PAmTDQI GBmnno Must 6ear^ - J^KlUtd Fa>Simiiß Sigrialuw^ ISwia IREFUSE-SUBSTITUTEB.; NEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD EDITED BY O. M. BOYLE The strike of ' the union laundry workers will probably be settled in the near future, as seven large laundries have made concessions to their em ployes and they will return to work on Monday. A mass meeting of the work ers on strike was held yesterday in La bor Temple Hall and Walter Macarthur, editor of the Coast Seamen's Journal, delivered an address. He told the em ployes to stand firm and have confi dence in their ability to win the strike. He informed the workers that they were In accord with the Labor Council, and that they would have the support of that organization in their crusade for higher wages and shorter hours. His remarks were received with enthusi asm. He was followed by President C. F. Thurber of Steam Laundry Workers' Union No. 26, who outlined what had been accomplished within the past sev eral days. He entered a vigorous de nial that the union had made conces sions to the employers and cited the case of the Independent Laundry, which has taken back its employes at the new wage scale as evidence that the union demands were not exorbi tant. The meeting approved the fol lowing statement to be Issued to the public: The cnios laundry workers deny that conces sions of any kind hare been granted to any laundries. The statement of the Independent Laundry demonstrates very conclusively that the stand of the Owners' .Association Is arbi trary and unjustified. Tje position that the Independent Laundry has taken in resisting the coercion of the association toy signing the agree ment of the Laundry Workers should act as a just and well merited rebuke to the methods and policy of the Owners' Association. Althoupo they bare repeatedly asserted that they could not operate at • a profit nnder the schedule submitted, seven lanndrles have come to the conclusion that they can, and If these seren laundries can operate we most respect fully submit to a reasoning public that there is no logical excuse why the others cannot do like wise. This Is especially true when we consider that the proprietors of a laundry across the bay can pay even higher wages than those In the schedule we ask for. These proprietors have signed the scale and they claim that they can still operate profitably. Let the consequences of this controversy fall where It belongs — upon the heads of the Owners' Association and not npoo the laundry . workers. In answer to the demand made by the Iron Trades Council for an eight-hour day the Metal Trades Association of San Francisco has issued the following statement: The eight-bonr day contemplates a day of eight hours with the same wage as paid here tofore for nine hours' work, or an increase of over 12 per cent. The shorter workday would, of course, cause a corresponding decrease In the : yearly output, and as all fixed and operating charges -practically remain anchangedv it will be seen that the eight-hour day would \sake pro hibitive competition with manufacturers outside of this city, especially those of the East. In all the larger shops in the city fully 80 \ per cent of the contracts now on hand were taken subject to Eastern competition. The shipyards of the East are* barely able to exist when a ten-hour day and a good rate of wages prevail. Tbe public can then understand the difficulties facing this branch of the trade on the Pacific Coast, where wages are very much higher. . : \u25a0 It Is not the purpose. of tbe metal trades to oppose the eight-hour day, nor to treat our em-, ployes In a spirit of aggression. When tbe eight-hour day begins to prevail in the East we will be the first to grant it here, and we ap peal to tbe people of San Francisco for their support and sympathy in the present crisis, and \u25a0 ask them to remember that If this last demand of the unions to the iron trades should prevail San Francisco's hope to be a, manufacturing me tropolis would be blighted and an Industry which now furnishes employment to more than 10,000 men would be practically destroyed. , , Members and invited guests of the International Brotherhood of Book binders' Local No. 31 will enjoy a dance next Saturday evening in P.uckett's Cotillon Hall in Church street, near Market. This will be tbe seventh an nual ball of the union and is expected to be a great success. Frank J. Dever will be floor manager and Edward Bany will assist. The executive * council of the bookbinders decided recently to call for an enforcement of the eight hour day throughout the State. On October 1 a referendum vote will, be taken on the question. •\u25a0• • * Voting on amendments to the con stitution of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific was held at the last meeting. It was reported that shipping in this port was fair. Tbe Tacoma agent re ported that shipping and prospects were excellent, with a large demand for men. At Seattle, Port Townsend and Aberdeen the conditions were fair. At Portland and Eureka shipping was dull. San Pedro wai reported as fair and the Honolulu agent wrote that prospects were fair and conditions medium. At the last gathering of the Marine Cooks' and Stewards' Association of the Pacific conditions along the coast were reported as favorable. On the Great Lakes conditions were reported dull, while along the Atlantic Seaboard busi ness was brisk.' Sixteen new members were ushered into the fold of Local No. 19 of the In ternational Brotherhood of Painters at their last gathering. Four were initi ated and; twelve admitted on cards. Routine business was transacted, with President A. Smith in the chair. J. J. Dennis was elected to the executive committee to fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Thomas__ Lin ton. • The Master Builders' Association of Seattle has notified the executive com mit tee~of the Building Trades Council that a settlement of labor troubles In the northern port must be accomplished at once or nonunion crews will be Im ported to take the places of the union men. The refusal of contractors In Chi cago to allow plledrlver* employes an eight-hour day has caused a strike. which seriously Impedes . proposed im provements In the harbor of the' "windy city." At .^Gary, Ind., over J1.000,000 worth of work is at a stand still owing to the strike. President P/H." McCarthy of the State Building Trades Council , was emphatic In his denial: yesterday of the 'state ment made in. the letter of the electri cians of Local No. 6 to Mayor Schmltz.' In discussing the \u25a0 statement declaring that he obtained the police aid toMn-. terfere with the gathering of electri cians, McCarthy said: . \ ' The communication to the Mayor Is • abso lutely untrue. , Tbe \u25a0 manager \u25a0at .the \u25a0 headquar ters felt \u25a0- that a number of men * were present to disturb tbe : peace of ; the council and ! notified the • Police .

Local \u25a0 Union No., 6 of the "American Association of Carpenters and Joiners met Tuesday. evening Jn sUnion5 Union Hall, at Fourteenth and Church streets, and In itiated twenty-seven new members. A slight falling off in the number of new members added is noticeable /in this line of the building, trades and Is due to the return of pleasant weather. In winter months the roll Is augmented by mechanics from the Eastern States. The women of Eureka, who formed a Woman's Union Lable League recently, are taking active part in the affairs of organized labor In the northern port At a recent gathering officers were elected and plans' made for the benefit of the. members of the union. Owing to a rumor circulated in Sao ramento to the effect that large dry goods houses and other merchandise houses of the capital city contemplated reopening their establishments . in th« evening, a mass meeting of the retail clerks was called- and a new union formed. The majority of those present were women. N. T. Frey of this city, district organizer of the Federated Trades, was present and aided in per fecting the organizing of the new union. Three hundred and eighty sig natures were placed on the member ship roll. ' The labor movement .Inaugurated ; in Monterey County recently is gathering strength. At Pacific Grove the cement workers have formed a union and will affiliate with the international organ ization. TTstenty-two members . sighed the charter/ roll. The t installation of the union was under the direction of J. H. Watson of San Jose.! The voice of organized labor in Sac ramento has been raised in the dispute over the proposal to remove the State capital. Several unions there have characterized the proposition as/ a po litical move and they \u25a0" have declared that they would demand a referendum vote throughout the State to settle the question. Prosperity was the burden of the re ports made at the last gathering of the members of Local . Union No. 44 pf the International Association of Marble Workers. Within the last two weeks over twenty new members have been added to this union and at present all are employed. President A. McGlade appointed D. S. Looney, former record ing secretary, as business agent. The social entertainment of the union will be held In the near future.
