Oyster, chairman of the arbitration committee that was called upon In Washington. D. C, re cently to consider differences between employers and employes, states in his . report: There are Mien in erery community — men who br tbe mere chance of taberlted wealth or fay f«rtnsate speculation are reliered from the need of daily toll- Tber* are others wbo from sheer lazl&eas refuse to work and become, la tbe mala, tfea traaps and bobot of society. Bat these two clauses together Mtmerically represent such an infinitesimal fwtnl>er compared with tbe creat clasc of wcrkinr men and women that It would be practically impossible to state Jn figures the minnte percentage they bear to the number of •odety at Urpe. Aod while I tare not by any means sought to tnaoter the labor problem, ac it Is called, or to deteraiae tbe Jost relations which should exist between capital and labor. I am convinced that tbe true solution of all tbetse difficulties will be far more speedily reached when men eTerywher<! recognize that continniag la dally pursuits and tie rleid of an taonert day's, labor is the essen tial foundation for both Individual and united unco***; The labor of . every man. artisan or «o>en«. In whatever line «r occupation they may be trained or follow, earns for every individual the respect of tbe entire community. We are a nation of laborers, and daily toil everywhere Is honored and respected- When, then, differences arise between employer and employe, and whether affecting numbers large or Mnsil. the continuance of every Individual at the post of duty, with a fair eUtement of grievances Ktsted in temperate language to the public, 7 there will be found a Btronx community influence, far more quickly developed to command the lighten ing of the burden and the correction of \u25a0 the wroegs than by any other course of conduct. Tbe inconvenience and loss which the commu nity euffer* by any strike, large or small, , bas Its natural result* in largely withdrawing tbe favor* able - eendmeat of eucn a community from tbe cause of tbe striking workmen, even though it be bottomed upon the strongest grounds of Jus tice. -'• f*in<in l jßjiTrT T tTi^fflijy' il p> i^»y'P i ' | 'ti> f Tn I finaly believe that when all of us, laboring In whatsoever field, coxae to tbe common recogni tion of the duty of every man to render for the support of blnwelf and family and the good of society at larre an honest day'e - labor within reasonable boon we 6hal! bare reached tbe prime notation of all labor troubles.

Musicians A brass band .concert will .make Mis sion and Sixteenth streets one of the most attractive spots In the \u25a0 city, for Saturday night shopping. Beginning tonight, ! the .. merchants in that neigh borhood have arranged for the musical attraction, which will be repeated each Saturday night during the summer. A bandstand has been erected on the cor ner and 20 musicians will ' discourse classic and popular numbers tonight. Since the car strike was declared the merchants of the Mission have enjoyed much of the patronage that formerly went elsewhere. The, Mission has-be come like a city by itself, they claim. It was decided to encourage that state of affairs and the businessmen con cluded that band concerts would be the most popular form of public entertain ment. The funds to pay expenses wero easily secured.. The bandstand was built, and tonight will be the occasion of the first concert. "Whether you ride in a bus, or take a car, or walk," say the merchants, "it will be worth your while to gather with the throng at Sixteenth and Mission streets tonight and listen to the band.

Special attention will be paid to In dividual request programs. It is pro posed to make the concerts as informal as pleasant, and the public Is Invited to attend the opening event tonight when the band plays its first program. ST.

'\u25a0 'V,*'.' : : ; ' '.--•'. \u25a0 -'-. The complaint recites that "the super visors threaten jto levy a . tax to raise $8,836,700, the amount of the budget for .the fiscal year which begins July 1, and objection is' made on J the* ground that the proposed levy, exclusive of the state tax and the tax to pay 'interest and maintain sinking funds; -for :•:. the bonded indebtedness of the . city . and county and exclusive ot the tax for the maintenance and improvement of parks, squares and public parks, will exceed the rate of Jl'on each $100 valuation of property assessed and will be in vio lation of section 11, chapter 1, article 3, of the charter of : the city. It will be v impossible, allege .the plaintiffs, to segregate the items of: the proposed levy in a way to protect tax payerß ; , therefore, the , tax will - be / a \u25a0lien on property arid a cloud upon~real estate titles. The cost of the proposed public utility, it Is declared," cannot be paid out of the. annual revenues of the city and county, and stress .is laid upon the contention that the .voters have never authorised the incurlng of a bonded indebtedness for the purpose of making the Geary street road a mu nicipal property, but have twice refused to authorize such indebtedness. The' additional tax of 20 cents on the $100 of valuation assessed, making a total of $1.20, is directly attacked ori the ground that as two members of the board of supervisors were absent wheD it was approved It did not receive the unanimous vote required by section 13, chapter 1, article 3, of the charter , relat ing to provisions for emergency -or great necessity. While James L. Gal lagher is^ acting mayor, it: is alleged, there can be no unanimous vote, and therefore, the levy cannot be made legal. , / All the history of the various appro priations for thb Geary street munici pal road Is reviewed. In regard to the estimate of cost of construction made in May, 1905, when the board of works presented figures totaling $667,595, it is alleged that this estimate was based on the erroneous assumption that the city owned the tracks, rails and cable slots. These things, contend the plaintiffs, be long to the Geary Street, Park and Ocean. railroad company, and are, worth upward of $20,000. (i Incidentally, it; is alleged that' changed f conditions: make $1,200,000 a fair estimate of the cost of constructing and completing the Geary street road in accordance with the city's plans. The prayer of the complaint calls for, not only a permanent injunction against the defendants, but a decree, declaring '• both the additional tax of 20 cents and the budget appropriation of $720,000 for the Geary street, road null . and. void.
