A matter of Importance to every
labor union In the country will come
up before the United States supreme
court at the October session. It Is
one that Involves the liability of a la
bor union under the antitrust law.
The case In which the points involved
will be argued was brought by D. E.
Lowe, a hat manufacturer of Danbury.
Conn., against Martin Lawler and 200
other "members of the American fed
eration of labor. Lowe charged that
In sending out circulars to his patrons
with the alleged threat that if they
did not cease' buying his hats for their
trade they would be put upon the "un
fair list," the federation laid Itself
liable to prosecution under the anti
trust law. He therefore brought suit
in Connecticut under that law for
$240,000 damages. The case has been
certified to the supreme court on the
one question — whether the plaintiff can
maintain an action under the anti
trust law.
The following advice to the employ
ers' association Is from a recent issue
of the Natlonal^ilthographer:
Don't try to prevent the working lithograph

ROOS BROTHERS LEASE
MARKET STREET SITE
Great Store to Be Estab
lished at the Corner of
Stockton
TO OPEN NEXT JULY
Mrs. F. J. Sullivan and Miss
Phelan Plan Further tfs
Improvements
The procession of retail merchant*
back to the old shopping section In
and near Market street was joined yes
terday by Hoos Brothers, who, closed a
15 year lease on the property at
Market and Stockton streets. Plans
will be drawn at once for a building
and construction will proceed as
rapidly as good workmanship will per
mit. The proprietors of the big store
hope to be able to open the new store
by next July.
The site fronts 162 M feet In Stock
ton street, 18 feet In Ellis and 70 feet
in Market and is owned by Mrs. Frank
J. Sullivan and Miss Mary Phelan. The
deal, which was. conducted by Baldwin
& Ho^ell for Roos Brothers, is one of
the largest consummated since the fire.
Architect Albert Plssis has. been en
gaged to make the plans. The build
ing will be three stories and basement.
The floor area that will be devoted to
the clothing business of Roos Brothers
will be 45,000 square feet.
"This will give us a- much larger
store than we had at our old site be
fore the fire, which T*as becoming in
adequate for our growing business,"
said Leon Roos yesterday. "We be
lieve that the new store will be none
too large for our needs. We have such
faith In the' future prosperity "of the
city that we are not hesitating to In
vest our money freely.
"There was another location besides
the one we selected that appealed to
us. We were for awhile inclined to
take it. It is the lot belonging to the
Tevls estate at the northwesterly cor
ner of Post and Kearny streets. This
would have suited our purpose nicely,
but the owners were not disposed to
build at present.
"It was always our purpose to mak«
our store the most attractive In Cali
fornia, but our ambition has grown.
We believe that Greater San Fran
cisco will support an establishment
much larger in size and more elegant
than even out former store was, so
we propose to own an establishment
that will not have a superior anywhere
in the United States.
"I do not care to state what the
terms of the lease were, but I can say
that we had to pay a top notch price
for It. We have no fears for the out
come, however, as our faith Is firm in
the future of this city."
The Roos building will not cover/ the
entire lot owned by Mrs. Sullivan and
Miss Phelan. They own 50 feet
more adjoining on the east, which Is
immediately next to the Phelan build-
Ing. This 50 feet will be Improved
at the same time the Roos building is
being constructed. It is probable that
the entire lot owned by Mrs. Sullivan
and Miss Phelan will be covered with
a single structure, the easterly 50
feet being separated from the Roos
building by a permanent wall. This
part of the building will be leased
either as a whole or separately. The
desire of the owners is to lease It as
an entirety If possible. . . -
be held in Syracuse, commencing Sep
tember 17.
According to the latest quarterly
bulletin issued by the state depart
ment of labor of New York it appears
that the aggregate union membership
up to the last quarter was 414,718, and
of these 12,515 were women. The
gain for the first half of the year was
3.6 per cent., the carpenters leading
all others with a total of 31,157 en
rolled in 187 locals. The bulletin an
nounces "that the "workingmen's or
ganizations In this state have attained
a strength never before realized." It
speaks of the recent changes In the
laws for the betterment of the work
ing classes. One Is that regulating
the hours of labor for women and
children. Briefly It is this: Women
of 21 years and over, those of 16 to 21
years, young men from 16 to 18 years,
and boys and girls from 14 to 16 years
may work, in the first instance, with
out restriction so long as the hours do
not exceed ten in any one calendar
day; those of the second instance may
not work after 9 p. m.; young men may
not work between midnight and 4 a.
m., and the 14-16 year class may work
for eight .hours only, between the
hours of 8 a. m. and 5 p. m. In the
three first Instances the week's work
must be confined to €0 hours.
Street concrete workers' local No. 85,
at Its meeting in Sheet Metal Workers'
hall last night, elected L. B. Higgins
and William Meakin as delegates to
represent the union at the international
convention of cement workers In Mem
phis next month. The business agent
reported that conditions in the craft
were satisfactory. Tha financial report
for July "showed that the union had a
surplus of $800. Twenty-five new mem
bers were Initiated.
Waitresses' union No. 48, at Its last
meeting, received several applications
for membership. The union decided to
discontinue paying assessments to the
strike fund.
Lumber handlers of Brooklyn, N. V.,
are now an organized body. Their ap
plication for a charter is pending and
as they may be reckoned as a branch of
the international longshoremen's union
the charter will have to come from that
source.
The International union of photo-en
gravers is taking steps to establish a
fund for i consumptive members of the
order.
John Thompson, the statistician for
the central labor bureau of Indianapo
lis, Ind., has issued a report of the
labor unions of that city. This, shows
that there are ninety-six local unions,
eight women's auxiliaries, four district
councils, one woman's union label
league and one central body. The re
port deals only with the woman's label
league, three auxiliaries and sixty of
the local union, which have a member
ship of 6.572, a net increase of 700
since June 1, 190«. It also, shows that
28 of the 60 local unions have trade
agreements with employers. Twenty
five of them 'have the eight hour day,
an* seven have the piecework system.
In regard to benefits, 25 of the locals
pay' sick benefits and the total amount
so paid since June 1, 1906, was $5,123.87.
The 46 locals that pay death benefits
have paid since \u25a0 June .1, 1906. $22,589.
Out of work or strike benefits were
paid out during the . same length of
time to the amount of $31,624. Of the
locals covered by the. report, 11 are not
affiliated with the central labor union
and 27. are not affiliated with the In
diana state federation of labor.

ONE OP THE THOMAS CARS AT THE BEACH, CARRYING SOMK OF THE OLD PEOPLE, WHO YESTERDAY ENJOYED AN OUTING IN
THE PRESIDIO AND THE PARK AS THE GDESTS OF THE CALIFORNIA WOMAN'S AUTOMOBILE CLUB.. PHOTO BY MAIN &
McGEE.
The suggestion for an old people's
automobile outing, first made by The
Call and adopted by the ladles of the
woman's- auxiliary club, was carried
out yesterday morning with as much
success as that which attended the or
phans' outing a few weeks ago. It was
not such a hilarious procession as that
In which 600 children were bowled to
the Chutes recently, but for quiet, in
tense enjoyment not even the merry
youngsters could exceed the aged /ex
cursionists. For -years many of -them
had not been outside of the grounds of
the Institutions where they live and
few had ever been In an automobile.
Early shoppers In Van Ness avenue
turned to look at the 40 shining cars,
each filled with gray haired men and
women, all waiting for the signal to
start with the impatience of those who
feel that every minute is precious. At
11:30 o'clock Dr. A. J. Minaker, who
had been officially deputed to lead with
his white runabout, moved away and
was followed by a string of machines
reaching more than several blocks. The
route was out Van Ness avenue to the
Presidio, through the military park to
the beach, where a halt was made near
the Cliff Houser High speeding and
racing were strictly forbidden, but the
temptation became too strong on the
broad, smooth boulevard. The old peo

TROLLEY LIRE WILL BE
IN LODI BY END OF MONTH
Supposed Huntington Road
Will Compete for Trade
of Stockton
The California traction company,
which many believe to be owned by
H. E. Huntington, will be in Lodl by
the end of the month and -will be a
competitor for the handling of fruitfto
Stockton. The new line runs from
Stockton to Lodl and will be extended
to Sacramento. Its manager is Sam
uel B. McLenagan, who is an old em
ploye of H. E. Huntington and has
represented him in Los Angeles.
The Santa Fe people look with kind
ly eyes upon the new line, as it enters
a rich fruit country where they have
no entrance and will act as a feeder
to them. If the California traction
company Is a Huntington property it
means that It is probably more than
half owned by Harrlman and is part
of the electric system which Harriman
is said to be planning to cover the
state. " i
The new road passes through a rich
horticultural district and it Is estimated
that the output of fruit from the ter
ritory around Lodi will amount to 35
or 40 cars a day. There has been
good work done in the way of coloniz
ing In this part of the state for the
last few years and several hundred
acres will be bearing fruit next year,
which means so much more transcon
tinental business.
TEACHERS* FEDERATION
SENDS LETTER TO MAYOR
Explains Its Stand in Regard to Con-
troversy Over Back Salaries
to New Eexcutive
In order that Mayor Taylor tnay be
come familiar with the position main
tained by the San Francisco school
teachers' , federation In its effort to
force the payment of back salaries
withheld by the board of education, at a
meeting Wednesday the executive com
mittee of that body drewup a synopsis
of its case and mailed it to the mayor.
A Copy of the synopsis was also mailed
to each of the new members of the
board of supervisors.. \u0084
The missive Bent to Mayor Taylor
dwelt particularly, on 'the action of
Treasurer Bantel in withholding the
money for the salary warrants of the
teachers because certain merchandise
firms held .unpaid bills against the
city's school department and on the
fact that the "school board had practi
cally admitted that, the use of the fund
set apart for; teachers' salaries for any
purpose other than the payment'of'sal
aries was illegal. ] Mayor Taylor was.
invited to Investigate the Allegations
made by the teachers and /was urged
to such immediate action as would en
able them to secure; that part of their
pay which, had been withheld.! ? i
. At "Its meeting the executive boara
of the federation appointed ; a .rcommit
tee'to make j arrangements for securing
a hall in which \ to hold /the semiannual
election of <r officers;;On , August 31. A
resolution from Professor- Murphy of
Chicago was read, asking, that some
officer of the body be. ; appointed >to
draw up : an official history, of, the or
ganization to be printed In ' the news
papers.-of Chicago. . .The . request,':'ac
cording;' to 'President 'Dr. Margaret Ma-,

next meeting. / ,
speeding had been promulgated, were
as eager as any one and called out to
the chauffeurs to "let her go" and
"catch them." None would admit that
the speed took his or her breath away,
although, the wind played havoc with
bonnets that never had been intended
for anything less sober than a walk In
the garden or at most' a trip to church.
The distinctly youthful and Jaunty
air of the*«uting was emphasized by
the 'juvenile refreshments of candy and
peanuts, which were passed with
sandwiches to the excursionists, while
waiting at the beach and were enjoyed
greatly by the aged people. Photo
graphs of the automobiles and the
passengers were taken by R. B. Main,
who. promised to present one to every
person In the party. \ .
A large number of the old people,
had not seen the sea for years and
the sight of the white • breakers, the
tang of the salty air and the diversion
of the boats going In and out of the
Golden gate were enjoyed keenly. One
lady, aged 84, declamcr that she would
like nothing in the world so much as
to .wade in the surf and that If she
were not forced, to walk with a cane
nothing would have prevented her from
taking the dip. • \i ,
One woman of 82 years had with dif
ficulty been persuaded to t come. She

HEALTH OFFICERS CONFER
ABOUT SUSPECTED MALADY
Vigorous Measures Taken to Protect

- Bubonic Plague"
City, state and federal health . offi
cials are co-operating in vigorous
measures to stamp out an imperfectly
Identified malady In the district east
of Stockton street and north. of Pacific.
Bacteriologlcally, as far as the micro
scopic tests have gone, it nearly re

agreed that there 'was not the slightest
occasion \u25a0 for public alarm,- and full ap
proval was given of the steps already
taken by Health Offlcer Watklns to pu^
the affected district \u25a0 in good sanitary
condition and otherwise to protect the
health of the community.
Dr. Watkins' submitted a complete
report of the five cases under susipcion.

said. She finally was persuaded by her
younger companions that the cars were
perfectly decorous vehicles furnished
with comfortable cushions. Others who
had more recent acquaintance with the

learnedly of puncturing tires and open

All the arrangements for the outing
were under the personal direction of

Testimony and Reserve
Decision
DINAN AIDS DEFENSE
Carmen's Chief Criticised
for Withholding Dyna
mite Evidence
The trial of Captain of Detectives
Henry H. Colby, on the charge of con
duct unbecoming an offlcer, preferred
by Richard Cornelius/president of th«
carmen's union, occupied the greater
part of the meeting of the police com
missioners yesterday afternoon and de
cision was reserved until Tuesday. At
torney Moran, who represented Cor
nelius, said, In outlining hia case, that
Colby had been guilty of violating rule
3 of the regulations of the department
in that he had on June 7, without war
r??r??VOr - authorl ty. Put. the carmen's
chief under restraint for several hours
and had subjected him tot harsh and
brutal treatment by refusing to permit
him to communicate with his attorney
or friends or take him before a com
mitting magistrate. In doing so Colby
had not only violated the rules of the
department but had violated the law,
contended the attorney.
Cornelius was called to the stand
and told how Colby and Detective
Ryan had appeared suddenly at Chauf
feur Handy*s house at Lombard and
Pierce streets and taken him into cus
tody, together with Charles Cordes and
McDonald. Colby had asked the wit
ness for the name of a man who could
give Information as to who had shinned
dynamite to 1036 Tennessee street.
Cornelius had refused, his explanation
being that by telling the detective he
would "simply be telling the United
Railroads."
. Finally, the witness continued, he
had been permitted to go to tha dis
trict attorney, accompanied by Detec
tive O'Dea. whose instructions were to
release him If he gave the desired in
formation to Langdon. He told the
name to Langdon and was released.
"Colby did not treat me in a gentle
manly manner but tried to bulldoze
me," Cornelius concluded.
DINAX SUPPORTS COLBY
Colby appealed to Chief Dinan to
support him in the statement that he
had only followed the usual course of
the department In Cornelius* case and
the chief agreed with him. The cap
tain denied that he had treated, the
carmen's president in an ungentlemanly
manner and asserted that he had only
attempted to gain Information in the
line of his duty. He declared that Cor
nelius was never under arrest, but ad
mitted that he was In custody. Cor
nelius had admitted that a man gave
him Information that the dynamite was
to be sent 10 days before it was sent.
The captain thought that Cornelius
should have informed the department
at that time. "If Cornelius had not
been a reputable citizen he would have
been locked up in the tanks," ' said
Colby.
Moran .In his. argument denounced
tbe "tanks" system and that he knew
of hia own 'personal knowledge that
chiefs of detectives, and even detec
tives, used their positions for private
purposes inimical to the interests of the
community. A man arrested under such
circumstances would be Justified in
taking the law Into his own hands and
killing the arresting detective or po
liceman, declared the attorney. . He
charged Colby with acting for the
United Railroads during the whole
course of the strike.
Colby, in his "rfeply, denied that he
was in the pay of the United Railroads,
nor was he working for that corpor
ation. He had simply done his duty as
a policeman, he asserted. He admitted
that the United Railroads gave him
information, but he received no assist
ance from Cornelius or other officers of
the carmen's union. He had been of
fered money and help from prominent
citizens to stamp out dynamite out
rages, but although Cornelius was an
official of the city corporation no offer
of help had come from him.
DECISION IS POSTPOXKD
President Hagerty questioned Cor
nelius as to why he had not given the
information desired by Colby to Chief
Dinan. or even to the police board, but
the carman could not satisfactorily ex
plain a reason.
Attorney Porter Ashe wanted to ad
dress the 1 board as to Colby s action,
but Hagerty said that It was not neces
sary and announced that the decision
in the case would 5 be given on Tuesday.
. Policeman John C. Laws was dis
missed from the department for taking
$120 from Don Ritchie, alias John
Lovejoy, while conveying him to the
hospital on October 12 last.
The charge against Policeman John
J. Walshe of assaulting Dominick
O'Kane at Turk and Flllmore streets
on the morning of July 1. and that
against Edward •J. Lawlor, patrol
wagon driver, of using vulgar language
to Manuel J. Rose, another patrol
wagon driver,, on July 6, were .dis
missed.

•qultte'd of a charge of brutal treatment
