STRUGGLE OF "BIG THREE*
Sacred Heart College continues to
lead in the score for the grand sweep
stakes prize of $1000, but Miss Bres
chlni has reduced the college's plural
ity to 70,000. Unless the friends of the
college rally to Its support in over
whelming numbers today and tomor
row, Miss Breschini will win the big
prize and also the first prize of $500
in the score for the third series. Miss
Merani may capture the latter prize,
however, as she is making a deter
mined effort to overtake Miss Breschini
in the score for this period, but the
Swiss girl is very elusive and continues
to keep at a safe distance in front of
the fair Italienne.
The fight for first honors Is dis
tinctively between the "big three"—
Miss Breschini, Miss Merani and
Brother Lewis, president of Sacred
Heart College. The betting favors
Miss Breschini as winner of first prize
in both the sweepstakes and third
series.- Yesterday a backer of Miss
Breschini waa offering to bet $100 that
the Swiss candidate would win first
money in both scores, but could find no
takers. However, It is still anybody's
victory, for no one can tell how many
votes Miss Merani and the college have
in reserve for the last day. Miss Bres
chini has been turning in liberal
amounts of votes every day for some
time past, while her rivals have been
making only occasional Jumps, which
would seem to indicate that they have
been accumulating large reserve funds.
SIRS. DOHERTY IS DANGER
Owing to various misfortunes, Mrs.
Doherty of Sacramento has not been
able to keep up the pace set by the
"Big Three" In this period of the con
test. In the second . period she was
one of the principal pace-setters. The
Sacramento River flood and sickness in
her family prevented her from making
a fight for first place in this period
of the contest. She has had to satisfy
herself with being No. 4, and there is
danger that she may not even be able
to hold that position to the end of the
contest. W. H. Worden, William B.
Mlnck and Emlle Iversen are dangerous
rivals, and there^-are several others
who have a good chance to Jump in
ahead of Mrs. Doherty unless she is
able to run up her score a great deal
higher In the next two days than It Is
now. The gap between No. 3 and No.
4 in the third series is too wide an
Interval for the safety of the , present
occupant of the No. 4 position. _
KAI.En>OSCOPIC CHAXGES
The fight for position in the "upper
ten" In the third , series is very keen
and . it is hard to predict who will be
the winners of- the flveys6o prizes.
From No. 5 to No. 15 Is «a good battle
ground and the changes taking place
between those numbers daily are al
most kaleidoscopic. Mrs. Tracy and
son have moved up from No. 13 to 10.

day in the Superior Court against the
German National Insurance Company

i^; The International Association of Ma
' chlnlsts of Greater New York and vl
; cinity,'* 15,000 strong, has voted tp de
mand an r : eight-hour day in the near
future.: This move of the mechanics of
the East has important bearing on the
local . situation. ; In answer to demands
; made by \ various .union* of the Iron
Trades Council the 3vf etal Trades Asso^
elation of this city has taken the stand
that the wages | of the : East were low
and the eight-hour day was "not In
vogue, and until such time as the man
ufacturers of the Atlantic seaboard
raised the scale no action could be tak
en here. .The demands of the New York
machinists affect bollermakers, iron
molders, coppersmiths, blacksmiths,
patternmakers and ship calkers. "<• ;

Laborers' Protective Union No. 8944
will, be' represented In the District
| Council of Cement -Workers now being
formed. At a meeting Tuesday night
the. members decided this point. The
Initiation fee- in the union has been
raised to $10. A committee, has been
drafted to change the' constitution and
[bylaws to conform with this ruling and
fto make other minor corrections. The
committee consists of L. B. Higgins. T.
Biordan and William Meekins.
The lathers of local No. 65 will ap
pear In uniform in the parade on La
bor day. At;the last meeting it was
decided to wear some distinct costume.
The lathers number 600, and will make
an Imposing array. . ,
The Iron Trades Council has decided
to allow -the question of an eight-hour
"day to rest entirely with the Individ
ual unions. v This eliminates any possi
bility of a general strike and tie-up
of the Iron trades on May 1, as was
feared when the demand w« ffrst
made, ';>' ;

The Housesmiths' and Architectural
Iron Workers' Union No. 78, at the
meeting held -Wednesday night in Sheet

tions for the annual outing. A commit
tee of five ; to : complete arrangements is
as follows: P.L F. ; Slpple, H. Benson,
H. Meyers, J. McGulre and E. A. Clancy.
Orders have been received from head
quarters of the International Brother
hood of Teamsters reinstating two lo
cals formerly affiliated with that or
ganization, but which had fallen into
disrepute by failure to pay * their per
capita tax. This has been met by Sani
tary Wagon Drivers' Union No. 444
and Express and Transfermen's Union
No. 72, and , their charters* are now
on the way from the East.
The- "new 'wage , scale of Stable Em
ployes' Union, which takes effect May
1, v haa. been- indorsed by \ the Labor
Council. It is said that many of the
members are already being .paid . the
new scale and that no trouble is antici

',' In speaking of the labor union re
cently formed in New York City by
minsters of the gospel. Rev. Dr. Wil
liam Carter of the . Madison-avenue
Reformed Church said: "If other la
borers ; have labor unions there Jis no
reason why ministers should not. It
Is needless- to say that I -believe In
\u2666rades unions and "the great industrial
movement which is now going on. The
formation of our organization into; a
labor union does j not mean - that we, as
ministers, are likely- to go on strike.
I "do -not: think that any of the inciden
tal questions relating to uplons will
affect us." - -
