FAVOR REORGANIZATION
OF THE TRADES COUNCIL
Union Men in Sympathy
With Electrical Workers
Attend Mass-Meeting
CHARGE UNFAIRNESS
Federation of Labor Likely
to Take a Hand in
the Controversy
More than 1000 union men met in
Walton's Pavilion yesterday afternoon
and organized a revolt against the au
thority of the Building Trades Council
and P. H. McCarthy. A resolution to
the effect that a reorgar . ;ation of the
council should be effecu-.i at once be
cause of the expulsion of Local Union
No. 6 of the Electrical Workers from
the building trades body was adopted
unanimously.
The mass meeting was called by the
electricians and all members of build
ing mechanics" unions in good stana
ing were invited to participate. There
\u25a0were many hodcarriers, \u25a0 carpenters,
plasterers, tilelayers, etc., present, in
addition to a majority of the members
of the Electrical Workers' Union.
It was charged \u25a0 by members of No. 6
that a squad of policemen that ap
peared on the scene under Sergeant
Brophy before the meeting was called
to order had been sent at the request
of persons opposed to the electricians
to make it appear that the meeting
was a disorderly gathering of malcon
tents and followers of the red banner."
C- E. Jackson was elected chairman
md Georgre Russell secretary of the
\u25a0-. vHing. "
McCarthy is blessed
Albert E. Cohn of the committee from
No. 6 stated the object of the meeting
and reviewed the trouble between the
electrical workers and the building
Trades Council. He said the members
of No. 6 had individually held out for
more than the minimum wage scale,
but that no action had been taken nor
strike declared by the electricians as a
union. The Building Trades Council
had taken the view that the union was
responsible for the demands made by
1U members and had expelled the union
without fair trial, Cohn said. For this
action he blamed P. H. McCarthy, de
claring that Electrical Mechanics'
Union No. 1,. which had been organized
by McCarthy, was composed of "scabs,"
strike-breakers and incompetent men
from all over the country who could
not get more wages than the minimum
provided for in the union scale.
Cohp mentioned some of the mem
bers of No. 1. declaring tnat Peter A.
Clifford, business agent, was formerly
a clerk in the Assessor's office; that one
Brooks was formerly a Pinkerton de
tective employed to import nonunion
men. and that affidavits were in pos
session of the Committee showing the
records of other .members to be not
strictly In accord with unionism.
REORGAMZATIO.Y OF COUNCIL
Cohn then introduced a resolution
condemning the action of the Building
Trades Council and it was adopted
unanimously. It is as follows:
Wber^ss. It has be«»n clearly demonstrates
within thp past w*#V that Iyval L'nion Xo. 6
of th<» International Brotherhod of Electrical ]
Workers cannot p*-t a fair trial before the pres
ent official* of the Building Trades Conurll. and
ss it has been clearly demonstrated that P. H. ,
McCarthy is working solely in the interest of
tbe Contractors' Association, be it
Resolred. That it in the sense of this mert
ing of bailding trades mechanics tbni a r«*
organization of tbe Building Trades ' Council be
effected at one«. » :
E. R. Cosey of Carpenters' Union
No. 5 offered an amendment winch was
rejected. It \u25a0was. as follows:
Resolved. That ' until such time ss local
\u25a0 Ucioa" Xo. 6 is given a. fair trial by tbe Build
ing Trades Council, we, as union men. refuse
to be called off Jobs where members of. Local
No. «J are working. • • , ..
Each speaker, before being given the
floor, was. compelled .to give his name
and the name of his /inioni In dis
cussing the original resolution mem
bers of various unions asked informa
tion regarding the allegation that Mc-
Carthy was working in the interests of
the contractors..
Cohn replied. that McCarthy had re
forred all strange eJectrltians who ap
plied to him for credentials and em
ployment to tn«» president of the Con
tractors* Association. Chairman Jack
son then reviewed the trouble at the
Falnnoßt Hotel. •
Anthony McGinty of the hodcarriers j
said that McCarthy had a' machine: sim- I
ilar to those at the command. of "Ruef
and Tammany- Hall" and -that he was
using this machine to benefit himself
and his capitalistic friends at the ex
pense of the laboring men. McGinty
advocated deposing McCarthy at once.
MAKRS PLEA FOR CALMNESS
John Ca'.lon. one of_ the plumbers,
made a plea for cool, deliberate meth
ods in breaking the power of Mc-
Carthy and reorganizing the Building
Trades Council.. He urged that this
be done through the various unions
by. unseating objectionable members of
the council and putting in their places
men who would not be dominated by
McCarthy.
A. E. Smith of the carpenters said
that the president of the council held
stray by browbeating the delegates. He
called him the "Abe Ruef of the Build
ing Trades Council" and said that if
the list of delegates were compared
with the pay roll. of the Board of Pub
lic Works and' the Board of Education,
a strange similarity woujd be found.
He urged ..that in the reorganization
of the council, as proposed. 'all politics
be eliminated and that "office-holders
be barred."
.. R,' B. Harland, president of the Dis
trict Council of Carpenters of Alameda
County, stated that the unions he rep
resented were heartily In favor of the
plan of reorganization and would
stand by the electrical workers.
PROMISES OF SUPPORT
, Many other assurances . of support
were . given and a resolution was
adopted providing 'that three members
Of each local in the building industry
be appointed "for the purpose of ef
fecting ways and means to re-form the
Building Trades Council." \'
The mass meeting was then ad
journed subject Jto the call of the chair
man.
Vice President M.fJ. Sullivan yes- .1
terday received a telegram from Grand!
President McNuUy ; saying that McNulty
would me*>t President TJompers of/ the
American Federation of, Labor on Tues
day. It js. probable that. these officials
will discuss the status ; of .the electrical
\u25a0workers inllthe^ present - controversy.
lyooal No." 6 i operates \u25a0 under a '< charter
of the American Federation of L«abpr
and its officials t^laim that -the- Build-
Ing Trades Council; Is 'therefore re
sponsible to the; national body for ex-
pelling No. 6. The officials of the
council do not recognize^ the authority
of the federation in the matter.
, One of the points brought out at the
meeting , was 1 that an .un just-spirit was
shown by the council when, as stated
by Cohn of, the electricians. It decided
that a fine *>f $100! should be collected
from each member of No. 6 "who might
peek membership in No. 1.-, .

The women of
San Francisco have
a beauty all of
their own. The only
other two cities in
this country where
the women can
claim this distinc
tion are New York
and New Orleans.
The New York wo
men of the typical
kind add to a slim
figure and perfect
features and colpr
ing an air of re
finement and a very
distinguished car
riage. The women
of New Orleans are
full of life and gay
ety. Their city is
that way and thej
reflect the general
atmosphere of the^.

Cisco has a much more distinctive character than either., of: these places and
it« women reflect this. It can be expressed in one, sweeping word, fascinating;
but the word will bear analysis. It might seem like sophistry - 4 to, draw ; this
analogy, but the living women exist to bearr it out. • : •"' ..* \u25a0'• .\u25a0•\u25a0' ; ; . i
There is nothing mediocre In San Francisco. It is to be_ taken in the su
perlative degree only. Its life appears fast to' citizens of ; less- favored cities
because it is full. ' San Francisco is like a man of -genius. 1 Mt scintillates. Its
life' fascinates. Here human life loses the humdrum of 4 existence. ~lt never
descends to the commonplace. Sucb a city is due to its'citizensi. \u25a0 Al,A 1 , half of

QUOTING CONSTITUTION
Mexican . Punished Because
He Gave Offense to
; Embassador
EL PASO, Texas, April 7. — Because
he had been arguing that Enrique C.
Creel, Embassador of Mexico to the
United States, could not be elected
Constitutional Governor of the State
of Chihuahua, Silvestre Terrazas, edi
tor of El Correo, a daily, newspaper of
high standing in the city of Chihuahua,
is in jail. l • • : \u25a0 "
Creel's father was an American citi
zen, which' fact, according" to the con
stitution of the State of Chihuahua,
renders. Creel ineligible. to the.ofnce of
Constitutional r Governor. . His father
in-law. General Terrazas,. has been the
Constitutional Gqvemor of the State for
many years, and Creel has been "sub
stitute" or acting Governor, and is now
an avowed candidate for Constitutional
Governor. El Correro is opposing 'his
candidacy and has quoted from the con
stitution those sections which show his
ineligibility. , ' , -
The arrest has . caused a profound
sensation throughout Northern Mexico,
and is being used not without effect by
the agitators against the Diaz govern
ment, the so-called "revolutionists."
SEPARATION DOES NOT

PARIS. April ".— The Messidor, the

prints: a letter from Mgr.?Montagnihi,
ex-secretary of the Papal -Nunciature
here, to Cardinal^ Merry del Val, papal
secretary, of state. The . letter is dated
February 19, and describes Protestants
and Jews as most discontented over'the
separation of church and. state because
it deprives them of the official status
on which they have set much store. >:
Certain leading lights in Jewish
finance, it declares, hadydared to say
that after having made the ; republic
they did not enjoy those special privi
