\u25a0 intrenched in trades unionism as the j
central portion. Several organizers are |
k«*pt busy in' the south and they have I
all done excellent work. Take as an j.
instance the labors of L. B. Biddle, or- |
ganizer for the American Federation of |
Labor. He is also acting for the State j
Federation fit Labor. He has recently j
been in San Diego, and while there he j
organized the retail clerks, the milkers j
.and the millmen. He has reorganized
i the marblr- setters' helpers in Los An
geles. Besides that he has formed the
Metal Trades, Council and a volun
tary organization. This all been
."accomplished by one man since the first

will be open. Tonight the meat mar
kets will be open until 8 o'clock. Mem
bers of the union wish this fact to be

they advanced one-third, and hours
reduced 15 per cent. It is a record of
j which they can be justly proud.

"One for all and
all for one" is the
motto of the Swiss
republic, and it is
beginning to look
as if all the Swiss
in California were
for one candidate In
The Call's gold
prize contest. That
one is Miss Rose
, Breschinl, daughter
of John Bresehini,
merchant and post
master of the vil
lage of Blanco,
Monterey County,
one of the best
known- members of
the Swiss colony in
California. . . Miss
Hose is but 12 years
of age — a mere
rosebud, as it were
— but she Is rapidly
developing into a
full-blown Swiss-
American Beauty.
Miss Breschini did
not enter the con
test of her own vo
lition, but after
some one put in
6000 votes for her,
without her Knowl
edge, she made up
her mind to become
an active contest
ant and do the best
she could to win
one Oi the big prizes.' Noticing how
loyally the Italian residents of the
State were supporting Miss N'ormaMe
rani, the daughter of a native of Italy.
Miss Bresehini felt confident that thjfe
patriotic. Swiss would just; as . loyally
support' the -daughter of one lof . their
compatriots. \u25a0 In . this she has not been
disappointed, for, though \u25a0 the Italians
outnumber .the Swiss very largely in
California, Miss Bresehim is receiving
just as strong support from her father's
countrymen, proportionately, as . Miss
Merani is receiving from the Italian
Miss Bresehini registered 24,200 votes
yesterday and 11.100 the day before,
bringing her total up to 85,900 and-,
making her fifth in the. running. She
has left "Jack" Emerson, the populMr
newsboy of San Jose, who for a long
while was Xo. ">, far in the rear, and
If Miss Hayward does not move lively,
Miss Breschlnl, will soon oust her from

County, .Irma Klaumann. captured
third prize In the first period of the
j contest, *and "history may repeat itself
!,in regard. '
Miss Mollye Sheridanof Stockton, by
a gain of 3700, recovered tenth place
from Miss Lois B. Pfltzer. : ;'•;•'.
George H. Angove of Sonoma and
Mary C. Deasy of Napaboth moved up
ahead of Gladys Adcock, the former by
\u25a0a .gain of 2800 and the later by 1000.
Miss Adcock's friend, 'Mr. Easterling,
got her 300 votes more, but it 'was
not enough to prevent her retrograding
to Xo. 17.
: Miss Pearl Van Meter of Lafayette
by a gain of 1400 moved up two de
grees to No. 27, but is not yet within
the. prize winning limit. .' ..
Miss Jennie Tibbetts of Hanford
scored her first 2000 votes. As the, end
of the period is so near. Miss T'bbetts
will have to hurry if . she -expects to
win a prize in. this heat of the race.

Coast Steamship Company 'has disposed
of, -the greater portion of its property,'
according; to* a charge made yesterday
by "Attorney Stephen Costello.,
' Costello i3 r the. attorney in' the suit
brought* by James Mitchell ;to - recover
$25,000 from, jhe^Callfomia: and Oregon
Coast ; Steamship: Company .'for the
death of his 'son in the explosion 'which-"
took j place on the steamer. Dlspsttch on
December S, 1905, and he declares that

bring action to collect by, other means
should the", defendant company en
deavor to avoid payment, as : he be
lieves it will. ; :\u25a0;.; Y<i\ /.v : ;,
'•According to Costello, -the .company
has now "but one of its fleet- of vessels
left,, having disposed .of all the re
mainder. 'He declares that the • Dis
patch, the steamer on which the fatal
exp-losion occurred, was .sold, to the
Pacific Coast Lumber, Company on De
cember 8 of last year, just exactlyone
year « from the date of the explosion,
and , that the Aberdeen : was -sold' to the
same company on November 5 and the
Prentiss on December 21. He also
says that ; . fiie Hobbs, Wall Company
purchased the Navarro on October 25,
F. , Lu'de'rrhan ' the Gualala on October
4 and Robert Tyson the Fulton during 1
October." , • .
. Costello says that- these sales have
all been "made since the Mitchell suit
has been pending gnd • that the Nome
City Is. now Uie only. property -in the
possession of the company. He charges
that the capital : stock of the company
has been reduced from |500,000 to $50,
000 for .; the . same .purpose and that
the. funds derived from the sales have
been distributed among, the'-stockhold
ers'-of the company, so that the com
pany actually, has at the present-time
only $25,000 or $30,000 .worth of prop
erty. - I / ' r :^-~.-
