EXPERT PROBES FUNDS
OF STRIKE COMMITTEE
Labor Council Discusses the
Charge That Cash Was
Used in Campaign
$400,000 DISBURSEMENT
i . . . i g
Members Feel That Inquiry
Concerning the Accounts
Should Be Rigid
At the meeting of '•
<_rCct.stp^oN^q^i^ the San Francisco
>v^j?ggaS^'^ labor council last
night a delegate
asked as to the report of receipts and
disbursements by the general strike
committee. This led to a protracted
discussion. Secretary Gallagher stated
; that charges had been made that the
money contributed to the strike fund
had been used to pay campaign and
parade expenses, for building flats and
so forth, and that an expert had been
engaged at an expense of $20 to exam
ine the books and accounts.
On motion of Delegate Walsh the
council agreed to pay half of the ex
pense of tho experting.
Durir^ the discussion it was stated
that it Is due to the members of the
strike committee, in view of the fact
that $400,000 had been disbursed, that
there should be a close examination into
all accounts and vouchers.
A committee of two was appointed to
attend the conference on Greater San
Francisco. The chairman named J. W.
Sweeney and A. J. Gallagher.
The electricians reported that the
little trouble with the Ocean Shore
railroad had been satisfactorily ad
justed.
The photo engravers announced that
they have assessed their members $1 a
week to sustain their
members during the existing condi
tions.
The milkers* union, reported that
after next January the members will
wear the union button on their hat
The brewers' union reported that
hereafter the wagons will have on each
side the union label.
The cemetery workers reported that
the cemetery mana-gers are laying off
men and threaten to cut wages. The
secretary was instructed to investigate
this matter.
Delegate T. Reardon, who was sent
to the American federation of labor to
represent the San Francisco labor
council in that body, made a lengthy
report
The Btereotypers and electrotypers, j
through delegate Moran, reported that
class in the Job shops had been abol
ished and that all but the Schmidt label
company h.ad agreed to the change. At
this place three of the four men work
ing walked out
J. J. Kenny, George A. Tracy and J.
D. Klrkpatrick were placed In nomina
tion for delegate to the state federation
of labor. Further nominations were
laid over until next Friday.
The janitors* union was empowered
to make arrangements to supply white
help in saloons and <*afeE, where Asiatic
help Is employed. The council appoint
ed Delegates Gallagher, Schilling, Hoff
man and Tracy to assist the janitors.
The organizing committee .-epbrted
that the steam laundry workers have
decided to discontinue payment of the
usual tax to the international union.
This will deprive the union of inter
national protection and an organizer
will be sent here by tho international to
organize another union.
At a meeting of the union printers' mu
tua.l aid society the committee ap
pointed to secure grounds for a pic
nic for 1908 reported that it had se
cured Fairfax, park for Sunday, June
14, and that in time the committee
would report a plan of entertainment
for that day. The society was advised
by communication that the typograph
ical union of Portland. Ore., contem

MOTHER SLEEPS AS ONLY
DAUGHTER STEALS AWAY
Young Railroadman and
Santa Barbara Girl
Elope to City
"Congratulate me? Well, you bet
you can!" exclaimed Harry Glensor, the
adventurous Southern Pacific stenogra
pher who outwitted , the mother of his
brlde*Thursday and ran off with pretty
Elisabeth Hacker of Santa Barbara
while the parent slept In blissful ignor
ance that she was to awake minus a
daughter.
When seen yesterday at the Mission
hotel the couple^had just arrived from
Santa Barbara and were undecided as
to their plans for the future.
"Oh, we'll find a nice, cozy apart
ment," spoke up the bride, who is a
tall, blue eyed blonde.
"You see,, everything was so hur
ried. I, really didn't know that Harry
was coming until the afternoon, and
we were married and on th« train that
evening. Mother is wild, I suppose,
but"—
"Well, she shouldn't have tried to
Btop us," interrupted Harry. »
"Yes," assented the bride- "Harry
and I met each other a year ago. In
Los Angeles, but mother didn't like
him. She wanted me to marry a man
who had more money.
"Am I glad I ran away? Why. of
course. Harry and I love each other."
The bride was the only daughter of
Paschal Hacker of ' the southern city.
Glensor, who is in the general offices
of the Southern Pacific here, went to
Santa Barbara Thursday, saw -the girl
and made plans for the elopement.
They were married by Rev. Benjamin A.
Goodridge in. the afternoon. The girl
then returned home to her mother, who
knew nothing of the affair, and later
in the evening, after' Mrs. Hacker had
retired, she rejoined Glensor and came
to San Francisco. :

Gossip of the Railroads
. .',' Why/ do you lose your temper and
want to fight?" asked the calm railroad
man of an irascible friend. '£. "You know
it is not worth while."
"Confound tjjat fellow! He go4s all
about: the- country abusing us!"
"What dpes he.say?"
; "He says you are a fool." ; :
- "Well, ' I \u25a0 guess I don't . know much."
"He further cays you are loaded all
the time."
"Well, perhaps I am."
"Yes,; but, he says so and; so keeps
you full all the time so as to make
you do as he likes."
"That's a. lie!" roared the calm rail
roadman, getting black In the face with
rage.' "I .always pay for the whisky
we drink. \ lf there Is anything I hate
it is .a 1 calumniator. ;•: To. take \ away a
man's i character ! in that fashion is
tempting him. to commit murder."
D. E. Burley, general passenger agent
of the. Oregon Short Line, hasissued a
circular announcing the completion of
the Yellowstone . park line to; Yellow
stone,Mlont,' a point 70 miles from St.
Anthony, and located directly at the
western entrance to the park. Regular
passenger i service beyond Marysville,
Idaho, will not be inaugurated until
next spring. This new road .will be
the short one into the/national park
and is said to pass through a country
rich in" beauty. Hitherto the Hill lines
have enjoyed a monopoly of the busi
ness inUr the Yellowstone which will
be largely shared by the Harrlman lines
from now on.

: Following the agitation In the east
by large publishers for the reduction
of the duty on news, printing and wrap
ping paper on the ground that . the
American mills could not produce paper
fast i enough to [ supply * the demand,
comes the announcement of tho South
ern Pacific of a reduction in the rate
from French, Ger^nan and English sea
ports to California terminals; on this
commodity. The new figures are 85
cents per 100 pounds in carloads of
30,000 pounds; less than carload lots,
$1.20 per 100 pounds.
The easy days of the freight getter
are over. There was a time when the
chipper ran after him: now he is chas
ing the shipper, and where once he
thought of nothing less than carload
lots he is glad to secure anything in
the shape of freight. Generally speak
ing, the" Ogden route has been cleaned
up, as the volume of tonnage is lighter
and cars are easier to get Good re
porta are received In the city from
Grays Harbor, and the mlllmen say
that they are receiving eight cars a
day now, while a few months ago they
were not able to get a third of the
equipment required from the Northern
Pacific.
Harry A. Buck of the Pennsylvania
lines is , back from a trip through the
northern part of the state and - says
that there Is heavy travel to Europe
from this part of the country. There
is not a town in the north which ia
not. sending Its contingent abroad, the
bulk of travelers being Italians and
Greeks.
As evidence of the enormous travel
to Europe. Henry AvJla received a wire
yesterday from the agents of the : Cu
nard line ordering him not' to book
any more passengers on the Lusitanla,
which sails from New York on Decem
ber 14, as the vessel is completely
filled up. She carries over 2,000 In the
steerage, 600 second class and 600 first
class.

Four extra tourist cars had to be put
on No. 10,. which left this city last
Thursday night, to accommodate the
Greeks and Italians homeward bound.
\"W. H. Davenport of the Colorado
Midland cays that his road was never
In better shape than now to take
freight, as its lines are all cleaned up
and that it has received six new loco
motives during the week for heavy
mountain service.
, E. P. Hosp, who attends to the euca

Frederick "Whitney, general agent of

. The annual pass for 1908 Issued by
the Southern Pacific will be marked
"Not good on ferries, suburban trains
and suburban trains between San Fran
cisco and : San Jose.". It is : said that
only those given to the higher officials
are without these restrictions. John
A. \u25a0•. Gill, -the veteran freight agent of
the Vanderbilt roads, will be probably
the hardest hit by this cruel ukase and
has the ' entire sympathy.! of his friend
