Calhoun Willing to Deal With American Federation
STRIKE DISTURBANCES
ARE FEW IN NUMBER
Wagon Drivers Continue to
\ Annoy the *Nonunion
Crews
PASSENGERS WETTED
Louis Trelut, Laborer, Turns
Hose on a Passing
Abusive language and jeers from th«
sidewalk and a few Isolated Instance*
of obstruction were the only disturb
ances In the streetcar situation yester
day. Except for the union wagons,
some of which have, been fitted out to
resemble a car, there was little to in
dicate that there was a strike on and a
determined resistance to conciliation on
both sides
The United Railroads has asked the
police for protection only until 8:30 at
night and no cars were run after that
hour. President Calhoun said last night,
however: "We will continue to extend
oar ser\-Ice later In the evening as we
think we can do so safely."
A Twenty-eighth and Valencia
street car at noon yesterday was ob
structed at Market and Polk streets
by a heap of basalt block that had been
dumped on the track from a wag-on.
The driver of the wagon turned and
laughed at the motorman as he drove
away, leaving the carmen to lift the
heavy blocks off the track. Polloeznan
John J. Rooney refused to arrest the
driver. A number of Band wagons con
tinuously obstructed the traffic .at - the
lower end of Ellis street.
Albert Mac Donald blocked the
passage of a car with his wagon at
Kearny and Washington streets for a
short time yesterday afternoon, ending
ty throwing a stone at the motorman
and hitting him on the arm. There
\u25a0were a number of passengers sitting
close to the motorman. A late car with
a few passengers was also stoned near
the Chutes. I '-*•''
Sprinkling with a hose as a new
method to annoy passengers was used
yesterday by Louis Trelut, a laborer lv
the employ of BramJenstein & Co. He
turned a hose on a passing car at
Mission and Spear streets, drenching a
number of handsomely gowned women.'
Trelut was arrested and taken to tbe
harbor police station.
Several arrests were made during the
day for vile language. These offenses
were almost all committed in the Mis
sion. One arrest was made at the
ferry building, where the language
used w&s so offensive that the women
passengers* left the car.
About 35 strike breakers whose tims
had expired, left for the east yesterday
afternoon. I
MYSTERY WRAPS CASE
Accused Motorrnan May Have Been
Victim of Foul Play
The police are trying to determine
*~-*."Ueif?.eY-.Phillp Landau, a strike break
ing "motorman, has been foully dealt
with or has jumped his bonds In the
police courts.
Landau was one of the motorraen on
the cars that were operated in Turk
street on the afternoon of May 7, when
several persons were shot. He was ar
rested by Detectives Reynolds and
Riordan on a charge of assault to mur
der on the evidence of two men. He
\u25a0»v&s released on $1,000 cash bail. The
following day William Vandevort swore
to a complaint charging Landau with
assault to' murder for shooting at him
and he was booked on that charge and
an additional charge of discharging
firearms within the city limits. He was
released on 1 2,000 bonds on the new
felony charge and $100 cash on the mis
demeanor charge. The cases' had been
continued by Police Judge Weller till
June 12.
Attorney T. M. O'Connor, represent
ing: the United Railroads, appeared be
fore Judge Weller yesterday and said
that Landau had either been foully
dealt with or had absented himself
from the state. He was last seen on
Sunday nipht at the carbarns,, dressed
in his uniform. Since that time no
trace of him had been found. His asso.
ciates at the carbarns believed that he
had been the victim of foul play, as he
would not have gone away in his uni
form. Besides, he was led' to believe.
with other defendants, that the charges
against him would be dismissed, as he
. had acted in self-defense.
"I want a bench warrant issued for
his arrest." continued O'Connor, "so
that if hV- is in the state he may be
found and brought into court on June,
12. That Is why I make the applica
tion now. If he has been the . victim r «f*
foul play we will endeavor to find that
jyit meantime with the assistance of
the police."
The Judge ordered a bench warrant
issued for -Landau's arrest and detec
tives are trying: to solve the mystery. S

CALHOUX MAKES STATEMENT
Calhoun was then called upon to
state his position. He / took a paper
from his .pocket and read as follows:
As tbe concillttlon committee of Sao Fran*
ciuco preferred lta request through the coremcr
for d« to meet It at ttie ferry bu!l>ltns today
in order to confer with It Jn repard to allfpM
labor troubles txtstlnff between my company und
tbe carmen's nnlcn.* I felt . imp»H»d to attend
tbe meeting, althoufrh the members of that com
mittee were ; tlrtadr fa tntliar with the pocltlon
of the United Railroads. My company recog
nizet no carmen's union. There is a bo oall.^l
carmen's union composed of ex-employes of the
United Railroads," which Toluntarlly and delib
erately seTered' its relation ' with tbe United
iUUroads is Tiolatioa of its own genera! laws
requiring that . It should ' tender arbitration be
fore Its members strnck. • ,' •
This carmen's • union not only failed to oflVr
arbitration to the - United , Railroads, but de
clined arbitration trhen offered 10 it. Its leaden
were Informed before they struck that tbPlr
M-vcrancf . nf relations with tbe United Rail
roads would be final. Mr company - nought ro
conciliate by arbitration before the strike. It
was . refused. -The time for conciliation tbea
passed. • \u25a0 . .'
The United.* Railroads has Its ears - In opera
tion, and It proposes to operate them with such
men «a voluntarily seek sen-ice with it. It U
of the utmost importance .to tbe present and
f uttxre prosperity of . this community that the
trholf country shall be made to understand (that
men will be permitted to work in lawful occu
pations In 'this eltr free from tbe dictation or
the Interference of any organized body of men.
This right is fundamental. It 1b guaranteed
by tbe state and federal constitutions. - With
oct Its -full protection there can be no-Indi
vidual liberty either of employer or employe. .«',
Tbe United Railroads will not submit to co
ercion.- There can be no compromise with law
lessness. The good men of this community of
«11 c:«f ses most unite for the preservation of
law and order. -The sooner this issue is under
stood tbe better. It Is no longer the question
of whether or not the United Railroads will
recognize the so called carmen's union. That Is
settled. It will not. - The issnes are: Shall men
be permitted to, work in a peaceful arocatioa
without threats of coercion and without bodily
barm, and whether people will be permitted
to travel on the streetcars in safety?'- - \u25a0
I hope that the union labor of this city will
aid the. United. Railroad* In demonstrating to
the country, that life and liberty will be se
cure in San Francisco and that men will be
permitted . to work here whether they beloag
to a onion or not. • .
DO.\E WITH CORXELIUS
After he had read the statement Cal
houn took up in detail with the com
mittee the merits of the present con
troversy. In doing so he laid great
stress on the acts, of violence which
had been committed and charged that
for these leaders of the union * wera
largely responsible. Calhoun. then told
the conciliation committee that. he de
sired to have no further dealings of
any nature with Richard Cornelius,
president of the. carmen's union.
In explanation Calhoun said that
aside from the merits of the case at is
sue he considered that he had been
subjected to such' personal abuse as
would make it impossible for.; him ever
again to .treat with Cornelius.
Sj Members ', of the committee expressed
the belief "that the- Injection, of
EOnalities on both sides had done much
to injure- the cause -of peace.-- No defi
nite date was' fixed for ;a second* con
ference with Calhoun, but If ; President
Tracy believes \u25a0 that conditions warrant
he 'will call' another- meeting on either
Saturday or Monday. The harbor com
mission . has placed its rooms at the
disposal of the conciliation . committee
and all future conferences will be held
there. . • - • -
STRIKE BREAKERS QUIT
Calhoun's Explanation Is That Their
Contracts Had Expired
A small army of strike breakers left
the employ of the United Railroads
Tuesday night and yesterday. Pickets
for the striking carmen stationed at
the Turk and Flllmore barns say that
125 no'unlon rootormen and- conductors
departed. President Calhoun says that
the men left because their contract*
for, SO days' ' employment had expired.
It was also announced that 300 men
were' on their way v from: the " east; to
fill the places and take m charge of ad
ditional cars. . --* -.
-"We are in no danger of lacking an
adequate* working force," said Calhoun.
"All that the public demands will be
supplied easily.' There' are : plenty of
competent and ' experienced men who
are only too willing to- work for the
United Railroads." v * \u25a0" "-
: Secretary J. H, Bowling of the car
men's' union took ah altogether,differ
"ent vlewof the matter and declared that
the desertions * of . the strike " breakers
marked the of the end of
Calhoun's _ struggle against organized
labor. ;v; v „ ;..*; " >*\u25a0
" '."BesiaVs •*• getting . shy of cars," he
said, "the United \u25a0 Railroads is losing

passengers were so few that. there-was

WASHINGTON, June s.— The navy
