The agitation started in Columbus.
0.. by Secretary Michael Goldsmith of
She Ohio Federation of L.a.bor against
f he alleged violations of convict laboi
laws has • aroused organized labor
throughout that State. Meetings are
being held in variou? section? for the
purpose of aiding the fight. The In
vestigation is based on the law provid
ing that not over 10 per cent of con
vict labor shall be contracted to private
manufacturing concerns. The law pro
vides, however, that unexpired con
tract? may be finished by the convicts.
Jn the interim between the passing
of the bill and the publication of the
law. Secretary KSoltJsmith charrres that
Fftvon msmufaeturing concerns, the war
den and the board of managers of the
Ohio Penitentiary entered into a con
spiracy whereby new contracts for five
years each were made. This charge
was made after an investigation of the
record? of the penitentiary. Secretary
Ooldsmith declares that as a result of

against all parties to the agreements.

for the district
Typographical Union No 21 will be
in regular rionthly session tomorrow
afternoon at Labor Council Temple.
Much routine matter Is to be disposed
of and In addition several matters of
considerable importance axe likely to
draw a full attendance.
Portland has an ordinance provid
ing for a free employment bureau in
which work f.nd workers are to be
listed free of charge and which will
supply the place of the private em
ployment offices, against which there
has been bo much complaint In the
past The ordinance is inoperative as
yet but will become a feature of Port
iand's municipal government as soon
as the appropriation to support it U
votcd>*' the council. Other cities are
V-atching Portland's experiment with
great Interest, and it Is not unlikely
that a similar ordinance will be pro
posed in many other cities before the
end of the year.
The American Federation of ka bt ] r
Is opposed to any increase in the mili
tary and naval equipment of the na
tions. In speaking on *his subject
Samuel Gompers said:
"The trades union movement is op
posed to war. While it may not Ue
practical to ask the immediate dis
armament of all countries,* the times
.lomand that the Increase in armed
mlHtary and naval force, be re
•stricted."
k The Beardslee arbitration bill which
A - before the Iyegifrlature does not meet
r wl3T much favor among union labor
leaders. They do not find any epe
cinc objections to the bill but hold
that, while it may do no harm It can
not possibly do any good. The bill
, provide* for » tribunal composed of
O. M. BOYLE
a representative of the employers, a
representative of the unions and a
professional man, whose duty It shall
be to Investigate and report upon
trades disturbances, actual and pros
pective. The fact that the commis
sion cannot possibly have any power
for settling disputes would. In the
opinion of local labor leaders, make its
work entirely negative.
The seventh anniversary of Picture
Frame "Workers' Union Nf. 147 will be

The regular weekly meeting of - the
Marine Cooks and Stewards' Association
of the Pacific was called to order by H.
Fra«er. Secretary Bteidle reported
shipping very g-ood and plenty of men
ashore. The Seattle agent etated that
shipping on sailing vessels and steam
ers was fair. The San Pedro agent
wrote that shipping was good and men
scarce.
Because he counterfeited and sold
imitations of the Cigarmakers' Inter
national Union label, Albert Heyman
of Chicago has been fined $200 and
cost 6. A similar case against another
Chicago cigar man is still pending.
The prompt conviction of Heyman has
encouraged George J. Thompson, label
secretary of the union, and a number of
other complaints are to be filed. Hey
man Is accused of selling his counter
feit labels In all parts of the country,
even in San Francisco.

house have lost their appeal in the
Supreme Court and are serving their
sentences.
Members of the Broom-Makers' Union
are complaining of the increase in the
number of convict and Chinese-made
brooms which are being shipped into
this State. They declare that condi
tions are worse than for a long time
and members are anxious to have the
present Legislature take some action
that would do away with the sale of
convict-made goods. It is probable
that some definite action with this pur
pose in view will be taken at the next
meeting of the union.
Grand Master John J. Hanrahan of
the Brotherhood of l/w-omotive V\ re
men has announced that his organiza
tion will present a demand for an

within the next month. Other demands
are to be made.
Tl5«? parade of trader unionists in
Portland to express their support of
the striking C3riuen of that city was
a great success, notwithstanding the
fact that many employers let it be
known i!mt they would consider par
ticipation In the parade on the part
of any employe sufficient cause for dis
missal. The men paraded anyway and
no dismissals have been announced yet.
An advance, of 2^£ per cent in the
wages of the men employed in th«
Pittsburg sheet and tinplate mills has
been announced to go Into effect im
mediately. A flMlng ecale Is in force
between the Arr. alga mated Association
of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers and
th© companies Jn whose mills the mem

TELLS OF MYSTERY
IN WOMAN'S SUIT
kit r-*i r~-t ' mi
Attorney Sharp Says There
Is Strange Phase in the
Action to Recover Wages
CARED FOR HIS WARD
Behind a suit just filed In Justice
Golden's court by George D. Shad
bourne, attorney for Mrs. Bridget Dona
hue, against Attorney William B. Sharp,
as the guardian of Ellen Crowley, an
incompetent, to recover ?290 alleged to
be due her for taking care of Miss
Crowley, is a story of extended litiga
tion wHich promises to reach a' climax
within a few days.
It Is alleged that Sharp was appoint
ed guardian of the invalid on Febru
ary 16, 1599, and took charge of her
property, which was valued at about
18500. Those who are acting on be
half of Mrs. Donahue say they will
Insist upon an accounting, declaring
that their client was employed to care
for the aged woman and was to receive
$10 a week for her keep. Mrs. Dona
hue alleges that seven months' pay
Is due her, and that she should not be
compelled to sue the guardian, as he
should have ample funds with which
to meet her claims.
Attorney Shadbourno declined last
night to discuss his future plans In the
case.
The matter has been in the courts
before, according to Charles Shurtllff,
attorney for the American Surety Com
pany, which is on the defendant's bond
for $15,000. He stated yesterday that
while his company was interested in
the suit now pending, it had no part
in the proceedings. Some time before
the earthquake, he said, an account
ing of the estate had been asked for,
but he had not learned what had
been done -in the matter, presuming
that the proceeding had been dropped
temporarily on account of the disaster.
Much care has been taken by the
principals in the suit to guard. the de
tails of the case from publicity. When
Sharp was asked regarding the suit
he replied that he believed there was
something mysterious behind the ac
tion against him.
Sharp said that he could not at pres
ent discuss this mysterious "some
thing," and that he merely anticipated
further unpleasantness, and while he
had an Idea who was behind the suit,
he was not sure as to the person's
identity. H<? admitted that some money
was due Mrs. Donahue, but said the
only reason it had not been paid was
that he had been "hard up" since the
earthquake. He that he could
and would pay It in time.
Sharp is a well-known young: attor
ney, of a prominent family. He lives
at 137 Orovr street. Tt is expected that
the case will be called In court !n a
few days ,as the summons has already
been served.

The troubles that have been brewing

SARGENT'S RULING
UNPRECEDENTED
Many Japanese He Ordered
Landed Are Known to
Be Contract Laborers
NORTH FILES REPORT
United Btates Immigrant Commis
sioner North wired an elaborate report
yesterday to Commissioner Qeneral
Sargent regarding the, 434 Japanese la
borers who arrived 'on the steamer
Korea from Honolulu.
It disclosed, amongr other things, that
a number of the immigrants had gone
to Hawaii * originally as a result of
the work of the Immigration societies
in Japan . inducing their immigration.
When evidence is obtained to the ef
fect that such is the case the immi
grants are not allowed to land, says
North.
North's report ehowa that of the
Japanese on board the ship 160 had
left Japan as late. . as December, and
366 of them had departed from that
country for Hawaii during J9OB. - The
Commissioner had a careful examina
tion made of seventeen whose cases he
throught should be looked into, and
thirteen of them were found to be con
tract laborers. One hundred and sixty
two of the Japanese said they were,
going to work for a railroad, but were
unable to say what road. ,
The recent arrivals, the report states,
are such as have been guaranteed
work in Hawaii from one to three
years by the immigration societies in
Japan. On their arrival at Honolulu
they are met by labor agents from the
mainland, who offer them higher
wages .than they were " promised, and
they come to San Francisco. {
The admission in the report that
thirteen out of seventeen of the Japa
nese were found to be contract labor
ers, coupled with the fact that despite
the report the thirteen were landed
here by order of Commissioner General
Sargent, is inexplicable. North refuses
to explain it and refers his questioners
to Washington for , a solution of the
mystery. The fact that Sargent or
dered the thirteen landed after having
been advised that they were contract
laborers is unprecedented in the his
tory of the immigration service.
WOMEN WAGE SUIT
OVER OLD TABLE
The desirw to possess an antique ma
hogany table has led Mrs. Frank Pow
ers and Mrs. Elizabeth Green Into a
lawsuit before Barney Flood. Justice
of the Peace. The women would have
liked to have the Supreme Court pass
o:i the question of ownership, but Mrs.
Powers' husband, who is' a. lawyer and
who drew the complaint, instructed
her that the value of the article in
controversy came under the limit
which. any other than a Justice's court
would consider, and Justice Flood was
thereupon caljed upon to emulate the
wisdom of Solomon and decide- to
which of the women the ancient ma
hogany should be given.
Mrs. Powers claimed that she pur
chased the table from Mrs. Green, and
her husband was getting . the better
of the argument when Mrs* Green set
up the defense that the purchase was
conditional. on her bp!ng able to secure
another mahogany table . it an auction
salo of antiques. This apparently sot
tied the matter: but the- end was not
Jet. Attorney Powers, after a consul
tation with his wife and client," came
back with the rebuttal that It was due
to Mrs. Green's own negligence that
she had not secured, the other table.
She had slept on her rights, its It were,
while some more wide awake bidder
had walked off with the table. This,
too, apparently settled the matter, but
Mrs. Green surrebutted to the effect
that she had used due diligence to. bid
In the other table, am! Justice Flood
said that it would be necessary for him
to take the case , under advisement.
Mrs. Green Is the wife of President
Green of the Pacific Coast Casualty
Company. . .'..:.. ii

MARY AN N MOUNTS
WRONG VEHICLE
Court. .-Thinks She, Should
Have Ridden a Water
Wagon Instead of Bicycle
HER FALL IS HEAVY
"This was one time I wasn't drunk,"
pleaded Mary Ann Hamilton, in Judge
Shortall's court yesterday morning.
Mary Ann, who la portly of figure
and florid of countenance, appeared
with a fetching little bicycle cap
perched on' one* side of her head and
affixed to her abundant but somewhat
disarranged locks with a huge stick
pin. Her make-up was not altogether
guileless' and- the bicycle cap turned
out to be the exhibit on which she re
lied most In her defense.
Patrolman \u25a0 Jiminez told the court
how he had extracted Mary Ann from
the gutter on Mission street and how
her language had been most shocking
while she rode to the station in the
patrol wagoA
"This is one time he is wrong," In
sisted the prisoner, laying stress on the
singularity of the event.
"You see, it was Just this way, Tour
Honor," Mary Ann demurred. "You
know I haven't been feeling very well
for some weeks and some of me frlenda
advised me to try bicycle riding for me
health, .Judge." Readjusting exhibit
A with another Jab of the mammoth
stick pin, she continued:
"I started out from Twenty-first
street on me wheel; like this, Judge" —
clutching an imaginary pair of handle
bars — "but the th!ng slipped in the
mud, and there was I with me new
dress spoiled and feeling awful bad —
indeed I was. Judge — and I Just took
two drinks— 'deed I did, I was feeling
that bad about me new dress. But this
was one time I wasn't drunk, Judge."
• "How long have you been riding a
bicycle, Mary Ann?" queried hl3 .Honor.
"Sure I learned to ride a wheel eight
een years ago In Philadelphia." v
"I didn't know "that ladies rode bi
cyles In 1889," responded the Judge,
who | evidently feared Mary Ann was
guilty of an anachronism.
"Sure and they did, Judge. Didn't I
ride me wheel every morning in Fair
mount Park?"
"Well, I don't want to doubt your
word, Mary Ann, but you might tell us
who your friends were who loaned you
the wheel yesterday?"
"Sure they are most reputable par
ties. Judge, and I wouldn't be wishing
to mention/ their \names. Judge."
"Then I will have to find you guilty."
"Thanks. Judge," nonchalantly re
sponded she of the bicycle cap, turning
