bench, alongside of Chief Justice Beatty and Associate Justice McFarland. The politicians want to know what Judge Melvin ., will say .to the Afro- American League when he comes home and goes into the campaign with renewed ardor. Registrar Adams makes this an nouncement: Public- notice. Is hereby given that district .registration In the I eighteen Assembly districts in the city and county of San Francisco will take place on Friday, July 20, 1906, from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m.

ADAMS, Registrar of Voters. HAVE RIGHT TO VOTE. William H. Dftvls, attorney for the State Board of Harbor Commissioners, chairman of the duly recognized Re publican county -committee jj of San Francisco and formerly executive sec retary of Governor Gage, has no hesi tancy in saying that every vot«r who was properly registered for the last election and has not moved . since he registered is entitled to vote at the forthcoming primary election. He re gards the proposition as absurd \ that the Election Commissioners can legis late on the right of franchise by order ing a new registration for the primary election this year.* Davis Intends togo to his votlng'place on August, 14 and tender his voter 'He will insist 011 its acceptance on . the ground that he was registered for the last election j and has not since changed his residence Other electors will follow his example.

Gallagher- , Wants New Gity Hall Built on Lot OwnedbyMunicipality SITES AVAILABLE Supervisor Gallagher-stated yester day that he Is opposed to the.accept ance of the offer of Andrew McCreery to allow: the- municipality to erect /a temporary .CJty Hall On his property, oh the -corner of Eighth : and Mission streets, the city to pay nothing beyond the taxes on the: land. Gallagher, is a member of the special committee ap pointed by the boardto'conferwlth the Mayor,- oh the proposition of accepting McCreery's offer. The committee has so far, been unable to arrange a,con ference with the 1 Mayor. Gallagher said: \u0084 ' 'V \u25a0\u25a0' "\u25a0' }'\u25a0 '-. \u25a0"\u25a0 . :: \u25a0"\u25a0 \"l' do not know how closely Mayor Is wedded; to^the. plan to build the City Hair on McCreery.'s lot, but he may; not regard It in the same light thatjl do. I see some very grave ob jections to accepting' the off er. In the nfst place, . why should the city pay taxes amounting to f4OOO per year .on the lot when it possesses a number of more desirable sites which can be util ized for the purpose? 1 There, are Union Square, Hamilton; Square and ; several lots on which municipal buildings were destroyed by the flre that are available: "We certainly would be criticised for accepting an offer which requires the city to pay rental after a certain term, should the permanent City Hall not be erected in time. Then, again, Mr. Mc- Creery's title might be brought into question and this would subject 'us to the exactions of a new landlord, who could charge us any amount he pleased as rental for the site. . "I am of the opinion, that the $150, 000 set aside In the budget to pay rent als of buildings used by the city can be. utilized to build a temporary''struc ture on some site belonging to the mu nicipality. I will advocate that method of procedure when we'hold our confer ence with the Mayor."; x WEBB WILL DECIDE ACT'S LEGALITY.
