ganized labor is receiving a boost there

ping was medium and that plenty of

Pedro agent wrote that shipping was
slow on sailing vessels.
There is a well-established rumor In

shortly ask for a raise in wages from
the three roads controlling the street
railways of that city. The First-street
Railroad and the Santa. Clara Railroad
pay their men 21. 22 and 28 cents an
hour, according to length of service.
The Interurban Company pays 27 hi and
30 cents an hour. It will be Insisted
that the First-street road and the Han
chette road meet the wage paid by the
Interurban. The latter wage is regard
ed as little enough. Besides this an
eight-hour day will be insisted upon.
The new wage schedule will take effect
June 1.
The Fresno Federated Trades Council
has been giving a series of open meet
ings which has greatly strengthened
the labor movement in that city. The
last one for this season was given
the other night and a' most excellent
programme •was rendered. A better un
derstanding has been established in this
way between employer and employed
and a more thorough knowledge tof the
principles of trades unionism has been
disseminated among the employers.
The last meeting of the Sailors' Un
ion of the Pacific was presided over by

Labor unions of Cleveland have a
new scheme to build their Labor Tem
ple. To add to the amount already
raised It is proposed to have individual
unions subscribe for a certain number
of shares of etock each month. The
lathers have promised to take ten
shares a month, the barbers, painters
and machinists five shares a month;
gl&ssworkers one share a month, and
the Eteamfltters decided to take 127
shares in sixty days. Other unions in
Cleveland are subscribing for 60 many
shares monthly and the plan seems to
work admirably. This idea might be
worth considering nearer home.
Butte. Mont, has had no dally pa
pers for several weeks owing to a
strike In the printing craft. The Ty
pographical Union of that city has
submitted to th« publishers of the pa
pers of that city a proposition to re
turn Its members to work at the new
scale of $6 a day, the matter of wages
to be decided by arbitration, the pub
lishers having refused to pay more
than $5.60 per day. This plan is now
under consideration by the publishers
and it Is probable that the papers will
resume publication this week. The
Teamsters' Union of Butte struck yes
terday for a- EO-cent increase In the
daily wage. -
The Ohio Federation of Labor has
gone on record against the products
of convict labor being placed in com
petition with free labor. Ohio, Wis
consin and Illinois have laws requir
ing the convict labor label to be placed
on all goods made by convicts. There
is a proposed federal law which would
require all convict-made goods to bear
the label also. Secretary Goldsmith
of the federation. In speaking of the
proposed law, said: ,
"Ohio firms employing convict labor
are compelled to label their goods sold
in Ohio, but there Is no obstacle to
their sending these goods Into other
States and selling them there un
marked.* Ohio cannot stop this and
that Is the deficiency that the national
resolution proposes. It states that the
*ame conditions shall prevail in the
disposal of goods shipped into another
State as obtain, in the State in which
they were manufactured."
This bill passed the House of Rep
resentatives, but will not come up in
the Senate until next December. It Is
tbe request of organized ' labor the
country over that unions communicate
with Senators and bring all pressure
possible to bear on them to pass the
bill.

WEDDINGS CAUSE RISE
IN THE PRICE OF RICE
Marriages and Crop Failure
in China Responsible
for the Advance
The price of rice has been advanced
and the retail dealers offer a dual
explanation. -In the first place they
say the floods in China have caused a
great crop shortage. The crop fail
ures have been responsible for the in
creased prices throughout the world,
but San Francisco dealers say that
local conditions have brought about
a further advance. They state that the
large number of weddings held In San
Francisco of late has so augmented
tbe demand for rice that an advance
in price has followed.
To prove that their contention is
not purely an academic one," local deal
ers point to the unusually large num
ber of marriage licenses issued in San
Francisco. Generous quantities of rice
are used to speed every bride on her
honeymoon and the grocers claim that
the amount Is sufficient to affect the
market.
KISSES WIFE WHILE SHE
IS ON WITNESS STAND
An overstrenuous display of affec
tion on the part of Sebastian Merkel,
an old soldier, in Judge Graham's court
yesterday morning almost prevented
the success of a reconciliation between
him and his wife, Marie Merkel, which
was being nicely arranged when he
rushed to the witness stand, clasped
her in his arms and kissed her.
Merkel and his wife have been mar
ried twelve years and have a nine
year-old daughter. Merkel is 64 years
old and his wife 47. Three weeks ago
they separated, Mrs. Mertcel beginning
a suit for divorce on the ground of
cruelty. She applied for al.mony and
the matter came up for hearing 'yes
terday. Merkel was present and ex
pressed himself plainly as being op
posed to the divorce which his wife
sought.
"I would like to have her come home
with me," he volunteered. "We will
be aappy and comfortable and I'll be
as good to her as I can. I've got a good
little woman and she is a good wife.
The trouble is that she hollers at me,
and then I get excited and put on my
coat and walk out. Please send us
home together. Judge."
Judge Graham said that was Just
what he wanted to do, and Merkel
went further into particulars. He
drew from his pocket a sealed envel
ope, which he handed to the court.
"That's my will," he cried. "Break
it open and read It. You will see I
have signed everything over to my
wife. I am old and can't work, but I
have a pension and a little Income, and
I get. up every morning and make the
coffee while my wife reads the paper.
I am crazy after her and I can't do
without her."
Judge Graham suggested that the es
tranged pair return together and try
for two months to make up. It was
all that Merkel had asked, and he
sprang from his seat, ran to the Wit
ness stand, where his wife sat, and
covered her face with kisses. Mrs.
Merkel objected, and the storm clouds
again (fathered. But before the good
work could be undone/ Judge Graham
called the couple Into his. chambers,
and five minutes later they left the
court together, under promise to re
main together at least two months
longer. - . < ' X
A divorce was granted yesterday by
Judge Mogan to Laura A. Bennlcuff

sion of the two boards into one, -to be

nHYOLTTH IS PROSPEROUS .
President Taylor of Bnard" of Trade
Gives Account of Conditions
RHTOLITE, March 11.— B. F. Taylor,
president of the Rhyolite Board of
Trade, In his report Just before leav
ing for the East on a tour in the in
terests of the Rhyolite Board of
Trade, said: "There has been no time
in the history of the district In which
Rhyolite was as - prosperous as it is
now. There are more miners at work
In. the mines today than there have
been before and the supplies, machin
ery and hoists that are coming in
dally more than fill the capacity of
the road. The Echo Lee district,
twenty-five miles south of the city, is
also In excellent shape. There have
been rich strikes In the Lee Gold Grot
to and upon the Echo' Lee properties,
while the consolidation, of the Burro
Interests will enable .active mining to
be begun on that property at once. ,
"The telegraph rate to > the Paciflo
Coast has "been cut-.to 50 cents for
ten-word messages by personal order
of Colonel dowry and the Santa Fe
officials have, assured me that they
will enter Into no trade agreement
with the Salt Lake that will be detri
mental-to Rhyolite interests in South
ern California. I have urged the
building of the San Pedro smelter for
the purpose of saving from 100 to 200
miles in the hauling distance to the
smelters, for the engineers of the Las
Vegas and Tonopah Railroad gave an
estimate of 80,000 tons of shipping ore
when the road was first talked of,
and with Ahat . much ore in the mines
a hundred miles on each ton will make
an awful, difference to the shipper in
his cost price. '
"The spur track on the Montgomery-
Shoshone line is practically complete
and all that Is needed now is the lay
ing of the steel'to make that line com

chased from Chicago capitalists. The
mine is three and a half miles from
Luning- and a short distance from Mina.

just completed by the Nevada Ore
Sampling Company, has been purchased
by Scott & Amann and R. H. Miller,
who will, conduct the works as an in

with the smelter. trust. The works has
a capacity of 300 tons per day. It will
buy and handle all classes of ores. The
first consignment of ore for the new
sampler, which .has never yet turned
a wheel beyond the test runs, will
come from the old Nevada Champion.
