Gillett Is to Ask Calhoun to Meet the Peace Body
Conciliation Committee Will Strive to
Settle the Carmen's Strike
Conference Will Also Be/Sought' With
President of Telephone Company
Governor Gillett held conferences
yesterday with representatives of two
civic organizations, which- have for
ttieir object the improvement of in
dustrial and governmental affairs m
the city of San Francisco. Quietly, but
not the less positively, Oovernor/OUle^
has displaced Mayor Schmitz in all mat
ters that pertain to the city's welfare,
excepting those only which by law are
•rpressly included among the functions.
of the mayor.
The -complexities of the local situa
tion prompted Gillett to take the, ua
usual step. Naturally, the governor s
action has aroused the mayor's resent
ment, but Schmits is not in a position
to object, much less resist. In assum
ing control here. Gillett has sought
to, cause as little friction as possible,
with those at the head of the citygov- ,
eminent. He is taking great care not |
to assume any powers which by law.
bflong to the mayor. : .
The committees which called upon
the governor yesterday were bodies
which under normal conditions would
consult with the city executive. For.
two hours the governor was closeted
with a delegation of 13 citizens from;
the conciliation committee and later mi
the day conferred with Frank v . T .r
Sj-mmep. who ropr^sented the commit
tee of 30 recently formed l>y the com-/
mercial associations.
The most important of the immediate
results of the conTerenccs was the of
fer of the governor to address letters
to President Patrick . Calhoun of tlye;
United Railroads and President Henry
T. Scott of the Pacific telephone com
pany, asking them to meet the concilia-,
tion* committee Wednesday at 2 o'clock
in the Ferry building. The purpose
of the meeting is to enable the con
ciliation committee to renew its efforts
to settle the streetcar and telephone
strikes.
nKUin-Ku ny comp^.mks
The conciliation committee asked the
assistance of the governor in this mat
ter because its. representatives had
»>een rebuffed by both CalUoun and
Scott. The subcommittee* which .had
undertaken to bring together, the war
ring factions in the car and telephone
strikes is composed of Bishop Xichols,"
Rev. WiHiam Racier. Norton .C. Wells,
Robert A- Roos and A-. W. Scott Jr. 1
After the fourth or fifth call upon Gal-)
houn and Scott, this committee was in
formed by the two "corporation mag
nates that its intervention was not wel
conted. Both Calhoun and JScott told the
committee that they believed that the
matter was purely one between the
companies and. their employes.
Since this rebuff the committee has
been in conference with representatives
of the labor unions involved in the
strikes and has made such headway
that it believes a conference with Cal
lioun and Scott at this time will aid the 1
situation materially if it does not pave
the way for a speedy settlement.
While Governor Gillett promised. to
aid the conciliation committee - to the
extent-, of arranging .the, - conference
with Calhoun and Scott, he _ made, it
plain that he could in no way allow
himself to be drawn directly into the
controversy. PSS
, Calhoun refused, to. say last night
whether he would ' accept the gover
nor's invitation, but added. that he be-
Moved that any. attempt '; to -bring .the
imion and the company together: would
be futile. V
With Symmer the governor can
vassed the local situation; and ex
pressed the opinion that the committee
.of ._ businessmen formed the foundation
of ' what could be_built into a;power
ful body of citizens. The committee
which Symmes represents ' has .-en
larged its plans and hopes to concern
itself not only with law and order, but
with the industrial situation, and
also with matters pertaining to the
municipal government. Such a course
would naturally cause it to overlap in
some features of its work the scope of
the civic league, but both, bodies as
sert that there is scant danger of -a
conflict of Interests.
CO.\FER WITH: GOVERNOR
. The delegation from the conciliation
committee called at the offices of the
governor in the ferry building at 2
•o'clock. In the delegation: were Xor
tom C. Wells, George J. Wellington,
\u25a0 Isidor Jacobs., Archbishop Riordan,*
Rabbi Kaplan, George A. Tracy. Wal
ter Macarthur, J. K. Jones, A. J. Gai
lagher, A. C. Holmes, B. L. Oadwala
der, A. W. Scott Jr. and Father Crow-,
ley. Harbpr Commissioner Stafford
took part in the conference. The dele
gation at the outset explained to the
.governor the methods successfully used
to settle the iron workers' strike, and
then; stated that some headway had
been made In the streetcar and^tele
, phone strikes. The governor was asked
to use his good offices to place the com £_
. raittee in touch with Calhoun and ScotC
and promised to address letters. to' thenj
at once, asking them to meet the com
mittee on Wednesday afternoon in the
. ferry building.
The committee then discussed with
the governor its plans for further use
fulness In civic affairs, explaining. that'
the civic league, which was/repre
sented in its membership,' intendeds to
transform itself into a branch » of.' the
national civic federation. The ' civic
league has already taken steps to ln
. terest Itself in the affairs of the city
government. To this end it will v in
vestigate the records of all aspirants
for office and will" take steps to dis
courage the candidacy of any whom It
deems manifestly unfit. >r
Through regularly organized commit
tees the league' will exercise a sort of
supervision over all branches of/ th*
city government. For this purpose the
following committee/ chairmen; have
been appointed:, Henry X Beatty,
i election laws, elections, publicity" of
.records of candidates for. public office,

formally discussed the situation. The,

S VMMES CAMiS «V GILI,ETT
\u0084 After /Ahe departure/of the concilia- I
tion committee Frank J. Symmes visited
the governor and outlined the, plans; of
tho^ committee of 10 to enlarge, ; *its
mombership and broaden its scope.
ThA governq,r promised to co-operate in ;
every way with i-ie, commercial ."organ- ;
izations. j
. 'ln- discussing the-question of an in-,
dustrial court. Governor Gillett said:
"If things do not improve something
will have to ,be done. I have not
reached definite conclusions on the sub
t ject, but have given some thought, to 'a
state court of arbitration/ which .would
have power to intervene in industrial
controversies. Such a court' could; be
composed, • for instance, of one justice
from each of the three appellate courts.^
In rases of arbitration, as matters how"
stand, all depends on one man. ; Each
side usually selects a : representative
favorable. to its own. cause and' it falls
to the third member of the: board -to
settle the dispute. Such a permanent
court as I have suggested, would be
without bias and would 1 be in a position
to intervene In any industrial contro
versy that might arise. '
; "How -.the '\u25a0decisions', of; such a court
would be enforced I am; not prepared tou
say, as I have ' not given \u25a0 the subject
sufficient thought. The matter might
be reduced to a basis similar: to that
which obtains in other courts. /Com
plaints could be filed, testimony pre
sented, arguments made and decisions
I rendered."
